' TURF NOTES. (By Zetland). The sporting pnblio will have plenty of racing to interest them during the holidays, as meetings are lo be held m diiCerenfc j;hiN of the 1

colony. Those in which most interesl; will be manifested by Wairarapa sportsmen will be the Lower Valley, ftlanawatu and ■ Ashhnrst meetings, while the results of the Auckland fixture will algo be eagerly awaited. Unless rain falls before Wednesday the Martinborousli track will be .very hard, and horses that are more or less sore will consequently be somewhat handicapped on this aooount. The arrangements in connection with the meeting will be found very complete, and although the fields will no* be large the raoing should at be very interesting. The following may run forward in their first day engagements:—

Hack Hurdles.—.Rangitoto and Tilson.

l/.V J.C. Handicap. Naraotic and Aboriginal. '

Ruamahanga Hack,—Silken Re'n and Lfivinia. MacFarlane Handicap.—Petticoat and Jolly Friar.

Habk Flying.—Wnilethe and Kai ukn.

Ladies' Jiracf,let. —Truthful and Tangerine. Otaraia Hack. Strathllllan and Hiro.

A number oC MBsterton sports will travel through to tha Manawatu meeting on Boxing Duy. Good fields will be the order of the day, aud the racing should be of a decidedly interesting nature. Ihe following may prove worthy of suppoit for the respective contests:— Hack Huidles.—Maui and Bandmaster.

Manawßtu Cup.—Mystification and Maharanui.

Tirttea Hurdles.—Sardonyx and Pushful.

Awapuni Handicap.—Pink-'un and Bucoleucb.

Gillies' JHaoK.—Marseillaise ami Moral.

Nursery llandioap. Happy Maid and Peail Reef.

Grandstand lJandioap.—Operetta and Wirral.

The Ashhurst meeting, whioh is a deservedly popular fixtur6, will take place on Friday, and tta6 running at Awapuni will serve to Rive a line as to the probabilities at the firstnamed place. The Ashhurst Club is giving a large amount of money away in stakes, no race being of less value tfian 100 bovs, while th e Cup is worth 500 sovs. The Wairarapa horses engaged there are Pemrninao, Full Rate, Mahuta, Luoretius, and Riflemaid, and the best of them may score. Anticipations iir connection with this meeting will be published later.
