, THE DANNEVIRKE MEETING. | ■""■ (By "Also"Started."), j The Spring, meeting of the Danne- ; virko Baciug Oiub will be 'held at Tamaki *to-day. The fixture, though covering one day only, has attracted large fields, and from the calibi 'e of some of the horses engaged, some interesting racing should be witnessed. * . The ball -will be set rolling with the Hack Hurdles, in which eighteen entrants have paid up. Favouritism will lie between Ngatimaru and Daisy Paul. The latter ran third at Marton last week, and appeare to be on the improve. The Umataroa Hack, .seven furlongs, has drawn a nice-field. Styrax (a winner a Marton) and Yankee Doodle have recent form, to recommend them. San Wai is reported to_ be very well at present and likely to" be well supported, while The Summit is said to be more than useful. \ 1 In the Spring Handicap Otahu may Ibe first selection. Ariom and Mys[teriarch had been galloping well prior to the meeting. In the Dannevirke Steeplechase Windage appears to hold a strong • hand. The Ranter and Master Webb I will be his most dangerous oppon--1 ents. The Trial Stakes has an entry of 33 and will give "pimtere" some difficulty in selecting the winner. Whakapona and Lubraline ran prominently at Marton. Grit lawless fell at Marton when jin a prominent position, and may [ make amends in the_ Hack Steeples. | Diavolo ran well at the National meeting, and with the light scale of weight should keep the opposition busy in the Otanga Handicap. Lady Georgia may also run well. The day's racing concludes with the Hack Welter, in which an even lot are engaged. Styrax, if reserved for this event, should run well. Conssiska and Top Note are the only Masterton horses engaged at the meeting, Alecto and Piermoht having been withdrawn. The first- ' mentionel is expected to run well in the Umataroa Hack, seven furlongs.
