MOTOR CYCLE RACING.

■ i AT TAKAPUNA RACECOURSE. NEXT SATURDAY'S ATTRACTION. All the'best of the Dominion's motor cyclists will be seen encompassing the Takapuna racecourse on Saturday next at speeds well in excess of 60 miles per hour, for on that day the Auckland Motor Cycle Racing Club is holding its annual race meeting. Tho club bas been favoured with larger entries than ever before —in fact 44 riders will be seen in action. These include Percy Coleman, D. Managh, who has just received a new racing cycle from America, McCready, Herbert, Cragg, Mangham, Goodwin, Rowe, Bell, Shakespear, Bray and many others. More younger riders than ever have entered, particularly in the races for light weight machines and, viewed broadly, the meeting should be easily the most successful in the history of the club. The Great Northern Handicap, of 12 miles, the big race of the day, carries with it a stake of £41, the sum of £25 going to the winner. Handicaps for all the events will be published in to-morrow's "Star."
