SPRING MEETING.

TO-MORROW'S PROGRAMME.

FIRST JUVENILE CLASSIC

THE FIELDS DISCUSSED,

•The spring meeting of the Avonclale Jockey Club will open at Avonclale tomorrow, and if the weather is fine the fixture should prove a most interesting one, for excellent fields are engaged throughout. The going is sure to be on the holding side after recent rain, but still good finishes should result.

The Maiden Plate. A large field is "engaged in the Maiden Plate,' and included among them are several good two-year-olds last season. Chrysology. was second 111 the Nursery Handicap, four furlongs, at the Hawke's •Bay Spring meeting, third in the Musket Stakes, five furlongs, at Ellerslie, second in the Wellcsley Stakes, five furlongs, third in the Hopeful Stakes, five furlongs, and third in the North Island Challenge Stakes, seven furlongs, to Cylinder and Paganelli, at Trentham. If lie has gone 011 the right way in the meantime he should be hard to beat. Karangapai also showed promisajgst season, being second in five and sixfurlong juvenile events at the Waikato autumn meeting and running second in the Onslow Stakes, six at Ellerslie.. He may be in need of a race. Rosshire was only just beaten in two sixfurlong races at the Wellington winter meeting, while he showed up till the straight in; the Auckland Handicap, one mile, at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting at Ellerslie. Arch Eagle, who is also cuffed, was fourth in that event. Va°iies_sa showed a lot of speed when sh.: ledKirito the, straight in 'the Auckland Handicap, one mile, at the Pakuranga meeting. Vanessa has been galloping Avell'iii'hcr work since then. Stonehengo, who is working/well at Teßapa, was second to Helium in the Fitzroy Handicap, -one-.mile, the Great Northern meeting, while Dominican; it is stated, will not .start. The public may give most support' to

i>«; > CHRYSOLOGY ROSSHIRE " J • , VANESSA, ' The Kingsland Hurdles. Glenstaiy who is top-weight with 11.4 ill the Kingsland Hurdles, has not been brought up for the meeting. Make Up won at; the recent Martou meeting and got third money at Wanganui, and he should gotwell. Red Comet, won this event last year,.£hut has not scored since then. Pemlemiis is reported to be going well at Te.Rapa, and it is stated "he will.be in a- wh.ile at :least.". Daylight "annexed :the .Talayera' Hurdles at last Wellington meeting, which was hisjlast start. Quineoliia has been going well,in (; hift-work, ,ynd ,avas third in his last tw.o: '.'oiitingsr-^the.-' Orakei' Hurdles, one mile and three-quarters, at the Great North'erfa'meeting, and' the Ngaroto Hiu> dlos, one mile and. a half, at the Waipa raefetingl ' Carlaris was only beaten by a head ill' the Pahmure Hurdles, one mile and three-quarters', ! at the recent Great Northern meeting, but failed in his two subsequent efforts over hurdles. He was third ill,'the Auckland Handicap, one mile, at the Pakuranga meeting. Sea Cob will noi be a starter. The bulk of the investments niay go on - t

* H- MAKE UP . '< DAYLIGHT T CALARIS. The Champion Hack Plate. The; Champion Hack Plate is a new race, run at special weights, over seven furlongs. Te Iloia started On ten qccasiongjast season, only being twice out of a place. He won two scven-/urlong races, was second'four times-and third once. If the goirig is riot against him he should have" a chance. The Sun was just, beaten by Cruachari'. in a six-furlong event at Waipa, and, going on to Treiitliani, was fourth'in the . Te Aro Handicap, seven furlongs, and won the Crofton Handicap, of similar distance. He was also fourth in the Sylvia Park Handicap, seven furlongs, at the,recent Pakuranga meeting. He is a likely sort. Sir Kay.was three times second but of five starts last season, his best effort being when lie was beaten by half a length by Marble King in a six-furlong event at Waipa last June.' He should ;go' well. Royal Finance won very; easily over six furlongs at tlie -last, Taranaki Hunt meeting and was second in tlie Electric Handicap, five furlongs, at Martoii," but she failed at Wanganui. :_-Lucky Alice won a division of the Maiden Plate, seven furlongs, at the Avondale ,- meeting last season, , which was her only success. - Sir Mond also scored over sevenfurlongs twice on the same .vourse during the autuinn. Volimond is a good sort and Vat the, recent Pakuranga irieeting, showed that;,, she -was approaching Iter best by carrying 9.0 (top-weight) into .second place in the Sylvia Park Handicap, seven furloiigs. Courtsey,.thc sister to Honour, has only'started twice, winning a Nursery Handicap, five furlongs and a half, at Hastings in the spring, and the. Ryssley Plate, five furlongs, at Riecartoii in the autumn. She will have a lot of friends, Johneen led .all the way in theMoutoa Hack Handicap, one mile and 110 yards, at Wanganui last Saturday, while Waimuri won the Sylvia Park Handicap, seven furlongs, at the Pakuranga meeting,- which was her last start. The favourites may be s COURTESY '• VOLIMOND ! ' SIR KAY The Big Event.

The Avondalc Cup., is, tlie principal . event of tlie day. ' Star ' Stranger and Historic have both been awarded' 9.11, a ncl it is stated that if the ground is heavy Star StVanger 'will not start. Last -■ season Historic.won this event, With 8.11 and took the Mitchclsou Cup with 9 7. He is very well to-day and should run a great race. Prodice was a brilliant filly: last season, being second to Historic in the Avondale Cup with B.7. r "She'has run some sterling races over a mile and a half and further since then and she looks

in excellent condition for the Cup tomorrow. , Seatown ran third in the Corrio "wall Handicap, one mile and a quarter, and was second in the York Handicap, one mile, at the Great Northern. meeting. These were his last starts, and he pro- > raises to run well again to-morrow. Imager Rose wa£ a good mile and a quarter horse last season, and she has done a good preparation. Mendip was second in the Parliamentary Handicap, °'ie mile. ,and a quarter, at Trcntharo, second in the Marangai Handicap, eight furlongs and a half, and the Higgie Handicap, one mile -and a quarter, at .Wangqjiui last week, but he.is. meeting, a

much stronger field to-morrow. Paddon has yet to win over a mile and a quarter, though he has been placed over that distance. He has run well during his last few outings. Maori Coy promises to get the track to suit him and he has been galloping well at' Avondale. He beat Seatown in the York Handicap at Ellerslie in June last. High Pitch won the Jellicoe Handicap, one mile and a quarter, at the Pakuranga meeting test month after running second in the Wliyte Handicap, one mile, at Trentham. He should be suited by the conditions. Standfast was second over a mile and a quarter at the Waipa meeting and third in the Jellicoe Handicap at Ellerslie. • He is nicely treated. Of the others Hannibal appeals most. The ,final selections may be ' "■ " ■ - t

HISTORIC Prodi ge SEATOWN". The Avondale Stakes. • Seventeen, arc carded for the Avondale Stakes, the first two-year-old classic of the season. King Colossus" was second in the Debutante Stakes at Wangaiiui and was finishing 011 well. He should again run a good race. Easter Time, Teller, Summer* Tinie and Typo are others engaged who competed in that event, but tliye finished out of a place. Baroscope has been sprinting weil at Te Awamutu, while Bqnnvlca has been going nicely irr her work at Ellerslie. Good report arc to hand concerning E. Pope'", pair, Roscric and Royal Artist, both of whom are trained at Takanini. Lady Vane galloped smartly at Avondale yesterday morning and may be the best of the others. Backers may go for

BONNYLEA ' ■ KING COLOSSUS BAROSCOPE. ' The Flyinfc Stakes. 'I l e Flying Stakes forms the other "kg" of the double. Lady Quex.is topweiyht with O.S, but she .showed herself to be a good Sprinter last season, winning, among other races, the All-Aged Stakes at Ayondale, beating Paganelli. She should be improved by, her race at Wanganui. Paganelli has beeii going along well at Te Papa, and if at his best should'.take some beating. Great Charter won the Great Easter Handicap at Piccarton .last season among other races, while Nancy Lee has raced well up to;a mile during the winter. Supremacy may be in need of a race, as' mayalso Awarerc. Te Atiawa was second in the J Sea field Handicap and third in the Owen Handicap,, the. open. sprint on the second day, at Wanganui last week, but it is stated lie .will be reserved for the Henderson Handicap. • Royal Ruler was a good two-year-old last season and looks greatly improved since he raced at the Pakuranga meeting. Prince Val .is a useful sort, whiU' Lucv Rose was second in the Dun* edih Handicap, six furlongs, at the recent Pakuranga. meeting at Elleyslic, which ■wasjier.lasf, start. Awaken was a smart two-year-old last season, winning three events and running second' on two other ' She should;go well. Awamutu, White Wings and Flying PriiVce" am the most likely of the others.- Most money inay go 011 - ■ " v : •

• ROYAL RULER I XANjOY LEE I ' AWAKEN. ' The Swanson Handicap. % - who is at the head of the Swanson Handicap field, has an engagement in the Champion Hack Plate, but if reserved for this 1 (event should go well. Gay Cockade won over seven furlongs last season and was placed on other occasions. Trishna has only-had four races since being brought from Sydney, his best performance being ,in ; . running third to Te Hoia and Unoeo over seven furlongs at,the Waipa meeting. Principal was second in the Ranfurly Handicap, seven furlongs,- at the Great Northern meeting, after running-third in a division of the Jervois Handicap. . Claremore won over seven furlongs at Gisborne arid later in the day was just beaten in a sixfurlong event. Tetracliate may be, in need of a race,,but The Sun, if started in this event in preference to the Champion. Hack Plate, should give a good account of himself. Catoma won the Auckland Handicap, one mile, at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting and is going .along nicely, while Commandant has.only started once, and that- was, when he won the Okawa Maiden Plate, live furlongs'and a half, at the Hawke's Bay Hunt meeting recently. He is a bit sore after his trip from Napier, and is an unlikely, starter. Biddy Comet looks the best of those lower down. The chief fancies may be
