The new racing season as far as tin Auckland province is concerned will b< opened at Ellerslie to-morrow, when th( Pakuranga Hunt Club will hold thcii annual meeting. If the weather remain; line there should he some good racing while the going should be in good order foi tliis period of the year. Hunters' SteepTes. Half a dozen remain in the Greemnoun Steeplechase, with which the programmi will open. Ruby Meteor was third in tin Greenlane Steeplechase at the Grea Northern meeting, but fell at the Relie meeting while contesting the Harkawa; Steeplechase. She schooled well on Thurs day. Zane Grey occupied a similar positio; in the Hunt ,Club Cup at the Grea Northern fixture', while Sir Pathfinder showed excellent promise at Rotorua, bu is to run in the Hurdles. Valpeen, whe ' ran second in a steeplechase at Te Rap: in May, and Ironic may he the best o the others. Those who may appeal mos are RUBY METEOR ZANE GREY. VALPEEN. Harris Hurdles. Glenade and Sir Pathfinder, who wer. first and second respectively at Rotorua head the Harris Memorial Hunters Hurdles, and both should again go well The Hiker has been jumping well a Takanini,_ and is a likely sort, while o the remainder Mangu Bang, who is no too sound, Cordon and Coachman ma; prove best The favourites may be GLENADE THE HIKER SIR PATHFINDER. A Big Field. The Sylvia-Park Handicap has attractei the largest field of the day, twenty-fou: being paid up for. Gay Sheila was agooi two-year-old last season, and if she race up to that form will have a show. Roya Gallant has disappointed, but Sinkini Fund's two good efforts at Marton wil bring him support, though he found si: furlongs a bit too far for him at the Grea Northern meeting. Anyhow, he has plent; of pace. Tavern Knight has an engage ment in the Dunedin Handicap as well a this race, and if he is started- he will b strongly in favour after his good effort a Trentham last month. Cherry King, wh is in the same stable, has a lot of speei and was a winner at his last start, beatin; Rapper and Gay Sheila over sis furlong at the Franklin meeting in May Hushing Von at the same, fixtur and also at the Relief meeting at Ellersli last month. : She will have to be consid ered, as will also Grand Score, wh accounted for Tavern Knight at Trenthar last month. Alpinus is an unlikely startei Dark Marble was second to Allegretto a Ellerslie last month, 'while Merry Lap i a promising sort and should be benefite by his race at Rotorua. Alignment ha been going along all right at Takanini an should go well. Supreme Ruler, My Monej and Caliente may appeal most of the other engaged. Those that may carry mos money in the absence of Tavern Knigb are GRAND SCORE HUSHING SINKING FUND. The Chief Handicap. The Jellicoe Handicap, the 'chief fla event of the day, has drawn nine accep tors, but. it is stated that Chang ha injured a shoulder and will not start. Kin March, after his unlucky run in the Jul; Handicap at Ellerslie last month, whici he should have won, will be well fancied Plying Prince failed in that event, whil Protomint has nothing to commend bin recently. Speedmint also went badly ii the July Handicap at Ellerslie, but wit] A. Tinker aboard to-morrow she should no lack on the score of horsemanship and-i likely to be more troublesome. Maori Roy after has good effort at Ellerslie, when h was just beaten in the July Handicap, wil have plenty of friends. Those that may b in demand .are KING MARCH MAORI BOY SPEEDMINT. The Hunt Cup. Winnagan has had three successive vie tones over steeples recently and promise to be well supported in the Hunt Oup Nukutere showed a return to form by win ning at Rotorua. Mangu King, Zane Grey Ironic, Valpeen 'and Grant's Opal hav engagements in the opening event, am their showing then may influence tb betting so far as they are concerned. Tb public will probably go for NUKUTERE WTNNAGAN ZANE GREY. The Auckland Handicap. Kiltowyn, who won a double at Ellersli on his last appearance, is top-weight ii the Auckland Handicap, and he shouh take some beating if produced. Gigantii raced well at; Rotorua. Tatyoon is speedy and if he jumps away all right should bi in the picture. Merry Lap has a prioi engagement. Sandy Dix, Beryl Latour an( Wee Pat may appeal most of the others The favourites may be KILTOWYN GIGANTIC TATYOON. Ladies' Bracelet. They are' a moderate lot in the Ladies Bracelet. Searcher has not been placec since he ran third over a mile at Rotoru; in February. London was third, in th< Ladies' Bracelet at Rotorua last month while Ruby Meteor is one of the most f:ca poned horses in the race. Coachman hai been going well at Cambridge, and Gastro noiny showed up for a while in a divisioi of the Parnell Handicap at Ellerslie las month. Those that may appeal most an RUBY METEOR GASTRONOMY COACHMAN. Dunedin Handicap. Greek Gold, who heads the Duiiedi] Handicap field, performed well at the Grea Northern meeting, and despite his impos is sure to run a good race. He gallopei well yesterday. Lady Quex lias been ol the scene for some time, but Lord Va went well on his last appearance at Ellen '. lie. Tradesman is a smart sprinter am has been going well at Te Rapa. Chroma dyne was fourth in the York Handicap one mile, at the Great Northern meeting while Deputy Ruler was a good two-yeai old last season, and his latest track wor] has been encouraging. However, he may b in need of a race. Delrain was fourth ii the Visitors' Handicap, six furlongs, at th Great Northern meeting, and if he jump away smartly will have a show. Taver Knight, if reserved for this race, will hav plenty of friends. Cherry King may b the host of the others. A trio that may b fancied are GREEK GOLD TAVERN KNIGHT TRADESMAN.
