OPENING DAY

Fancied Candidates At Auckland VERY OPEN RAILWAY Ellerslie's star attraction of the year, the Auckland Racing Club's Cup meeting, will open on Friday, Boxing Day, and though petrol restrictions and cancellation of some transport services will operate against people living in the country the attendance is bound to be large because city and suburban dwellers who might otherwise have gone on holiday will probably now be found attending the Cup meeting. The double, Cup and Railway Handicap has been discussed from every angle and there i s no necessity to again deal lengthily with those races. Suffice to say that Beau Leon and Lou Rosa, the favourites, hold their ground and are expected to play a prominent part in the decision of the Cup, while Llandaff and Bronwen promise to be hard to beat in the Railway. o>i? eUing w i" be win and place and the following should get support in their engagements:— meir Robinson Handicap: First division The Crow ' second division, Verus!
