FEBItUAHY .MEETING

* Tlic Now Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's Februarv fleeting will be held at Addincrtcm to-day. W itthe exception of the February Handicap, a two-mile race in saddle, which lias drawn a comparatively small acceptance of nine, the fields engaged throughout the day are very satisfactory indeed, and they represent as <;ood a class as there is now in commission in the Dominion. There are seventeen in the Parliamentary Handicap, the chief event of the afternoon, and the material is there lor u :rally stirring contest. Jingle's Duncdin Cup victory showed him to be in good i'ollll at present, but Prince Berlin. who is 011 the lsee mark, is a pacer 01 exceptional briiiiance, as he proved when he established a race record lor a mile and a half at Canterbury Park 011 January ;3rd. Evelyn paced a capital face at Ounedin a fortnight ago behind Don Cfesar when the latter put up his race record for two miles, and Succeed las been racing very consistently of late. .Master Raymond, the only trotter in the race, also claims an engagement in the Members' Handicap later 011 in the afternoon. The rain overnight will deaden the track slightly, but a good day s racing seems assured. I hero will be a special tram service from the Square, the first race starling I'J.HO p.m. The dav's card is as follows:—ADDIXGTOX HANDICAP (in paddle), of !'!■. eov.s. 5.10 or hotter. Two miles.
