"Ths Press" Special Service AUCKLAND. Humphrey should win the first leg of the TJLB. double on the opening night of the Auckland Trotting Club's meeting at Alexandra Park tonight. In the light of hie outstandIng form lately he will need

only to basin smartly to set his main rival, Governor Frost, an apparently hopeless task from U yards over 11 furlongs, Humphrey has won his last thrse recta easily and earlier thia year scored In a heat of the Inter-Dominion Championships. Even though all four of these wins were in distance races he looks well treated on the limit In the second heat of the Queen City Pace. His two wins preceding the championships were In 10 fur, long races so there Is no reason to doubt his sprinting ability. The North Island's top trotter, French Pass, is expected to master his stiff handicap of M yarde In the second log, the second heat of the National Trot. French Pass has been In great form lately. At hie last appearance he made abort work of a strong field of pacers in the Taranaki Trotting Cup on April Mighty Chief looks the one to beat In the first heat of the National Trot. Mighty Chief la rated the best trotter in the South Island and his first appearance at Alexandra Park la being eagerly awaited. The track will be fast as long as there Is no rain today.
