WELLINGTON RACES TO-DAY'S MEETING AT TRENTHAM. Racing' will bo in full swing at, Trentham to-day, when the winter mectinr of the Wellington Bating Olub will bo concluded. If ■ the ■weather is fine the attendanci will again bo on tho large side, and those who travel by train should noto tliat the specials run from Lambton Station every few minutes from 9.W a.m. ■. .The fields are again ion the large side, and on the whole of the races there will be two dividends, Several horses that did not Btartoii tho first day are down to compete, and the racing should again no very interesting. ■ '• .

The flrßt event is timed for 11.J0 a.m., at which hour Mr. O'Connor will dispatch the big field in tho 'Talavora Hack Hurdles. Alteration, Tempo. Pawerewere, and Trentham Hose are fresh horses, anil of these the Fordell representative may carry most support, though it should be remembered that he is making his first publio appearanco in a Jumpm« event. Meltchikoff has been raised 151b., which should aasift to.Rtop him, and th>! place, getters on Wednesday, viz., Ethiopian and Otauru Kid should hold him safe. •■ Fa]-staff-mil do better to-day, an 4 to will Ob.ummy. Parisian Diamond, who is No. 1 on the card for the Livernool Handicap, has been dropped 2lb. .for his failure on Wcdne.s day. He was given a slight let up after racing at Hastings, and will be improved by the race In the Stewards' Handicap, but he doe 3 not' get read as a probable, and should be held safe by several of tnc light-weights notably Hymarty, l'rinco Cbarleroi, and Eovnl Exchange. In the Hack arid" Hunterß' Steeplechasn on Wednesday Bill was kept a way out of his ground." but at the business end-he was finishing strongly. He'may do a lot better to-day as he meets Sturdee on considerably better terms than when he beat him at Kapler. Nlcomar la.a Tresh horse „thaf if. bred the right way to cret, round. Mattock jumped badly onWednesday, and.Master .Webster seems to have tired of the business.

The performance of Molvneaux was so full lof merit on Wednesday, that with only 111b. moro 1 ' In tho saddle, he is> euro to come in for a-large measure of siwport to-dn-y when the distance is two furlongs further. Printemps will bo well suited by the distance, and Ben Dolt was noticed finishing very stronirly at the right end in the-Te Aro Handicap on Wednesday.

Lochella. 12st. 131b.. has only cot to start in, the July Steeplechase, and he will be a strong nublin fancy. Glndful is practically a frail horae. and can bo depended upon to uct round to-day. and Guanaco slicud also do well under his light; weight.. ■ ; .■ Considering the ease with which b!i« w„on the Stewards': Handicap 80-P'fci is ca;tain to come i" for strong support in the. 'Winter Oats Handicap, which is run over a mile course. Dainty Step, who was prominent at a mile on the opening day, will also have plenty ,of admirers. Bagdad is a'pood performer • on. a heavy track, and'so is Matatua. , Slowcoach may be favourite In the Pinal. Hurdles, but he has a fair rise in weight, and the pace will bo a lot faster than was;the enno in the Winter Hurdles. Rekanui will bo.out forcing, the running, and the ton weights will be kept at it to go With the Opalti-traincd mare. Ladozenr is on the improve, and go is Kauri King. The latter is always at home in heavy uolng. Thore is'fl, big field in the Kia Ora Handicap, bufT class is not a strong feature of it. ■ .

Eed Signal, wlio was out forcing the pace on Wednesday, 1b ngain engaged, and should, do better over tho 'shorter course. '■,'.—

\ Magistrate was a runner in open .company en Wednesday, but ho is to go back into hack class to-day. and will bo mora, at home there.. He has been galloping very well on the. track. Yankee Dan was prominent for five furlongs at Napier, and is a fresh horse to-day. ..
