The first race, which; starts at V&S.&'jb.—.., will be the ; ; : S 8 tHandicap Hurdle Raoe, for which 9 havo accepted, and I expect to sec them all go to tho post, and for this event I shall tip OWHAOKO . ;" HURRICANE .-..,,.

Then. comes tho race of the day, the Napier Cup Handicap, for which 12 paid up, but Waitiri has since dropped out; but -with such horses as Pasha, PearL Spade Guinea, The Shah, and Wapiti ; and Scot Free, Salisbury, Orwell, and Clyde in ihe light division, "it will take a lot of picking, but taking one thing and another into con-. sideration,my tips aro SPADE GUINEA - THE SHAH pasha; Then comes the Welter Handicap, for ■which 9 cried content. Did Tho Shah start '"a fresh horse for this event, I should pick "■"him for number one, but I don't think he 3*lll start for it. I shall"therefore tip ~* .<_ tamahine' '^•-■+-_r_B__t4_--POETr •' - The Hack Race'should be won by Torea. The Selling Race has 10 entered for it, and, should all go for it, I should tip VINAIGRETTE SYLPH ORWELL. The Flying Handicap will be the last.race of the day. It had IS acceptors, but I doubt if Apropos will bo here, and I have just heard that Pearl has been scratched for the.Napier and Flying Handicaps. I shaU therefore tip PASHA SPADE GUINEA MISS DARGON.
