TARANAKI HUNT CLUB'S FIXTURE

The annual meeting o£ the Taranaki Hunt Club takes place at New Plymouth to-morrow. Class is lamentably weak in the jumping and hunter races, but in the! open and hack flat events there is material engaged which should produce good racing. ltacing -will start at 11.45 with the LIPPERTON HUUTERS1 HUKDIjKS, of SO aovs; ono mile-and a balf. ■:

Blago went a fair race at Hastings last Saturday, and Inahman ran a good second in the same event last year. Possibly Inahman will improve ou lust year's race. OPUNAKE SCUERY, of 90 sots; flvo furlongs; all 8.0. LIonore? Bisognc—Camptlrc Buster Cut maro filly Finey Boundary Our Nancy Tnmatero . Tangerlm Pompeius Potoncy Jtlllct Calapat Edulof Teresa Bell Safa' Calaralne Miss Pakako Lady Qucx Hying Bingo None of the acceptors have any striking form, but last season Buster Cut and Tangerim showed pace enough,in races to warrant their being respected in this class. The three-year-old Calapat would have preference, but may want a race after a lengthy spell. „ HUNTERS' MAIDEN STEEPLECHASE, of 90 sovs; two miles. • stlb stlb WaUanehau ..10 7 Hilton 10 0 Huirangi Girl 10 4 Vitality 10 0 Hats Off .... 10 2 Excelsior .... 10 0 Trouble 10 2 Flying Fran ..30 0 Liberal Lady 10 0 Passport 10 0 Nimblef oot .. 10 0 This .event will prove a puzzle to bettors, as not an acceptor has any performance over fences as a recommendation, although Waitanehu showed winning form in flat events decided at a non-totalisator meeting held at Urenui. .

Seeing that Whizone and Troilus arc well seasoned by winter racing, they should at least run prominently.

Many of the acceptors will be short of work, but Monaghan, Oration, and Hoariri have all been racing during the winter season, and no doubt will run well;, , v HUNTERS' PLAT HANDICAP, of 90 sovs; one mile- and a quarter. ■' stlb stlb Bay Dighton .. 11 S Cuyrria 10 0 Waitanehau ..10 7 Razor 10 0 Blago 10 G Flying Fran . 10 0 Haeremai ... 10 0 Quarrelsome Michael .

Of the other acceptors,, Bay Dighton and Waitarehu have past performances to recommend them.

Monsogne raced well on a soft track at Egmont last May, and may do so again'to-morrow. The stablemates, 'Miss Mercia and Te Atiawa, are also likely' to perform well.
