OTAGO HUNT CLUB MEETING

Several of these horses have shown promising form.of late, and may do even better as the season prugi-c-.v .■•-. Silver Paper gave early promise in . .vn-ycar-old races last spring, but subsequently met with a mishap that, put him in retirement.. However, as this eon of Paper Money.has not had a race for many months, backers may prefer fit honfcs like Narrative and Marjoram.

— The Otago Hunt Club will hold its annual gathering at Wingatui to-morrow. For most of the races excellent acceptances were received, and the class ,of horses engaged is above what_ is usually seen at such meetings. Seeing that many of the acceptors showed winning or promising form at the recent meeting of the Canterbury Jockey Club backers may have to accept'small dividends.in some cases. Racing will open with the SEA VIEW HUNTEKS' HUItDLES, Ot 125 sovs; ono mile and a half. st. lb. . st. lb. Gold Town .. 9 12 Armchair ... 9 0 Umtali 9 7 Caramba .... 9 0 Gqldtown has not fulfilled early promiste as a hurdler, but the son of Absurd should be capable of extending the small and moderate lot opposing him in this event. : PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP, of 110 sots five furlongs, st. lb. st. lb.

Meadow Lark runs a good five furlongs and, being well, should figure prominently in the race. OTAGO HUNT CLUB STEEPLECHASE, of 150 sots; about two milcsjind a half. at. lb. st. lb.

Message Boy may be dangerous. JOCKEY CLUB HANDICAP, of 130 sots,; one mile. t Bt. lb. at. lb. Taboo 9 3 Eaton Hells .. 7 13 Battlement .. S 11 Miss Winkle . 712 Overdrawn .. 8 3 Konaltl 7 7 Pink Terraco . 8 0 This is a small but quite good class field.

Even allowing this, Ranui at the difference in weights should hold him' safe over a two-mile course, and Jovial is also at his best over this distance. ■ HUNTEKS' FLAT.

his load of 12.5, King Sol should have a strong following of bettors. VAUXHALL HANDICAP, of 115 sots; six furlongs. St. lb. St. lu.
