There will be plenty of racing on Monday when the Wellington Meeting will be held and the one-day fixtures of the Waikato Hunt, Waipawa, Waverley, aud North Canterbury Clubs will be disposed of. The Gore Club will commence its meeting on Monday and conclude on Wednesday. The Carterton . and Banks Peninsula Meetings will be held next Saturday. Cup and Stewards' Acceptors. There were only one or two surprising omissions in the list of acceptors for the New Zealand Cup published to-day, namely Rabbi and Atholspear. Rabbi's defection, however,, was expected by those well informed, for his connections were averse to racing him over the gruelling two miles early "in the season, for he has not had a sufficiently solid preparation for a Cup horse. Paquito apparently is to race at Iflemington, and Oratrix has not done any real work since coming home" from Sydney. Of those left in,' Star Stranger, Historic, and Prince Humphrey should give good accounts of themselves, while concentrate will have a chance to make amends for Australian failures. Cashier, Seatown, Yoma, Hoylake, and Piuthair were racing to-day at Trentham. Prodice, a steady Northern fancy, has a race at her mercy at Cambridge on Monday. Chide is regarded by Southerners as invincible. He certainly appears to hold safe all the light-weight brigade, and be the greatest danger to the top weights. The Stewards' Handicap has not. been weakened materially by the first acceptances. It-presents an open appearance at this distance, and until the Trentham races are disposed of, not much can be said about it: Class is well to the fore, and the- light-weights will have to show great form to have any chance with those in the top half of the handicap. The Riccarton Classics. The Welcome Stakes, to be decided at Eiccarton on New Zealand- Cup Day, Should be the first real test of the season. The best so far, Simba and Satisfy, will _e opposed by the likely injprovers Praise, Intruder, Red Royal, King Musket, and Al Jolson. At present Honour, Pink Coat, and Eaglet dominate the position in the Derby, but three-year-olds like Jaloux, Stealth, and Meprisant may come into the picture a little as time goes on. Honour should be a better colt by the time the Riccarton Meeting comes round, and through Phar Lap he reads like a tough adversary for .all the rest. At the same time, both' Pink Coat and Eaglet should prove worthy opponents. The fillies' race, the Oaks Stakes, probably will be spoiled by the presence of Eaglet in the field. Stately and Disorder appear to be the1 best of the opposition, and of these probably Stately will be Eaglet's most formidable opponent. Harcourt Cup Day. On Monday the star event at Trentham will be the race for the Harcourt Cup. The two Southerners Pink Coat and Silver Paper are regarded as decidedly serious contenders, and at a mile and a quarter Pink Coat is selected to beat the brilliant Paper Money gelding. Vertigern, Prince Humphrey, Star Stranger, Admiral Drake, Commendation, and Eaglet, look the possibilities of the North Island brigade. Eaglet beat Pink Coat at- Ellerslie, and as a. side .issue there will be great interest in the second duel between this pair. They are proved good three-year-olds, and on the • weight-for-age scale they should beat the older horses and dispute the issue. The vote goes to Pink Coat. ' Waikato Hunt Club. For a hunt club the Waikato body, thanks to its tenacious hold on the Labour Day date, is able to distribute good prize money. The principal event on Monday isWAIKATO HDNT CLUB STEEPLECHASE, of 630 sovs • about three miles.

Hors.es who appeal in the minor events are: Democratic and Luminary, Tasty and Abbey Queen, Democratic and Omeo, Hakanoa and King's Guard. The Waverley Meeting. The Waverley Meeting on Monday will cater for the Taranaki horses and racing men, the fields being of good class. The principal' event is WAVERLET-WAITOTAftA CUP. of 300 sovs; one mile and a quarter.

In the remaining events horses who appeal are: Annoyer and Marica, Royal Acre and Vivo, Singer and Fortalice, Potency and Calamine, Singer and Thrift, and Fernden and Just So. On the Eastern Side. The Waipawa Meeting will provide Hawkes Bay racing folk with an opportunity of enjoying their pastime. Break o' Day and High Court appeal most in the Waipawa County Handicap, and Sylvan Dell and Kaihoro in the Railway Handicap. The minor events should see the following to the fore:. Best Friend (two engagements, Delude, Repay, Wilnioreaua, |md High Society.

Havering. Havering is to have his next run in the Stewards' Handicap at Riccarton. He was withdrawn from tlio Wellington sprint event before tho publication oi handicaps and he is in the Stewards' with 8.3. There is no doubt that Havering is one of the "finds" of the past season, and he might easily add to his record by scoring in the big sprint at Riccarton. He goes South next Saturday night. Quite a number of people have been anxious to buy Havering, but to all and sundry Mr. J. M. Corcoran has replied "Not for sale at present." Good four-%ure sums have been offered and turned down. The Value of Jaloux. A Queenslander received- the shock of his life recently, when he confidently approached Mr. G. D. Greenwood with an offer to buy his gelding Jaloux. "Is Jaloux for sale?" he asked. "He is." responded Mr. Greenwood. '-'Would 500 guineas buy him?" was the next question. "It certainly would not," answered Mr. Greenwood. "One thousand two hundred guineas is the price." The conversation ceased, but the Queenslander. as he turned away, murmured, "He must have thought I wanted Gloaming."
