(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") HAWERA, This Day. Fare for Tarauaki racegoers.on Boxing Day is provided by the Taranaki Jockey Club in its Summer Meeting at New Plymouth. Most of the horses engaged belong to the district, but there are a few acceptors from outside centres. The main,race is the CHffISTMAS HANDICAP, of 350 soys; one mile and a quarter. st lb stlb The Swell ... 9 0 Bonbgne .... 7 5' Marjoram ... 8 9 Belle Star ... 7 5 Melissa 8 1 Royal Finance 7 2 . Yoma ...... 8 1 The Christmas Handicap will be a small field, and the two top-weights, The Swell and Marjoram, look like dominating the situation. Yoma, however, is reported from Stratford to be in great fettle, and his trainer (J. Butler) did not accompany Seatown to Auckland; but will be at New Plymouth to see his old favourite run. Fayoßrites are likely to be The Swell-Belle Sta^T bracket and Marjoram. . . . The -open sprint is the FLYING HANDICAr, of 210 soys; six furlongs. stlb st lb Rldgemount .. 9 0 Green Linnet . 7 5 Marjoram ... 8 IS GoM Dawn .. 7 2 To Atiawa .. 7 12 Belle Star ..7 2 Chief Link- .. 7 11 Royal Finance 7 () Bonogno .... 7 7 Monsogne ... 7 0 The issue is very open in the Flying Handicap, but four who will claim plenty

of attention are Ridgemount (with whom Belle Star, if started, will be bracketed), Te Atiawa, Chief Link, and Green Linnet.
