•-AUCKLAXD, This Pay

Good fields are carded for the Paku-. ranga Club's Annual Meeting at Kllerslic to-morrow, ;m J stimo very , interesting racing is anticipated. The course •JS in good order in spile of the fact that' the winter has been very-wet, .and .unless' Ihere is more rain the going should .not -.be .worse than.slightly .holding. The-programme and prospects arc: — GREEXJIOUNT HUNTERS' - STEEPLECHASE■ fHAJiItfCAI', of 15(1 soys; about two miles . . .and ; a hair. fit ]h Bt]b lown Boauty . 10 4 Clonlarf .Bill . -9 0 lenaubin ... 9 9 Mountain la-ra 9 0 St. Lucas ... 9 1 Trampas 9 0 ■'. .There is a weak field in tbe Greenraount •Hunters-Steeplechase, and the race, should •provide -To-H^n Beauty, who has three :successive seconds to his credit, with a .golden.-opportunity to open his winning' '.account. Tow.n-Benuty has been working »eally.-we!l, and..will probably start a short-, priced favourite.

Recent, form .suggests a first-class chance forTe Homai in.the Harris Memorial-Hunt-ers' Hurdles, and his prospects oi'-succeas appear very bright. Lack of recent-racing' might trouble Pennyplain, .although he is a. very capable performer in liis class. '"Of the others Land Measure, Ruby Dawn, and, Xrittle Wonder may be as likely as any. : The favourites may be Te Homai ..and Ruby 'Dawn.

Full Measure has not done .a .great deal since he bled slightly o4'/Tuesday, but he.may Tun well in spite d this. Bed .Lion has two recent successes to. recommend him, and others who may be'capable o£ solid efforts are Subeditor, Emancipation, Catch 'Em, Valueless, and L'Allegro. Karangapai is .another possibility:, although he .is not .quite at his':best yet.. The public may fancy Red Lion and Valueless. JELLICOE HANDICAP, nf 350 soys; one mile aud a quarter.

King's Counsel schooled well yesterday morning and must have a chance. Lik<*ly lightweights are Town Beauty and Royal Visitor, who are -both on the improve.: The favourites may be Billy Boy and King'-s Counsel. .

There are many with chances and the xlraw for post positions will be Jtn important factor. Tancriri has been sprinting with great dash, and will be one of the fittest horses in the field. His condition might be a great assistance in a hard race, more especially .when some of the others are not quite ready. However, bejnnners like Biddy's Boy, Hampton 'Park, Barascope, and Royal Artist will give him considerable trouble, and Ja«ldy Karo may also have to be seriously reckoned with. A likely pair are Biddy's Boy and Taneriri. for nextlpsom derby - An English writer says that it may easily go down in history that the winner of nest year's English Derby won the Coventry Stakes at Ascot ou 16th June last. Of course, a lot can happen in between times, but G'oekpen, a chest-nut.-colt by Buchan from Margeritta, won that race stylishly, and is' now entitled to pride of place among his own age. He is described as the best-looking two-year-.old colt $een out this season, and lacks nothing on the score of breeding. His .dam, who is a daughter of Charles O'Malley, was one of the best juvenile gallopers of her year. Hardy, runner-up to Cockpen, w;is doing well at the finish r>f the live furlongs, and as he is a son of Blandford, who has sired the Derby winners Trigo and Blenheim, bis future will" be followed with interest.
