GOOD MAIDEN BRACKET

With Mrs. W. D. Graham's pair, Merry Way and Glowlight, engaged, it should not be difficult to locate the favourite for the Opunake Scurry, the maiden five furlongs event at the TarAnaki Hunt Club's Meeting on Saturday. All, horses in this race will cany eight stone. Merry Way, a three-year-old filly by Arausio from the Absurd mare Merry Jest, a good winner before going to the stud, was' somewhat unlucky not to open her account last season, as she was three times second, once to Tankard in the Nursery Hartdicap at Avondale and' twice at tliie Taranaki Summer Meeting. Reports fr.bni.New Plymouth.state that she has not ]atel/\bgen. doing a great deal of gallop- ■ itfg,"i tut Jttst. week -she Vwas responsiblefor a sriiart-fiyo furlongs in leaving' the. distance behind1 in lmin 7 2-5 sec. on. a,.heavy'track.' V , .Glowliglit, a three-year-old filly:by Silverado from Stately's dam, Limelight, by Solferino, belongs to the same family as Starland (Auckland Cup) and Warstep (New Zealand and Auckland Cup), and it is expected that she will do much better this season than last, when she failed !to fill a place in several starts. She is reported to have muscled- up we.ll lately, and one morning last week was capable of comfortably accounting for Orapai over six furlongs, though naturally with an advantage, in the weights.
