THE WINTER SESSION

GOOD ENTRIES AT HAWERA

(Special from "Limited.")

HAWERA, This Day.

The splendid nominations received for the Egmonfc Racing Club's Winter Meeting arc a good augury for the success of the fixture, which certainly promises to bo the best held by the club for some seasons. The entries show a substantial increase,- and an outstanding feature is the number of horses nominated for the King's Jubilee Cup, no fewer than 43 being listed.

On account of showing slight stiffness Ruri was not taken to Feilding, his owner-trainer J. Fryer preferring to reserve him . for the • local meeting. Ruri worked a couple of rounds on the sand on Thursday morning quite soundly., and he will_ be fancied for the Mcßae Memorial Handicap, in which he was successful last year. Onewhetu ran his usual honest races at Feilding, being in a place each day. This gelding lias had a lot of racing but stands up to his work in good shape. Colossal, who' has had an easy time since racing at Taranaki, resumed track work on Thursday morning, looking bright and well. Carfex has quite recovered from his recent sprain and is galloping in his usual brilliant style. Harvest Moon struck a fence at Feilding on the first day, resulting in a filled
