TAKAPUNA FIELDS

AN EXCELLENT CARD

(Special from "Early pird,")

AUCKLAND, This Day,

With intermittent rain during the j past day or two, the going at Ellerslie tomorrow should have the sting out Qt iifgnd this' will'"be appreciated by the majority of the horses engaged at the !Takapuna Jockey C}ub's Meeting to- ' liujrrow and on Monday, although it ; wili take p lot more rain to seriously affect the ground. Fields for .opening day are, first cjass, with a dozen acr ceptors in the Takapuna Cup and the iZeaJandia IJandipap. There are 17 twpryear-olds in the Calliope Handipap and 21 'in,the Trial, but there will not be a division in the latter event. Betting will be under the win.-anttT place system, and, as jt is Auckland s Anniversary Day tomorrow, a'l? 1? crowd" should be in' attendance. " The easing of trjapk. conditions will suit all the .Horses engaged in the Takapuna "Cup," which has drawn a very fine lot." Jonathan, who shares topweight with Royal Appellant, ran suite "a" good race in the Clifford Plate, finishing with a glimpse of his former dash. Rpyal Appellant defeated all but Round up over ten furlongs on the final day at Auckland, and a soft track "will enhance his prospects. Kpifiht of Australia has raped fairly consistently tftis seaspn gnd he has been unlucky too, so he will have to be seriously considered, for he may go close to repeating his victory of last year. Dark ghadow two month? ago won both handicaps at this cjub's fixture, but b\e has not auite performed up to that standard jn the interim. Gay Rose; won thg Rapjpg Club handicap, on Jjew Year's Day and King Key, who jnight have been a shade unlucky at AWaPuni and Marton, is now at a nice position in the handicap to puil off M good stake. Grateful revealed gpod.fqrm Thames, thug being a" possibility, and Inver represents the jmprpving handicap diyisipn. jt woujd npt occar sion surprise to find tying Re? »£w" ipg them up \g the judge, ' . The bes.t rgprinters the province can produce ore engage^ in the Zealanaia Handicap, with" that brilliant galloper Strettd at the head of the weights, gnd if she strikes a firm track she wll give a splendid account of herself. Trij une raced fairly welj at Trentham and Tray Bit was a winner a month ago at headquarters.. TriJJiarch was second at a' mile on the 6ame day, and Tosh and Palustre won among the Second graders at Thames. Mane s Acre will apprepiate the easier conditions, and if tie gets away smartly he Will take heading off, Suleiman ran two .fourths at Mergjte, and will have to pj cqnsjdered. Rollickjer has been left iji in preference to Royal Bachelor, and aJthough this" is Rollicker's debut in 'open company, he is a good sort capable of winning; Bachelor King and" Aniori complete a brilliant field, It is hard to decjare between Mane's Acre and RpJLlicHer.
