THE SPORTING WORLD

RACING AND TROTTING MEETINGS TO COME.

TROTTING_FIXTURES February 6, 7—Wellington. February 14—Canterbury Park. February 14, 18—Auckland. February 21—New Brighton. February 21—Marlborough. February 28 —Kaikoura. Greymouth T.C.: At a meeting of the Greymouth Trotting Club Committee yesterday, the programme committee was instructed to prepare a programme, with stakes totalling the same as for the corresponding meeting last year, for the meeting to be held on Saturday, March 21. In Two Divisions: In the telegraphed fields for the divisions in the Trial Plate and the Camp Handicap to be decided at Trentham to-mor-row, there have.been two errors. Flying Hawk appears in the two divisions of the Trial Plate, and Dolly Greene appears in the two divisions oi the other race. As Dolly Greene's bracket-mate, Gemara appears only in the first division, it is probable that Doily Greene will run in the second division.

WELLINGTON RACES. FIELDS FOR~TO-MORROW. [special to “star.”] WELLINGTON, January 23. Big lields will again be in evidence at Trentham to-morrow, and provision has had to be made to run two races in divisions, but in the case of the Trial Plate, in which the number carded is only two above the limit, and includes several horses with another engagement, this arrangement will probably not be necessary. The weather has been fine since Sunday, and the going should be much faster than on the first day. Under win and place betting the following horses will probably be well supported:— Munqaroa H icjh - weight: Master Lackham, Gold Card, Lunaria. Trial Plate: Good Scout, Prince Shad. Sally Lunn.
