NEW PLYMOUTH RACES

SECOND DAY ACCEPTORS REVIEW OF THE FIELDS (By “Palfrey”) The Taranaki Jockey Club has again been favoured 'with splendid acceptances and should the weather prove favourable to-morrow a day of great racing' should eventuate. The clash of great sprinters like Lady Quex, Hunting Cry, Silvcrmine, Paganelli, Ceremony, 'Gesture, and Ammon Ea in the Taranaki Stakes is sufficient in itself to draw all.sportsmen to the course. OKO’KE HURDLES HANDICAP. Of £l6O. 1 \ .rules ancl 100 yards.

Democratic 10 10 Omeo . . 5 Royal Acre 10 10 Goblin Market 9 6 Tenacre 10 8 Denier 9 9 Full Mark 10 8 On yesterday's form Lenacre must; again be dangerous in the Okoke Hurdles. Full Mark is consistent and can be relied on to make matters interesting, but most danger may come from Goblin Market, tv ho can both gallop and jump if caught in the right mood. MOKAU HACK HANDICAP. Of £l6O. One mile and 110 yards, j Statuary 811 Potoleer - 7 0 ; Joyspear 8 5 Corwen 7 0 Monalof 8 4 Gasnapper 7 0 Rich Harvest 712 Little Doubt 7 0 Banbridge 7 7 A nice even lot o± hacks is engaged in the Mokau Handicap. iMonalof registered a solid performance yesterlay when she led all the way and Bandbridge, too, raced well in the same event, but the limited sized field will ( oe a point in favour of Statuary, who I will possibly prove most dangerous of all. STEWARDS’ HANDICAP. Of £225. Six furlongs. Consent 9 0 Gold Dawn 7 7 Bayacre 8 13 Tenterden 7 5 Ridgemount 8 4 Malayan 7 3 Melissa , 7 9 _ Bayacrc and Consent both, went line races vesterday against such brilliant gallopers as Lady Quex and Hunting ; Cry, and it looks like their being hard i to dispose of in the Stewards’ ITandij cap to-morrow. Consent may beat Bavi acre on this occasion. | SEVENTEENTH TARANAKI STAKES Of £sof). Six furlongs. Hunting Cry 9 5 Ceremony 9 0 Paganelli 9 5 Merry Cry 8 7 Lady Quex 9 4 Gesture 8 4 Silver mine / 9 3 Ammon Ra 7 10 PAUL MEMORIAL HANDICAP Of £325. One mile and a-quarter. Concentrate 9 0 Paitonu 7 9 Vertigern 813 ltoya/1 Parade 7 7 In the Shade 810 Cashier 7 6 High Falutin’ 8 4 The Hawk 7 4 Silvermine 8 4 Chopin < * Llandudno 8 3 Calamine 7 0 First Acre 7 12 Kawhakma l 0 The Paul Memorial has drawn a splendid field. Vertigern is at the top of his form just now, and as the distance is in his favour, he is sure to go well again. High Falutin’ and First Acre are two that must be considered, while Cashier and Chopin need only reproduce Egmont form to be very dangerous. Possibly' Vertigern, Cashier and First Acre will do best. PARI TUTU JUVENILE HANDICAP. Of £l5O. Five furlongs. Tenterden 912 Peter Jackson 7 2 Paratoo 9 11 Paparua 7 0 Eastertime 9 2 Ilinepuni t 0 Impetuous 7 5 , Eastertime was narrowly defeated yesterday and may improve on the form in the Paritutu Juvenile tomorrow. Tenterden has recently raced well against superior class and may give most trouble to the Taranaki youngster.

URENUL HIGHWEiTGHT HANDICAP

Of £175. Seven furlongs. Chief Link 9 6 Tentcall 8 0 Richfield 9 4 Green Linnet 8 0 Melissa 9 2 Monsogne 8 0 Paiko 8 6Ca llapat 8 0 Belle Star 8 4 Melissa meets Chief (Link on six pounds better terms for the first day’s defeat, and at the scale of weights should reverse positions in the Urcnui High-weight. Tentcall is well just now, and may go well under the minimum weight. OMATA HACK HANDICAP. Of £l5O. Six furlongs. Orapai 911 Orby's Choice 7 2 Paratoo 9 5 Cereal 7 2 Arikira 9 3 Goldzone 7 0 Tea Queen 8 10 Abbey 7 0 Roval Finance 8 2 Anbridge 7 0 Chief Savage 7 S Mislaid 7 0 Bon Eve 7 6 Traced 7 0 Singer 7 6 Makira 7 0 Potoleer 7 3 True Lap 7 0 Moatoa 7 2 Garrick 7 0

Some smart hacks will contest the Omata Handicap. Orapai won like a good one at Egmont and Paratoo lias shown fair form against better class. Tea Queen won nicely yesterday, but Royal Finance may show most improvement, and if ridden by FT. Gray will bo dangerous. To reduce the number Paratoo and Gray's mount (Orapai or Roval Finance) are nominated.
