TIPS BY "FETLOCK." The popular Town BDd Suburban Rac- • .ing Club have, bs nsnal, choeen to oelebruto the anniversary of Her Majesty's birthday by ho'dlrg a race meeting thereon. At the 'inic of writing 16 lookß as though tbe club were going to ba favored with Qaeen's weather, and If this be so racegoers should have no cause for oomplalnt, as the fields for each race are larce and the qnality of the competing animals is abovo the average. The handicapper has Bncceededso wellin his nd'uHt.meuti that I am nob very coi lident ol my jtipsbeiDg enccesaful. M"u>y speculators bave expressed their intention of following the Hon. J D. Ormond's horses in each raoe for which they otart, and id certainly seems rb thongh the supporters of theKaramn woald have a good day, and tho Merganser stable alao hold a strong hind, and Zinella is whispered abont ma" oerfcainty " for the big money, -while Archeress ia reckoned " good goods '* for ihe two short distance hack events. The course is in car ital order for this time of the year, thn slight slope In it causing the water to run off very quickly, bo that heavy rains affect it- leastban tbe majority of our Hawke'a Bay racecourses. The ,4 20 p.m. train for the country districts has been postponed to leave Napler nt 6.15 bo that conntry visitors will bave ample time tn witnesa the racing and then reach their homes the same day.
