"THE SPORT OF KINGS.”

FIXTURES. May 10 and 11—H.B.J.C. HAWKE’S BAY JOCKEY CLUB. AUTUMN MEETING.

The autumn meeting of the; Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club will com-: mence to-morrow, and from the; number of visiting horses that have arrived and the state of the course, all that is wanted now is fine wea- ; ther to ensure a most successful j gathering. Owners have respond-; ed in a generous manner to the, handicapper s adjustments, a line' total of 86 having been accepted for in seven races, t The ciass of horses engaged in the Hawke* s Bay Cnp >s hard io‘ find fault with, for among them we 1 have Fort William (a Napier Cup' winner). -Merrivonin (Wanganui; Cup and Mmiawatii Cup). Cheddar (Great Autumn Handicap!. Vi< . (Jackson Stakes). Ladv Menschikotf (I-ir’dmg <’up) \<j: winners of the respectW* ram’s; tins season. The sprint event --i he Foran-' gahau Handicap - inis idled with* 14 acceptors and the majority have shown this season that they know i how to gallop 6 furlongs. ! Trams will run from Napier aG convenient intervals, and patrons! can thoroughly rely <> n an <*nj<,-\ able outing. Proceedings will com-! mence with the Longlands Hack Hurdles. W miles. Thirteen horses have made! the final payment and there are! some speedy ones amongst them/ Winchester occupies pride of nla-e' m the handicap and lie has right lv ! earned his position. Golden! Haters running in the Waipnk-f urau Handicap on Easter Mondeo was impres.su e and showed him t<J be in tip-top form. The Rabbit er has been galloping well u f j ate an( | from the easy manner lie won at the Napier Park meeting ,>n the ! second day he gave promi-e of ! turning out useful. I

The Maiden Plate has a number engaged who have yet to make their debut on the racecourse but of those that have raced Merrimac formulate and Mamtou have shown most promise. The Nursery Handicap will b.- a hard race to win. Royal Scotch, who raced tor the first time at the -hristchurch Easter meeting, has quickly won his way to the ton of the tree, and with ail his weiuh'r he will take no end of healing. Bootle Khamsin aud Behai: are a nk-Jv trio to keep the top weight verv busy. The Porangahau Handicap l.a, hiled with 14 acceptors, ami ar the! head is the flying Bobrikoff. It is I hardly to be expected that he wifi I be at his best, for he will be sure I to want a race or two to sharpen! him up. Boanerges is well just i now, and form is the best to fol- ! r *?u n,hy is back to the pace he showed as a two-year-old and will be hard to beat. Lower down the list we find Vibration and Birkline, a pair with I credentials for a race of this kind. ! Ihe Hawkes Bay Gup has drawn! 11 acceptors and a fine lot tliev are too. bort M illiani appears as an' acceptor m the Autumn Handicap { also, and it is more than likely he! will start in that event Merri ! vonia and Te Puia have both been! running consistently and will not I lack anything on the score of cm- ! dition. Cheddah and Vice-Ad-i rairah both with 8.0. will be a hard! pair to dispose of. and appear to l hold those above them in the handicap safe. Bliss will be sure to' make the pace warm, and whether: she will be able to run the distame right out remains to be seen. ; •She has shown she can get to the. end of a mile and a furlong in : really good style. ' !

The Karainu Hurdles has fiiie.i poorly, hut there is rhe material to make an enjoyable race. Ho/intm and \\ hakaweira are Iy_ treated, and the foroit-r met a fair field v> !;<■>, he disposed them easily at Am-klami.

; Twenty one have cried content | with the weights allotted their j charges in the Poukawa Hack ; Handicap of 5 furlongs. Manipai ; is at the head of affairs .but lower , down Soultiform, who has shown i himself to be speedy over this dis--1 tance, seems nicely weighted. Gold i Circle, Merry Lad and Goldfinch ; are sure to get going early in the j race and will take some overhaul- ’ ing -

! The Autumn Handicap will bring : the first day’s racing to a close, and Fort William and Wimmera ’ are a pair that have shown good form of late. Sir Tristram has ; not been out for some time, but i will be sure to run well forward. 1 i HASTINGS TRACK NOTES. ; Before breakfast this morning i Bandalcro was sent out to gallop, 'but owing to the heavy fog the trainer was unable to get the exact ‘ distance, so stopped the fitly.
