On present appearances it looks as if the extra race meeting to be put on by tli' l Auckland Racing Club for (lie Prince of Wales's visit on Monday, April 19th, may interfere with the entries for the Manawatu Racing Club's Gold Cup meeting, to be held on the ■ Wednesday and Thursday following. Auckland horses 'usually nominate pretty freely at the Manawatu meeting, and there is also a danger that owners who have horses competing at the Auckland Easter meeting may be tempted to remain over tor the extra meeting, which is only a fortnight later. Auckland nominations for botli the Easter and extra meeting (dose on Friday next, and for Manawatu ;i weed; later.' The results of the first day evenfs at the Thames were not wired to us. Dribble and Oaziquc were in pretty hot, order in Pahnerston on Saturday. As usual one in, one out, was the verdict. Warlike, who won the Peninsula Cup at Akaroa on Saturday, has been a paying proposition since he went south. There will be racing at Blenheim tomorrow and Thursday. Fl looks as if flic meeting will be a second edition of Nelson, as most- of the horses engaged are identical. Saturday next, will see the opening day of the popular Dannevirlcc meeting. The course is in excellent order, '

and as the acceptances are good some line racing should be witnessed. The Canterbury Joekej Club are putting on ;i £SOOO programme for the Prince of Wales meeting. Mascot broke down during the running of the Wanganui Cup, and has been sent to Mr Currie's stud farm, where she will be mated with Absurd, whose next season's book is full at 100 guineas per mare. Master Moutoa and Fisher are under orders to proceed to Australia, where they will be raced in hurdle events this winter. W. H. Bowden. the Otaki jockey, will do the riding. The final meeting of the Goldfields circuit will be held at Paeroa on Saturday next and the Wednesday following, when the Ohinemuri Kacing Club will hold their meeting. It now transpires that the price asked for Spanner was £2OOO, at which price the prospective buyer shied off. He was evidently a wise man, as the highly priced son of The Nut is still looking for a win. i WINNING OWNERS. Following is a list of the amounts won at the recent Napier Park meeting bv the various owners: —Mrs M. A. Perry £73"). W. Richmond £325, F. J. Eysnar £205, H. R. Peacock £290, J. Gravestock £2OO, C.

Goodbchere), Feilding, on Friday. March 12, at 5.30 p.m. . - The weather at this time of the year is inclined to be showery, and a light rain coat is a handy garment to have when going to the meetings. Alf Mahon, the sporting mercer, has just opened up a tine line of rain coats and goods suitable for men 's wear. Call early and take your pick. '
