(By "Avis.") The Marton Jockey Club's spring meeting is to be held to-day. Splendid acceptances have been received, and a good day's sport should result. A special train leaves Palmerston North at 9.10 this morning, returning at 5.25. The first event, which starts at 11.30. will be the Hack Hurdles, for which there is a field of eighteen. Ruddy, who has the top-weight, is sure to ba well supported. Royal Exchange and Sir Rosebery will also carry a lot of money, while The Baronet may run into a place. In the Trial Hack Plate, considerable interest will be centred in the running of Messrs Riddiford Bros.' imported horse Whcatfield (Buckwheat— Amplamina). This three-year-old. »wlth Tinihanga, Believe, and Achillion, may be prominent in the race. The Hack Steeplechase has produced a field of eleven. Of these, Te Toa, Ore Ore, and Golden Glade read as well as anything. Fourteen or fifteen horses, including several N.Z. Cup candidates, Will face the starter in the Marton Handicap. The top-weight (Rouen) will carry a lot of money, but Admiral Codrington and Strategy will take a lot of beating. In the Electric Hack Handicap. Grotesque will be a strong public fancy. Tolerance and Makere may make the pace a cracker. The former will be ridden by C. Emerson. There are eight acceptors for the Rangitikei Steeplechase, in which Tirau and Oakleigh will not be started. Of t,he remainder, First Line and Mattock may receive most support. In the Railway Handicap there is a field of thirteen, including such good performers as Amythas, Malhoa, The Hawk, and Humbug. The probabilities are that Amythas and The Hawk will make a great race of it in the straight. The Tutaenui Hack Welter is the last race of the day. In this event Halycon and Admiration may run prominently. Mr T. Eaves, owner of Volo and Income, is leaving this week on a holiday trip to Sydney. Ho will miss 'the Avondale meeting, where Yolo is to race in the Cup. Sparrowhawk, dam of The Hawk, died last week at the Kinloch stud. Her death is a severe loss to her owner, Mr J. F. Buchanan, as her first

foal, The Hawk, had given her a great advertisement as a brood mare. « PJxcellent acceptances have been received for the Manawatu Hunt Club's meting, to be held at Feilding on September 17th. The Wairarapa Racing Club has restricted its membership to 300. Mr W. E. Bidwill has been re-elected president of the Club. Roy Manson, the well-known jockey, underwent a serious operation in uckland a day or two ago, and is rcprted to be in a critical condition. The following hunters have been rehandicapped for the Rangitikei Hunt Club's meeting, through wins at the Egmont-Wanganui and North Taranaki Hunt meetings:—Hunters' Hurdles. —Temaire (S lbs) 12.1; Silver Paul (6 lbs) 10.6. Rangitikei Hunt Cup.—Onipoto (10 lbs), 12.1. View Hallo Steeplechase.—Onipoto (10 lbs), 11.10; Delage (12 lbs), 10.12. Ladies' Bracelet. —Sunray (10 lbs), 12.13. Mattock won the Marton Steeplechase last year with 9.7 on his back, and was ridden by A. McDonald. Gaekwar ran second on that occasion. At the Springboks-Hawke's Bay and Poverty Bay match on, Saturday, about 2000 names were obtained to a petition protesting against the recommendation of the Racing Commission in connection with the recommendation to cut out the Napier Park Racing Club permit. The petition is being freely signed throughout the district. A yearling colt by Solferino, from Formless, owned by J. McCombc, died of internal troubles on Saturday night. Most of the horses owned by the late Mr W. B. Clarkson will be raced by his partner, Mr J. B. Pearson, Mil November, when they will be submitted to auction. You will be snug on these nippy journeys to the winter meetings with pyjamas and rugs from Alt'. Mahon, the Sports' Mercer.*
