RACING FIXTURES. July 7, 11, 14—Wellington Racing Club. NOTES. If the weather continues to hold fine, the going should be much better at Trentham to-day, where the tracks are rapidly drying up. Snake met with an accident on Saturday last, and it is reported that it wiil be some time before he will race again. Eight races arc on the card today:—The Corunna Hurdles will open the ball. Crowhurst, Eerie and First Born seem to be a likely trio. The last named has been asked to carry may be sufficient to givo Eerie, with an additional impost of Ist lib for his win on Wednesday, and this may be sufficient to give Eerie, with only nibs., a chance of beating him. Crowhurst has Dannevirkc form to recommend him. and Blue Socks has also shaped well over sticks. Tinohari will carry a share of support in the Maiden Handicap, and i 'arnbee is another. Tn the Jutland Handicap, with 1'" acceptors, Paphian, Passionless and Avispado read well. Master Peter or San Forte should show the way to To Maire in the Second Steeples. Wingatui saw more of the first-named horses' form than did the racegoers at Trentham last week-end. The big event, the Parliamentary Handicap, has 14 acceptors of a very even class. Guncasc makes a first appearance, but is an unlikely starter Surveyor and Urgency should show up prominently at the business end Doleful Ditty will doubtless try to get evens to-day. Alaric is also in the Fleet Handicap. The New Zealand Trotting Conference opened at Wellington yesterday and the Racing Conference will hold its annual meeting there to-morrow. Collinghamc suits in 53 sizes assure of a fit for von any time you drop into Collinson and Cunninghamc's men's department. Priced from 00/ to Bgns, only best makes sold.*
