RACES AT.WAVERLEY. The Wavcrlcy Club’s wiutor meeting will be'held to-day. This is a floating event, made possible by tho granting of ono of tho spare tote permits and should be a financial success. AVellington candidates will not be penalised for a win. The first race, tho Trial Slakes, starts at 11.45 a.m.

With Golden Flower, Animated, Iciognc and Bione in this race, J. Fryer, of Hawera, holds a strong hand, especially with the first-named card Nassellc has run one or two good races but another in Fortalice which will have Snowy Alorris aboard, should give the pick of tho Fryer stable most trouble.

Bonogue will have a. big call on the betting on the Wairoa Handicap, while Monaghan and Cool Alint arc a couple of sturdv gallopers that vxill be suited by' the conditions. 'in the Hack Steeples, 2 miles, Gilgai is an improving sort that should go well. Airtight has plenty of weight, but should take a lot of beating. ILuirangt Girl was scratched yesterday morning. There is a nice field for the l’alea County Cup, with Piuthair conceding lOlbs.'to Hipo, which is next on the list. Well handled, however, Anolo and Ivawhakina ought to trouble the best of them. The small Oturi Hack field-will see Warplane, Singer and Some Acre in tho market. ASHBURTON BAUDS.
