TO-DAY'S RACKS AT NORTH SIIOUI2. Tltr. beautiful weather that we have experienced during the past iuw days gives every promise of holding up, and iu that case there should !-e a very large attendance at the Sprine Meeting of the Takapuna Jockey Club, which takes place to-dav. The committee and their indefatigable secretary, Mr. C. C. Dacre, have "left no stone unturned in endeavouring to make the meeting a success, and I have little doubt that the public will to-day second their eilorts iu a substantial manner. The Kerry Company have laid on special steamers, and they will leave Queen-street Wharf every fifteen minutes. There are seven events on the programme set down for decision, vi.'. , Residents' I'late .if •J.'isovs., G furlongs: Hurdle Race of aUs-.iv-. -2 miles; >cU!ers' Kace of •20-s-ivs., iS miles: St. Andrew's Handicap of T.i.-ovs.. H miles : Novel Race of -20sovs., 1 mile : Handicap >teepleehase of oOsovs., f! miles, and Consolation Handicap of lOsovs., 1 mile. Lone Hand is a firm favourite for the Hurdies. and .'> to •_' is taken freely that nc wins. SO to 10 was hooked yesterday atfaiust Chan iler, and -1.) n 10 ;aken that Uicdcr wins the s.ara.- -v, at. For St. Andrews Handicap, Yuba. l',.\[ ha., assumed the p i.-iti in of iiist favourite, but there lo little diiierei-.c-e between him and Dewdrop. The Steeplechase is on all hands voted a very open race. Tiie .-aiue little Harkaway probably carries the most money, but every lior.se in tlie r..oc iias received good support, and t.a-ie is every piospeet of a splendid contest. -IU to S v. as accepted yesterday about r.llcrslie, and this victory will indeed be a. most popular one should Williams score a win for the blue and white spots. The first race will start punctually at 1 p.m., which will be the Residents' Plate, and the victory should go to Mr.ltUN. For the iiniie- Race Lo •t: Ham; is my tip, but if tlie old drey is beaten. Angler will probably h..- the one that will accomplish it. The St. Andrew's Handicap, i think, lies between 'tuba liiil and Dewdrop, and 1 give my vote in favour ot Yrii.v 8i1.1.. The Steeplechase will have a field of seven, the following horses piobably going to the post :—Tricoirin. Harkaway, St. Swithin, Chanticleer, AiiLiler, Ellerslie, and Tempest. Harkaway iieieg withdrawn from the Hurdle Race mak, s the race look a good thing for him, but. 1 think, the decision of the judge will be CIIA-Tlt't.EKK. Mr. Dacre notifies that a scow will leave the reclamation tiiis morning at nine o'clock, to convey competing horses to the aSorth Shore. A steamer will also leave the Railway Wharf at the same hour.
