THE TAKAPUNA MEETING. There seems every prospect of a capital afternoon's racing at Takapuna on Saturday next, when the T.J.C. will inaugurate their summer meeting. ( The programme to bo gone through consists of eight events, the principal one of which is the Takapuna Cup, in which a dozen horses are expected to go to the post. The issue is regarded as pretty open, but the Southern-owned gelding Djin-Djin is the one hold in most favour, and coupled with Kanaka for the Steeplechase It to 1 is the best price obtainable. Kanaka was brought up to Auckland yesterday by the s.s. Gnirloch, for the purpose of fulfilling his engagements at the Takapuna meeting.

The first race on Saturday is timed to start at one p.m.
