December s—Waikato Trotting Club, NOTES BY I'TCADOR. The Auckland Trot!in;: Club will inaugurate the spasm sit. Alexandra- Park next Saturday, and mattes* shove well for tlio Epsom ground tilniiahing a sencs of most interest!!!conic-Is. The Te Aroha Trotting Club -will hold 'its annual race meeting on tho -Hst instant. Ail alteration lias bettn mmhj in 'he order of the events!. The Jti'..ii-:aka Handicap, which figured «* the sixth race on the programme- has been nuuie the fifth, and the V-aihou wilt bo tho sixth, race. dominations lor all events close on Monday next. Owing to the overnight rayi the dirt training track at Alexandra. Park was not available yesterday morning, A number of horses were jogged or cantered in the middle of the course, including Glandoro, Dcau Dillon arid Hypo. One of the first of the visiting horses_ to arrive was Cora Tacks, who was out jogging in the middle of the course yesterday. She looks in -good order. Cora Tacks is a four-year-okl mare by Van Coronado and is engaged in the slow class pacers' events. Last sea-son she won the Clive Handicap at Hastings in 3m 425. and the Clarevillo Handicat) at Wairarapa, She ran unplaced at the recent Wellington meeting. Nelson Fame, Why Worry and Daphne Wildwood were expected to reach Auckland yesterday evening. This trio hail from, Palmcrston North and are all well-known performers. Why Worry was a winner at the recent Wellington meeting. ' There are good reports concerning Young Carbine and his arrival at headquarters is being awaited with interest. Young Carbine is a five-year-old gelding by El Carbine from Bonny Jenny, and was unplaced in his only two starts last season. lie is trained at. Addington by W. Warren, who also has Countryman engaged at tho Auckland meeting. Florrie Bingen has been doing nicely ami is bound to be well supported in her engagements at the coming meeting. The daughter of Nelson Bingen is in great heart and should make matters merry lor her opponents in the October Handicap in which she figures on the limit.

Hypo has boon Retting through some serviceable toil without doing a great amount of really fast work, and a mile may suit, him better than two miles on Saturday. This horse has been performing very consistently and seems likely. to further extend his record during the spring. On his form at. the fleet meeting in August Hypo is nicely handicapped at the coming meeting. Since being taken over by W, Kelsey Dean Dillon has trained on well and is nieel.v conditioned to tackle his engagements nt the coming meeting. At the fleet meeting in August Dean Dillon finished third in Goldman and Hypo in the Admiral's Handicap A slight improvement on that effort should make him hard to beat in the Spring II;i ndicap. The conn try-trained ti'olter. Fioraline, should go well in trio rrnhopoled events if he has made any improvement, since last season. when he trotted well on several occasions at Alexandra Park. When ho finished third to Napland and The Tartar al the Auckland Summer Meeting he went, a mile and a-half in :tm 80s.

Willie T»otran is a brilliant miler and should make his presence* felt- ivt the sprint : at tit' l com: rig meeting. At the Canterbury Park winter nipotirur last .Tuna ho accounted for the An Revoir .Handicap (1 mile), /rori) a 2.1:! mark, in easy fashion. This form jnnkcs ltim read nicely placed in llic October Handicap on a 2.15 mark. There is an array of speedy miters engaped in the October Handicap arid that even! should take some winning. One that has often performed well in. mil" events at Auckland ficures on the limit. This is Sal T'oir.tcr. who was close ni> fourth in the An Revoir Handicap at the Fleet meeting. The form shown by Kolmar in winning two events at FlasHnsrs last May pis-mped him as a young trotter of good promise. These were his only two starts last season and a number of pood judges were favourably impressed with his performances. Ko!mar is the backrnarker in the Waiternata. Trot Handicap but he should be in the firing line at the finish. Imprint has three successive victories to his credit arid he may be Quite equal to continuing the sequence on Saturday. It is often difficult- to judge the capabilities of a young horse that is improving as he is, but. it is usually a good plan to follow them. Imprint will encounter the strongest field ho has yet. met in the Spring Handicap.

We were led in expect much of Marble Star when he came from Australia, hut so far liUlo has been seen of him. Marble Star is a. nice type of horse and should be worth keeping in mind this season. Hughie Wallace registered a neat performance whjn ho annexed the Fleet Handicap at Alexandra Park in August, and left the impression that ho would reach better company. Being a country-trained one we are unaware of what prepress he has made since then, but we'll look to him to perform well at the coming meeting. The Waikafo trainer, R. A. McMillan, has a very useful pair in Oakhampton and Golden Hope, and ljoili are likely to reach (he winriirig list at an early date if their condition _is nsht. Oakbampton showed winning form over two miles last season, while Golden Hope would only have to perform smtdarly io what ho did when he finished third-to Ilium CJ raff an and Nelson .■■ir.-fonnaek in ihe Fareweli Handicap at tis« Olahuhu Summer Meet in k he verv dangerous m the Electric Handicap. Ihe X* ree-for-All to he decided ;;t the Oreyim.nth _ meeljn;r_ next week has drawn '» field of em hi. rich-class pacers, representing five stables :—A ■■r- ■ n and f i i'eij.l I>ii ir,A n (trained by J) Withersi. Oreaf JTope and Timrekctreka (■'. Bryc«i, Vilo fE. ,1. Smith) I.opan Chief (J. J. Kenr.erley). Realm (w! J. Tomkinsoii), and Onyx (J. Messcrvey).
