to-morrow's meetings i■ " ' PHAR LAP AT CAULFIELD. Iqmsie stakes contest. $ • •) CANTERBURY PARK EVENTS. IfIJW ZEALAND HORSES. fhc approach of the important spring' racing carnivals in Sydney and 'Melbourne causes exceptional interest to v t)e taken in the preliminary minor meetings now in propress in Australia, par- - ticulaily in view of the presence of a number oi' notable New Zealand performers. bThere will be races to-morrow at Canterbury Park, Sydney, where many of the Doraicion horSes will probably be seen in action, and at Caulfield, Melbourne. : -where Pliar Lap's second appearance for the season will be the main attraction. - Pliar Lap is to contest the Memsic Stakes, weight-for-age with penalties and allowances, one mile one furlong. Following' are the acceptors: —Pliar Lap, Waterline, Glare, Rondalina, Wise Force, Semitist. Of these tho first five competed in the Underwood Stakes; at Williamstown, won so decisively by Phar Lap on August 25. The champion vras favourite for that race, but paid a considerably better dividend than did foiir of the five favourites who won at the Auckland Trotting Club's meeting last Saturday, and it is certain that his price "to-morrow. will be much smaller. The prize-money of the Memsie Stakes is£Bo},'of which the winner receives £SOO. A victory for Phar Lap will bring his • stake-winnings to £52,512. Several Auckland horses, including the Derby candidate Aromon Ra, figure among the entries for the meeting at Canterbury Park to-morrow, the full list of New Zealanders being as follows:—Hurdle Race, 2 miles 42yds.—'Teri.
