SATISFACTORY ACCEPTANCES INTEREST IN THE GUINEAS GOOD CONTEST EXPECTED CHANCES OF LA MODERNE Very satisfactory acceptances have been roceived for tho conclusion of tho Avondalo Jockey Club's Spring Meeting to-day and some keen racing should bo witnessed. Tho three-year-old classic, the Avondalo Guineas, promises to be a most interesting contest. Tho race bears an open aspect and the possibility of seeing a iueeting between La Moderne, Tea Trader, Pillow Fight, Greek Gold und others should prove a great attraction. Following are details of the fields, with a review of tlio prospects in each laco by 44 Archer " : 12.10 —GREY LVNN HIGH-WEIGHT HANDICAP, Of £100; 11 miles st. lb. sf- lb.

Roy I*l Visitor and Biform may do slightly better than on the first day, \vhile Claremore, RtilniJS J\.m£ and Marching Song should be equal to running solid races. The favourites may be THESPIS, TARPORLEY, BIFORM. 12.55- NURSERY HANOICAP, Of £125; two-year-olds; 5 fur.

" 7 Enjoyment . . 7 12 Lady Diana . . 7 7 Star Artist . 711 Bonny Joyco . 7 7 After her good third on Saturday Star Artist should take a lot of heating in this field, which is not strong. Dinelli should make a better showing than on the first day. when she did not begin well, and tho likeliest. of the others aro Gold Pocket, Glenronmey and Bonny Joyce. Good support, may be given to STAR ARTIST, DINELLT, GOLD POCKET.

Palace has been working attractively, and L'Allegro's third in tho Champion Hack Plato suggests n chanco for him, even though he has a big weight. There are many other possibilities and some who may receive consideration are Psychologist, Exaggeration, Miss Lorraine. Teels, Lord Aintreo, Foreign 'Money and Lucidus. The main fancies may include. PALACE. LORD AINTREE, LUCIDUS. 2.33—PLUMPTON HANDICAP, Of £250; li miles st. lb. st. lb.

Speedmint. who should bo improved by her race on Saturday. should have a chance, and whichever E. Pope decides to run of her and Royal Artist will have a strong following. Maori Boy and Valroe may be in the picture if the track is heavy, while Protomint and Alloy may be as likely as any of tho others. Some who may be fancied aro ROYAL ARTIST. HUNTING CRY. SPEEDMINT. 3.IB—AVONDALE GUINEAS, Of £500; three-year-olds; colts and geldings 8.10, fillies 6.5; 1 mile st. lb. si. lb.

La Moderne's second on Saturday was a good effort and Pillow Fight also placed himself in the limelight by winning the Chamoion Hack Plate. Tea Trader failed to produce his true form on tho first day, but he should i be all the better for the race and make a 1 better showing to-day. Greek Gold. Gold Trail and Sea Ruler should be equal to creditablo efforts, but Midinetto will require to improve on Saturday's running to eucceed. Good support may be given to LA MODERNE, TEA TRADER.

Tradesman performed well on Saturday and should again race prominently. Huntingdon and High Comedy failed to show any form on the first day. but they may do better in this small field.
