The course and grounds are ;..s their best, and unless there is rain tin going should bo excellent, so that some fast times may bo recorded.

Town Beauty should bo assisted by his good jumping and solid condition will help Patutahi. who is probably better than for some time past. Slump, Sub-Editor. Trowbridge and Cargen are all likely to make showings and Prince of Orange ehculd not be disgraced even though it will be his first race over hurdles. There may be good support for SUB-EDITOR. TOWN BEAUTY, PATUTAHI. / 12.47 —GREAT NORTHERN CUINEAS, Of £750; three-year-olds, colts and geldings 8.10, fillies 8.5; 1 mile st. lb st. lb.

Midinette and Tea Trader should both do better than at Avondale, and tho be.st of the others should be Jonathan and Greek Gold. The main fancies may include PILLOW FIGHT, MIDINETTE, TEA TRADER. I.32—SHORTS HANDICAP, Of £3OO ; 6 fur. st. lb. st. lb. Tradesman . 9 5 Royal Bengal . 7 7 / Golden Wings /9 0 Persham ... 7 0 Huntingdon . 8 9 Exaggeration . 7 0 High Comedy 712 Tetrarchate . 7 0 Gold Day . 7 9 * Tradesman is at the top of his form and should make a bold showing, although at / the weights he will be seriously troubled to heat good sprinters like Golden and Huntingdon, who are just about to strike form again. Higli Comedy should beat most of those below /him if he runs up to his best form, but he generally goes hetter after a race. Gold Day. Royal Bengal and Pereham are all possibilities, and Exnggertion may not be disgraced at her first attempt in open company. The favourites may be HUNTINGDON, GOLDEN WINGS, HIGH COMEDY. 2.22—MITCHELSON CUP, Of £GSO; 1£ miles st. lb. st. lb. Antique . . .

This race is very open. View Halloo is n good galloper and the only doubt where he is concerned is whether he will stay.
