GOOD FIELDS AGAIN CARDED KAWHIA STEEPLES CONTEST REVIEW OF THE FIELDSThe Te Kuiti Racing Club's annual meeting will bo concluded at Te Rapa to-day, when the chief races will be the Kawhia Steeplechase ami the Waitomo Handicap. Tho fields are again good and another interesting day's racing should eventuate. The track will again be easy. Following are details of the fields, with a review of the prospects in each race by "Archer": — 11.45—MANIAPOTO HACK STEEPLECHASE, Of i '.'25; 2 miles st. lb. st. lb. Valpeen .... 10 7 Haakon ... 9 4 Mangu King . 10 0 Royal England 9 3 Luminary ... 913 Kuby Meteor . 9 3 Tudor ..... 930 Wilton .... o x Valpai .... 9 9 Silver Division 9 1 Solanio .... 9 8 Searcher ... 9 0 Zane Grey ..98 On Approval . 9 0 St. Ames ... 9 8 Valpeen ran a good third over hurdles on Saturday, and he is an improving steeplechaser who must be dangerous if started. Mangu King should be capable of a good effort. Luminary haß been shaping fairly well in his schooling, but a better prospect may bo Tudor, a young horso, who has revealed good form among tho hack hurdler". Solanio is likely to be troublesome if Itdoes a3 well as he did in tho open class on Saturday, while Wilton and Valpai are distinct possibilities. Haakon is most promising, but ho was sore after working ori Saturday, and there may be a doubt about him, although if he Eoes to the post all right ho should take a lot of beating. There are several others with chances, but the favourites may be TUDOR, SOLANIO. VALPEEN. 12.30 —HANGATI Kl HACK HANDICAP, Of £IOO and sweepstakes of £2 each; 6 fur. st. lb. st. lb. Alpinus .... 8 9 Winrama ... 7 2 Princess Star 8 8 Poi Dance ..72 Black Songster 8 5 Pelagia ... 7 1 Grand Sport .

Form on the first day suggests excellent chances for Adalene. Ballymoney and Gay Rose, and they should all bo equal to making forward showings. Alpinus should give a good account of himself, while Princess Star, Solomon, Black Songster and Great Sport all have speed enough to be troublesome. Royal Gallant is a likely improver, and Engi won so well in tho novice class on Saturday that he will not be overlooked. Others who may add interest to the contest are Poi I>ance, Gipsy Moth, Bellkyrian and Anagram. Some who may be well supported are BALLYMONEY, ROYAL GALLANT. ADALENE. 1.15 PIOPIO HURDLES, Of £150; If miles et. lb. ' st. lb.

On© of his most formidable opponents may bo the newcomer' Val Watch, who will be having her fust rim Since -establishing a course record at Ellerslie 'at "Eaater. Mia Stella m . another likely to be very troublesome he hastaken no'harm from his fall on Saturday• 'Count Lendroff should go well, > and solid efforts may also bo expected from the topweights Make Up and Cruachan. Prince of Oranec is a possibility, and • likely liti—iprovers are Delrain and Werata, Tho main fancies may include j VAL WATCH, - " cARCfEN. ■ COUNT LENDROFF. 2,0 —WAITOMO HANDICAP, Of £l7O, including trophy valued at £2O; 1 mile at. lb. et. lb.

C.11,. 7 o The topweight Hunting Cry failed to show up on Saturday, and may need a little more racing. Puss Moth is not to fulfil hiß engagement. King's Archer is a capable miler and so is Imamint, who will only requiro to reproduce her Easter Handicap running to make it very difficult for the others Royal Artist does not appeal m soft goin". but Protomint, Prince Val. Solarium, L'Allegro and Limcx are some who may oU, •run good races. Popular fancies may 0 imamint. L'ALLEGRO. PROTOMINT. 2.4S—KAWHIA STEEPLECHASE, Of £200; 2 miles et. lb. et, lb.

Some improvement from Lucess is not unlikely, while Speakeasy and Copey should both be eaual to solid performances if they have not been affected Ly their mishaps on the first Spripiko » likely to prove dangerous, and Wiltshire may be best of the others, although St. Warrigal and Town Beauty are both possibilities at..the distance. Some who may find favour are LUOESS, VALPEEN, SPALPIKO. 3,30—MA1 ROA HANDICAP, Of £125; 6 fur. st. lb. . et. lb. r.rerk Gold ..88 Exaggeration . 7 9 Briti.

British Columbia's fourth on Saturday eug gests a good chance for him. L'Allegro and Exaggeration are a likely pair and Lord Val mav be capable of showing slight improveSent Arch Ruler and Limex are also possibilities with their light weights. Ihe popular fancies may include GREEK GOLD, BRITISH COLUMBIA, EXAGGERATION. 4. IS _FAREWELL HACK HANDICAP, Of £100; 1 mile et. lb. et. lb.
