(By "Carbine.") : .Jlanawatu Hunt meeting, ie being held to-day. . ...,,. ■Otaki' and "Wanganui handicaps are due on Friday. In "the Feilding Hunt Htirdleß. at Awapuni to-day the field as not overstrong and there may-,be support foi Tornea and JVfirain-ar. , ', . " , v. 'ln the Manawatu Hunt Oup Royal Park; Gaekwar and •Kuropai are sure tb;be in demand. . r : There will be a big field in the Te Matai- Hardies, which is a race that may give' backers a "little trouble. Otauru. Kid, - Diamond Nap,. and Pawe-"> rewore have some form to recominenfl them. ... The .Waikahao Handicap has drawn some fair performers and. one :of -the things of chief interest will be the running of the promising three-year-old Grasoag. The son ■of Demosthenes may not win, but for all that he will be carefully watched because of events ahead.

For the Fitzherbert Haok Handicap Miss Land, Sea Foam and WaraweW may cai-xy. most of the support.* '.".:: ■'•;■. ■', ' '-- : . If Prodigal is set for the >. Maiden favouritism ought, to' go that way. . Mr V. Shannon, of ■• Wellington, will judge'..the events af the, conuig Masterton meeting. ■• The' southern trainer, J. Pearson, has been looking round this island for a likely hurdler. Another club'has put its stakes up, the South Canterbury having increased the-amount for the spring meeting by dSoCO." ■ • Bitholia had been showing good track form before the Maxton meeting, but with the colours up. shaped so badly that he will not h© a runner at Awupuni to-day. A prominent horseman intended to aeroplane - from Auckland to the New •Plymouth' Hunt .meeting,- but owing, to a hitch 'in the deal he'abandoned the idea; . ■.'.'..•..

..The withdrawals of Right and Left, Sasahof, Cashmere, Delight and Starland from the New Zealand Cup leave the. Messrs Stead unrepresented in the race..

"A half-brother to Warlike' is to,race as - Merry ; D ay.- He is owned by Mr A. ; E. , Booth, of Carterton, and is by Merry Moment—Labour Day. Nightraider, Sir- George Clifford's only representative in' the New Zealand Cup, 'isnow -in'work again.' He is in good 'trim to. begin Jiis_ New Zea land: Cup ■ preparation, and is one of the early fancies for the big two-mile event.

Amythas wound up a seven furlong gallop/at Riccarton the other day in jtnianner---which did not "please .the. touts. )v; He~" is said to have finished without' showing his usual brilliancy.

'Southerners have a strong leaning toward Royal Star; for the-New Zealand Cup. He may be raced at Ashburton and it; will be interesting to see how he shapes. He is one of the Martian bred, a'breed that has- iad phenomenal success in the Cup. A former owner of Royal Star won the Cup a few years ago and when -Royal Star came into his nands he looked on him, judging him by a comparison with the Cup winner, as .almost sure to ■witf-the •race for him. Durine the however, he parted with Royal Star, hut the son of Martian—Lady Victoria will soon he in the boom if he goes on the right way in training. AVONDALE «J C.
