TROTTING

TO-DAY'S GATHERING AT HUTT PARK. The annual meeting of the Wellington Trotting Club will be held at Hutt Park to-day. The train service is advertised m this issue. There will be good fields m all the events, and though the light harness sport is not so, popular here as m the south, the club is sure to be rewarded with a record attendance. :.. The Hutt • Park Trial Handicap is generally- responsible;, for a surprise, but to-day two engaged In Megala and •Ararawa are reputed to be smart and they will most likely carry the money. Fireman should win the Borough Handicap. He was second last year and if he goes away cleanly he will take a lot of beating. It only needs the limit crowd to move offln a line and the back markers will never get through. . . In the unhoppled trotters* race, the Petorie: Handicap, Grace Grattan and Grattan Chimes should have the most to say at the finish. .= . ■ . The New' Zealand Gold Trotting.Cup looks : like being a, good race. The Bryce bracket, Ahuriri and Pakoti, will monopolise the market and just about take the money. They will strike most trouble from Vera Logan and Locanda MacIf Holly Boy does not atart m the. Wellington -Trot tho public will be faced with a- beauty to pick. -They are all on the front mark, with the . exception* of King Holly, who may be tho winner; . ; , . : , ,■:.-■ . : .

i Seeing / that ; she was ■ a winner at last : year's meeting, Pearl . Coronado will carry' a lot; of money m the Stewards' Handicap. Anything: with a clear run can win 'this race.

Tim : W6od r who won on the Coast the other . 'day, 1 - is» m the President's Handicap, and he, has a reputation. Lady Esma will go well and if Le Todd was to; show his three-year-old, form he would have an easy job. • : . : -

The tavorlte for the Electric Handicap will depend on how those also engaged In the Cup perform. Which ever of the pair Bryce starts will sure to be well fancied. • Copa de Oro can scoot, but- he is a bad customer to get away. "
