A BIG FIELD

When NoVices'Meet On Saturday

(By "The Toif."v) Fifty pacers of one kind and another have been entered for the Shirley Handicap to be run over a mile and a'-half at New Brighton on Saturday. It is a 3.40 class. AT Methven, Brook Pointer, whioh is trained by C. S-. Donald, ran: a decent race to finish fourth after being m the picture- all the way.' The same stable also has Ulm and Grand Canyon engaged. When Grand Canyon is ready he will win. In the meantime, Brook Pointer is shaping for victory. If form is any guide, Cushla dOr and Jacky Logan should finish m the money. If anything beats them, it ( should be Donald's elect. Further down the card is the Spring Handicap which will suit sprinters that can only go a mile and a-quarter. If Cushla d' Or is herself she should walk m. She has tons of speed and ■her track work is of an outstanding nature. On paper, Cushla 6? Or, Eugene d'Oro and Xrogan Princess should be handy at the finish. < \
