NOTES FROM WELLINGTON

EASTER RIDING ENGAGEMENTS (Special to Daily Times) WELLINGTON. April 11. Patrons of the Westport meeting will have the pleasure of witnessing both L. J. Ellis and W. J. Broughton in action at the week-end. Broughton, who has drawn out from Ellis in the jockeys’ premiership as the result of his successes at Dargavillc and Pahiatua, will leave for the south to-night. He will ride the members of the Corry team, and will also be on Copenna, in addition to riding Cuddle at the Canterbury Jockey Club Easter meeting.

R. Reed will be on the members of A. Macaulay’s team. Reed will be riding at Feilding on Easter Saturday and will be on Severe. Round Up and Gay Boy.

P. Atkins will do the first day of the Wairarapa meeting on Easter Saturday and will then leave for Christchurch. He has been engaged for Cranford in the Great Easter, and will also ride the two-year-old colt Heritage in the Champagne and Challenge Stakes. W. E. Pine will also ride the first day at Tauherenikau and then go on to Riccarton, where be has been engaged for Inflation in the Great Easter, Chief Marionette in the Great Autumn, and also Linguist. T. Webster will go to Auckland at Easter, and has been engaged for Red Manfred and Hunt Monde. R. Marsh is also going to Auckland, and will ride II Duce and Plato.

W. J. Broughton has as yet not definitely settled on his Easter riding, but it is probable that he will be at Feilding. Palm will leave for New Plymouth tomorrow morning and will be ridden in th_e hurdle race there by W. Bowden. A. Jenkins will bo on Colossal and W. Pascoo on Tudor. T. Webster will go through to New Plymouth to ride Diatomous.

B. H. Morris will be at New Plymouth where he will ride Aga Khan, Diagano, Golden Hair, and Friesland. R. Reed was offered the mount on Silver Wings, but he'is not going to the meeting. . , .. , R. Marsh will ride Davistock, Kaola, Refresher, and Amyril. Although the Pahiatua race meeting ranks as of only minor importance on the calendar, it is not unlikely that there wag seen there this week the winning double for Riccarton. At any rate, both Rerepai and Cuddle gave ample proof that they are going to run well in the big C.J.C. events. It is unlikely that Cuddle will be aeked to run in both the Great Easter and the Great Autumn. The present intentions are to reserve her for the mile and a-half on the second day. The Pahiatua Cup may not have been a real test, but Cuddle carried 9.9 and won running away. Rerepai over the Easter distance performed similarly. It was his fii’st race since he ■won. at Trentham last month, and there was nothing in the field that could make him gallop despite his burden of 9.9. , With Haut Monde at Auckland and Heritage at Riccarton the Woodville stable of F. Davis appears to have particularly bright prospects of picking up several of the Easter plums. Haut Monde’s Pahiatua effort was first-class, and Heritage has gone on the fight wa y since he raced so well and unluckily at Awapuni. Davis himself will be going to Auckland, and his son will be at Riccarton with Heritage.
