Indifferent handling appeared to cost Ben Adam a win on ,the first day at Addington. The Auckland Trotting Club will distribute £13,850 in stakes at its spring meetlug. Forewarned gave a good display in the Trotters’ Free-for-All at Easter and will not be neglected in her race to-day. W. R. Butt, the leading trainer of last season, 'started 10 horses on the first day at Addington, and the best form was shown by Gamble King, who - finished fourth in the Islington Handicap. The weather in Christchurch has been bad throughout the week, and yesterday rain was falling again. The heavy going may favour Minmi Boy, Tenpennybit and Lou Hall. Reassessments '
