The Takapuna Jockey Club's ?priiu. Meeting will be held on the 25th and 28th inst. Exceptionally large fields are engaged, and given fine weather the gathering should be a success. In the Alison Cup Income figures at the head of the list with the steadier of 9 9 Royal Present 9.3 reads better, and if he goes to the post is sure to be the popular selection. Gold Kip has shewn imm-oVt-d form lately and is nicely placed with 8 3 Boomerday and Archie on the 7.8 mark are a likely pair. Boomerday is coming back to his best form and is sure to run well. A monothe light weight division Stork 7.4. Luciiis 7.4, and Geoffrey 7.2 appear the best. Stork ran second in the event last year with lib more in the saddle. A good field of sprinters is engaged in Ihe Cheltenham Handicap. Golden Bubble 3.7 and Prince Abbey 8-4 are a pair of good beginners that should go well on ihe suburban course. Fingoland 6.13 will have plenf.v of friends. I lie relative to Tiesert Gold has been galloping well on the track but so far this season has failed to pick up a stake. Illumination should be at his host, at 1 ukapuiis, devon furlong events appear to suit the son of f.inn-light best.

Refinement ran a good rare jn the Guineas at Ellerslie, finishing in fourth place. _ She may do better at Takapuna. Hyginas reads well in the Tiri Hurdles with 10.3. Last year he ran second in the event carrying. 12.2. Wharepoa will keep the rest busy in a mile and a half hurdle race. Marqoni is engaged in the hurdle events. The aged son of .Soult has been shaping well in his work. With 9.12 in the saddle Queen March would not have much difficulty in silencing the opposition in the Cambria Handicap, though she is not considered a likely starter in tlie event. Orofino is a very smart beginner, which usually counts for a good deal on the Takapuna course. Sheffield ran second each day at Ellerslie. He may do a bit better at Takapuna. The imported filly Dancing Doll has ueen shaping well on the track, but so far has failed to pick up a stake. Her turn may come soon. Royal Present is having a short spell owing to a slight injury to his mouth through getting caught in the tapes on the second day at Ellerslie. Gold Jacket was a bit unlucky when he finished a ncclc behind Geoffrey and Illumination at Ellerslie, and should not be long in picking up a stake. Poanui has come on a lot lately, and will have to \~tfi reckoned with in hurdle events ahead. Miss Melva has improved with the racing she had at Ellerslie. and. may not be long in picking up a stake over hurdles. Irish Jig is exoected to show- up in a minor event shortly. Tireless is shaping very well in her work. She is now a member of Air P. Johnson’s team. Golden Bubble is striding along nicely on the (rack. The big son of Absurd is coming down in the weights. The imported sire Day Comet has come into the limelight lately by. the victories of three of his representatives Matinee, White Comet, and Master O’Rorke, the latter has registered three successive wins.
