P.B. TURF CLUB TO-MORROW'S EVENTS The acceptances for to-morrow's events at the Poverty Bay Turf Club's meeting are very satisfactory, regarded in the light of yesterday's performances. Most, of the fields should be .larger than ihcrio seem out on the first day," and there will be food for interesting .speculation on the part of the public in every field. There are eight acceptors in the Matawhero Handicap, and 1 of these Othon and Jeanette appeal as the likeliest. Othon won a hard race over the mile yesterday, and was going "great guns" at the finish with 9.0 "up, whereas to-mor-row he will have 8.12. The field is bettor in the Malawhoro, and Jeanette is probably the one least likely to find the journey hard, judging by the way she finished yesterday, after bein# disadvantaged' at the start of the 'Flying" Handicap. In the Second Hurdles Oarzon- should again be prominent, and if he can be kept- up with the' leaders he will be hard to dispose of. Good Mark can shift himself on the flat, but jumps erratically, and l he has a good bit more' weight to carry to-morrow. Highway has a lot of weight, but. will probably t>e in the hunt. Left badly yesterday, Cybelc did not have a ehaheo to show what she could do, bub made up a lot of ground in' the maiden field. (liven a good start to-morrow, she may figure in the finish of the Juvenile Stakes. Cool Card will noli be far from the front in the straight. Up to nine furlongs, Princess Ronnie was right in thd picture on the first day, in the Spring Handicap, and Mr. Norgrove's mare should! be better suited ah a- mile, in the Makafaka Handicap to-mororw. Pita cannot be disregarded, for bo is a very fit horse, and ran all oyer 1 hid opposition yesterday. The adjustments of the weights for the six-fitl'long- Maiden] Handicap have' put (fold Streak on a- good: footing, but l Superb King must 'be given a good chance, despite! his rise in the scale. Automne's oarly speed will make him popular for the Waikanaa Handicap, if started in this event. Startle has generally found the local meetings fairly remunerative, mid does not appear to . be overweighted with 7.10. 1 The Wnimata Hack field is likely lo ' be a'gootl one, and with only 41b. more to carry than yesterday (she had Bst j in the saddle), Cold Dot. is certain !o 1 be prominent ; -while it is bard to go ■ past Serenade en yesterday's showing. Polar should get his chance* in the Farewell Handicap, but if the whole of acceptors start, it- .should he a good, even race among the first five iri the j acceptances.
