THE C.J.C. MEETING PROSPECTS REVIEWED (Special to the Herald.) OHRISTOTIFRCH, this day. At l.'icearton mi Thursday (lay Crest finished over a length in front of Quarterdeck at the end of seven furlongs in 1..".0 2-5. Gay Crest was going well in the closing stages, and gained additional admirers. Red Heckle cantered round to the half-mile post on the grass and ran home in 4!) 2-oscc, going very freely. He greatly pleased his admirers. He was ridden by K. Coveney, who will handle him in the Great Easter Handicap. The local trainer, G. Murray-Ayns-lev, had three surprises in store for track watchers. Firstly, his Champagne Stakes candidate, Spoon, put up such figures for six furlongs, linin. 15sec, that the other sprinters could not ge within a cooee of them. Netley ran one of the swiftest miles of the morning, 1.43 3-5, and, finally, Kakara established such smart time, L2 3-5, for her five furlongs sprint, that she is entitled, to strong recommendation for Monday's Russlcy Plate, despite the fact that she will be making her initial appearance under silk.

.Arikiwai-ami Toawai broke away together at the mile post on the plough, Taragona joining them after going two furlongs. ' The first live furlongs occupied 1.4. Toawai was then eased up, and Taragona just led Arikiwai home. Arikiwai ran the mile in 1.42 2-."), the last half taking 52 1-5. Arikiwai was going well throughout, and it was a good performance. Gold Mint and Courtlike,took 1.453-5 sec. .to run a mile on the grass, after doing the first half in 51 l-sscc. Tlier* was nothing between them at t!ic finish. Waterlinc started off at the nine furlong post on the plough, and ran home in 1.56 4-5. Strnightcourse accompanied him for the last seven, which occupied 1.30. Watcrlino went in good style, and finished on strongly. He has come through a solid preparation for the Great Autumn Handicap. Straightcourse also shaped well. Leader and The discount were companions over seven furlongs on the plough, which they ran in 1.30, doing the last three in 39scc. The Viscount was half a length in front at the finish, and he looks in great fettle tor early engagements. Starshooter galloped a mile on the grass in 1.44 1-5. He went at an even pace all the way, .and was going on well at the end. * Miss Bradbury was half a length in front of Merry Peel, with Gasnng several lengths away; at the end ol half a mile on the grass, run in 49 3-y.
