As the form shown at Marton on Wednesday is likely to threw considerable, light on the prospects for the fast approaching Egmcnt winter fixture at Hawera. the Marton meeting will be followed with more than usua 1 interest by Taranaki sportsmen.

Sir Romeo, Royston, llawora. Bri.gad.ore, Chaste 5.5. Etiouctte, Yaldcrado, Stadium. Clarion Call 7.12. On performances the Novice Stakes lot have very little to recommend them. Boon has a repi:'tation and would not have to he much good to win here. Mercian Prince. Stadium (Mid Hawora are others that may be prominent. The best may be Boon, Stadium, Mercian Prince.

Orby's Choice, Invictus 9.3, Autumn Dawn 9.0. Proved hurdlers in the Club Handicap include Adventus, Easterly, _ Jayson, High Commissioner and [nvictus. The npnoaraiice of such sood class flat, performers as High Fahitin', Ruanui. :mkl Conse.nl will lend a great deal of interest to this race. Consent has already bad some jumping experience, '."bile if High Falutin' and Ruanui can jump at all they must be very dangerous. It will be a difficult race for backers. but the vote goes to High Falutin', Easterly, Consent. CROFTON HANDICAP, of £125: 1 miles —Arrow Lad 9.1, Chopin S.B. Spearful 8.2. Ju.gu'lo 7.11.

However, the latter is so consistent that he may easily turn the tables in flie Croffon Handicap. Juggle, Habit, and Chock Say tire also recent winners and form run-'"-"s. The lvsl. may be Arrow Lad, Chopin, Habit. MARTON STEEPLECHASE. of P 125; about ''• miles—Cnllamnvt J 0.12 Okopua. Omeo 10.5. Pangolin 10.3. 'jayson 9.12. Hard Gold 9.0. Day Lass, Ruby Meteor 9.0. After bis ininressivo Elb>rslie performanccs Callnmart should have splendid prospects in the Marton Steeplechase. Excepting Omeo, which should run a good race, the rest of the field may not be seasoned as yet. Jayson has made good as a hurdler and is of the type likely to take to the sfoeplecbasing game. Okopua and Pangolin are experienced steeplechasers and both should run well if ready. Most appeal is made by Callamart, Omeo. Okopua. AUTUMN HACK PLATE, of £120; 1 mile and 137yds— Clangor 9.3.

Ida Merling 7.2, Bradinan. Jazz King. Priscilla Yore". Beryl Latour 7.0. The Autumn Hack Plate has drawn a splendid field, including several good Taranaki hacks. Speculation is certain to take a wide range, and well supported runners will be Clangor. Chock Sav King Win, Fairway, Chief Marionette and the Taranaki trio, Attentive Chief Line and Davistock. Form rather suggests Clangor, Attentive, King Win.

Arvada 7.5, Knollmere 7.:!, False Scent, Arena,'Slippery, Leisure 7.0. i The Flying Handicap Held is quite a good class'one, and a number of the ' acceptors appear to have good chancI ps. Arrow Lad should be prominent, '■ if reserved, while Arisus. All Humbug, i Navnho Fanner and Beau Gallante i are all good prospects. The pick may | be Arrow Lad, Arisus, AH Humbug. ELECTRIC HACK HANDICAP, of I £75; 5 fur.— Royal Hunting 9.6, Chief Marionette 8.7, Minstrel Lad, ShpI pery 8.6, Lapstone 8.5, Kins Peg 7.9, i I'm' Alone, Pladie 7.5, Priscilla VYrnc J 7.2, Saltspray. Hunting Lodge, Ringapot'o Moorwyn, Land Tax 7.0. I The prime fancies for the Electric I Hack Handicap will doubtless include i Chief Marionette. Lapstone. Minstrel ! Lad Pladie and Royal Hunting. The ! , allQl . at hi s best is a regular flyer I over shorl sprints, and he is ready to ! show a return to Conn. Chief Manoni hi.> is solid and reliable, while Phallic is known to have a lot of pace. The best may be Royal Hunting, Chief ! Marionette, Lapstone.
