ANTICIPATIONS TOR WELLINGTON. (By "Moduroa.") The winter meeting of the Wellington Racing Club commences to-<la,v, and will be cowludod on Saturday. Judging by the acceptances received, Mr Joe Chadwick's adjustments appear to have given sa'tistaction. The winners look w/eU concealed, and tie racing should tie interesting. Th* club is running tin- double eveiit tote, tho coupled races being the Wellington Steeplechase arid Pa'rliamcjitary Handicap, the third and fourth events on the programme. The Stewards' Handicap, six fur* longs, is the fir-sit event on Jo-Hoy'a card, for which a. baker's dozen have been accepted. Matuku, "Wet Reef, Tessera, and Ton'derghie should be handy at the finish. 1 shall place : Tonderghie 1 Wet Beef 2 Maituku 3 The Miramar Hack, seven furlongs, cantains a field' of ten moderates, the besliof which appears! to bti Recreation.

The placing may lie : Ifccreation 1/ Oryx 2 Itl.vthe Maid 3 The Wellington Steeplechase, about three, nviles, is (.he next event. The probable starters and riders are Kaitere 11.12 (.1. McGregor), Oreus,ot 11.9 <F. Lind), Nor'west. 10.13 (Mr Selby), Phaetonitis 10.12 (I). Morrigan), Waitarem lil."1 (tP. Collins). 'Defoe 10.3 (T. Pritchnrd), Lurcher 9.13 (P. Joli'rfeton),' llongoa 9. 7 (J. Smithall). The contest will be lobbed of a ileal of interest o\v-

ing to the withdrawal of Kljw 'Pom at the last msmient. However, thero should lie a good go between Wnitarere and Kai'teiv, Nor'west, Phaetonitis, and Creusot. I have most rosi>ect for Waitarere, who is stated lo be a beautiful jumiier. The Auckland jwiir, Nor'west an*!' Kaitero, are sure to run well. X fancy : Waitartjro 1 Nor'west 2 Kaitere 3 Then follows the Parliamentary Handicap, one mile and a distance, which bears n very open appearance. F.xmoor, if as well as when at Ellerelie last month, must bo haAl to beat. Hum Madder is another should' "ma well. There is amplji room for a surprise as most of those engagwl hove been recorded as winners this season. To sum up a difficult simulation I .shall take : Exmioor 1Rose Madder 2 Lyrist 3

The Winter' Hurdles, two miles, should provido iw interesting Conteat. Hft'/dsoir.e Rose, Pushful, Ijcvant, anil Cavalry should provide the winner. Tho linish may be : Handsome Rose I Levant 2 Cavalry 3
