ANTICIPATIONS FOR TAKA-PUNA-SECOND DAY. (J3y "Moturoa.") The Takapuna spring gathering will' be concluded to-day. The double e.'ent tote will be worked on the Stanley and Spring Handicap. In the Kawiiu Hurdles Hakaria shojld score. The place getters may be Ilakaria 1 lioseplot 2 Seabird 3 In the Stanley Handicap, a four furlong flutter, Miss Winnie should go near scoring again. Martyr King is also slippery over this distance ns he proved in the Electric Handicap at the Avondale spring meeting. I shall place Miss Winnie 1 Martyr King 2 JSToteorini 8 The Spring Handicap .should provie 1 # an interesting go between Lundlock, Geordie, Delaiiiu, and Miliie. The litter was forcing the pace in the St. Andrew's Handicap, being alongside Lnndlock at the turn for home, the shorter distance to-day will be in her favour. I like Landlock 1 Geordie 2 jfillie 3 The Vauxhall Handicap should bo t'ought out by Pukekohe, King Paul ami Bromide, who may finish in the order named. The finish of the Pony R ice may find

Opotiki 1 Sonoma 2 4 Luresome 3 '1 he Cautley Handicap will bo better Slimmed up after previms runnug. T:ie place getters may l.e Te Aroha 1 Miss Winnie 2 liohoro 8 The ltakino Steeplechase may find Swimmer 1 Nor'-west 2 Hinemoa 3 For the Welter Handicap I like Franklin 1 Sii Gilead 2 King Paul 3

ANTICIPATIONS FOR FEILDING (By " Motiirou. 1 ') Tlio Feilding spring meeting will be hold to-day and to-morrow. From the largo acceptances received the titlds promise to be large, aud should provide some first-class lacing, the issue in most of the events appears decidedly open, and Mr Henrys lias provided something solid for punters to work on. Tho local horses should render a good account of themselves. In the Flying Stake*, the first event for which 17 have paid up, "oluti on on recent performances should be hard to beat, of the others. Multifid, Exmoor, St, Claimer and Prelude look the most likely. I shall place

Solution 1 Multifid 2 Prelude i! The Maiden Hack Plate may be fought out by Mereshot, Lady White, Gleam and Windy. 1 like Lilly White 1 Gleam 2 Alril'sS.ot $ The St. Anuic .. Handicap looks open. Gold Crown, *.'■ mv■•>. Grenade and Auratus appear a liiiuU , r i utptte. Gmiade's last performance over » .similar distance, was meritorious from a time point of view, but it mubt be recognised he had nothing of much account to beat. I prefer Flamen at the same weights, and to make a selection will place

Flamen 1 Auratus 2 Grenade 8 Of the 22 engaged in the Aorangi ilack llatley, Makikihi, Operattu, iienairand Hipporangi should run well forward. The place getteis may be Operetta 1 Hatley 2 Makiicihi 8 The fpring Hurdles may iind Handsome Rose 1 Waiwera 2 Pushfull ii Of the 15 engaged in tho Hack Hurdles I prefer Wild Cat Numa 2 Flanagan 3 The Kiwitea Welter is another event which appears open. Marguerite, King's Birthday, Submarine, and Polyanthus are well treated. The finish may be Marguerite 1 King's Birthday 2 Submarine 3 In the Hack Flying I like the chances of Flotilla, Sir Geraint, Dulcinea and Captain Shannon. The placing may bo Flotilla 1 Sir Geraint 2 j Captain Shannon 3
