AUCKLAND TROTTING

! fields reviewed ; PROMISE OF FINE RACING. j WHIPPET. AND MAZDA APPEAL. ; (Special to Daily News.) : After several weeks of quiet in the Auckland trotting world, flags will be Unfurled again at Alexandra Park, Epsom, to-day for the opening of the Auckland Trotting Club’s February meeting. Arrangements have been made to instal the win and place system of betting, and this will mark the first attempt by a trotting club to work the system. The riew betting process, together with the good fields engaged, should further popularise the meeting, which concludes on Wednesday next. Auckland and Waikato horses are in a big majority on this occasion. While the local brigade should take a good share of the spoils, some of the outside representatives should not return empty handed. The South Island pacer Silver de Oro is a strong fancy for the Otahuh Handicap, and in some circles she is freely mentioned as a likely double-winner. While her form is very good this season Pageant, Kewpie’s Guy, Kewpie’s Triumph, First Flight and Peter Pirate will keep G. McKendry’s pony very busy in the* big race. The Moss Davis Memorial is decidedly open, and any of the runners in the two miles will have a chance in the sprint. Two fresh horses, Great Parrish and Brentlight, will take a lot of beating, and on his fine finishing effort in the Auckland Cup, Great Parrish should lead the strong opposition home. J. T. Paul will also supply the favourite for both events for square-gaited horses—Nelson Pirate in the Inch Handicap and Bessie Parrish in the better class February Handicap. There is the usual big field in the novice and improving pacer’s race, but Raider, Edna Worthy and Fisher have the best public credentials, although Te Mjahanga may provide a surprise. The Papakura Handicap has attracted a fine field of classy pacers, and with Whippet,-. Realty and Native Berry on the limit those behind thern are set a hard contract. The:same applies in the Mt. Albert Handicap, where the limit trio, Mazda, Prince Etawah and Wee Machine should. hold the back-markers safe. ■ ■ • * , - . ■ ■ The Railway Handicap will keep backers thinkirig, as Pukemiro, Silver Bingen, Truman Direct, Hohoro and Realty all hold reasonable chances. Work during the week was very Interesting at Epsom, and after what they have seen some track watchers will be left to walk home if Whippet and Mazda fail to collect. Hie following may find most support:— Trial Handicap: Nelson Pirate, Necoya, Winiwhata. Waiteke Handicap: Raider, Edna Worthy, Te Mahanga. Otahuhu Handicap: Silver de Oro, First Flight, Pageant-Kewpie’s Guy bracket. Papakura Handicap: Whippet, Realty, Native Berry. Mt. Albert Handicap: Mazda, Prince Etawah, Wee Machine. February' Handicap: Bessie Parrish, Zanzibar, Parrish Belle. Moss Davis Memorial: Great Parrish, Kewpie’s Triumph, Carnui-Pageant-Kew-pie’s Guy bracket. Railway Handicap: Realty, Pukemiro, Silver Bingen. KEMBALL’S DOUBLE SUCCESS. RACING AT MOONEE VALLEY. Melbourne, February 16, Moonee Valley results are:— TWO-YEAR-OLD HANDICAP. Five furlongs.

HERBERT SMITH CUPS SPORTS AT WAREA SCHOOL. VERY KEEN COMPETITION. The annual sports of the Warea school were held in the Warea Domain yesterday in dull weather, but-the rain held off until the sports had concluded, and an’ interesting day was spent. For the fifth year in succession the school had been presented with two cups from the Herbert Smith Trust, and there was yei'y keen competition for them. The cups are open for competition among the girls and boys of the school between the ages of 9 and 15 years. ’ In order to give every child an equal chance the headmaster, Mr. D. W. Longley, arranged the" children in various groups according to age, and ini each group the children were penalised one foot, in each. 100 yards for every month over one year. The system worked out well, practically every child gaining a point. The programme was... a . very lengthy brie, there being 76 events, but the organisation was such that the- sports were all over by 3 o’clock. Runner-up medals were donated to the- seniors by Mr. T. Julian, whilst the. school committee donated medals to both the winners and runhers-up. , The Herbert Smith cups were won by Nina Sutton and T. Harvey, each securing the possible 21 points by winning the seven events. The runners-up were respectively Evaline Taylor (16J points) and O. Taylor (20J points). The junior championship medals . were won by L. Magon (girls), last year’s winner, with 9 points, and L. Taylor (boys) with 10 points. The runners-up were F. Harvey (girls) with 7 points and E. Edgecombe (boys) with 9 points. The cups and medals were subsequently presented to the winners by Mr. A. J.
