Club's autumn meeting commenced to-day. in showery weather, which later improved. The track was heavy after 24 hours’ rain. There was a fair attendance and the totalisator handled £3865, compared with £6292 on a. holiday first day last year, a drop of £2427. Results are:— TYRO STAKES. Of £6O.

a longer journey,, but King Brierly can run out a merry six furlongs. If reserved Astarth and Tybalt shruld show, up, while. Miss. Lorraine on the minimum has been showing form. Good money may come for ■ BALLYMONEY. TRAY BIT. WAHINE REIHI WAIHOU HANDICAP. Of £225. Six furlongs.

Gay Blonde’s recent track work points to her running a great race. The softer track will suit Greek Gold and Lucidiis. British' Columbia failed at Rotorua, but . Star Artist’s recent efforts at Te Rapa suggest that she may strike form at any time. ' Scotland would appear to hold the lightweights safe, though Coronis might prove a surprise packet. The main fancies may be GAY BLONDE. SCOTLAND. STAR ARTIST. 425 ■ CHAMPION HACK CUP.

This event' was welll named Champion Hack Cup: It is doubtful whether a better field of hacks has ever faced a starter in the Auckland province. Punters will, get a headache trying to pick a winner. Beau Gallante has gone the right way since winning at Trentham but may be troubled to concede weight to King Musk aijd Pango over this distance. Both will run the mile, ahd a '■ quarter right out. On Parade is another promising stayer. First .Lap ■ and: King Rey are useful, while the big course will favour the fast improving Barn Dance. Musquil, Scotch Nation, Gay Rose and Nun Nicer are all possibilities, while .Sir Abb and Royal Appelant are improvers. Ai? , Lassie and Mazir may. upset the fancied division. Eight to ten will be backed to win, but the favourites may b e , KING MUSK. PANGO. ' ON PARADE. . 5.10— HOT- SPRINGS HANDICAP.

This is a rather weak field and Matorni, whose, form at Ellerslie and I recent" track work have been really 1 good, is likely to touch a short price. Opposition may come from Prolyxo and ( Sirona, though on a soft track Baroscope i might show up. However, the favourites ; are likely to be 1 MATORNI. ; PROLYXO. 1
