CHEVIOT TROTS.

Prospects for To-morrow’s Events. BIG FIELDS ENGAGED The Cheviot Trotting Club will hold its annual meeting to-morrow. Good fields are scheduled to appear for every race, and among the number engaged are several very promising horses. Special trains have been arranged in connection with the meeting, and a very successful day’s racing is anticipated. 11.45 a.m. TRIAL HANDICAP, of 40 sovs. Class 3.7. One mile and a quarter. Argolis scr Lone Derby scr Emily de Oro scr Port light scr Dandy Sardonyx scr Locanda scr Shadow King scr Happy Bird scr Shy Wink scr Kraal scr For the Trial Handicap, Sky Wink will be among the best-backed. He ran well at Motukarara. Happy Bird will be at home over a mile and a quarter, and Portlight is overdue. 12.30 p.m. DOMETT HANDICAP, of 45 sovs. Unhoppled trotters; class 3.51. One mile and a half. Billy Sunday scr Harvest scr Flotsam scr Walter Wrack scr Gay Crusader scr Header 3»’ •ninernutu scr Kotinga 4 8 Pretender scr Ganton 60 Rembrandt scr Several unknown trotters are carded to contest the Domett Handicap. Walter Wrack looks to be the pick of the front-markers, but Header and Kotinga should keep him busy. 1.15 p.m. CHEVIOT CUP HANDICAP, of 150 sovs. Class 4.50. Two miles. Aim worthy scr Amonos (T.) 12 Betty Wrack scr Jimmy de Oro 12 Camera scr Lucky Guy 12 Dark Girl scr Olive Rey 12 Elvo scr Royal Escort 12 Encounter scr Vagabond King 12 Finnebrogue scr Hard Words 24 Gay Fashion sun - Paul Drusus 24 Golden Dollar scr Young Travis 24 Recess scr If Young Travis gets a reasonable passage in the Cheviot Cup Handicap he will be prominent at the finish. Elvo has shown to advantage over two miles, and Betty Wrack is a possibility for a distance event. Paul Drusus also has won over two miles. In all probability, Young Travis, Elvo and Betty Wrack will be fancied. % 2 p.m. MINA HANDICAP, of 50 sovs. Class 2.28. One mile. Dandy Myra Locanda scr Chenault scr Grace Sky Wink scr M’Ehvyn scr Treasure Happy Bird scr Trove scr Kraal scr Harvestin 12 Lone Derby scr Stella Derby 12 Sardonyx scr Sky Wink is also engaged in the Mina Handicap. Stella Derby won a sprint race on the West Coast at Christmas time, and Dandy Locanda will be at home over one mile, as will Harvestin. When speculation ceases, Harvestin, Stella Derby and Sky Wink may be among the best backed. 2.45 p.m. SPOTSWOOD HANDICAP, of 60 sovs. Class 3.45 One mile and a half. Argolis scr Portlight eser Charteris Romanos scr Vale scr Realeen scr Golden Cross scr Shadow King scr Olax scr It is only a question of Golden Cross repeating his home work to race well in the Spotswood Handicap. Portlight and Shadow King will offer most resistance. 3.30 p.m. BOLLARD MEMORIAL HANDICAP. of 85 sovs. Class 2.23. One mile. Aim worthy scr Elvo 12 Attorney scr Recess 12 Betty Golden Dollar 12 Ax worthy scr Jimmy de Oro 24 Encounter scr Paul Drusus 24 Finnebrogue scr Vagabond King 24 Betty Wrack 12 Young Travis 24 Dark Girl 12 Ayr Lass 4 8 Young Travis also figures in the Bollard Memorial Handicap. Bettty Axworthy is a speedy mare, but Attorney will worry her over the last part of a mile contract. Recess, Betty Wrack and Golden Dollar are very speedy, so when it comes to business, Recess, Golden Dollar and Betty Wrack might beat Attorney, but then there is Encounter. On form, Encounter will trouble Recess and Golden Dollar. 4.15 p.m. PARNASSUS HANDICAP, of 65 sovs. Unhoppled trotters; class 5.8. Two miles. Billy Sunday scr Rich Harvest scr Flotsam scr Waiter Wrack scr Gay Crusader scr Header 24 Ohinemutu scr Kotinga 36 Pretender scr Ganton 48 Rembrandt scr Kotinga and Header may stay too well for Walter Wrack in the Parnassus Handicap. 5 p.m. MACKENZIE HANDICAP, of 110 sovs (including trophy).

Emily de Oro scr Social Pest scr Golden Cross scr Stella Derby scr Harvestin scr Sylvia Sydney scr Jockeen scr Tollgate scr Llewellyn’s *\Betty Pride scr Axworthy 12 Romanos scr Camera 12 Realeen scr In the Mackenzie Handicap, Llewellyn’s Pride will meet Golden Cross, Harvestin, Social Pest, Stella Derby, Sylvia Sydney and Camera.
