TARATABICARTERTON RACES. (By LunnEsnows). Having been now so long torpid in the district sporting lin», I may he exceed perhaps, if 1 feel iu res: -,•( to th- several events at Taratahi on Monday next, a little rusQ. Regarding the Hurdles, for which there me only three acceptances, I shad most decidedly select Freebooter ns the winner. If either Spartau or Bobby beat, the first-named (Freebooter) will have an accident B the coarse is not too heavy I think first Water will canter iu with (ho stakes of the Birthday Handicap, with perhaps Revoke or Okato second. For the Clareville Handicap I shall place Okato (Bst Bib) first, with l iist Water (Bet) second, and Kskipo a pood third, if he does not work a surprise, and run a good second. Sporting men in the district are hoping that Queen's Birthday this y. ar will result in the reputable “ Queen's weather.’
