By “ACHILLES.” The annual race meeting of the Wav-crley-Waitotara Club will be held on Monday (Labour Day), and gives every promise of proving a record success. The splendid acceptances received augur well for a most enjoyable day’s sport, and as this gathering is a very popular one with holiday-makers, there is sure to bo a big attendance if the weather is favourable. ’The course is reported to be in capital order, and as Secretary W. Macfarlane has all the arrangements in good order Hie programme should be got through without the slightest hitch. The Wanganui Garrison Band will! be in attendance under Mr T. Jones, acting conductor, and will give the following programme—March, “Colonel Bogey selection, “Souvenir Do Russe waltz, “Sweet Idleness;” selection, “Squire’s Popular Songs;” solo polka, “Besses o’ the Barn;” selection, “Faust;” waltz, “Destiny;” descriptive fantasia, “The Smithy in the Wood;” cornet solo, “Magic of Your Voice;” selection, “Madam Angot;” waltz, “Nights of Gladness;” cornet solo, “Mother Machreecharacteristic piece, “Cotton Blossoms;” and march, “Washington Grays.” Such a fine selection of music, played in keeping, as it will be, with the high traditions of the band, will assuredly prove very enjoyable. Intending visitors to Waverlcy by the special departing from Wanganui at 8.50 a.m., and can return by the 5.30 or 6.20 trains from the racecourse. There are ten horses left in the Brewer Handicap, with which the day’s sport will open, including Orocsns 9.8, and it is said that the veteran is likely to show' that ho has not yet lost all his brilliancy. However, Jutland, 8.1, is the popular pick, and Carmel Arch

7.0, .should also run a good rsce if started. There are fifteen in ihe Mai don, m which the pair which will probably earrv most money will be 'fame Fox and "Simon. Alhione is one that might also ruu well. First Salute ifi <TifjLiK«l in the Cup, but if kept for the Moumahaki Stakes should run a good mile. Arrow held and kj.gari are both rejiorted to be doing well on the tracks. Most of the 25 horses engaged in the .larks-en Memorial will l*e *soen out in earlier rae-js, and tiieir form will probably ho more or ksi exposed. ftuddy, Vance, Tempo, Nemaline, Erin'tt f.sle, and Nannkh are ail likely to b» well supported if tiiey start. Tin catering will be in the hawk of Huston's. Ltd.? and that well-known firm can bo depended upon to give every satisfaction to patrons of the luncheon nnm and also the tea. rooms. It i« reported that Jutland is an n». likely starter in the Brewer Handicap at WavcrW on Monday. The t*wi « Advance haa been a ntrong fancy f«f the raw in question since the nomiuat; toons, and ho lias lK«-r. coupled "with almost everything m the Cup. Warplane pulled up very lame after a gallop at 'lYentham on ThaMday morning, and "Glen roc" says he is a doubtful runner at the Wellington meeting Crowns has been dropped to S.fl in lie Stewards' Handicap, or 141b lew than he carried in last year'b raee. Ho thus has an opportunity to Michaola on 261b better term«. Crootus won the raee in 1315 wilii 8.13. I''. Darin arrived at Trentham on Thursday with-Desert Cold, Warlike, Lucid, and Right and Left. Owing to tlie illness of (!. Emerson, Davie is kft without a horseman for bis team, but 15. Dee-ley will ride some of them. Zola looks a cut above the others engaged in the Hurdle race, but he ha« a big weight, 11.13, and, besides, one never knows when he will be stopj>e.d by bleeding trouble. He certainly appears to he in splendid fettle just now, and if able to do his l*-sl will take a power of beating. Austin, 10.8, jus likely to run a big raee, while Khartoum, 10.13, is a much improved gelding. The Wilison Stakes is likely to be contested by a big field, including Vanre and Ruddy, two speedy one*. Vane* i« very fit, and suoii a smart beginner jjs likely to cut out n very fast four furlongs. Zerda is rcjwrtcd to be very fast, and may l*c the best of the outsiders. The Cup field will be a good one, and it should be a fine betting raee, as Ail Over, Marqueteur, Depredation, and Oratress are ail likely to be well backed. Prom all accounts Oratress is galloping in great form, and All Over is also very fit. Of the eighteen in the Flying Handicap, Nemaline looks to be nicely placed on his forward running at WanganuL Faroe and Otonga also read wolL (). McArten arid L. Nodder, who have riding engagements at Wellington today, >ntend returning jier motor for the Waverlcy meeting. It is aaid -tillat Perfect Day may not be a runner in the Cup at Wavcrley, but may bo reserved for the Mon mail aki Stakes, in which race the, field will not l»e as strorvg. In ah is said to have been showing greait brilliancy on Hi© track at Hawera recently, and her connections anticipate she will take a hand in the settlement of the Stewards' Handicap at Ricear■ton, Sho ran naif a, mile the other morning in 48-]. However, the six furlongs at Ittcearton is cut out at top pace from end to end, and it may b* that this will find the Coronet mara out, though she is undoubtedly very bullion t. After competing in the Wawerley Oup Marqneteur will bo taken to Auckland for thft Mitehelson Cup. He is said to bo in splendid fettle. Yolo, Bingham and Figment Park passed through A ram oho the other day en route to Trcntham, where Egmon-t Park is expected to rfiow io more advantage than he did at Wanganui. Yolo has not done much work recently as ho was suffering from a broad heel. He is all right again now, and Kiigb* run well at Trcntham. He may stei* in the Champion Plato on Monday. The catering at the W averloy-Waifco-tara meeting will be in charge of Dastin's, Ltd., which in a rafikaent fjw»rantee that every satisfaction will be
