TAKAPUNA JOCKEY CLUB’S SUMMER MEETING.

THIRD DAY.

The concluding day’s racing of the Takapuna Jockey Club’s Summer Meeting will take place next Saturday, and if only the fine weather holds —and there is every probability of such being the case —then another very enjoyable day’s racing should be the result. The Ferry Company put up a wonderful record on Monday as regards the number of people carried across the water, and as more steamers will be available on Saturday, it will be a very simple matter to reach Devonport, for boats will be running every few minutes. The number of brakes, waggonettes, and cabs from the wharf to the course is now simply legion, making the Takapuna racecourse perhaps the easiest of access of all. Mr. Wynyard’s arrangements for the meeting have so far worked like clockwork, everything having passed off without the slightest hitch, so that patrons may rely on everything possible being done to ensure them comfort. As the acceptances do not close until we go to press, it is not possible for me to deal with the probable winners. The following, however, may run well if started: —Marine Handicap: Misere or Lady Cressy. Ponui Steeplechase: Loch Fyne or Sol. Waiwera Hurdles: Cuiragno or Seabird. Devonport Handicap: Certainty or Noteorini. Borough Handicap: Discoverer or Hohoro. Summer Handicap: Full Cry or Annoyed. Pony Handicap: Storyteller or Forth. Welter Handicap: Le Beau or Polycaste.
