THE AUCKLAND RACING CLUB SUMMER MEETING.

Anticipations o. To-Morrow'a Racing,

fliY Illl'l'OXA.]

Sitcitii.n the weather prove line to-morrow, the Auckland Hacing Club are again bound to .be rewarded by a large attendance of spectators to witness the second day's racing. As on Boxing Day, a first-class bill of fare has been provided, comprising the Derby, Selling Race, A.B.C. Handicap, Publicans' Purse, New Year's Gift (which will bring the two-year-olds together again), and Grand Stand Handicap. The first race will start punctually at one o'clock, and the train arrangements will be similar to thoso in force on the first day of the gathering. My notes and selection?, and the entries und acceptances for the various events arc as follows: — Tin: Derby, 1J mile. Nelson, by King Cole—My Idea Wapiti, by King Cole-Realisation Musketeer, by Musket—Yatterina lCscopctu, by Musket—Winifred From what I can learn, Nelson is himself na-ain, and Escopeta has also improved, so that it is not unlikely tho four will conic to the post. If the latter was really well, sho would have my vote without the slight est hesitation, but under tho circumstances it shall be given to the best of Major Ceorgo's, whom I take to be Nelson. .Selling Rack, l mile and a distance. St. lb. St. lb. Woodpecker ..8 7 Soukar .. ..7 7 .übttllill., ..8 7 Rewi .. .. 7 , Envious .. ..8 0 Paramena.. .. 7 i Kenilworth .. 710 Flageolet .. .. i - Strathoarn ..77 The competitors tn this event being much of a class, thcro is bound to bo a great struggle for first place, but my idea is that whatever gets homo before Paramena will win. The A.lt.C. IIAN-niCAi-', 13 mile. Horso. St. lb, Rider, Salvage 9 1 .. ..G.Williams Tim Whilller,. ..8 4.. .. W.Butler Libeller 7 2.. A. Sutherland Maori 7 0 .. P. McMinnimim Fishwoman .. ..012.. Kenilworth .. ..6 5.. ■ — Vortex 5 7.. A. Byers This is the big event of the day, and with out doubt there is no horso engaged in it so well handicapped as Libeller. His trip to tho Thames, however, will have done him no good, and I place more reliance on a porformor like Sai.v.uik, who I expect to sco turn out the winner, with Tim Whilller and Libeller close at his heels. Pobmcaxs' Purse, w.f.a., 1 mile. St. lb. St. lb. Wclcomo Jack ..97 Mitrailleuse ..SI __lvag>* .. -• 81. Escopeta .. .. 8 l Nolson ~ ..8 1 St. Leger .. .. 7 S If Welcome Jack starts, thore is nothing I can sco that will beat him in this race. New Year's Gift, o furlongs. St. lb. St. lb. Musketeer ..9 5 Gretna Green .. 013 Flageolet ~ .. 9 0 Kusileer .. .. Gll St. Leger .. .. 7 8 Carbineer .. .. OS) Ugly Buck ~7 2 Woodnymph ..0 6 Krupp 1 2 Sataiieiltt .. .. CO Revolver .... 7 2 The above imposts include penalties nnd allowances, and I think this ovont will pro duce about the most interesting contest of tho afternoon. With his old opponent, Trenton, out of the way, and a horseman that will hold him together, tho race should be a good thing for Kruti', who on this occasion, I expect will bo tho first to catch the judge's eye.

Grand Stand Handicap, ll mile. Salvage .. ..9 3 Fishwoman ~7 5 Tim Whilller .. S 7 Rewi .. .. 7 0 libeller .. .. 7 111 Kalo .. ..ifl Yuba Bill.. .. 7 7 Wapiti .. .. 0 U .Maori .. 7 7 Of courso this race is in a groat measure (dependent <m the result of the A.R.C. Handicap, but I think that Libkl-KU is so <yell treated lie nui't bo hard to beat, and after him, I like nothing so woll as Salvage.

Tiie meeting will bo concluded on Wed nesday, and among the events to ba decided on that day aro tho Nursery Handicap (br 2-year-olds), Newmarket Handicap (a j'-mile flutter), and the Steeplechase. For tie latter there are eight engaged, and despje his crusher of 1-st 121b, I think tint Clarenck will be returned the winner.

Speculation on the meeting is at a stand still. At Tattersall's on Saturday night! the only business of any note transacted was tho backing of Libeller to win tho A.R.C. and Grand Stand Handicaps for 100, the taker getting it on at 100. to 5. Nelson and Clarence coupled, were backed to win the Derby and Steeplechase for about 150. No prices were quoted.

Those who patronise the totalisator will be glad to learn that tho Club havo made _u__ arrangements fortho remaining days of theme-ting that they hope to altogether do away vltli thecru-i and inconvenience (that investor- suffered on Boxing Day. The .octacon houso will bo used for backing horses only, three machines being put triangular, and two men told off to each, while the dividends will bo paid at a separate offico at tho back of tha old grand stand, half in the lawn and half out.

It is with regret that I have to record _he sale of the promising two year-old colt 'Trenton to Mr G. Q, Stead, of Christ church. A youngster njoro likely to dis tinguish himself in future turf battles we have not bad in Auckland, and It seems a great pity that somo of our local sportsmen did not step in and secure him, for I under stand he has been in the private-sale list for .some time post. The price Mr Stead paid lor tho colt has not transpired, but I have heard it stated it was £.00.
