SPORTING.

NOTES BY HIPPONA. The Committee of the Auckland Bacliic- Club met yesterday afternoon, and finally iccided upon the Spring, Summer, and ■' Autumn programmes for the iortbcJaina season. Through the courtesy of Mr Perch-Ji I have been furnishe.l vlha rough copy of the same, from which I learn that the Chi! wjll fi«e away .the handsome sum of £4,595 in added money, at the thren gatherings, distributed thus • — SDrim! Meeting, £515 ; Summer Meeting £» 7«! Autumn Meeting, £1,330. This amount wii compare most favourably with the earn given by the other leading Clubs of the Colony, and shows a good increase ntmn last year. Such liberality is much to ha commended, and is strong evidence in favour of the assumption that the " sport of kings" is progressing satisfactorily in Auckland, A number of alteration a have been made in the arrangement of the different events at the Spring and Summer Meeting?, and the names of several races altered. At the Autumn Meeting, the principal alteration is tacking on another 50sovs. to the Steeplechase, while several of the stakes in tha minor events have been increased. The three programmes read as follows :— SPUING MEETING. Friday. 10th November, Trial Stakes, lOOsovs.. 1 mile; Weloomn Stakes (for 2-yoar-olds), ICOsovs., 5 lurlcS Hurdle Hacc, Tosovs., 2 miles; Spring Handl' cup, 120SOVS., H mile; Ladies' Purse lOsovs 1 mile (gentleman riders); Epsom Plate SOsovb. 5 furlongs.

Nominations for the Spring Handicift close on the 28th September, and for the- Auckland Cup, A.X C. Handicap, and Skeplechase ou the 26th Gctober. The Takapuna Jockey Club held a com* mittee meeting on Wednesday evening, and : hxed the dates of their gatherings for next season. Saturday, "the Ist of December, baa been set down for the Spring Meeting, and the Summer Meeting will take place on the same date as last year, 29th January, while the 17th of March (St. Patrick's I Da)), has been selected for the autumn fixture. A preliminary programme ttaa also drawn up, which will be further dis. Eg cussed next week. On Thursday nexf, the curtain will rise ".', S on the Australian racing season proper of ' 1883 and 1884, that day and the following Saturday beiug selected by the Uawkssbuty Kacing Club for their Spring Meeting. The i principal event on 1 hursday is The Guineas} I for which there are seventy-four nemina. I ! lion?, but out of that number it is not', likely that more than a dozen will ccc tha : post. On Saturday, the plum of the pro*, gramme is the Hawkesbury Handicap, 1) mile, for which the following were left in »s last advices :— st.lb.

Yately. is first favourite at 2 to 1, Caunamulla coming next »t 8 to 1,1 Yately, who is by Warlike ftom Atie], has no previous performances of much account to recommend him, but he has been doing very satisfactory work on the training gr. und for st'me t;me past, and his pro« miuent position iv the market is probably due to this fact, aad his partly putting ?',;<■ their pieces down. Notwithstanding that ihs race is reckoned such a good thiDg mnfil Yately, it will not surprise me to ccc bin) in beaten by either Masquerade, Morpeth, Ctinnamuiiji.or Sardonyx,ana if theformetil "wanted," he will be found aye y batdnut : ti crack. A mona the light-weight division ' too there is the highly-bred Gloucester, v that altogether it must be voted an exceed. ingly open race, and I will be much milkg^, taken if it does not fetch out another " time* 9 smasher." A cablegram to-day informs v s that Mar I tini- Henry is now first favourite for Iha A.J.C. Derby. In Melbourne last week, he was also a firm favourite at 2 fo 1 taken, while Warwick had receded a point, and 2" I to 1 was freely offered without a taker, Warwick is also not so firm for the V.ltCi Derby, and from appearances there is every I prospect of Martini-Henry starting a hot r first favourite, though Off Colour and Archie aie each steadily supported at 6 to, I 1. There appears to be a standing com< mis-ion in the markets to back Martini" 8 enry for the Melbourne Cup at 1000 to 40, as the<e odds are quickly taken up as of tea I as offered, and the colt is now firmly in* i stalled first favourite for the big handicap ol the year. JUlrk Hatteraiok, Stock.,; well, and Nicholas have each lots H of friends, and Bordeaux, Prodigal. Grosvenor, and Deepot , bare all | been backed by the public to win fair stakes. .Dukedom is also in demand, a good deal of money having gone on to this son ot Maribvrnoog at 1,000 to 25 and 1,000 to 30. The Queensland colt Lepand has likewise been introduced to tha I market, 5,000 to 125 having been laid in one line. The two-year-old colt' King's Own, who won the Tattcrsall's Stakes at Kandwick on Saturday last, is by Goldsbrongh, the first and most celebrated son of the Neff Zealand Stud Company's mare Sylvia. H» was trained by Allsopp (who has^Sß Modred and Yately in hand), and previons; to his win received support for the M»H' byrnong Plate. The i.ostus Handicap winner, Belvidere, carried 6it 21bs, bat sj I far as I can gather, ntver previously scored I a win, although placed oa several oocfr sions. His name does not appear in any or the big Spring events ; but Ascot aad N°r j' 1 man, who ran a dead heat for sewnd honours, are both engaged in the Hawke* .:-■ I bury Bandicap and Great MetropoliMn V - Stakes. , The well-known little horse Vampiiy by The Barb, from Rushlight, belonging" Mr "Balmain," baa had to b8 destroyea! owing to injuries received. Previous to,, I his being brought to *ew Zealand, he "M I owned by Mr X. Ivory, of Sydney. . '*V, The Auckland Racing Club have decww upon introducing two new races into tneit programmes.
