The selding ila-n-hiti has b?en absent fTOm the tracks at Ellerslie for »boot a w«et, and it is understood that all is not righo Trith the son of Dormant. I noticed him waiting about the roads yesterday morning, ana he walked sonnd -nongh, &na may probably be seen out on the co*- , rlndlns day of tie A.S.C. lathering.

Saye m English peper:—rt Hμ often been, reported that a famone ex-trainer gave it as his dk-tnsn that there was net the difference of the length of a walkingstick between tne beet and the worst ieekuys riding. The fallacy of this opinion has been often exposed, bat perhaps never more so than in the case of Sheffield and Flower Bed. the respertiTe winners of the Cauwirk Mald-n States at Lincoln and the Clifton Plate at Nottingham. i n the foraer r»ce Sieffleia. ridden by t Jen. nlnr*. save 9lb to Flower Beo. ridflen by EL Sadgrove. and wen bj a bead. At Nat. tiasbun, C A. Heekferd. aa appreatlee, was ntmiitatrA for Bateon.

i reenlt was a reiyeeey" victory Flower i Bed by three lengths, although • the.Lincoln winner was raeeiing tie other oil only 21b worse terms at Nottingham. On Monday aeit the Greet Nerthtra Steeplecnase ceines up for decision at Ellerslle, and the event beers a decidedly J open appearance. The top weight, Klatefe, is looking and solng well, but he has 1 a terrible load to carry (12st 131b), and good herse and all as he has prored him- ■ self to be, I think on this occasion he has been eet a task beyond Uβ powers. Haydn ' has incurred a seven pound penalty, which - brings his-weight te liet 111b. The old veteran knows the country so well that ' he must be given a greet chance. It Is ' a lone time since he was as well ac he is ' at present. Slow Tom (llet Sib) and Inniekilles, on the same mark, I hare so fancy fer. Nadador, which has had her weipht raised to list by reason of her win at Wanganui, Is very well, and should Rive i) her supporters a good run for their money, i but Irish (lost 111b) lias gone out of favour , since bis fall at Wanganui. 'Waitarere j (lOst 4lb) ie spoken of as a rod in pickie , for this part'cnlar event, and he has cer- j tjiinlj- been driven every opportunity to dis- - tlnguLsh liimsolf. nis display over the ■ country on Thursday last wae certainlj' s satisfactory, bnt it is a question whether 1 he will be pqtial to the task of climbing j the hill three times or not. Khama (»st *. 91W, Rangitoto (9st 71b). Mooltan (9st 71b). \ and Cachuca (9st 71b) seem tbe most pro- < bable amonsst the light weights, and any , one of the qnartette may provide the win- < ner. After a careful consideration I will . place them: Haydn 1, Nadador 2, Meeltan « 2
