Nominations for. the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club's Spring Meeting close on Wednesday next. Mr. A. Gordon, the. stipendiary steward present at Avondale on Wednesday, had A. M'Millan, the rider of Selection, and L. Browne, the rider of Flying So'ult, before the stewards, each being fined £1 for breaches of the rules, the former for taking his wrong place at the barrier, and the latter for not weighing-iii after running fourth. Corrio, who is top-weight in the Geraldine Cup, to be run next week, has been doing capital work at Riccarton recently. : Aβ • a result of his performance in finishing third in the Avondale Cup on Wednesday, after having a bad passage, M'ullingar is likely to be in considerable favour for the Avondale Guineas this alternoon. Mullingar is by Marble Arch —Roniyla, by Wallace—Lissadurn, by Bill of Portland-yCooya, by Nordeuf oldt, so that ho is bred on very successful lines. He started twelve times last season, winning three races, and being placed in five others, his performances entitling him to rank as the beet of his ago in Auckland. His running in ti, Avondalo Cup shows that he has grown into a useful three-year-old. The two-year-old sister to Marsa, in company with Warstep, shaped attractively at Riccarton on Thursday morning. The formor is engaged in the Dniiedin Stakes, and will bo taken south for that race, while Warstep will also l go south to run iii some of the handicaps. In the Kingeland Hurdles at Avondale. to-day, Admiral tioult is conceding 331b. or over to seven of the eight candidates opposed to him. 'Phu big chestnut gelding by Vasco — Ngaio in M. Hobbs's Riccarton stable will mako his first public appearance at tho Kurow Meeting. Hβ is a halfbrother to Parky, who won the Winter Cup twelve months ago. Reports from the south state that tlio three-year-old filly Kencontre is galloping in good style on the track. She will bo a runner in the Dunedin Uuineas. Koyal Irish has to give 71b. to King Soult in the Plumpton Handicap ( at Avondale to-day, as against 181b. conceded to the son. of Soult and Lady Musket in the Cup on Wednesday. If tho Cup raco was- truly ruu, one would hardly expect tho difference in Uto pcundago to bring tho horses together. Tho/Mount Albert Steeplechase promises to bo a very interesting event at Avondalo this afternoon, as no fewer than 17 horses have mado tho acceptance. ■ Tho. field includes several visiting horses.
