On Monday night. at 9 p.m. acceptances aro duo for tho first day's handicaps at Stratford. Acceptances for tho Wairarapa meeting, the weights for which were published yesterday, close on Wednesday next. H. Gray, who has been on a holiday trip to Stratford, loft on his return to Melbourne, last evening. ~ The Auckland horseman, J. Bucoinan,

is to rido the Karanm horses in their coming engagements at Ellerslie. : Included in the entries for the sprint events at Trentbam is the Randwioktrnined Tatterlcy. The eutrios received for the Cup meeting at Trentham are highly satisfa6tory. Most of tho leading handicap performers are engaged in the big events, but prominent absentees are Reputation and Warstep. When the pair have finished racing at EllerElie they ,-will be ready for a spell. This is probably the reason of their not being engaged at the Wellington meeting.

R. O'Donnoll passod through Wellington on Thursday on his way to Ellerslie.' He had with him a team of four horses, consisting of Satioi, who looks exceptionally well, Bonny Rigg, on imported filly, the Australian-bred Mountain Dream, and the two-year-old Wishful, a half-brother by Boniform to Sunburnt. ' • ' After being off the 6ceuo for some time the Auckland Cup candidate Princa Merriwee made ' his reappearance on Thursday morning. He pulled up sound after a couple of 6teady. rounds, and may be reliod upon to see the post on Boxing Day. Mr. Geo.
