LATEST REPORTS ON FORM. IBY GMNCOE.I Latest advices from the south stale that tho weather is excellent. and there in t'very appearance of it remaining so for to-day's rjices. Crib, the lop weight >11 the iSpring Hurdles, has freshened ud a lot 6iuco lie last raced, and ho should ho able to give a hold showing to-day. Those who flaw Naupiita race at Dunedin stato (hat ho will be dangerous to-day, ami was very unlucky in the. south not to win a double. He is spoken of as sure to be prominent during the week. Ainonesfc Die light-weights is Want, who is nicely in with 9st. Bib. He can go as fast as cuything in tho race, and stays well. Two useful three-year-olds ip Hie Aitf-tralian-bred Rude and Nanna are at the bottom of the list in the Serine Plate. Tho three-year-olds generally show up well in this event, and Dude, who wi.n iu his only start this season showed enough ability at the end of blx furlongs to suggest ho will not bo troubled by the further distance.

Estland will he tho favourlto in the Derby. There was no question about hia superiority as a two-year-old, ard til# race be ran here in tho Champion Plate shows that ho has gono on the right way since. ' It is a very difficult matter to forecast the favourite in the Stewards' Handicap, hut Lady Black will probably rival any other competitor for the position. Elocution was not seen at her best here, and may do better to-day, while her stable companion form Tip has. enough friends to send tho bracket out favourite, wystnd has been going citra well at Iticcarton. Oj the light-weights, Multiplication and Ladogeur, can both be expected to act well doivn the long straight. . Nothing stands out in the Ij'nwooa Handicap, 'but those who wcro at ITentham will pin their faith to Galore, a place-getter here. She is a feu''"-!™™? luaro, and should be well able to get seven furlongs with only 7st. 61b. on "rhe Iticcarton Welter is run over a mile course. There is an acceptance ol .weillS two. and fully twenty of them w U -o to the post. Devotion, who ran two ood races In first-class company > l«»l 1 :>™; should be in tho limelight when tho held is engaged in the final struggle.. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Christchurch, November 4. everybody's aKV-^'d'TlVii'^'oVien^ Vorse to hold the position of favoiyte. His track work has been of a very hu?h order, and his final gallop on Saturday was a splendid one, for he never let Midnight Star near him afteisoini! Avefur longs, and his tune for the full distance was the best of the morning. If the Cup is *i nroncrlv run racc it will suit the Elevation' gcldinj?, who is a thorough St JlcssW. T: 1(1(1 iforrl will start both Menelaus and Johnny Walker in the Cup. The win of informal in the Aymdnle Stakes draws attention to Pontoon, for the Wolowa colt comfortably beat Informal at Treutbam.
