It. M'Scveney has been engaged to ride Harbour Light in the Hurdles at Awapuni on Wednesday. ,

Mr. T. B. Whelch has sent, tho jumpers Imposter and Merry Lad tg Hastings to be got ready for winter engagements.

Tho hurdle horse St. Elmn haß arrived at Awapuni to fulfil his engagement there this week. He is nicely weighted, but as it is many months Bince he wbb seen out he can hardly be ready to show his beat form.

Tho following are the nominations for the Hawko'B Bay Oup, to be run on the opening day of tho Autumn Meeting at Hastings :-Impcdin)ent, Hylami, Ladoguor, Tresslda, Elevate, Menclaus, Seadown, Almo, Wishful, Gazique, Whakahoki, Silver Tongue, Good Hope, Trials, Cleft, My!teriarch, Estland, Bagdad, Dusky Eve, Teka, Client, Battle Song, Bonny Maid, Bed Ribbon, Jean Laddo.

The North Island horsemen H. Watßon and G. Clarke wore'riding at the Timaru Meeting last week. The former was successful on Gay Lad and Morthain, and Clarko won the big handicap the second dav on Battle Eve.

Badial, winner of the Electric Stakes nt Tiinaru on Thursday, is one of tho successful All Red tribe. He is a lullhrother to the useful Hot Air and All Ready.

Several of the local horses who have engagements at the Awapuni Meeting this week were sent out to gallop on Saturday morning. H. Telford worked. Association with Active over six furlongs, and Philomela joined in over the last half-mile. The threo-year-old easily held his own. Probation, who has an engagement in the big handicap, finished in front of Miss de Vol iu a soundly-run mile.

Menclaus gave Seadown a break, and easily accounted for the big follow over seven furlongs in lniin. 33Bec. Bonnie Maid and Battle Bong finished together in a bout over six furlongs, the time being lmiu. 208oc. Similar time was registered by Prince Delawaro, and tho two-year-old Risinghum. The laßt-namod is galloping well, and will contest the Sires' Produce Stakes iu which he 1b entitled to tho full allowances.

H M'Sweoney, who 1b now attached to J. W. Lowe's Btablee, schooled Coalition and Prince Delaware over hurdles, and tho hunter Torere over the brush fonces. Tho Trentham contingont for the Manawatu Meeting ib being railed to Palmerston Korth this morning.

The weather during the last couple of (lays has been all that could be desired, and if it holds there is everv prospect of a fresh Australasian record for ten furlongs bcine made by the victor in the Gold Cup.
