This vrillmako his weight 9st. 41b„ and he is requ red to give 231b. to the very useful Son Spec. Tho latter has not Jiad a race this season, but lie lias been workina well at Kiccartou. Koso l'iuk is top-weight in the Kurow Handicap, 'seven furlongs, aud despite the 9st lib tho little Kubroney mare can i-To'depended upon to run a good rose, as she is now at the top of.her form, ami tho o who saw her raco at Ueraldin* dee arc hat although tho margin between her and Sedu-cl-Bahr was not large, it could tave. been greater {"4 *« «tar wished Bollsbire, who made all the l mining in the Gera idino Oup, ™%W*" ■tn be nicely, weighted with 7st. 410. Merrio Lad list. 81b., will be weUmuted by the distance in the Waitangi SteepleXI- fiefdtlho TriarHato four fur.•long", does not appear to bo a strong one, and perhaps Canamana may prove the best of them. Several times last season the Menschikoß filly showed great pace over a short course, and at Oamaiui sho was runner-up to I'unka ill the two-year-old handicap. . , Tj„i nn i.i Amongst those engaged .in the BelflcM Handicap, five furlongs, is Eadial, who defeated, a good Held at Gera «>nc, and now has only 21b. more to cauy. Two of Mr\ 11. W. Brown's horses in •Wa mth and Livland arrivedj at Trentham yesterday, and in future they will bo "SlsXr'allCents' at the Waverlcy dam of Gold Soult, died recently at Porirua while foaling Tho foal, a chestnut colt by Bezon-. 17 tfc* Zealand Cup horses figure in the chief handicap event on th.e first day of the Wellington Kaeing Club ! s Meeting. Should the majorityof them go to the poßt, tho race will be very nstriictive, though it must not be.overlooked that tho winner will have to put un a 101b. penalty in the Kiccartoii event. Weights for tho Masterton Meeting are due on Friday, and acceptances close one W ltirrup te Oup (Eokehy-Tea Oup), who had so far not won a race, is to go south with tho other members of Mr. E, Acton Adams a team, and will raco in the Buncdin Guineas, in. which ho will be ridden ta .ll. Eeed. ■ -De Gama, who was a half-brother to Stirrup Cup, improved with age, and as the present member of tlioiamily is a good looking horse there is every reason to think that age will benefit him. An addition to the Porirua team lii b chestnut two-year-old colt by St. iciii, from tho Karamu-brod Choir Girl. The youngster is beautifully turned and looks like the making of'a galloper. He is owned by J. H. Proßser, who bred him. The Maliaki gelding Gwynne is'to m sent to the Masterton Meeting and wi raco in the Ladies' Purse, in which lie will bo ridden by Mr. J. M'Donald. On the second day of tho meeting Gwynne will bo a runner in tho HacK Hurdles. The track work at liandwick or Desert Gold Bbows that there is every reason to believo that this year the' champion will be as good as ever sho was. In somo quarters Davis was blamed for not giving her a race at tho Eoschill Meeting to fit her for the . Spring Stakes od.i Saturday, but there does not appear to be any good reason for this lino of argument, and it looks as if the mare will go out favourite in each of her starts at the .A.J.O. Meeting. There is a strong field engaged in tho Spring Stakes, including Biplane, but aa tho"last-named does not appear'to be at his best, he will probably bo allowed to remain in his box. Tho local trainer. If. A. Telford, will take one of his imported English fillies to the Masterton Meeting, and give her a raco in the Trial Plate. Idleness (Bezonian—Peace) will also make tho trip and race in the Juvenile Handicap on the second day. Fisher, Devotion, and 80-Pecp will also race at Opaki.
