A feature of the.Geraldine meeting yes teruay wis.the success of the Yaldhurst horses Orange Bitters and Starland, both of whom were well fancied for their races. - Starland is eugaged | in the, Now Zealand Cup. and is one of the well, fancied division.. , . Some surprise was expressed when Gay Lad was not'started in the Geraldine Cud. The imported horse has not had a race since he ran second in the C.J.C. Great Easter Handicap, and if he is to succeed in the New Zealand Cup he will requiro some'racing to fit him for the two-milo journey. -. Parnoa. winner of the Geraldine Cup, was generally.' regarded as the blot of the handicap, but he gave a surprisingly good return yesterday, principally because he had been working baoly on the tracks, and any horse that went with him invariably beat him. The Riveriim which sailed for Sydney last- eveniug had on board a big con(inirent. of New Zealand .sportsmen who are anxious to be present at the A..T.C' meeting, which opens''at Eandwick on Saturday of next week. Amongst, those on board were Messrs. AV. Richmond and J. Harris, of Hastings, and Mr. .1. C. Gleeson. of Auckland, i Chatting with Mr. Hiclimond v before the boat left, bo tohi the writer that G. Jones would move lite team on to Caulfiold after tinsecond day of the Raiuhvick fixture. Despite the defeats of Golden Bubble, .he still had hopes of the Absurd colt wimiinz tho A.J.C. Derby, as ho had received a cablegram after the liosohill Guineas was run, stating that the cheslniil. had finished' very stoutly. As 11.
