Simonides, who has not bren a good paying proposition for the local owner, Mr. J. llarle, was caught in a generous mood at Tiikapuna yesterday, where ho annexed the Cautley Handicap, six furlongs. The opposition was noi: sli-oii},', and the return given was a poor one.

Bonctter w-as nll'ered for fa'.e before the C.J.C. Meeting for fiftOgns.. but no ono wanted her. Since then thoßonifnrm mare has won ,(.'570 in stakes, so that, her owner wns fnrtunale in having her left on his hands.
