Acceptances for the Napier Park meeting close to-morrow night. The Te Arolia meeting concludes today. Jockeys R. Reed and J. Olsen both assisted at the Akaroa meeting on Saturday, but neither managed to ridj a winner. The Marlborough meeting opens on Wednesday, and will be concluded on Friday. The Napier Park meeting will be held on Friday and Saturday. The Riccarton light-weight jockey, C. Emerson, was married a few days ago to Miss Stewart, daughter of Mr. M'Connell Stewart, of iSockburn. The young couple intended to leave last week for England, but the popular horseman has again been seriously indisposed, so that the English trip has been postponed. Owners should note that entries for all events at the Wairarapa meeting close to-night. A great contest is taking place for leading position among New Zealand racing sires this season. With three months racing disposed of, it looked as ’f Deinosthe ies would have no difficulty in lepeating last season’s success. Latterly, l.cwqver. Martian and Absurd have both done better than, the Desmond horse, and at the beginning of last week ihe figures of the three were as follow:—Martian, .£16,446; Demosthenes, Absurd', J 114,260. No New Zealand owner can claim a monopoly of the big stakes this season, an<l it is not easy to predict who will held the list of winning owners when the season closes. Up to the b:gi.T.'.i:ng of last week the Douglas Estate had won JJ6B4P, Mr. G. D. Greenwood £6765, M -. W. G Stead £6300, Mr. A. B. Williams £sl'lo. Sir George Clifford £5341, Mr. G. L. Stead £4830, and Mr. R. Hannon £4785.

Foe Chow, who had a very long run of bad luck earlier in the season, when he filled minor places eight times cn end, has now won three races in suicission. His success in the Peninsula Cup on Saturday brings his total stakes up to £lll5, and the half-brother to De Gania premises to add to this before the eeas< n ends.
