RACING.

Cijristchuech, This day. The only alteration in the. betting at Tattersall's last night was a desire to lay against Sou-wester for the. New Zealand Cup, 100 to 11 being offered. Nelson advanced to 100 to 15, and Ike to 100. to 12. Johnny Falkner was backed at 100 to 8, and then advanced to 100 to 10. The only alteration in the Derby betting was a seeming desire to lay against Black Rose, 100 to lo being offered. A sharp easterly wind made the morning extremely cold, but a fair amount of work was done. Necklace went three miles steadily coming home fast, and Nelson accompanied by Waipiti covered two circuits at quarter pace. Black Rose and Water King had a strong three-quarter pace gallop for two miles, the former apparently having the best of it. Tim Whiffle* did half pace work for two miles when FuWier joined him and th c pair came home a mile last. The Poet and Minerva had a strong two mile gallop, and Rubina went twice round at three quarter pace. Marion and Ruseeley went a mile steadily and came homej a mile fast. Iko, Sir Bedcvere, Oarlton, and Puck went a mile steadily and then did a rrnlo at three quarter pace. Johnny Faulkner and Tasman sweated three times round, and July and Sou'wester also had a serviceable sweat ovarfour miles. The Hon. George McLean's string consisting of Rubizanal, Lady Emma, Lady Evelyn, and .Lady Gertrudo arrived safely last night.
