SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

“ Sinbad,” writing to the * Press ’ says Our Metropolitan Meeting promises very well. The Bush Inn and Yaldhuist stables have already numerous inmates. Mr Redwood's string of two-year-olds remains here for the winter, and with Hercules, Guy Fawkes, and some youngsters to arrive in the spring the jpeat northern team will be unusually strong, led Cutta will remain here in charge, and Dick Mason goes back to work the home team. Bob £ ay l,^ ables will be. I hear, well filled, and " I ? en » with old Tam aid Lough Neagh, will be alsoto the fore. It is also likely that George Cutts may pay us another visit with I arawhenua and Ngaro ; and I hear that it is fdso highly probable that the great Papapi th^ 8 biDl ™-ll enough, form one of the team. IVhat Mr Walters may have instore I cannot say, but he will surely have something to bring down. Rome of Mr Lunn’e young ones will, I also understand, also be in work.. Though the present season is unfavor

able for the “pencillera by the way/’ some specnLUon has already taken place. For the Canterbury Cup, Castaway, King Philip, the Waimea and Phoebe colts, have been installed even favorites at about 6 to 1, and Templeton is also supported ; but both in his case and in that of Castaway, the probability of thenrunning. for the Melbourne Cup makes their supporters rather coy. For the Derby the Waimea colt is most in favor. He has been backed pretty freely at 100 to 15. Daniel O’Rourke, the Chief-, and Puugawerewere have also been touched at 100 to 10.
