In any case, however, the large number of nominations (fourty-four) for the principal race in the Colony is very gratifying. All the great stables are represented, and for quality and number of starters the field for the Dunedin Cup race of 1876 will probably far surpass those of previous years. In 1874 there were thirtynine entries and seven starters, and in 1875 thirty one entries and eight starters.
