White's colt retained third plaoe for a mile, but died away at the finish. Time, 2min 12 1 -sth sec. „, ■ ? The Sportsman considers that yesterday's running disposes of Kirkham's chanoe for the Derby. Mr J. Wilson took Pyramus through to Wanganui by this morning's train to Compete in the Hack -Bace to-morrow. No doubt the horse will giva a good account of himself, although he is short of work,, the recent rain making the local course rather heavy. ♦' Nemo," of th© Sydney Mail, thinks Hilda badly treated- with Bst lllb injbhe Birthday Cup. He says in last Saturday's notes — "Though New Zealand horses are always welcome to our shores,, the deeds performed by Carbine, and the lesser lights, Paddy, Cinderella, &c., seem to have left a lasting impression, for here we find Hilda, only a moderate .performer at best, placed within 81b of Sir William, and required to concede a couple of | pounds to such a daisy as The Queen." ; He selects The Queen, Bst 91b; Marvel, | Bst ,71b;. Golden Crown, 7st 51b;and 'Highborn, 6st lllb as' tb^e best four in it.
