THE WELLINGTON CUP.
Appears very open, and some " real clinkers" are competing, all of which seem to have a show. But, to make it brief, I shall vote for — Orackshot . . ... 1 St. Andrew ... ... 2 Strephon or Dudu , 3 With JJoulanger to upset the calculation. - . '

[PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION". | Wellington, Jimaary 18. The racehorses Ixion, llutby, May, and Kosebud arrived from Lyttelton this morning to fulfil their engagements at the W.R.O, meeting. For the Wellington Cup Orackshot is favourite at 3 to I, Dudu being a point larger ; 8 to 1 Strephbn, 10 to Kotuku, 12 to 1 Oynisca. There is Jiowever, httle or no wagering. The uncertainty of Crackshofc being a starter, in view of important engagements in Australia, has caused backers to wait.
