The following are to-night's quotations for the New Zealand Cup : — 4 to 1 agst Freedom, 5 to 1 Craokshot and Cynisca, 6 to 1 Blizzard, Flinders, and Cajolery, 7 to 1 Cruchfield. The training tracks at Biccarton were occupied at a very early < hour this morning, and Cutts commenced by sending Cruchfield, Von Temp'sky,. 1 Eros, and Regina at a steady pace over a couple of - miles. St. Andrew North Atlantic, Thame, Queen of Trumps, StrephoD, and Bosefeldt, who arrived from the North yesterday, and are all looking well, we«e confined to tte 'easiest exercise. ' Freedom, Flinders] Florrie, and Tassy cfid half-pace work, but Freeman was taken along fast, and performed yery satisfactorily. Cracksliot has wonderfully im^ proved during the last few days. ' ; * - " x Just for the moment Crackshot, Cyniscs and Whakawatea are the horses mostin'"'favour at Biccarion. ; A Melbourne correspondent' says that Correze as the good tiling in the Mel-" _ bourne Gup, but P.aris is the local fancy.
