SPORTING.
A sporting contributor writes In the racing match at the Park racecourse, Majestic, who was favorite, looked lusty and big, whilst his opponent, the chestnut, Mangamahaki, gave the appearance of being somewhat too fine for the jouruey to be traversed. Of course, in a race of this kind, the start is nothing, each rider being willing, with his horse well in hand, to allow a get away. This was done. Majestic, well ridden by Noble at about 10.0, seemed for a moment or so to have a mortgage on the stakes, but, and this but is of continuous occurrence, for young Steve Malone, whose name the writer ventures to predict will be heard of with high praise in the future.
