WELLINGTON SPORTING NOTES. WELLINGTON, February 3. This morning Messrs Walters and Vallance's horses worked on the beach. Mr Walters was present and gave Hippo and Libeller a sharp canter of a mile and a half, after which both started together to gallop the same distance. Hippo pulled over tbe colt all way, and finished three lengths ahead, going in good form as far as could be seen. The weights were the same as in the Handicap. Lara had two gallops of a mile and a half, with Templeton finishing a length ahead each time. Hailstorm did a steady two miles in clothing on the course. Norseman did two miles in 3min. 54j0c., and Magnolia in 3 min. 57sec. Chancellor went a Cup course with Laertes, the former coming home well in front. Soukar went a threequarter speed gallop of two miles. York, Sinking Fund, and Pinfire are unlikely starters. The betting to day is brisker than usual. 200 to 80 agst Foul Play (tk) 300 to 60 agst Lara (tk) 100 to 10 agst Laertes (tk) 100 to 12 agst Hippo (off) 100 to 14 offered against Templeton, 100 to 10 wanted, 100 to 6 anything else, bar Chancellor, whose price could not be settled, but about 100 to 12 offered. "Vigilant" in the "Post" tips Hippo and Lara, with Hailstorm and Soukar for places.
