The Auckland Welcome Stakes and Great Northern Guineas were an exact repetition of the .Avondale Welcome Stakes and Avondale Guineas, as far as the winners were concerned, for Informal and Vagabond accounted for the respective races at each place. Informal at Auckland, as at Avondale too, was followed home by Ilineamaru, which filly seems clearly the ■ second best of the Auckland two-vear-olds. Rathlin, which was second to Vagabond in the Avondale Guineas, was third in

the Auckland contest, second place in the latter being filled by Bingham, which was not engaged in the Avondalo race. Teka has not been long this season iu winning as much stake money as he secured the whole of last season. His win in the lletropolil.au on Saturday is his most important victory to date, and he put up a time record for the race, in fact I think it is the first time 2min M.'Jsec has been beaten at Iviccarton. However, time-making was quite the order of the day at Riccarton on Saturday, for Birkenvnte is credited with having sprinted the six furlongs in lmin 11 l-ssec. If Birkenvale did this with S.G then Acre and Lingerie, who are both apparently superior to hi mas sprinters, must be what is I slungily called "hot stuff."
