The entries nnd final acceptances, which closed on Thursday night, are nut so numerous as the value of the prizes would,

in most instances,: warrant. For the Maiden Plate, six horses have subscribed, iSpritsail and the Revoke colt being most fancied, Out of 89 entries for the " big event" only nine have paid up the final 5 sovs. Luriine and Calumny remain at the head of.affairs.' although a move has been

made in the direction of the Traducer colt, Templetnn, and Calumny, full sister to Gossip.. The St Kilda Stakes can on y boast of four competitors. Spritsail and Klfin King find most supporiers, it being supposed that Lurl ne-is not likely to start. Fur the Publican's Handicap, of 75 sovs.,eight horses will find their names on the card, Mabel being backed at 4 to 1 very heavily. ; Parawhenua is taken freely in the doubles, when conjoined with ; Lurline or C'alumny, at 18 to 2 ; and; Congreve

has been entrusted with all that can be got on at Bto 1. Old M alabar is backed to win'the Selling Race at 3to 1, and Blackbird has , been - introduced into: the quotations at 18 to 3. Mendicant is not without her supporters, and Prioress is touched at 12 to 2. For the Hurdles,

■'.Maid of the Mill is looked upon as a good thing, but those who.are 'best acquainted with the capabilities :ofMedora think 'differently. > Bismarckj: after his victory at Tokomairiro, is considered a safe investment, and 12 to 2 has been noted against ! Banjo's, chance. The Steward's Purse should be a very fast race if the four horses whose names appear compete. I am inclined -to think the running will be between Gossip and Calumny, the former being my pick, -' Paul J Dues'.—' 'Guardian.'
