THE AUCKLAND CUP.

The Weights Reviewed.

The A. R.C. handicapper did not take lons to make, known his adjustments for the Auckland Cup. The top weight is Master Delaval 9.4, and although the handicapper has ' taken no liberties with him, still I will look to him to perform creditably and will count on him as one of ' my selections. He knows the course well and will, be more at" home there than wihen away.

' There is a drop of a stone before Aye come to the next 1 horse on the card, which is Zimmerman, and . despite th^s. horse's victory m the Jubilee Cup, I will not .liave him m ..the .lpng two mi1e5 ........ . .. ■ ' ■^ari^ii'tu ; '7:r3,h"as''V : fp.ur pQunds v : less; than he '.'failed, with '■■■ a;t "Rjccartdri,. biit it appears ttiat we-have'^een-tife best of ;'the Castor geldins;,. and I will pass' him by. \ . .

Seal . Bock.,- Celtic .andr.Gazeley have each received 7. .7, •'with St.. Joe and Downfall one pound less. .None of this quintette appeal- to me.

'Of .the liffhtrwei.Ejh't .division,, Carl Rosa, Shr.apnel. and. Uenuku appear to be likely ones, but hone of the others look, to have outside chances.
