SPORTING.

waVerley-waitoyarA,

Yesterday’s faceting bore out the .voids oi a recent pouticuiu-visitor to Jiese pittrcs that tne race is tor the privileged tew and not for me unprivileged many. It must not bo understood, though, that the ways of the .ainol'ed ana “stiff” horses which ,ported themselves on tAe windy course clown below were anything out

aoituay-nialung. It was a real nne.veather enjoyable day. The course is aandy to the line, and looking across .t as the held goes living or 'jumping n- bumping along, silhouetted by the jatk backgrhund of a long row of pm'us .nsignus, the scene was a picturesque one. And the wanghiiui Garrison gaud waited sweet music the white .ne guessers and the steady going follower of form hustled each ocher at die tote house, and afterwards gently missed their luck on the lawn. The crowd came mainly from far, though near was representative of this favoied farming district. Two long trains from -New Tlymtitith and Wanganui mid thousands on board, Stratford ueing strongly represented. r lwo .tinners hailed from here—Mr Newton king’s White Crane accounting ter the Brewer Handicap (a seven furlong eveht, in which the dies built mare had all her own way), and Mr G.
