Thomson in the saddle, was sent over the schooling hurdles on th« Inside at Ellerslie this | morning. Ho took the first fence splen- i didly. but came down on his knees at the second, his rider making a wonderful recovery.

H. Mcsweeney of Trentham, is reported to itave been engaged as -first emergfor a favoured candidate in the hi? steeplechase. No confirmation of this has been obtainable.
