Generally speaking, matters aic quiet in sporting circles, though there was plenty of speculation locally 'on the Egnxmt Meeting. The .weights are due to-day for the W'anganui Winter Meeting, also for the Great Northern Hurdles', and Great Northern Steeplechase, the issue of which is awaited with interest. Gyrene broke down when running prominently in the Telegraph Handicap on the first day of the Egmont Meeting. In the latest issue of the New Zealand Referee the statistics of the winning two-year-olds for the season 1904-5 appear, compiled by Pentagraph. Stepniak holds the premier position as ssre with eight winners, their winnings totalling £2053. Merriwee is second with seven, for £1605. followed by Multiform, five o'. his progeny winning £1605. St. Bill refeaied his Hawke's Hay performance by annexing another double at Egmont on Wednesday. The Taranaki cast off, Sandy, continues td pick up a race of two in the South Island and generally returns a good price. The Hon. J. colt Sir Tristram, winner of the Hawke's Bay Stakes, is highly spoken ofiby critics who witnessed his performance in that race. It is stajed' that the owner of Sir Geraint refused an offer of £SOA for the gelding last week. Mr Stead's Stepniak—Madder filly Munjeet is at the head of the winning two-yeir-olds for the season; 1904nfx Munjeet has won £1355, Mr Watt's King. Billy, by Merriwec —lndian Queen, is second' with £930, and Mr Stead's Sungod, by Multiform—Otterden, third with £752. Some capital values are attached to the races to be run at the Winter Meeting of the Otaki Racing Club, including the Ruakawa Cup, of £2OO one mile and a tpiarter ; the Huia Handicap, of !£l5O, one mile ; two or three £IOO events, and several well-endowed hack class races. Nominations for the various contests close on the 18th inst. One of the most remunerative rides during the recent A.J.C. Meeting was B. Carslake's on Famous in the Dohcaster Handicap. The race was run in 100 seconds, and Carslake is said to have received £SOO for it. A Wairarapa scribe s-tates that the syndicate owning Maniopoto was willing to give £I3OO for Sir Tristram, but the offer was not entertained. ASHBURTOX COUNTY R.C. WIN- . TER MEETING.
