NOTES BY "MOTUROA." Matters in connection with the New Zealand Cup have been practically at a standstill during the pasli couple of weeks, all interest having been centred in the doings of the New Zealand horses in Australia. As the result of Nightfall's, easy victory in the. Handwick Plate, she was supported . for all money available at 100 to 12' and is now quoted at H to 1. The following arc the latest quotations on the race :—6 to 1 Nightfall, 9 to 1 Achilles, Mahutonga and Noctuifofni, 14 to one Quarryman, Scotty, Paritutu, Melodeon, and Sungod, i 6 to 1 Buluwayo, 20 to 1 Ghoorka and Golden Knight, 25 to 1 Gold Crown and Calibre, 33 to 1 Jean d'Arc and Boomerang, 40 to 1 Armistice, Veneer, and Probable, 50 to 1 Tirolc, Probable, Mystification and St. Joe, 06 to 1 Convoy, Nonet te, General Symons, Apollodoris, Douche, Beau Sea ton, and Blythemaid, 100 to 1 Black ' Reynard, Joe Chamberlain, Sweet Helen and Ability, 1-20 to 1 Gay Spark and Stepdanccr, 250 to 1 Clanburn, 300 to 1 King's Birthday. Sweet. Alice, winner of the first two-year-old race of the season, is a bay filly l;y. Soult from Princess Alice. She is therefore full sister to the speedy pony Avalanche. Mignon, who acted as runner up, is also a Soult, the dam being Lady Kmmcline. Mignon scored in the Nursery Handicap on the dav of the meeting. At Avondale last Saturday Deelev rode four winners out of five mounts namely, Trephine, Sweet Alice, Putty, and Marisa.

Marisa, winner of (li 0 First Pony Handicap at Avondalc, is a four year old mate by Cvrenian out of Mantilla, and is owned by the Hon. H'. Mossmaii. Marisa appears; to have scored very er.sily and should repay watching in future engagements. C. Milieu has a large team of horses in training at Normanby. lUosi of them arc looking very well. The stable shelters the stectly SI. Claimer, who lias wintered well, and is now doing fast work, also a promising looking brown colt—Nugulihi by Days tar from a Fotilshot mare. lioth the above arc entered for the WangatHii meeting, but Milieu informs me owing to wet weather lie has not Ix'cn* iiMe to give them sufficient work and it is not likely they will make the trip. The old veteran Reclaimer is again in work. He, is paddock trained and appears perfectly sound, and rightly placed may pick up another stake or two this season. Milled has a nice, filly by St. Clements from Marie (full sister to Lady Clements-). A, Sylvia-Park—Kai-iwi Lady filly, St. : Paul—Thelma colt ami a St. Paul— ! Kohina filly are at present beinr/ hacked /iciout. Taken all round the team arc looking in perfect health and reflect great credit on their painstaking trainer.

The New Zcalanders' winning record at the Australian Jockey Club's meeting was thirteen out of'twentyfour events. The total amount, won in stakes Ijy the Ncvf Zealand hors"s was £,tM4(i Mr 0. (i. Stead's* share is £3F't?o' and the syndicate owning Manlapolo draw £2222. It is* reported that offers of £200(1 and £3OOO were made for Maniapoto after his win in the Metropolitan Handicap, but were not entertained by the owners. The | name of Gawl-ev has been c aimed by Mr K. J. Walt for the three year old English bred colt by tneyleg from Lvcea. A two year old filly l:-v San Fran from Nymph, is reported to he showing great promise in her work at Mr A F Douglas' Tc Maltanga station. r. Hi'ggot took two horses Hvdraut and Togas, to the Rangjtik'ci meeting, both of whom earned a winning bracket, returning substantia!dividends !0 f £9 fj s .. a nd'£9 12s Black Reynard will .be.seen cut at the Wnnganui Spring meeting.
