RANDOM NOTES. j n I By •' Alotukoa, '; ii J. George's team, Cyrano, Confide n aud Somali, were not so successful, v Cyrano was made a warm favorite for f the Cup. but was beaten by Rosea], g Cyrano was not started on the second 0 day. Somali found the opposition too v strong in the Borough and Cardiff V Stakes. Confide proved the stake- c earner for the stable. The Papakura j mare was conceding everything a - stone in the Cardiff Slakes, but the < issue was never in doubt. Somali, her f stable-mate, started favorite on tlie i machine. i Maniapoto has been allotted 'J.U in ' ! the Doneaster Handicap, and 8,10 iu ' the Sydney Cup. | King Paul, the gelding by St. Paul , from Coalscmllle, won a treble at Wai- , uku last Tuesday. , Hippowai, the hurdle racer, is being prepared for the Winter Meetings.
