The Auckland Observer stales:—The suppressed excitement apparent in the demeanour of one of the passengers by last Monday's train from the King Country was easily explainable. On picking up the paper at a way station, he .had learned that Gladsome had won the race for the Newcastle Cup. To him it meant more than an ordinary piece of sporting gossip, for he hud in his pocket a ticket upon Gladsome in one of Tattcrsall's sweeps, and after allowing for all his hedging he landed a win of between £3OOO aud £IOOO. There is now a vacancy for another laborer in the railway co-opera-tive works.
