Pink Tu carried tin: same weight in f Hie City Handicap at Wellington as lie carried in tlie Telegraph on the lirst day and put up faster time than a Munjeet, winning comfortahly. On tli'c lirst day there were 130 ill- 1 vestments on Full ltatc in the six fur- a longs hack race, but on the second da,v. i ill a race run over the same distance, j the investments on (lie same horse totalled 731). It would he interesting to know the reason of this big (inference. Chatterer, who was so successful at the meeting, is a. live-vear-oid niare by St, Andrew.. Whisper. Te Kainui. winner of the Disposal Stakes, was submitl-d to miction after the race, and purchased by 11. Knox, the Opaki trainer. A Wellington writer states that in point of condition Achilles and Zimmerman stood out by themselves amongst the imrsc„ that'contested the Wellington Cup. iJevonin has proved herself to be a most consisted sc'j-ond place getter, and one of the most unlucky animals J.

It is reported that Colleen, by Gossoon—Miss .Vorali. broke down-rather badly while competing in 'the Kuapehu Hack Handicap on the lirst day of the meeting.
