TUB* TOPICS.

(By "Moturoa.')

A Southern paper reports that the Aampion three - year - old Elevation (trained kinuelt on Wednesday morning white being exercised on his owner's pnTate track, and consequently Jlr. Bidw ell's proposed trip to Australia with the Sea Francisco coll is "off." This is tod luck, lor the hone was in fine fettle, and his proposed meeting* with Mountain King were the subject of great Interest, but now it is extremely doubtful whether the colt will be able to race lor some time to come. 1 Moontaia King has been moving well te kit task* at Randwick in view of his autumn engagements, and amongst the Hew arrivals on tbe same course is the mighty PoeeiSon, who has been spelling for eome months. The latter looks fresh tad well, and may be expected to play a prominent part in the settlement of the Easter w.fju events. Waikaraka, MU arrived at Wellington on Wednesday evening. A heavy fog considerably hampered (mining operations at Trentham on .Wednesday morning, and nothing sensational was done in the way of gallops. Marguerite ran a mile in lmin 47V4sec, And flnMied welL Cold Crert, looking well, strode over a round without being extended. Moat* and Petticoat were associated in a mile gallop. Jumping off together, Petticoat made the pace warm for five furlongs, and then retired beaten, leaving Motoa to finish up the mile alone. Kauknku and Gold Thread did a mile on the tan. Btntagem went weU over a mile and •■half, and Fleetfoot, Red Bain, and obter Aane pnt up fair gallops separatefy over onee round. rPor farther notes see supplement]
