Royal Irish is moving in great st. ' at Kllerslie, and may be one of tlu toughest nuts to crack in the Taranaki Cup next month. A queer exchange is reported from Invercargill, the Treadmill horse Wharfinger being passed over for three draught horses. It isn't saying much for the draught*. It is reported that Reputation will not be called upon to race again this season.
