TI'KF TOL'J OS. J (By "Moturoa"). | Wellington Cup to-day. Foxton races on Monday. Subterfuge lias gone amiss. Rajput is very fit at present. Nanna will see a.short price to-day. Some people are saving up for Revocation at Foxton. Hymestra is stated 16 be an unlikely runner at Trentliam. Ayah, who is very fit, will be started in t|ie Trial Plate to-day. Most punters will l)e tryfng to multiply their coin in Cup. Ln Tasse, who figures in the Wellington Stakes, has been dead and buried some time. Such a quick beginner as Killowen must liave a chance in one of the sprints at Trcntham. Almoner and 80-peep promise to make good time in the Wellington Stakes this afternoon. The local watch-smasher, Silver Link, has been daintily treated at Takapuna. Palm Oil, who .won a double at Hastings, is by Maniapoto—Largesse, and was bred at Bushy, Park. The veteran Merton, who cost his present owner a "tenner," won five saces at the West Coast meetings. " Down in Palmerston the canines are barking Sir Fisher for a "snap* at, Foxton. If Revocation Was not sueli a bad traveller, he would have to be reckoned with in the chief sprint at Foxton. Local horses took off most of the "plums" at the West Coast meetings, leaving the visitors to sell their neddies and walk home. Some are still walking. Nobleman will be ridden by Harold Young in the Wellington Cup, but the class may be above the Manawatu Cup winner's capabilities. The Hagerty family is noted for stousli, and one of the number, Jockster L. Hagerty, got oil' lightly when the lteefton stew-hards only fined him £2 for "cracking" a youth. Fred Tilley will luive Coolpan, Rude and 'Cello running at Foxton, and the trio slu>uld show up well. The Taranaki Jockey Club is to be congratulated on the excellent quality of the horses entered for next month's meeting, and the gathering is likely to attract visitors from all parts of the Dominion. The fifteen engaged in the Taraimki Cup include Chortle, Toa Tere, Vagabond, Sir Ralph, Housewife, Mullingar, etc., and in tho principal sprints are such good performers as Nystad, Koesinn, Lord Kenilworth, Innh and Interlude. The minor events have filled well, the fields ranging from thirteen to thlrty-thrpfi, am] taking it ftll round, Taranaki sports are in for some splendid sport. Mr, H. Coyle's weights are due on .January 28. A. Ward, New Plymouth hurdle horseman, has been engaged to ride ttaekwar at Foxton,
