MOTES BY "MOTUROA." (By Telegraph.—Special to tXews.) Bulls, Night. The wcr.lher has clenrrd a»d .promises to l.c tine for the concluding day «f 'be w ' 111 " ganui meeting. Accei)tance. : ; are satisfactory in all events and racing should be interestm Vasilkof. Ruddy, and 80-Peep are favorites for the Winter Oats, and the winn<X may cci.'tio from amongst that trio. Old Mungindi will be produced in the Graiu.str.nd Steeplechase, but v.'ill probably find Khartoum and Maractotara hard to give weight to over three miles. Master Boris and Pretty Bobby read well lu'tlio Rata Hack Hurdles, and Zola and Lord Nagar promise to show u;i in the May Hurdles. Rude \v:'.-s unlucky on Thursday, but may reverse positions with Marqueteur in the Empire Handicap. Both hack events have filled well, and Simon and Generalissimo will carry big money in these events. TURF TOPICS. (By "Moturoa.") Concluding day at Wanganui. The "headr." are saving up for Vasilkof. Mnrqueteur paid a great price in the Connr.lly Handicap. Rudo will carry our money nest time out. The starting at Wangauui was not Mr. Skipwith's best. . Tilley's cast-off, First line, won the Wanganui Steeplechase from end In end. Silent Dick fenced well on Thursday, but lacked pace In tho run home. Died in . New South Wales recently, Dugald Fruser, who used to race Evening, Kremlin, North East and other horses tn New s!eaWhen Polthogue fell half a mile from the finish of the Wanganui Steeplechase, ho was well llck'ed, but he should strip a fitter horse next time out. ...... „ Negambo carried lOlbs overweight In the Had: Hurdles on Thursday, and was going well when he suddenly baulked and threw It up. V* Bowden. the successful hurdle horseman drove Paddlngt™ Green along in fine st.vl# In the Kaitoke Hurdles, and Mr. Emmy's Cliafiiplon just scrambled home In front of Master Boris . 01(1 Sir Donald broke a long series of "outs" when he struggled home on level terms with Ngakanui ill the Hack Steeplechase. If Ward had brought the Taranakl horse along sooner there would have been no dead-heat. , \ lot of people thought that Rude won the Connolly Handicap, and Maurice McCarten was one of them. Marqueteur's narrow victory was mainly due to Gray's superbly timed run. It was only a question of inches. Coldstream struggled Into third place in the Century Hurdles, but Zeus and Lord Nagar were both well in front of Prnsser's prad when they came down at the last fence. Zola has nevor distinguished himself over a distaiwe, and half a mile from home In the Century Hurdles he was in distress. There will be a difforent tale to tell when he steps out oyer a mile and three-quarters. After Jumping at Wanganui on Wednesday morning Blllv Homes' Studemt collapsed In hlsftor,' and 'died shortly afterward*. Student was a black gelding by Harrow—Catchfly, but was a failure 011 the flat, though there were great expectations of his jumping rowers.
