Owners and trainers aro finally that acceptances for all events at the Rang!** tike! Hunt Club's meeting close to-night util 8 p.m. Foeman failed to realise the triumphal’ tour mapped out for him at the Napier andtt Hawke’s Bay meetings, and on Saturday went' wrong while contesting the June Steeples. Pavilion won a race each day at and in his third victory returned a remark-*, ably good dividend. Pavilion is a (•id bay gelding by Multiple—Fa.'lh, and season recorded four firsts, four seconds an<t two thirds in fifteen starts. Judging by the price paid by CrosswordC in the Turamoe Hurdles on Saturday, tho’ Kemball bracket (Mill o' Gowrie and Lord(l Nijj’ar) must have been a strong order. Crosswords is a useful daughter of All Black, but? lias been rather unlucky in tho past. She; would lose nothing by having the services ot* Aina McDonald in her races at Hastings. Mort Avis carried u .ot of Taranaki money* on Saturday, and although having to share first prize with Lord Astolat, returned sup# porters a fairly good dividend. Sturdee is picking up a number of good stakes for Mr. C. F. Vcllance, but his task. In the June Steeples was made easlqr by fivsd of his opponents cither falling or being pull-i ed up. Sturdee is an aged son of , and last season started five t’jnes. winning .hrice and being placed second twice.
