Lcxs Angelosi, Lady Lucy, ,G<uuroboat •and iMJidfnag'ht iSiwi have all made livt payments, but as itihis quartette ,'s at present in- Australia, :and are nominated for somie valuable engagements, i't- iiisi quite possible, vvihen. filial payments beoanre due they 'wiiili be found missing. Menrivoaiiiia, 6 years, Bst 21b.— Although isilie failed to see the distianice out two years ago, .sdn& is a mare that lliias vastly improved during the. last (twelve months. Her victories in l the Maaiiawatu Oup, 1£ males, imd'eir Bst 31b, iß;ungi,tLkei Oup, miles, under Bslfc 31b, and AVian gamin Cup, l-J milesi, under Bst sJib, we three sterling (performance®. Shie may be regarded as nicely placed, and will lilave the isarvdoes of tlhait capable horseman, A. Olivier. Gtold&ider, 4yrs, Bst, is a colt that is ait .present favourite in, tilie betting. Hi® beslt- performances lia:st yew •were Ms iseoanid to Dawufoe 'in the Great NortJieim. Derby, 1J miles, um.der Ssft 101b; second to Danube in th© Auckland Pilate, l£ iniiiles, under Bst; and isecond to Wairmangu, in the Auckland Cup, two miles, under 6st 7£llb. He Asi 'by San; Fran—Dazzle, and is therefore full brother .to that ismiaisfoer, Oaliifornda.

There are several meetings ito he 'ran yet before the New Zealand Cup is decided, .and no doubt isome of 'tine candidates 'will foe incurring penalties.
