Tin'sriacos, w lnch conic oft to-inouow on tlio com so .it ( Jwynnel.uids, pioniiso, if we aio to iudge fioni tho acceptances found below, to constitute, one (tf the best meetings Waikato has had foi some time past. The only mattoi of question now is tho weather, w lnch for the past week has been exceedingly unfavouiablo ; but it has "veiy appeal ance of having spent itself, .md wo in. iv theiofoio leasonahly expect a hue da} foi to-inouow. Should tin's be accoi ded, we ha\e bttli' doubt that the attendance v> ill not only conic up to the most s.ingumc expectation, but will include lepie^utatnr,i fioni all pa.it-> ot the Waikato <'i >tnct. No do. ilit tho tuif will be uuconifoifcahly heavy in places, but this cannot to any gieat extent ni.u the success of the lacing. Tin- couiso foi some time ]).iit has pii',cuted a\eiy businesslike appeaiance dining the lnoinmys, withhoises doing 1 then gallops •md iviKiw inif ones soiting out the hkelies for the eoiiiiu<, r contests.

Theie weie only two nomination* foi the Maide.i Plate, Uiill's Kye and Linda, but us the lattei has gone slightly lame, Hull's Kyu \\ ill ha\e a walk moi foi thu money. Tin 1 secictaiy leccivud from ]\lr J'eieiv al on Saturday night, a nomination fin Mi Ate-Kinnoifs T.upoiiii foi this i ace, but if this entiy was nt>t i ecu vert in Auckland by the 12th inst., of couisi> it cannot now be enteitiiined. Aw he has been .sent to .Mi lVienal enquiiing the exact time when the entry was leceived, but up to yesteiday evening no leply had conic to hand. The follow ing are Thk Acckitanci's.

The bu.sines.s i)coi)le of Cambiidge ill doubtless oli >oi\e to-nioi low a.s a holiday— at least will close their pieniisos at 12 o'clock, to afford their employes an oppoituuity of attending the races. As usual, ill Caitei will inn conveyances between C.unljiidge and the lacecouisc, for the accommodation of the public. Some little betting ha.s been tiansactml at Canibiidge over the meeting. Irishwoman is the most fancied foi the Cup, and has been pi etty well backed foi the event. Dewdioi) and Luckpenny have also lieeu fancied, and Welcome Davy is looked upon as the most likely outsider. For the Huidles, H.ukavay is paiticulaily fancied, and the Steeplechase is' cons'ideied a certainty for either Chandlei or Haikaway. ■with Kpoitsmau as the most likely outsider.
