SPORTING. The Dunedin Cup.
[UY TULEGKA.PII — OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Auckland, Wednesday Night. "Hipponv" telegiaphs :— The race is ratner perplexing, but I will not bo surpiised if Vanguaid turns out to be the winner, although if Sou-wester runs out he will be hard to beat. There was a large ciowd at the rendezvous last evening, but not much business was done. Vanguaid was backed for a few hundred at G to 1, but backeio gave in before layeis. Lady Emma has .sensibly hardened in price, offers to take 100 to 15 meeting with no response. The Poet had backers at which price little was booked, the gelding leaving off at 100 to 5. Hippndamia was supported for a small .sum at 100 to 17, but after some fluctuations in price the odds went down to about the same figures. Dishy Grand could have been laid at 100 to 3, but the " books" would not lay the price. The following are the latest odds :—: — sto 2 agst Sou-wester 100 to 19 Lady Emma oto 1 Vanguard 7to 1 Nonsense 100 to 12 Tasman 100 to 12 Tim Whiffler 100 to 10 July 100 to 7 Hippodainia 100 to 5 Hazard 100 to 7 The Poet 100 to 4 Digby Grand Why Not and Welcome Jack are scratched for all engagements. The latter at 10.30.
