The bijj event is tho Trotting Cup of 200sovs,.and this event has excited interest all over the colony. A few condensed notes about the horses (jpgagcci will be interesting.

Myrtle (scratch) has proved herself a good, honest little mare. Clyde (scratch) hails from Nelson, and has proved himself a really first-class horse, winning a number of events from scratch, and in one case lasts season cutting oub 2h miles in t/he exceptionally fast time of 7min 6aec.

NeJUs (15sec) has repeatedly proved hersolf a good one iji Auckland.

Ifc is stated that vrheu suq rao at Hawke's Bay with 65sec she wa; looljed upon as a 'moral, but had the misfortm>e to loije'a aUoo in tho race and finished unplaced.. i > uh'oi (Gosec) ig only a pony, and is by Fitz-Jarnes from Nellie.

To sum up, 1 will recommend my readers to favour fche -chapces of Corina, .Hurricane, Brandy, or Clyde in that order, with Ruadarii to'up.sefcthe pot. Corina may win tha flakier) Trpt, with 2Tapier and Tha Broker next best. The Plyiny Stakes should go to Silkworm, and the Pony Cup to Red Rose or Vampire. Lady Onslo-.v may win the Hurdles, and Tyrone or Maud S. the Handicap "Trob. The Pony Trot looks a trial of strength between Maud S. ancTMyrtle.
