Ab Wellington Park Formo (dam of f.tma and Forme) has produced a brown filly to Hotchkiss. Mr Thomas Bell's Mantilla, who is on a visit to Blairgowrie, ha 3 dropped a chestnut colt to Blairgowrie. The novvs of the result of the V.R.C. Darby was received in Wellington by the Press Association's agentwibhin six minutes after Wallace had passed bhe post. This looks like very quick work, bub in MarbiniBenry's Melbourne Cup year the record Was still faster. The Chairman of the Pross Association issued special instructions in thab year bo the Melbourne agent to eond the name, ot the winner without waiting for second and third horses to be placed. By the payment of special rates the message took precedence of all others, and the name of the winner, MartiniHenry, waß flashed across to New Zoaland, and received in Wellington before the horses had pulled up.
Horse owners should bear in mind that nominations for the Takapuna Jockey Club Spring Meeting close on Friday night next.
