THE WANGANUI MEETING.

The Autumn Msefcing of the Wanganuj T okev ub tftko3 P*aca on Tharsduy and jriday next). In the Cup, If mile, run on ning rfav> fc'lo Aucklandera, Fabulist a Anita aro engaged, while our boat two.rilds St. Foul and Armilla, will fight battles over again iv the Two-year-old SJbirteen have paid up for tho Cup. Rrooklst and L.-uly Zetland are at the top i ths Hs^i witn Bst llllj oppoeito their mes At these weights I Uko bosfe the It-named, who pulled off the recont Chriabchurch Midfummer Handicap with fiat 121b in tbo saddle, running the mile and half in 2min 58:»ec. MahaUi reads well 'iongh with Sst-lOib, but ho has been off lbs racecourse for tomo ciino, which inakea itdifficnlt to gauge his chance at this diatancefrom the scene. Howover, he was taken from Gisborne to Wanganui last neeki so that his connections must fancy hja chance. Fabulist failed to run up Iq his form at the TarauaUi meeting, which is attributed by hi* connections to a portion of tho cour.-e being in a very joufh state. The Auckland colt has we i»htoffhis back now, and he should run a great race for tho winning honour if ha is thoroughly himself. Tho Auckland Cup ff inner°Anita, is very favourably handicapped with 7at 41b. She is a genuine customer who c:m stay out the journey, and Kith such a- handy impost she Ghould give tho best engaged trouble, 'i'lie Castor mare teilainuab also have a chance. Altogether the race is open, bub I predict that Lady Zetland, Anita, and Fabulist will fight out the finish- To select one of the trio my vote g 033 to Lady Zetland. In the Two-year-old Stakes St. Paul has to (five Armilla 91b, which I think he ia capable of, for ho has s»ono on improving gjnceliis last o'Torts in public. With I2sb 121b the First Hurdles fihould go to Liberator, and Aoono should tana no end of boating in the Flying Handicap.
