THE WELLINGTON MEETING.
]fest Saturday the Wellington Racing dul) held the 'first day's racing of their Summer Meeting when the Cup will come up for decision. The final payment shows that seven remain in .the event, The Guardsman having declined his engagement. Although St. Paul had a terribly longh passage clown, advices received from Wellington state that he is none the worse. I still fancy that he will win. He is to be ridden by J. Sceats. The newly instituted race, the Wellesley Stakes, will also be decided on Saturday. Mr Stead promises to carry it oft' with Conqueror. For the Anniversary Ha.ndic.ap I like Zanella, the lordle Race iuay- go to Dante, and the Jiursery Handicap to Tigress. In the President's Handicap Target and Goldleaf must be dangerous, while Firefly or Chasseur may get home in the Telegraph Handicap.
