As In previous years the privileges of tlie A.R-C. meelings for the season 1904-5 ■will be offered for sale, and are advertised to be sold by aucticta on Tuesday next at noon by Messrs A. Buckland aud Sons at the Haymarket. Tb death of Enfilade is reported from Castcrton, Victoria. Enfilade was a brother to Nordenfeldt, and was only tuodTately successful at. the sturl, but it may be paid in his favour that he did not have anything like the chances that came In ihis brother's way. Two boxes have been eugaged at the Harp of Erin Hotel ou behalf of Sir E. .7. "Watt, bo it is evident that that gentleman intends to be represented at the A.R.c. •Spring Meeting. Boomerang and Submarine are the pair mentioned as his representatives. After tho Wellington and Dunedin meetJngs mid the declaration of further payment for the New Zealand Cup, we. are certain to see. a pretty large defection from the list, but It Is not unlilely. that 16 or 17 may staud their ground unless Mr Stead should leave more than a brace still in. The Wellington Racing Club should have a good meeting. The course was dry and In good order ou Tuesday, and the presence of horses from nil parts of the North Island and many from the South gives the meeting a thoroughly interprovlncial character. There will be quite si number of horses well hacked for the Wellington llnuUlcap, the chief event ou the programme. yesterday afternoon at Bllerslie Xgaru, TJp-to-Date and Peter Simple were sent about two miles and a half over the steeplechese fences going over the hi.

Promptly to time, Mr Evitfs adjustments for the two principal handicap events on the opening day of the A.R.C. Spring Meeting made their appearance. Taken, on tlie whole, the handicap is a good one. and there is not. much fault to be found, with it. Romeo, who hns been ehoseu to head the list, with 8.10, has earned *tvcry ounce hp has been given, and should run prominently. Locb Erue. S.!t, has also been given a great chance, but Shrapnel, 5.7, might have esc.'iped- with a few pounds less, and his performances of late have been very moderate. Marshall Soult. 8.6, Seotty. 8.3, Idas, SO, and Durable. 8.0, are nil nicely placed, as are Hinetaura, 7.12, and Avalanche. 7.11. Strathavon, 7.'.1, has got oft lightly, and to my mind is one nf the picks of file handicap, but in placing Dunmore on the 7. 'J mark, I think Mr Kvltt has been a trifle harsh; he evidently has a high opinion of this colt, which may or may uot be justified. Muskcrdaie, 7..5. if he gets to the post sound, may prove one of th>_- hardeat to heat. Mr Evitt is taking no risks with Putty, mid he will have to improve on his displays at the A.R.C. Winter Meeting to have a chance with 7.8. Of those lower down the list, Delania, 7M5, Waipuna, 7.3. and Idusu, 6.10, are a trio I like best, and taken right through, the winner will probably come from the following ha'.f dozen: Loch Brno, Marshall Soult, Seotty, Strathavon, Muskerdalc, and Idasa. lv the Manukau Hurdles, Mr Evitt has not. to my mind, been so successful. Up to Date, who was in pride of place with 11.0. was very harshly treated, and h" was withdrawn almost immediately on the publication of the weights. Hippowai, 11.5. Cavalry, 10.7. ami Trumperj-, 10.0, all read ■well, and among the lighter weights Geologist, 0.5, and Uolf, 0.3, look the best.
