Taking advantage of "the* weather, the caretaker (Mr.-C. Hill) -has. started .cutting the grass on -the' coarse ='■ proper, and this wllH let the' sun get to. the turf, so that a week or se of fine weather should make a wonderful difference to the racing track. Notwithstanding the quantity of rain that has fallen during the past few months, the. Papaknra course is in splendid order, and driving around It on Wednesday- last, In company with Mr W. Walters, one could hot imagine that it was raced -as. recently as last Saturday; in fact, Fashionable had galloped on -it an hour or. so before .our visit and his marks were hardly discernible. 'If Papaknra "had a totalisator permit, the course would probably, be made one.of-the heat, in the colony. Private -." information received In Auckland states that the, Wanganul Jockey Club have taken no; further action in regard to- the allegations brought against the well-known.-horseman, G. Jenkins. The stewards of the same club reported a rider to the Auckland' Racing Club, and his license has been cancelled during the, pleasure of the committee. The Clnl), In Jenkins' case, must surely have had something more before them than what has been made public, as their action in connection with the Auckland rider seems to point to the fact that they'are determined to deal severely with misbehaviour, and in justice to all concerned. ■-■ the fresh evidence ought, to be made public. The weather was beautiful for tralnlnoperations at; Eilerslie this morning but nothing outside the ordinary work which was all done- on the sand, was witnessed Carl Rosa ;ha.d Lures as a companion over a mile, the* last seven furlongs' of which was run.;..ln 1.35.

PERFORMANCES OF CUP CANDIDATES. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) CHBISTCHTJ RCH, Friday. A lot of Interest was taken in the spring meeting of the North Otago Jockey' Club by reason of several of the-New Zealand Cup candidates claiming engagements at the fixture. Buccleuch, Harvest, Astrakhan, Lapland," Fandango and Outlander -were -aU seen out In the North Otago Cup. The race was of such' an unsatisfactory nature as to throw a little light on their prospects In the big lilccarton race. Unfortunately Blvthemaid got entangled in the tape.at the start, and she galloped the whole Journey With It trailing behind, her. Seeing the risk they, ran, severat;-'jockeys endeavoured'to'rid the mare or tne encumbrance, but to r.o purpose, and as Blythemald was with her field for nearly half a mile. It was a marvel that no'"accident occurred..: . Buccleuch, as usual, got .a good position at the start, and led throushout, winning comfortnhly by a length and a half from Lapland, which- only settled the pretensions ot Astrakhan in the last rew strides. There was not much merit fii Bucleuch's- win,..for every-thlnc-was made, easy for him. He looked particularly fit, and finished'up Us task.in a.workmanlike style; still he is hot a boy's horse, a-nd has yet' to prove his ability to go the-Journey in anything like-good company.' Mr. - the owner of Bnccieuch, was not present to witness the victory of his representative, having arrived back from a tr'.D to Sydney Just too late to catch the Southern, train. Lapland ran a fair race, and showed to much more ad-vantage-than in any of his recent displays. He. is still susceptible to considerable. improvement, but even, so can have "little I chance of- turning the tables •on Buccleuch. Astrakhan was the. unfortunate, horse of the field. In the horn* stralcht he put In a fine effort, but after getting to Lapland at'the distance, faded away again in. the j last few strides. Little notice need be taken of-his defeat, but ah the same, from the manner in which he compounded,' I don't faincy his chance of running out a strong two; miles. Harvest loked a physical wreck after-the race, and is all : to pieces, while Mr. Gngg's pair. Fandango a-nd Outlander. ran so Indifferently as to suggest their being quite out of.- place in, ■ such a race as the New Zealand* Cup- •'.":'■•; .;..,. ... The Stepnlak Stakes served to introduce to public notice "two'smart two year olds in Discipline by * Treadmill, from Madowia and Sir Artegal,- son of Stepnlak and Britomart, both. of. whom were, making their racing debut. It was a splendid contest between the pair, and the way Discipline wore the. colt, down in the last few strides stamped her as a good one. She is a'big, well developed filly, resembling' her hair ■brother Quarryman in appearance, and when quite ready to race, should be capable of holding, her 'own with' the best of her age. Sir Artegal ran- a fair race, but was much more forward than his conqueror, while of the other starters Coroneila, the daughter of Stepnlak and" Coronal," and My L/awyer, a handsome'black colt.by Blackstone from Emmellne, should prove the best. Discipline Is the first of Treadmill's' progeny' to race and secure classic honours in a first venture. Tt was no mean performanse. The highly fancied Steward's Handicap candidate, In-i-lcneux, .made short work "of : the opposition In the Flying Handicap, leading'from start to finish, and winning in most convincing style. She, appeared decidedly sore after the race, and her trainer will have difficulty in keeping her up to the collar for the Metropolitan meeting. ' Fit and well,, she vrt)uld have a great chance in the Stewards' Handicap, for she is a particularly smart beginner,' and can muster up a lot of pace. On the second day of' the : meeting Buccleuch enhanced his future prospects,-; considerably by carrying his 10.5 to-victory in the President's Handicap,: just as easily as he had prevailed on the.opening day. This time'there was no excuse for Astrakhan or Blythemaid, as there was no interference, and the.race was run entirely on-its merits, though the.-tlme, lm. 44sec. may not be particularly /Smart. When it is remembered that Buccleuch carried lOst 51b.', and won with' the greatest ease after finishing the last furlong up ; the hill, the grit of his performance is enhanced. Astrakhan, Fandango, and Outlander ran most disappointingly, the first-named in particular falling :to show any form sufficient to recommend film as a likely Gup candidate. The,only withdrawal of note from the Kew Zealand' Cup, when the acceptances were declared, was that of Seal • Kock,- which leaves, Yaldhurst without a representative. Disquieting, rumours concerning Gladsome's half-brother have been In. circulation for some time", -and • evidently- there-'ls some •foundation for them, . <-.'. .'...'; -; >:' •
