Spenee, on Friday, the OtU'lust., at .j p.m. Mr. A. Gibbons had a stroke of bad luck recently, his Ihrre-year-old filly by Boniforni—Northern liosn falling into a drain and dying. The filly was broken in as a two-year-old and showed exceptional promise, but it was decided to give her every chiinco to develop and nor race her until she was a threp-year-old. She was to have ' jnineil the team of Mr. .1. Lambess shortly, ' and her loss is a pretty severe one for her I owner. The barrier was erected at the new mile post .it KlltM-slto on Katiirdny. and a number of tile two-year-olds were given startins practice, iheinj; allowed to run along tin;, back of the course proper for a furlong or two. The youngsters exercised were: Snnduyr. Praiseworthy. Graceful. Lucky I-oii. Shebang. Ray Delghton. Steel Bar f.ii Dot. Bachelor Girl, Owen, Just, and Bonny Canny.

Snowdon, Young Thurnham. and Hose Thurnh.tm will probably -be the only others saddled up to oppose the trio mentioned first, but the small field should ensure the three cracks getting a gi»d run, and the battle between them should be worth going a long way to see. THE AVONDAU; STAKES. ■With a final payment of .11 for the Avondale Stakes, and the majority of them Auckland-owned, it looks as if the club i would have some difficulty in dealing with | the position, but there is a possibility of a number dropping out before the day. engntred. Report-s credit one or two of the southern ones with being very smart, but as far as the local lot are concerned it can hardly lie said that any of them have really been seriously tested up to the present. The two-year-old parade at the Pnkuranga Hunt Club's Meeting on the 17th inst. may give some line as to the capabilities of a number of those engaged, and, in consequence, the parade is being looked forward to with considerable interest. THE NEW ZEALAND CTJ.P. An acceptance so early for the New Zealand Cup hardly gives an owner much opportunity to get an idea of the prospects of his horse over a two-mile journey, and it seems rather a pity that owners are called on to faco a forfeit ten weeks before the race. In the old days, of course, the position was different, but t"he conditions of I the event do not seem to have been altered nt all to suit the times, ami consequently those with liorses engaged are the sufferers. The lirst acceptance has hardly thrown much lisrht on the event, the only ones for wliicli the payment was not made being: Ininrll'liiin, Trespass. Cnll.ish.Tn. Royal ! Pox PrilK-o Fertraz, Rockfield. Toa Tana. I Mannearonsn. Lord Martian, Quarrelsome, and Five-eighths. AVONDAI.E JOCKEY CLl'B. WEIGHTS FOR SPRING MEETING.
