The latest additions to the active workers include Purir'i Park, Karangapai and United, all of whom, have been spelling since last autumn. -The latest arrivals include Chief Link in charge of J. Brown, and Trouble and Commentator, in charge <>{' L. Knapp. Chief Link looks a.very.fit horse, and has thickened mit a good deal since last autumn. L. G. Morris has been engaged to ride him in both the Jellicoe and .the Dunedin Handicaps. He is a certain starter in the. Jellicoe Handicap, and, providing he conies through that race satisfactorily, lie will contest the sprint event later in the day. I/. Knapp's two horses also look in first-rate condition, and have evidently done a lot of work. They will probably be schooled over the steeplechase fences to-morrow. R. Miles will ride both these jumpers in their engagements at the meeting. Additional riding engagements are:—H. Dulieu, Lurina; R. McTavish, Corinax; 1 ,, . E. Baker, Catoma, Jewelled Girdle; A.
