The dlequaUfieafciea d Mount was made on the grounds that Mc performances were not sent in with nomination, and it was proved to tfe Committee's satisf action from the evident taken that the horse had trotted at Be?s3 small meetings. There has been some wagering on tk New Zealand Cup during the laafcfo* days.

Both youngsters came in for a lot of attention. Qrestek h & Sao big colt, but plain-looking. He io deScleai in the middle piece, and rather on the leg, but he is just the kind to furnish Into & first-class three-year-old. Judging by tba careless way the colt walked round the paddock he is of a very slaggiab temper* ment, and there is a lot of the character* isticsof his sire, Nordenfeldt;, about hfto, Orestes is a splendid mover when extended, and if the training 'track form, is a. guide ho ehoaid wla some valuable juvenile races tf?!s season.
