Tho racehorses Bnlawayo and Rawiri arrived from Wellington by the Rotomahana on Saturday morning. * At a committee - meeting of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club, held on Friday, it was decided that in the event of a,' match for not less' than 1000 soys being arranged between Ribbonwood and Almont, the Club will subsidise the stake to the extent of 600 aovs. . The conditions suggested are that the match be run over three courses, one, two, and three miles, at the November Meeting, the Club to hold the stake, and impose such time limits a* it deems fit. So far neither of the horses' owner* have been communicated with, but there aeema a good chance of the match being arranged. Speaking at the luncheon at the Wellington Race Meeting on Saturday, his Excellency, replying to the President's toast, said he was not a racing man when he came to the colony, and did not .think' he would ever becomo one. but he had been induced to go out to the Hutt, and lad learned to attend meeting*, not as a duty, but for the pure enjoyment it afforded him.
