We have no Achilles, Munjeet, or M ? chl ° e vn ' but all tbe same there should be a great struggle and a most interesting race. Pull Kate, the top weight, was the last of the North Island contingent to arrive. He was out on Satarday for a preliminary," and is looking big and well. It is very hard to gauge this horse's form with those left in the race,, but his sterling performance in the Criterion Handicap at the C.J.U. Metropolitan Meeting will be vividly remembered by those who witnessed, it. All Red is moving nicely, and will take \ some beating. Zimmerman is to be kept for the Great Autumn, _nd whether Kairoma will be a worthy substitute or not rem—tns to be seen. Carissima is a very smooth mover, and may run well j but her pa-fc performances do not warrant the assumption that she is quite class enough for thds race. Contender, the last of the Northern contingen>t, is in much the same categoiy, but he is said *n have undergone a very satisfactory preparation. Petrovna is very well," and, like Cross Battery and Buocleuch, it is just a question if she is going to run up to her. track form, and past performances. Goldbeater as the sole represeobative of the Chokobore Lodge stable.' He has a host of admirers, and has been doing solid.track work. AH Guns and Paragon will probably. find the pace too fast, but Prim, if she gets well away, will take a lot of catching*. She is in very good nick. The minor events should all be well oantosted races. The Kildare Hurdfcs has a very safe lot of jumpers in Leesdde, Ability, Grand Stand and Southern Cross, while the others engaged have all been* well •schooled. The flat races are likely to be contested by good average fields, and should provide veiy interesting sport. An efficient train service has and trains will leave Ohnstchurch up to 12.15 p. m . for the Itacecouree. The following is the order of the card for tho day's races:— **
