The Nelson Cup dinner, Sir Rosebery, lost appeared in public at the Wellington Cup meeting, when he won the hurdle race on the'concluding day, and placed in the jumping events on the two preceding days. Sir Roseberv, who was bred, and is owned and trained, .by the Wairarapa sportsman Mr R. is a fiv.e-year-old brown f elding by Sir Knox—Merrie Rose, esterday's race was Sir Rosebery's best effort to date, and he was doubtless .served by his minimum weight on the heavy track. Island, winner of the Hope Welter Handicap, is a four-year-old black gelding by Finland—All's Well. Island has a moderate record this season, having been placed second once in six starts.

The Pemosthenes —Rose Shield filly Rose of Athens, who won the Stewards' Handicap, was successful last time out; at the Pahiatup meeting. Rose of Athens is trained at Trentham by A. Goodman for Messrs I. B, and L. Dwan, both of the principal handicaps thus going to North Island owners. Jackaroo, the winner -of the Telegraph Handicap, is a four-year-did bay gelding by Hymettus—ldeala. Jackar roo had scored previonsly-ati the Horowhenua meeting, beating - a fair-sized field, but his previous form made him out just a moderate. Gold Problem, the winner of the final event at.Nelson, is a well-preserved gelding, as he will' rate as eleven next foaling,' Gold Problem is a. chestnut gelding by Gold Crests-Probability, and hi* sire will be well remembered a- s the winner of the 1907 Stewards 1 Handicap, on which, occasion he delayed the start for some considerable time owing to dislodging iis rider, arid . playing a% hide-andrseek in tho threes at the back of the Riccartdn course. ;

The winner is owned by Mr H- s Ballinger, who also filled third place witX'another two-year-old in Stream. / The Ohristchurch-owned Lynx (J. McLennan) looked like winning . tho Richmond Saddle I'rot all the way, but Rothmoor (J. Shaw) gradually overhauled the field aird won comfortably. . t Tho hefivy going suited the light-weighted Sir Rosebery in the Cup. Ridden.by S. Anderson, he took charge at half-way, and won with • something to spare. from American Beauty, who was prominent throughout. Esperanco and Princess Pat wero their nearest attendants at the finish.

Missland tried to win the Hope Hack 'Welter from end to end, b\it Island, finishing fenerously, overhauled her in 'tho etfaight. 'itch Dark carried top-weight into third place, and Lady Witchet was fourth. In ,the Stewards' Handicap Waimatao carried top-weight, 10"2, irito) second place'behind Rose of Athens, whose rider, Butler, claimed an apprentice allowance, and was in receipt of a lot of weight from Wairnatao. After lj*oiiig prominent in the early part. Ahi Ka. and.Canyon finished third and fourfh respectively. Norwood {driven by H. Gaskill) won the Wai-iti Harnesa Trot handsomely, and returned the best price of the day, his supporters receiving a double figure dividend. After getting into the lead Revolia broke badly, and spoilt her chance, Doucement led in the Telegraph Handicap •until Paphian headed her. The latter got a.. good • lead, but tired in the rim to the ■post; and Jackaroo beat him in *. good finish.

Gold Problem began smattly/iri tho Glen Memorial Welter, and never gave any of hiß opponents a look in. Princess Pat finished second,'and' Cheer Up and Pariform crossed the line on almost level terms.
