Nominations for the Wnirio Jockey Club's Annual Meeting close to-day. Acceptances for the Wyndham Racing Club's Annual Meeting arc due to-day. Acceptances for the Wairarapa Kacii>g Club's Summer Meeting arc due to-day. Acceptances for the Hawke'3 Bay Jockey Club's Summer Meeting are due to-mono w. Acceptances for the Marton Jockey Club's Summer Meeting are duo tomorrow. Cupidon has gone on the right way since ho ra>ced at "Winton, says the "Southland Times." and his trainer, R. McKay, mnst hopo to have the Martian gelding run n good race during the holiday season. Mr H. Mason's racer has pulled up sound after his gallops, cleaned up his meals in private, and presents a bright, well-prepared appearance. Cupidon may not be quite rea.ly to sec out a soSid Cup race at present, but he can surcdy be depended upon to get to the end of eight -or nine furlongs in a satisfactory manner. Listening Post; is working very -well at present, and though perhaps hardly forward enough to see out a solidly-run mile and a-quarter in the Otago Handicap at Wingatui on Friday, his outing there should sharpen him up for his other engagements at Wvndham and InvercargilJ. Our Auckland correspondent telegraphed that the Canterbury horses engaged at the Aucktand Racing Club's Summer Meeting wore delayed on the train from Wellington, and they did not arrive at Auckland till yesterday afternoon. The Wanganui horses reached Frankton on Saturday in time to catch the Rotorua eiprea l ?, and they wero landed at EllersKe on Saturday night. Motley, Delugo, Duo, Kick Off, and Killocra were anwng the number that arrived. The five-year-old mare by Kilbroney from Parablo in B. McKay's stable at Invercargill has been named Similitude. Southern reports state that she is Jikely to be useful after having a little experience in public. E. A. Keasing ia said to be Royal Divorce's probable pilot if the imported horse starts in the Auckland Cup. Keesing was associated with him when he Won at Woodville recently. R. Reed will ride Duo in tfio big event at Ellerslie. Reed's mount in the Railway Handicap will be Grand Knight, and B. Rosen will have the leg up on Fool's Paradise. The Awapnni hurdlers Santiago and Bullford will fulfil their engagements at Ellerslie, and though Santiago has brightened up considerably since being raced at Riccarton last montli, reports from Palmerston North state that Bullford is likely to be just as prominent as his companion in his races at the northern centre. Diamond Ring has been sold "by Mr H. M. Campbell to a Wanganui sportsman. The price is understood to have been 400 guineas. B. H. Morris will ride Killocra'and Bank Draft in the engagements at Ellerslie. Muraahi never looked better than when he took his place iu the To Awnmutu Cup field (says the "New Zealand Herald"). After running in tho rear for the best part erf the journey, he was going on at the finish like the good stayer he is. Muraahi should be a very fit horse on Auckland Cup day, and is sure to one of the wellbacked horses. H. Young, who wafl; injured when the pacer Sparkling Pronto fell with him at Rangiora on Labour Day, will be in. the saddle again during tho holiday period, and will be present at the round of meetings on the West; Coast. Moorland's name was omitted from the published list of nominations for the Invercargill Cup at the Southland Rac« ing Club's Summer Meeting,,

Some progress lias been made towards finding a way out oi' tlvo deadlock which existed in regard to the rearrangement of the autumn dates of the 'Wellington. Manawatu, and Rangiukoi clubs (writes "Vedette"' in tlx? AVellington "Post".). The last named has agreed to race on March :30th and -Ist, leaving March 2Gt-h and 28th for | Wellington, and April Ist- and ~nd for I Manawatu. It mily resto with tlio Masterton Clnb now to apren to a dateiri February of- April 18th in place ' of its present date. April 4tJi. CANTERBURY PARK T.C.'S SUMMER MEETING.
