Acceptances for the Amberlcy .Racing Club's Annual Meeting close to-morrow (Wednesday), at S p.m. Keremoana now holds the time record I'cr tin: Hon. J. D. Ormond Memorial Gold Cup with 1.3« 1-1. The ben previous time was 1.38 J-3. registered by Cloyming last year, when he defeated the Hawk. In i-oiuic\ion with the dead heal: for the Hawkc'j, May Cup on Friday last. a gold cup. valued at .)') guineas, went with the rate, and the result found the officials in a quandary as to what to do. Mr A. IJ. Williams, owner of Star Stranger, was present, but Mr E. Christenscn, owner of Opa, was not. and so any suggestion made could not he carried out in the absence of the latter owner. There was some talk of tossing for the trophy, and then again Mr Williams is said to have been willing to offer Opa's owner the value of the cup in cold cash. Then there wa.s a further suggestion that the club should give another cup. The position has .still to be settled. Fresco will in all probability lie started in the Amberlcy Cup an Saturday next, after which he will be given a couple of months' spell.
