TROTTING NOTES.

The Trotting Cup is the one topic of conversation in light harness circles, and toe new conditions for the New Zealand Cop nave provided fresh interest. Kingcraft and Ahnriri at present are the ruling favourites, but J. Bry;e will have a good opportunity of judging the merits of Ahnriri wbea 'Joi'l Jacket sUps out against him at Oakham;>lon Lodge. Oold Jacket will l-e> quartered there, and, as usual, will be driven by Andrew Brvce, who hold the reins behind him in the Cup tri.il r.t Wellington on Saturday last. Ahuriri, is is understood, will be brought to Aldington to-morrow, and his trainer, J. Bryee. alwaya optimistic, expreaaed the opinion that th-> Cathcdnl Ctiirsea horse is as well aa ever he was. The veteran trainer has seldom made mistakes «o far r.s an opinion on the big raea is coneernell, and in this occasion his view moat be considered. D. Wither*, trainer of the actual favourite. Kingcraft, for the New Zealand Cop, reports his charge aa in ideal condition, and "providing track conditions are soluble he will be brought to Addtngtoa tnia morn log. The track will probably be open, bat it will not be in condition for record-time making, and Withers need not hope to better the 3-17 ha did for a mile and a half last week. The Cup favourite, however, can handle any sort of going, and something interesting may be eapected of bin* Prince Pointer may be in great order. but there is not a good demand for him in the Trotting Cup. He is certainly in a fine healthy condition, but he sweata a little too freely for a horse ! that has a serious engagement a week or so ahead. Tomkinson may produce Man at tae post fit and well for the New Zealand Cup. but at present this seems doubtful. He must have 3 chance in the Cup. bnt on the work he has been doing one would rather fancy him for one of the Auckland engagements later on. W. J. Tomkinson, however, stated J yesterday that he had little preference j for either of hi* Cup horses. Logan Park would need a track to suit him. I Otherwise he would have little chance. j Prinew Pointer would he a good horse Ino matter how the track* were. Much I wrwjld depend on the going, bnt. as at { prwwot. his two hors.--* had equal ! cfcaoceaI Talaro is improving in hi* work, and though he has done nothing to lead onr to be I ion that ly> has even an outside chine* in the New Zealand C 'ip. it woul 1 l*> aflvisahh* to wait for a day or t»» to **•»* whether !:•> has com* hack t«> appro:>."lune In..* hot I'erai.

Her trainer. J Washington, does net rrg.trd the matter as «wnou«, however. and he expect* to collect some of the stakes .ittacbed to the big event.
