E. Temperton has announced that Silver Knight is almost certain to run in the mile Summer Cup on the third day of the Manawatu Racing Club’s meeting and at the Wairarapa New Year meeting.

On Tuesday, Silver Knight was asked to stretch out over five furlongs on the plough, and he worked in good style. He ran the distance in Imin 6sec, and the last three in 40 2-ssec.

He will be all the better for his race in the Summer Cup, and his appearance will cause a lot of interest. Temperton said Young Ida is herself again after a bock Injury, and it ia now thought she gave herself a rick. She is a likely candidate for Wairarapa. Purdie has been slightly lame since Maaterton, but he is coming along satisfactorily, and may

now run in the Manawatu Cup next week.
