Just tho reverse has been decided on at Wairarapa. Tho rule is to the effect that "N(> horses that are in training for racing purposes are allowed to compote in any of tho hack classes." ' .' "Tho reason for the passing of this rule," said a prominent official, "was mainly to prevent high-conditioned, stable-led racehorses and others of the kind to compete against animals of ordinary feeding. But 111 tho competitions there is nothing in tho rules to prevent anyone from hiring the best racehorse in the world to rido in the ring." ■ The following are tho O'Neill entries;— ■ Maidon, Leaping, Hunters' Competition, and Challenge Cup Steeplechase—E.
