, Achillean, tho .thrco-year-old brother to Achilles, is now in work at Randwick. Somo oighteen months ago he was boing prepared for two-year-old' engagements,, but :it was deemed advisablo to spell him, and up to the present ho has never, raced. Mallard .(Malvolio-VBritomarto). issaid to bo easily., tho, best hurdler., in India, and' a correspondent of tho ''Winning Post"'thinks that 'were he"taken to England ho would be: ablo to give a good account "oHiimself over the;Grand'National course. . , . • 'According to an oxchango,. several Japaneso livds been sent to .Hungary., to learn race-riding.

' '.Mahuta,. winner'of tho Eg'morit Cup," made Ki3--'.^s£ l, 'api»barance-'-|n ' a . maiden ' race''.at: Opaki two years 'ago!", Ho was raced four .times 'that '.season,- but failed .to get .in tho .list. -Last .season as a three-year-, jold- he was started on twolvo occasions,. Ho won six races, was three.times placed second, and : three timos 'ijhplaoed. Perhaps his''best' perfoniarice' I ''was'"when ;ho ran'.-second;; to Helen, Portland m' tho Thomson 'Handicap.' His:.tritaPwinnings' for, tho season "amounted' to-£621-;'rlrf-iSeptember' last :ho won a raco at. Levin;- and-was afterwards a fancied candidate in .the Now- Zealand and- Auckland"' -not-gain a place"in cither event. ,:Tho Egmont Cup is his first race ;oince Meoting, and ■it is also his most important victory; •'> Nova,' who .rah second to Mihuta in the Cup yesterday-,'' hasfillod'a similar position in ; contests' forv the .'Foxton Cupj : Pahiatua Gun, and Rangitikei Cup. .As a place-gcttor in important .evonts ho seems to oe quite as unlucky as his stable-mate Apa. • '
