H. King passed through to Lyttelton yesterday with Tangimoana. The San Fran mare is a perfect picture; and is just in the right condition to undergo a few solid gallops prior to tho New Zealand Cup. King is confident that sho will stay all right, and anticipates that she will run a great race. He informed mo that he had great hopes' of lauding the double until Rangipapa developed strangles. . Tangimoana's full brother, now located at Palmerston North, is going on the Tight way, and will probably be prepared for some of:tho autumn meetings. Aorangi is not engaged at tho Trentham meeting, but will probably bo taken on to the-Riccarton fixture.
