:,!i;B'.""Cairns■ is at' present at levin-schooling '■A<)rangi:'- I ..The Merriweo gelding is engaged in' the/hurdle races.at Wanganui next;week, and, considering the good form he showed at Awapuni in December, -Mr.--Morse does not" aprpearjto.have.o.verburdened him with.weight./ "'■':Soiiltline's.track work at'Flemingtoii appears to be as good as the best, and this brilliant sprinter seems to be still on the improve.. ,lii. the Futurity Stakes last week,- it would appear from the aocount o£. the race' that 'he was;. : not among;the fi'Rt- three at the end: of -.six: , furlongs, but that :,/as. probably because SfLaohlan was specially "saving him r for a run in; the last portion of the journey. In t)j e .Newmarket Handicap; the. Soult gelding, will, probably'essay ;tb win-from the stai't. Several ■Australian authorities ■ consider Soultline quite in'a class;by;-himself as;a sprinter..

Her fine performances among the best class up this way made it. appear as if she. w'a's, sure to winin. the moderate company to be met with at Wingatui,;.but:here-again the luck.of racin° plays its part.

The/first- day's .racing 'at different.■'meetirib' seems to-hare great'attraction for: the bookmakers,, but their, ranks are generally thinned out, a good- deal on Ihe: concluding-days.

Should she not start, the New.'Zealand horse, : Signor, will .probably receive most opposition . from' the likes of Dyed , Garments, Demolition, Trentmoon, Jack.
