THE WELLINGTON CUP,

■ ■ ?X;; ;'[To'the .""'"■ • ... Sir,—The s ' coming Wellington ~ -meeting should prove of unusual interest' to tho sporting. world, seeing that ten out of tlio nineteen acceptors havo each been returned winners of important traces' within the last few weeks, which makes the event of Saturday next- unique in the history, of the race. -Itappeals to me, as it were, tho running-off of the final heat for winners. No.doubt we have had lireyipusly quite as good horses compet-: •ing.for,'Wellington's-chief event,;>but t doubt if ever there were so many'with recent victories to .their credit competing for: Wellington's best' prize. ' . ■All.Bed, Auckland Cup j. Eoosevelt, Grandstand Handicap; Ringdove, Wairarapa. Cup';. Pnisano, Hawke's' Bay Cup; Merrivonia,' Manawatu Cup; Waipaku, Ashhurst Cup; • Crucinella, Awapuhi Handicap ; Sir Antrim,' Summer and Prcsi : dent s Handicaps; Lady Medallist, Alexandra Handicap; ChaUvelin, Rimutaka Handicap) Diabolo, second iu two principal events at Auckland; .'■ Equitas, with many rcoont' races to her name; Osiris, winner at Eandwick; : besides Husbandman and Moloch, with many, good .races to their credit; .. "..-■■• ~.■■. . ."

The lnbri) you , consider the performahces of the horses I have named 'the'more difficult it is-to solve the probables, except for the fact that .the -weight adjuster has: either treated sojco : as non-stoyeis^; or takeii, a very lenient view'of their performances', pthervrisc the ■ Wellington Cup. of 1910' would puzzle the.most..:astute.—l am,'etc:,'. ■'' .■"'•"'•■■ ■ ■■•■ ,>"■• -.■■;■■:■ ■■■■.' : v ,' ; OLDiSPORT. .
