Mr. L. C. Hazlitt, who is a prominent figure in the Otago Hunt Club, won three races at Saturday s meeting .with the aid of Luigi and the half-brothers Galway and Lomangundi.

While riding Tirau in the View Halloa Steeplechase at Marton, H. Burt got one of his feet badly crushed, and he had to get medical attention on the course. '

When Onipoto won the Hunt Cup at Marton he appeared to be lame on. returning to the birdcage, but he quickly threw it. off, and. walked home apparently little the worse for his effort.

Acceptances for the Otaki and Avondale meetings close on Friday. It Is expected that Verbosity will be allowed to forfeit his engagement at Feilding on Saturday, and his next public appearance will ba in the big handicap at the Otaki meeting. H. Telford is taking six horses to the Wanganui meeting, and after doing the first day the team will probably be returned to Otaki.

Zouane, the Martian —Rose Red colt, purchased by Mr. Chas. Elgar for 800 guineas at the November .' sales in Christchurch, is showing a lot of pace in his work at Tauherenikau, and bids fair! to reach a high mark amongst this season’s two-year-olds.
