THE CANTERBURY JUBILEE MEETING.

("Crackshot's " Tips.) The telegraph interruption came at a most inopportune time, as it deprived those at a distance from learning how the €up and other candidates for the 0. J.C. meeting were progressing in their preparation on the training track. Our readers, however, have had the principal gallops placed before them, being copied from Christchurch exchanges. One thing that strikes the reader is the clipping times lecorded in /the several gallops. The tracks must be very fast indeed. Backers will have a big tagk set them to tioearth the winners^ and the dividends are likely to be substantial in the majority <>f events. I will not at this stage go suto detail on the merits of the different 'jan>iidates, but will place the winners f^ follows: — Spring Hurdles. — Roller, Cavalierio, Torpina. \ New Zealand Cup.— Tortulla, Malatna, Fulmen. Ricoarton Welter. — Cora Linn, First Blood, Tzaritsa. Welpome Stakes.— -Indian Queen, Men* shikoff, Calibre. Stewards' Stakes.— Blazer or Ostiafc, Paladin, St. Denis. Ladies' Purse — Cavalierio, Haria> .Mag* nificent. x < Nominations for the Wellington R.C.s Spring and Summer . Meetings- close tonight, at 10 o'clock. It is stated that the owner's, (Mr. Dan M'Leod's) losses over the scratching of Record Reign for the New Zealand Cup amount to £650. Cooper, the jockey who was' associated with the successes of Ampier in the Epsom | Handicap, and Ingliston in the Caulfield Cup, will have the mount on Ka'aba in the Melbourne Cup. La Carabine comes as a tip from "a knowing one" for the Melbourne Cup, for which she was recently supported by her ownetf (Sir Rupert Clarke) to win £16,000. A meeting of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club Committee was held, on the Napier Park racecourse last week, to further oonsider the case of Mr. R. Paterson (of Wellington), who was disqualified for twelve months for telegraphing commissions on which he expected to receive totaJisator odds. It was decided to ex- * tend the disqualification to Mr. Patterson's horses— Dr. Bill and Ringlet—and the stakes were awarded to the second horses (Sylvanus and la) in the Hurdles, and Nursery Handicaps respectively at the late H.B. Jeckey Club Meeting. First Blood, by Bloodshot — Silva, reported as doing good work at Caulfield, is owned by Mr. A. Stevens, brother of Mr. R. Stevens, M.H.R., of Palmerston North.
