The Hawk has been v^ lieved of his first day's engagements in - the handicaps/ and, unfortunately he -. was. not entered for the Hawkes Bay .... Makes. The latter race looks absolutely;..at Gloaming's mercy, and it was quite - expected that ho would be sent for that •- event. His connections must surely send : him tp.thewst to, face The Hawk in ■■the Ormond Gold Cup on the second ■ «ay. Hastings is assured of a certainty ( ot sensation, for if the cracks meet thero ; will be interest at fever heat: if thoy .. do not meet, just heat, ■ - Good acceptances have been received ': ll?, 1"the handicap events at Hastings and although the Hawkes Bay Co?
