At the last meeting there were three dividends. * „ According to an Auckland report, the New Zealand Cup candidate Kiltowyn was to have left lor Riccarton today. During the past week he has been responsible for some very solid work, and he is very bright and muscular. He is to be ridden by H. Goldfinch, who rode him at the Auckland Spring Meeting.
