HA WICKS BAY RACER
NAPIER, October 6.
Nearly all the visiting horses for the Jockey Club's races on Wednesday have now arrived, and there was a large muster of touts on the course this morning, m expectation of good gallops, but the visitors were disappointed, nothing extraordinary being accomplished. Windwhistle and Golden Vein put in a fast four furlongs. Orloff got over seven furlongs in good time. Rose Maddern negotiated half a mile on the grass in excellent style. All the others were exercised steadily. The weather is now looking settled, and the course will be in splendid order.
