Divorce is right back to his old form, and is entered for two events at Hokitika.

Hatana ie spoßen of as beintr a moderate performer, this .horse is engaffed at Kumara and Hokifika.

Rathlea and Wallalo' are at rreseni the favourite double for the Doneas-te-r Handicap and Sydney Cup. Bnn ReveNand Sinani s have .come in for more support.

Mr. E. J. Watt has evidently decided on giving Blackall a run at the A.J.C. meeting-, a<=, the son of All Black — La Notte fitrures among the nominations for the Easter Stakes of 750 soys, seven furlongs; and the Second Nursery of 500 soys. six furlongs.

"No hope our's to-day." said an owner to an old friend alt Caulficld. He would have no chance with the horse that will staTt favourite'" and besides, we will take the liberty of running a bit of weight off." This v.-as enough for the friend to put his= fiver on the favourite. It is still on, as the horse that was running a bit of weight off, was first or seem ed all the way, and was first up. Left to himself .his parcel would have been on the- winner. Turf friendship is very fragile.

A good number of New Zealanders intend leaving for -Sydney on Friday in order to attend the Randwkk meeting. Should Sinapis win the Sydney Cup a good deal of Australian capita'] wiU find its way back to New Zealand. Several Maorilanders who sa\\ Wallalo win the Australian Cup argue thaf Sinapis will never be sighted while other think 1 she will beat WaiJaJo at the weights. The meeting will be of great interest to New Zealand en,, as Sinapis and Midnight Sun will be our representatives in the Sydney Cup, Bon Revc and Sister Radius in the Doncaster. and Bon Ton in the weißht-for-age events' while several Other horses from this side of the T.asman Sea claim engagement 'in 'the minor events.
