Greenwood states that it Cupidon went on the right way in his work he will contest the New Zealand Cup. Accordi’ng to ‘ ‘ Touchstone,’ ’ in the ‘‘Australasian,” the Epsom Handicap panned ou~ just as -Mr E. A. Connolly foretold. All the week he was telling people Rostrum and Fleuriste would finish first ami second., but would not venture an opinion as to ■which •would

vviiiuiu opinion ;ts io which woum be li.rst. Nevertheless, his friends knew that h-e had a loaning towards Rostrum. He had backed the handsome black son of Roseworthy for something like £lB,OOO straight out, and had coupled him with Purser for perhaps twice that amount. He had one nice bet of £15.000 to £lOOO Rostrum, but the layer had to be given the market for himself, and no doubt placed a portion oi th- 1 wager well. But Fleuriste improved so much in the last week that most of Air Connolly’s later investments were on the imported bay. It is reported that Purser’s defeat in the A..T.C. Metropolitan Handicap upset. one of Mr Eric Connolly’s biggest coups. According to “Touchstone,” -Mr Connolly had almost as much confidence in Purser as he had in Rostrum, and his cocksureiress, if the word is ’ pt'rmissible, seemed to infect everyone I with whom ho came in contact. He * must have put cle.se on £lOOO on Purser ■ after Rostrum won the Epsom, though '■ he had the two in the double for more t than £20,000. There was no excuse i for Purser’s failure. He was beaten I 'hi his merits, though ]ie may possibly have boon slightly hampered when. Warspear ran off at the home turn. Cairns, however, said that he had nothing to complain about.
