The filly was not asked to do er best, to the great disappointment f those who knew the gallop was to ake place, and had waited to see it. She endeavoured to win all the way, ind was still in front when the straight was entered, and had a nice ead. When Silver Paper was asked o go after her she could not travel my faster, and Silver Paper gathered icr in a few strides. Although! beat»n, the Chokebore filly did not disgrace terself, and it is pleasant to be able report that she came home sound. y. Eastwood has been engaged to • Rotor in the New Zealand Cup. The j gelding has never looked back I the spring. Anything he has been ft to do has been done well, and ho ust be giveng good outside chance i the New ZcVand Cup. 0 /) {Count A s vour performed much more ftditably .it Wingatui than the most llimistic of his connections expected II to do. He never looked a likely I

winner; but he was running on at the finish and was close up behind the placed horses when the post was passed. In August.. “The Count” was looking an old worn-ou' gelding—a wreck. Sinc e then, he has improved steadily in appearance and in his galloping. It is hardly possible that T. IL Gillett will be able to turn the old gelding out cherry-ripe for the New Zealand Cup meeting; but he is a capable man and he has hopes of doing so. If he cannot, then there are other cups to tackle later on in tlyj season to win which would be full recompense for not winning the New Zealand Cup. It must not be overlooked that Count Cavour has won a New Zealand Cup with a record weight up.
