Latest Quotations —3 to 1 Lottie and Mahaki, 4 to 1 Golden Plover, d to 1 Lady Zetland, 7 lo 1 North Atlantic, 8 to i Ilopefeldt, 10 to 25 to 1 the others: There ia every promise of line weather and one of the tnost successful meetings ever held here. ,-. , • ; . „ .LKtZit The Wellington facing C.lub's snrnmer meeting, wiich opena 'fio- morrow, ii expected to be one of the moßt successful for years. There are a largo number of visitors in town, and there is every prospect of fine weather. Lottie or Mahaki are decided favorites, but thore

is little money for either. The stable connections are anxious to get A bit more about Golden Plover, who is a point longer than the other pair. North Atlantlo and Lady Zetland are easier ; the former owing to the manner in which he finished tip a gallop this morning. Ranglpahz ia evidently short of a windIng- up gallop or .two, bat his party aro sanguine that he will run well forward, Vf eatmers has t a small fol lowing, and Princess May is looked upon as a dangerous outsider, Ariue, one of the Wairarapa contingent, is nibbled at by the Wairarapa people at long odds, and on his Hew Yeai'a Day form they think he will finish amonfr the front division. Kosefeldt appears bright, and though sha appeared to disadvantage wibh fitabalti on (he track this morning) with silk up rpay give a different result in the Cnp race. Backets are waiting .for the machine to-morrq>vj but the following may be accepted as theruliog prices with the " books " :— 3 ta 1 each Lottie and Mahaki, 4 to 1 Golden Plover, 6 to 1 Lady Zetland, 7 to 1 North Atlantic, 8 to 1 Rosefeldt j from 10 to 25 to 1 the others.
