Don Caesar was the only scratching for the principal twomile handicap, and there was not even ono withdrawal from tho lio d for the milo bar- j ness race. Tho racing will start to-morrow at 11,45 a.m. The Cornet, who won the Provincial Handicap at Dunedin yesterday, lias been racing very consistently of late. He finished just behind tho placed horses in tho Ashburton Cup, and won the milo race on the second day of tho Ashburton meeting, j Ho was second to Thrax in the Oumaru j Cup, and second to Troon on the second ! day of tho same mooting. On Wednesday, at Dunedin, he finished second to Magdala, I so that ia six starts ho has won twice and been second tlrrco times, and has only once finished out of a place. - Clyneliph, winner of tho Clarondon Handicap at Dunedin yesterdav. is an attractive throe-year-old co t by Souit from Replete, a useful mere that raced successfully on tho West Coust and in tho south a few ,■ seasons ago. Clynelish is a very free gal-I loper, likely to tnoko a namo for himself i later on in good oompan.v.
