First" acceptances for the New Zealand Trotting Cup aie duo to-day at noon.

As a result of his win at Amberley,. Pyjama has incurred a 51b penalty for t))e Squatters' Handicap at Geraldine.

Taringamutu was responsible for two good performances this week at Otaki, where she won the principal event each day. She had a decent field behind her on each occasion, and tho merit of her wins was enhanced by the fact that she was carryiug big weights. She ,is a four-year-old mare by Charlemagne ll.—Arai-te-Uru, by Birkenhead—Fair Nell, so that she is a halfsister to Mr J. B. Reid'K three-year-old, KiJboyne, and also tho two-yoar-old filly. Kjlreo, who will race in Sir C. W, Iteid's colours this season.

Ayah, who won a race each day at the Ofcaki meeting this week, is a three-year-old filly by All Red—Herr inosa, the dam of Oiyoi. Ayah did not raco hist season, but her form at Otaki makes her look a very promising tilly. Zuland, who is « member, pf the team which Mr TJ. G. Taylor took to Sydney a few months ago. .continues to ewn distinction. He won the Welter Handicap, sijc furlongs, at Gosford last.week, while ho scored another win at Kembla Grange yesterday. Martuk was third in a race at Gosford, while Spangle finished out of a place, when fancied by her connections. Martuk has been a great disappointment since she has been in Australia, as she has shown smart form on the tracks' withr out once running up to it in public. Be© .continues to please the Sydney critics with her track work at Randwick, and she is now one of the favourites for the Metropolitan Haudfeap, to be decided on Monday. •Hector Gray has been riding her in her work recently, and if he gets his license be will have the mount on the Martian mare in her engagements at the Australian Jockey Club's meeting, failing which she will be ridden by W. Harriett.

Raval was a competitor in the Camelia Stakes, six furlongs, at Rosehill this month, but finished crat of a place, after being prominent at the entrance to the straight. According to a "Sydney writer, it is doubtful if his Australian trip will be profitable. Silent Way is credited witji a useful performance in the Rosehill Handicap, one mile and a quarter, last month, and ho .may win a race before long.

It is reported from Sydney that W. H. M'Lachlan will ride Kilboy in the Australian Jockey Club's Derby on Saturday. A writer in the latest Sydney " Referee " had the following concerning the New Zealand colt:—Kilboy went really well in a mile gallop with Bee, and is apparently thriving on work. According to some racegoers who watched him closely, his form in the Chelmsford Stakes was excellent, as though he failed to commence smartly lie was malting up ground all the way over the last half-mile. They hold lie is sure to stay, and in ffjpport of this belief ere backing him for the Derby.
