Abcrfeldy will make bis reappearance among jumpers at the South Canterbury meeting, lie has had some schooling lately, and has shown that he has lost none of his ability in that direction, so that he is liable to get some of the money.

Master Clarence was not raced at YYaimate or Oamaru, though he made the trip south.

Topere came through his recent southern trip in capital condition, and ho should be ready to show good form m approaching engagements. Figures in the Timaru Cup, in which he will meet stronger opposition than he has so far tackled, but he can be relied on to race well.
