SPORTING.

PAPAKUEA RAGES. The above races, which take' place tomorrow on the pretty course situated on the estate of Mr. W. Waltere, promise to be in every way a success. Excellent acceptances have been received for the two principal events—the Cup and Hurdle Race—while the entries for the other events of the programme are equally satisfactory, and everything augurs well for a most enjoyable afternoon's sport.
