THE WELLINGTON MEETING. TRAINING NOTES. [Br TELEGRAPH. — PRIiSS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington', Wednesday. At the Hutt, this morning, Pasha and Tigredia went twice round together, the last mile and a half at top. The mare has greatly im proved, and appeared to have the best of the gallop, but what weight up is not known. Lady Norah and Waitiri cantered to the Cup starting post, and then went a good rousing gallop together. Lany Norah held a slight lead until crossing the road into the bend for home, when she appeared to have had enough of it, and VVaitiri romped over her for the remainder of the distance. The inare appeared fairly run out at the finish, and the gallop was not calculated to improve her chance in the Cup. Master Agues was sent a couple of miles, Teddy Yuille went once round, finishing fast, being followed by Humour, who went one circuit at half pace and one fast, shaping well, but looking a bit light. Administrator went one mile and a-quarter at nearly top, Princess Royal bringing him along for ae last threequarters, Silence and Fardingale were not worked before breakfast. The latter is amiss. balisbury has been scratched for all engagements. THE BETTING.
