The weather has taken a turn'for the better to-day. The rain ceased late last nigh£, and to-day we have only had one or two light showers. The sky 'still looks somewhat threatening, but I think we may fairly assume that the worst of the squall is over. The tracks at Riccarton were Very .wet and unsafe for fast work this morning, so that the work was confined chiefly,, to trotting and cantering. The visiting horses have commenced, to put in an appearance* and with the prospect of more favourable weather we should witness some interesting work during the next few : days. ;J. i McGuinness arrived from Dunedin last night with Ailsa, Crichton, Grown Imperial and the two-year-olds ; Alexis and Tramontan.a. To-day's boat from Wellington brought Mahutonga, Convoy, Melodeon, King Billy, Solution and Patuna, and all the visitors will probably bo stretched out on Saturday morning. .; . , , , ! . Cyrus is reported to be lame, and he is regarded as an improbable starter at the Canterbury Jockey Club's Meeting. | \ Straight-out betting on the New Zealand' Cup is quiet, business being chiefly: confined to the Cup and Stewards' Handicap doubles. The favourite combinations are Grand Rapids and Machine Gun and Grand Rapids and Golden Lily, which are marketable.at 16 to 1; and 20 to 1 respectively. There are ; no changes in the Cup quotations, though Grand Rapids and Calibre show a tendency to harden. ' ; • '" - . WEIGHTS DECLARED. . '■'.'
