INTERPROVINCIAL GOSSIP.

. . t , . [BY TSI.EGRArE.~OWN COEBESrONDENTS.] ';. ' - WELLINGTON. ] ■ . ' Tuesday. '" ,'i Solution has done ft'■lot of work since re-' turning from Ohristcb'u'reh'. She galloped a J mile and a-lm'lf with Lissa one morning this J •week. ' Goodman evidently 'intends training: her for long distances, a.* slid was psiid up for' in tko Feilding Cup. Unfortunately she contracted influenza, and has been scratched for all engagements there. She may not, raw until the Wellington Cup meeting. / ■ Lissa was sent to Feilding this morning, ;" Other Hutt horses engaged go up on Monday. | • Sir Geo. Clifford's team, in charge of li. j Cutts, passed through yesterday. : Cruciform for Auckland Cup, coupled with Savoury and Kubia for the Kailway Handi- j I cap, was backed to win the double for all the 1 money available locally, yesterday. j:, .<■ Qm> day last week. I paid" the Wellington ! ! Eae'.>a^ ; Club's new course at Trehtham 'a ; visit. The property 1 adjoins;the railway, the i Government owning a chain of land-on'which a siding will 'bo erected. Surveyors have got the '"■:• track 7 pegged off. It ; . is \ teir furlongs :| round. The turn out of the straight is a radius of six I and, a-half chains. The back stretch is nearly seven hundred yard.s long* The, home bend commences with •Jan'; eight-chain radius,''which isJtrradually increased < to twen-ty-six chaiiba. The straight proper-is about two furlongs in length. The course [ will be.■■ a chain and throe-quarters wide, except in the straight which will be a chain and a-quarter. • Although the track is very stony in places, it is believed that sufficient top dressing can be got oiii the* property to make a good'track. 'The enclosures will bo well sheltered by na- ; ;tive bush on' the property, and in the worst 5 ; Weather it - will be pleasant at v Trentham.: Bush and lulls at the back of the course make an excellent background. On the Wellington side of the property a road divides the course ! ifromthe^renthamxifierange.» After the ad- ." verse opinions I had hoard '.' about the place'*l' ' was agreeably surprised with what I saw this week. There have been a good many; diffier-

it 'opinions amongst the ■ stewards' about ie position of the* different building in 10 enclosures, . and several plans . hare >*n submitted. A lot of money,": >ioh is at present available as soon-as the "pacts, are let, is to be spent upon;the; WZ,,.„.% before coming to any decision thfe contt " v - *-. *3 have the 'accommodation" ■ place, an^^ffS''""St that can bo got.
