THE GREAT NORTHERN MEETING. Finnrn'K than that there was a movement in favour of Defoe for the Great Northern Steeplechase, there was no business of much note on Saturday. Cavalry and Inniskilleii remain firm favourites lor the Great Northern Hurdle Race, and Kiatero and Inniskillen occupy a like position for the Great. Northern Steeplechase. Returned visitors from Wangamu assess Defoe's chance, in the Great Northern Steeplechase highly. The Guard injured one of his shoulders when he fell in the Wanganui Steeplechase, and lie will not, it is understood, fulfil his engagement in the Great Northern Steeplechase. Defoe, Levant, Full Cry, Cavalry, Creusot and Rose Madder were brought up from Now Plymouth by the Rarawa on Saturday. Chivalry, Waitarore, Exnioor, Miss King, Trumpery. Pari tutu. Tupara, Southern Cross, Commonwealth and Waiwera are expected to arrive to-morrow. FORBURY PARK RACING CLUB'S MEETING. [BY TKI.EGR.U'B.—PftKSS ASSOCIATION-.] DlT.veihn", Saturday.
