The C'auKleld entries fell from 542 to 454. while. Sydney's increased from 876 to 1030. Several Svdnev trainers missed nominating tor Flemington a"« well as Can'fleld, consequent on the clashing.

It is likely that some considerable time will elapse before the last is heard of The Native apnea! case. The judges appointed bv the. Conierence have surprised everybody bv the decision delivered on Wednesday. What" the appellants thought would be the position was that the judge would merely decide whether or nor an appeal did lie from a "question of fact," which at present is a much-discussed point. The judges, however, have broken new ground Mr. J. Bull alleged that he was not afforded a. fair opportunity to call evidence, and the Canterbury stewards are to have an opportunity of refuting this, If, as is reported, no minutes were taken ats the original inquirr. prnbablv the appeal judges will order the whole ease, to bo reopened. At the meeting of the anpeal judges- last evening evidence was given by J. Bull, C Price, S. Gibbons, and F. Tutchen (rider of Uranium), while Mr. ,T. Jackson, owner of bilver Cluse, forwarded an affidavit.

ALLEGORY AND THE NEW ZEALAND CUP. [BY TELEGRAPH.— CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Saturday. A sensational rumour was afloat, in Wellington yesterday concerning Allegory, who it is said has shown signs of unsoundness and is milikely to see the post in the New Zealand Cup. Up I ill yesterday he ranked as a ver>- pronounced favourite for this race. Ye'ste.-dar plenty of money was offered at three times the odds previously laid, hut there were no takers. ■tt is probable, therefore, that there i.? some, thing in the rumour. It is known that certain persons received cables from Sydney, and as they subsequently offered to do business on the New Zealand Cup it is thought that there are ground* for the feeling that all is not well with the. son of Martian. • SALE OF THE NATIVE (BY TELEGRAPH.—OW-V COItRESPOXDKST.] Wellington, Saturday. tiZ! 10 Native, who has been sold to an Austra. han racing ■&"."' is to be shipped from hew" Sydney by Thursday's steamer.
