[HI* TELEGRAPH. —OWN COItRESPONDENT. ] WANGANUI. Tuesday Attractive is to be taken to Auckland with a view to fulfilling engagements at the A .It.C. Winter Meeting. The son of Absurd —Finery might pick up a race at Ellcrs'ie if the going is firm. _He is a long-striding sort, and this handicapped him on tho heavy track at Wanganui. Omaliu is booked for another trip to Ellerslie. The son of Maniapoto has como on well, and it would not tic surprising to see the sou of Maniapoto win a race at the 1 A.R.C. Winter Meeting. In view of (he fact, that I'assin' Throngh's preparation was interfered with owing to nn injury, he must, be given credit for running a good race in the_ big steeplechase at I Wi'/ngariui. The Guianforte gelding will be worth watching when he next goes to tho post.. . San Forte is another that had his: preparation interfered with, but the racing he had at Hawera and at Wanganui will sharpen him up, and he will take some beating in whatever event he starls in at Ellerslie. R. S. Bagby is taking Strategy and K i 11ocra'to (lie Aucklar d winter meeting. To Kawa ran such a fine race for two miles in the Century Hurdles that it appears safe to predict that, the son of Maniapoto— Sweet, Van will win a good stake over tho hurdles shortly. Alaric ran probably his best race to date on Thursday, when he won the Connolly Handicap. Atnrie is engaged at Olaki oil June :i and -t. but. whether 1.,> will go there in preference to being taken north for tho Cornwall Handicap ami other events is uncertain. Tie is in snel; great form that he must be very hard to beat wherever he starts, over hurdles or on the flat. JACKSTAFF DESTROYED. Australian and Cable Association. (Reed. 10.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE.
