WELLINGTON RACES.
Considerable interest is now noticeable amongst the public concerning the Wellington Races. Fourteen horses have accepted for the Cup, and a good deal of business is being done amongst the bookmakers. Very shortly we may expect to see the horses arrive both from North and South to go into training. We append the latest quotations regarding the Cup. It will be seen that Longlands and Mufti are made top favorites. The race is generally considered a pretty open one :—5 to 1 Longlands, taken ; 5 to 1 Mufti, taken; 100 to 15 Titania, offered ; 100 to 15 Fishhook, offered ; 100 to 12 Lara, offered ; 100 to 12 Laertes, offered ; 100 to 10 Kata, offered ; 100 to 10 Diver, offered ; 100 to 8 Morning Star ; 100 to 8 Pohokura, taken ; 100 to 6 Venus Transit ; 100 to 6 Lady Grey ; 100 to 6 King Quail ; 1000 to 30 Sailor, wanted.
