The dream which invariably happens at race time has occurred in Wellington recently. A gentleman, whose veracity there is no established reasons for doubting, dreamt a night or two ago that Man ton had won the double of Cup and Derby. This may be considered reliable unless someone else dreams that some other horse won the race, or either of them.
