(By "Carbine."* Acceptances .for 3lu.stert.on, Dunedin and Whangarei close to-day. Canterbury nominations are due to-day. Ai row smith seems to bo alright again, lie pulled up sound utter a recent; gallop in which he covered half a mile in a tick under 50sec. Spare Moment, a black filly in A. Atwood's stable, in wiid to be some good and likely to score anions the hacks. The Avondale Cup winner. Glen Canny, is one or the only two Auckland nominations for the Wellington meeting The imported horse has won in all of his la«t four r'ttrts, and on every occasion has been ridden by the Trentham hoi soman, C. Reed. Greens-lead, who.has run so prominently at Bindwick recently, was, as a yearling, sold for 100 guineas. Plymouth followers of the sport wffise unlucky not to collect ofi Stork at Avondale. Birkenvale is so much down in the n-eights that ,he ought to win a sixfurlong race any time he stiikes moderate company. The desire to count him out is by no means justified. Absurd's stock have won three of the Ive two-year-old races decided this season. The nomination of Forsius was cabled r rom Svdney for the principal events at the AJEt.C. summer meeting, but. though the cablegram was sent on Friday it did not reach the Auckland Club's office till Monday, says the "Star," too late to be included in the list. When Fulsome, the full-sister to Humbug, was a yearling she was bought by Mr A. B. Williams from Mr Cuirie for 10PO guineas. Her form this suggests that she will turn out good. Karo is doing well in her work, and the other morning ran nine furlongs easily in 2mm 3sec. Dame Straightlace is reckoned to be the best of the Clifford two-year-o'ds this season.
