Royal Marine waa a dual winner I at Greymouth. i Sid Held rode five winfiers at tb©( Greymouth meeting. j Fields will not be rfvery numerous i at Hiccarton to-day. j It is estimated that forty odd | horses were unable to get to the i Riccarton meeting owing to the j strike. j The St. Andrew's Handicap at; Feilding promises to give tho weight ; adjuster a bit of bother m finding iv. top weight. .' * ■ ■ _ * -. ■;■' Garunce (Vasco. — Madder \ will make his .first appearance this s^osoi» m the apprentices' race at Feilding on the auth inst. Glenmore finished third m the Cup Steeplechase at Fiemington. The New '/Jealander, Continuance, won the same event last year. As was anticipated m these columns. Merlon was too good for the class ho met on the West (-oast, and at Greymouth he won three races. Crosska, who was reported to be another Huko Foote, .seems to have got a very bud run m the Melbourne Cup, but he may make amends today. Trainer IT.

C. Kihr wired to the C..1.C. on Tuesday asking them to consider the postponement of the Cup meeting, but nothing come ot ' »t. Herragooti proved conclusively on Saturday that he is the bent three-year-old In Australia by scoring m the V.H.C. Derby. Kailnor, as at Hundwick, was m the position of runner-up. Owing to the strike troubles ' and the ditllculty of arriving at Hiccartou m time to have a few gallops on the grass, .'. 11. Prosser was compelled i»» cancel his trip to the C..1.C. meeting. A contrast Melbourne jiad a record Cup day, over iflu.ooo |_eoph> being present. To-day there is nothing but failure staring the C..1.C. m the face, and a record poor attendance wiUbe the result.
