THE CUP CARNIVAL.

■' „ Probabilities of To-day. To a certain extent »he C.J.C meeting has been saved by ' the . shipping of thirty horses on Thursday night, but despite this reinforcement the meeting is likely to sag- '.heavily- after Monday and runners will be scarce for the two last diys. , .v! ' . The events , wJilch brought .about this state of affairs; ; ire to be deplored, but no good end : will be serveU by discussing them here, slo for all concerned "Spearmint" will "endeavor to find a -winner or two and thus make : the layers ? disgorge some. ot. their 111- ! gotten gains. ' ' j The poorest Cup meeting on record ; wiP. be. inaugurated with 'the I Hurdles. Some seven horses' . have j been paid up fur. but Windage, Aber- 1 brothock and: TJravest ' have yet to j reach the 7 scene, su probably when! • Btartcr If. riper Knes them up only ?. ; ciuartelte will oc ther?, viz., Coronet- j (ed, Peary,- Kilmeny and Uriieraboy. : Punters will have no hesitation In j making the top weight favorite. ■) The. Spring l^laTe cbaies next. The! field for ihis event' is likely to consist .{ of Jeannot," Steyedore, Flora Mac- j Donald, First Glance, l_ady .Ylarcia, j Bonnie Bnuohc, lianksia, Historictte, Sir Malt and Gnome. No one will ; want to be on anything but .Tfeannot and Banksiu. The first-named is -a very £s»st horse and a rare finisher, while Banksia 'gave a taste of her ability at Randwick last month. Mostly Klccarton- train-ad horses will be figuring m the Welter, for" several, of the acceptors havo not yet been' able' to get.South. and' at'the thncVaf ,writii^g there seems liltte prospect of^ them reaching there.
