Tlig Canterbury I J ark Club is to be congratulated tin (Ho exceptionally fliie nominations received for the JuilC meeting. They are no better than tftfc club deserves. The programme is a grestt one; > T* wic© now our local punters have piled their good money ori Erin's Queen, anil oil both" occasions she hits messed things up at the start. dappriccio >yaH Hupportoti on each of her' essays at Fofbufy Park, but she could not go the pace sol by the sprinters appbSefl to hi*l\ The O.Y.M. inartj wins all hei* races through laying, liol by h6r sprinUHg powers. ; T.F.ti. haji boon, seni io Arthur Qox, to have a final polish i>ut on him.; The old pacer still shows plenty of Kpeed, liU cannot go Veiy ifat- with It. fr Red JLi<*ntftor has. hud his shoes takjan off...und is en-joylngr a ttaily run m ;the patjdock.

Denver Huon has to concede a great I start at New Brighton on Thursday, but It must bo remeratoered that ho Ib I-A champion on a grass track, and has seldom fieen beaten. Frandalena does hot stay out a. solidly run , two miles. Her strong point !Is speed, not stamina, i: Huia, the chestnut trottet 4 that Orange brought down from Auckland last spring-, and .won, a race with on th© Metropolitan track, is now an inmate of M. Edwards's stable and will be seen put at the New Brighton meeting this week. Those who have seen him at work say that h<s handles himself well with the hopples ort. •-."■ . Tho speedy Hula : Dillon is now m Ben Jar den's stable. &c is a very fast horse but somewhat erratic. The grey pacer, Irvwhi, does not like anything to stick to him. It anything hangs on. he is siif o to tangle. ' On paper it looks as if all the final acceptoi's 1 fol 1 the New Bfigliton Derby will go to thfe pOBt. Cello Sydney "V7ilkes has been showing signs of lameness again, but his trainer h6p6s to get him to the post for the Derby. ; . . Electrocute has to give away nearly half a, painutb to some of his opponents oil the first day of tho New Brighton meeting, and .softie of them are quite capable of Stepping the two miles m or about five minutes. ' Blackford is a g66d sort of pacer to own. Three times lately his pedple hdvs gone travelling with him, and on each occasion he his delivered the goods. T"bny Aritiett has got the makings of a good tf ott(*f m WoodcttUd. When first m comtnission hn ii^ed to Ihferfpre somewhere anfly break, but Annett has cured him of it. The brown horse goes very solidly now. 1 ; They say that Livingstone is the makings of a good trotter.
