" Beacon," in to-day's Daily Times, writes :—Betting has been brisk during the last day or two, Fishhook having come again in the market, while Camballo, Titania, Templeton, and Chancellor are also well backed. The following are the latest prices : Gto 1 agst Templeton 7 1 Chancellor 7 1 Fishhook S 1 Titania S 1 Camballo 10 1 -i— Nemo it . 100 100 i TRAINING "NOTES. w (by TELEGRAPH, FROJf <fuß CORESPONDENT.) \ Dvnedin, February 2(i. There was a large number of sportinfc men on the course this morning to witness the final gallops of the various competitors. The weather was anything but pleasant, and the work was confined solely to the tan, the course being closed. Foul Play and Marie Antoinette opened the ball by going a mile for a sweat, and were followed by Nemo, who went in company with Eversley. Templeton and Sinking Fund were sent a mile and a half at a steady pace. Titania had two miles at easy speed, and Maritana did a similar distance. Atlantic and The Agent did two rounds, both moving freely, Fishhook and Te Whetu traversing the same course and being joined by Fenella for the last mile. Laertes and Kildare had sweats of one and threQ miles respectively, while Dundee and Adamant were treated to Exercise of a similar character. .Chancellor and York did a spin of a ;and a half. Playboy being satisfied with a mile. Huntingdon did a fair iiat. Benjiroo was the only candidate frofiiygmith's stable who hail?any work perform-,-a mile in good time? Ratcatcher Keith a' heavy weight galloped his two affiles at top speed. Mata, Tommy, Te ' Ivooti, Minnie, and a number of other horses walked round the course. " Centaur" in the Age gives the straight tip as follows : —For the Maiden Plate 1 pin my faith on Dundee, with Boadicea and Minnie second and third. Champagne Stakes—Fenella, with Adamant second. The greatest uncertainty prevails about the. Cup race, in consequence of the doubts as to which of Ray's quartette will represent the stable. Probably Titania will be declared to win with, and Templeton should carry off second honors, with Fishhook close up. ior the Ladies Purse York is the most likely aspirant, Cloth of Gold and Ranwiek close up. Foul Play is my favorite for the Publicans, and Nunia for the Selling Race. The races are likely to be well contested, and with fine meeting should be a most successful one. The city is now filling up rapidly with visitors. «, LATEST BETTING.
