THE HAWKE'S BAY MEETING. (BY TSLSSGRAPH. )
Napier, March 14,
It is likely that there will be only seven starters in the Cup on Tuesday. Those at present under a cloud are North Atlantic, The Possible, Gipsy Grand, Brooklet, and Mahaki, while Saracen will probably be withdrawn in favor of Lady Zetland. At Hastings this morning some interesting winding-up gallops were witnessed. Bloodshot beat Torpina over five furlongs in lmin 4Jsec, Searchlight following with a sound mile and a-half gallop in 2min' 50sec. The Possible and Bessie M'Carthy did a mile and a quarter in 2rain 21sec3, the latter beating her opponent. Bonnie Scotland and Tireuse were associated over a one mile gallop the latter having the best of the trial. Three Star accomplished one circuit, the last seven furlongs of which were done in lmin 37secs. Acone had Mysterious as a companion in a mile gallop in lmin 50sec. Acone looks a mass of condition. Retribution and Triton were treated to once round atarattlingpace. The Gisborne colt is very fit. Liberator, Kapua, Rip Van Winkle, Popgun, Lotion, Donald M'Kinnan, and others were given useful work. The tracks are very hard and*trainers are all anxious for a good shower.
