Ellis has been ' retained to rido her. - 1 • •

No pronounced favourite lias bean forma in' ' ttie Dtmedin Cup, which is regarded aa beat*- ' ing a fairly open appearance. "Winter Cherry has latterly come into favour, end Bon Speo retains his position as favourite for the Publicans' handicap. v.;

Both Fleetham and Daxingdale pulled up lame after working yesterday rooming. Fleetham throws off his lameness, but is now inclined to make a " noise" when gaUopmg.i Doringdale is a doubtful starter at the meeting.

Good fields, will in all probability be seem out in the principal events on both at Wingatui, aid the olub holds excellent prospects of a very successful meeting.
