TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Hbbewtht, Wellington.— My definition of a firstclass horse is one that would have a show In the best races at weight for age In any company. Judged by that standard Occident is not a firstclass racehorse; and the horaes A names were, viz.- Nelson," Tirailleur, Manton. Carbine, Craokshot. and Medallion. (2) Carbine was never .beaten in Wellington as a two-year-old. T 8., Oamaru.— Mats and Fishhook were geldings ; that is Ye reason. (2). Templeton never ran in a
New Zealand Cap. Memorandum, Timaru.— Have no doubt that he it
a late mark. A Constant Bbidbb.— ln 1871.
