AUCKLAND ITEMS.

(Fhom Ova Own Cobrespondent.)

Auckland, July 3*2 Mr (•}, Cutts yesterday purchased on behalf of a ijndicate the th oe-.,earoH gedi :g Imi puke, and I understand that he intends leaving wiiti t)n aonof St. L°ger by th-. next stea.n^r f.i>- . I have been unnb'.e to »BC«f tAla ei< hi", the jjri ** pi .1 for or the names of the pi ties a e>'lif6dlntpfce ■><: ch.iee of the gelding Under a light impoit Impure won the Autumn and Baster U ui;ic-ps at the v ft.U. April meeting, and is a very fair ii. lie horse. Mr Morrin h<w changed hi« rain i with regard to bringing Hild^ turf ovwr t'.» a oloie, an<i the daughter of Miuketv Isfr, Wellington "ark Uir. week in or<ier to take up her old quarters at Cieo. W.-ight'a establishment at Kohimarams. HiMa is engaird in |he New Zealand Cup with 8.9, And there e- ems to ba

an opinion that If Mr Morrin is to win that event the daughter of Ouida will be the one he will have to depend upon. I understand that a resident of Hawera haa made an offer to Mr H. Harrison for Baglan, which ' will probably be accepted. The eon of Cap-a-pie -we-tt badly amisc in one of his fore legs early in the seasou, and from what I can learn the parties who are in treaty for hie purchase intend putting him to the stud should their offer be accepted. , Very little wagering is being transacted here on the New Zealand Cup. One hundred to 12 is on offer about Tirailleur, but if it were known for certain that the son of Muiket would remain in Hew Zealand to fultl hi* engagement very short odds would be quoted about him.
