AVONDALE.
There was brisk betting on this nieeting in Dunedin last Saturday, and on the whole the public came out a little better than the bookmakers. St. Paul waa one of the chief agents in pulling backers through. Thi3 gaJlant little hoi's© has won the Avondale Cup three veara in succession. On the present occrvsion. he seems to have been ridden wii,h judgment, this helping him to an easy _win. Seeing that he had 10.8 on his back, it may be concluded without offence, I hope, and also without the least desire to belittle St. Paul, ' that the opposition was not of a very strong order. One candidate, at any rate, was full v] of first-rank company after measuring strides with Mr Cha&fe's horse. I refer to Explosion, who made such a poor show that his owner forthwith scratched him for the New Zealand Cup.
