THE WAIMATE MEETING.

The acceptances received for the Waimate Racing Club are cf a satisfactory nature, and the various fields should furnish some j excellent sport. Seven hordes cried con- ! tent in the Studholmc Stakes, and the most I formidable of the-=>e may prove King's ! Gues,t and Pensive, -who are fancied in the order named. Secret Society should prove ' hard to beat in the Waimate Cup, as he i is likely to improve a bit on his recent! Dtiuetlin form as the racing which he received there appeared to be beneficial. The I race, however, bears a somewhat open ' appearance an<,l should furnish a good co-n- ' te=t. Thors is a mixed lot engaged in' j the Welter, and perhaps the aristocratically- ! bred Beau Seaton may find the company ' more to his liking than that in which he has been competing in the past. The onetime pet of the public, Orloif, has continued: his engagement in the District Welter, and! if he is shape at all he should te hard to beat. In any caso tbe writer's respect for a good horse is held to bo sufficient grounds to deem the Sortie ge-ldir." worthy cf a tip. ttespite th-o fact that St^pr.'ido I has a b'fc of a steadier to carry in the Publicans' Handicap, she should give a good account of herself, particularly as she acted well under weight at Tapamu. Some of the horses which follow her in tli-o handicap are unknown quantities which may contain an element of danger, whilst the Harvest Handicap may to won by Quassa or Da la- "Rfiv.
