Cress, who had the mount on Uhlando, is apprenticed to his uncle, a Masterton sport, who owns San Julie and Thera. J. Proeser won both hurdle races with Maui and! Ataahua. The first-named won a <$ouble at the same meeting last year. Ataahua is a full brother to Pawa, in the same stable, and is practically- a beginner ■at tile game. He has so far only .won two nurclle races, but is spoken of as likely to turn out first class. % The Pcrirua and Hutt flat-racers taken .'to the Wanganui meeting all failed. Gauze will probably be the only member of the Porirua team seen out at Dannevirke. Mr R. W. Patteison recently disposed of the Stepniak colt Prism to Mi W.
