He remained for the Hawke’s Bay meeting, as also did the Porirua team, and the Otaki horses Ilushabye and Immcr. Bransfiold and Sir Solo were brought back to Opaki. El Gallo is engaged in the 'Wellington Steeplechase only at the local meeting. Handicaps for the first day of the Wellington meeting will bo announced after the conclusion of the Hawke’s Bay fixture. Although Waimai has _ won sCosovs in stakes this winter, ho is still eligible to compete among the hacks. He won at Waikato and Auckland, Mr M. T.
