Iv the Wellington handicaps, published on j the 10th inst., in the Flying Handicap, Mischief's weight should be lOsfc., and not list. I After Martini-Henri, First Water, and Commotion, the three placed horses for the Cup, Sardius, First Demon, Magnet, Aide-de-Camp, Recovery, Archie, and Nicholas followed in the order named. The last three to run in were Kohinoor, Kingsdale, and Bis Bis. An exchange says : — The Auckland bookmakers pay away about £4000 over MartiniHenri's double victory. Colonel Fraser, of the Thames, lands between £1500 and £1600. The secretary of the Auckland Stud Company wins £500, and other employees of the Company lesser amounts. When the news of Martini's victory in the Cup reached the Northern Club the members were at dinner. Among thosa present were Major Walmsley, managing director of the New Zealand Pedigree Stock Co., and His Worship the Mayor, who is one of the largest shareholders in the Company. The former having received the warm congratulations of those present, the Mayor invited all hands to drink the health of Musket's brilliant son. The toast was quaffed in bumpers. Major Walmsley responded. He said he believed Martini-Hen-ri's performances would be equalled by the colt now in possession of the Company by Musket from Onyx.
