(By "Moturoa."} An mcVea-'' oi £2440 passed through the totalizator at the Masterton meeting as compared with the corresponding mecung last ye.it". Good dividends were the order ol the day on the second day of the Mattel ton races. Splendid Idea's performance in cutting- out the six furlong race in 1.15.2,5 with a steadier of 10.2. stamps the mare as a pretty good one. Cluvahv ha- been shipped back It Sydney. ' Report stales that he has been si ld to go to India. The Stewards Handicap at Riccarton should prove a most mtere-t ing race, as most of our best sprinter- are engaged. Of the twenty [our burses that have accepted 1 consider Master Alix and Aboriginal the most likely to provide the winner. A Wellington scribe -tates that ■nothing looked better at the Wellington meeting than the latter, and 1 am ol opinion that die M«rriwee gold:ng is somewhat underrated. Matakokiri appeared among the acceptors for hack events at the Masititon meeting. ApoHodoiis put up vhe performanee of his career when he just failed to beat Pctrovna, who was conceding him i/lb for the first day of tlr: Oamaru meeting \say» "Sentinel in Otago Witness). The diminutive son of Brisa doe- not ad well under weight, And the gallant manner in which he carried S.io up tile Oamaru hill won him many admirers. ine 1 race- howuvu'. took a ' u l of uk -teel out of him, and he failed to show up piominently in h:s second

She is a beautijul ,naro " Some people think she is like Wake ful. She is taller, and has more l'Tigth. but not the wonderful cu=k like back ribs. Standing behind her, Solution shows big, square entailers, she is wonderfully good ill the thighs and Raskins I'fs beautiful clean shoulders, good depth thiough the girth, and very nice bead and n.ek- Added to this, her action is perfect, and peihaps, this is her be-t Qualification. Of course, Solution mav go off. but if she keeps as she wis in Svdnev, -ae !<wk* like winning anything she goes for at Caulfield and l-'lemington. Neady eve'}on" left Randwick on the tnird da\ thinking Solution had been sold to Sir Rupert Clarke. Sir Rupert did buy Solution at 4000 guineas, through Mr 11. Chisholm, but it was subject [a her being approved by James Siobie. and Scobie. remindful of the Canteen purchase, peihaps, recommended S r Rupeti not t» lake her. Lau-r in the week Solution was under offer in Mr A. S. Ciuin-ule, but 0,1 Saturday morning negotiations came to all end. Solution is (juite the sen-ational horse of the sprng meetings (states
