Ho, however, had useful representatives ia Liverpool and Spade Guinea. Knight of Alhol died four days after "arrival afc Levuka, Fiji.; *,*"/ \ !• An Auckland -writer say? -.—When horses' names are left out of the race <;ards they sometimes win* Lady Zulu's name was omitted from the official card for the Maiden Welter race, 1 and she won on Monday last.. Moifaa was'railed from here on Tuesday morning, en route to hi» quarters at Hastings. Ihe big gelding is very fresh and well. I understand (says at; Auckland writer) that Mr W. Lyons contemplates taking Kaimate to Sy3ney after the Auckland Racing Club's Winter Meeting. It was with that object the son of Australian was purchased on Friday, but he would not have brought the price he did 'had lie not been engaged at the A.tkC. 1 Grand National Meeting on Wednesday. . - ' Referring to the Victorian 1 Grand National Handicaps! a- Wellington writer says : — The New Zealanders.. engaged. Record Reign and' Cavaliero; havo bden awarded pride of place in the Hurdle Race, three miles. Record'2toign,'winner of the last New Zealand Grand National Hurdles, has exactly the same weight, that he carried at Riccartopf when heput up a world's record. He has beetf in training so.roo weeks at Sydney,, and if himself on the day, will tnke a great deaL of beating. At a difference of 51bs he hoi .1s Cavaliero safe. The latter ma-y be sent across, as there are other hurdle events a*, the meeting, abo ac Caul field The,, Steeplfccllaso journey is: about foiiriniles. The Maoriland representatives are Volcanic, Crusado, and Korowai who, although good enough to win in New Sbuth Wales, are : considerably holow the form of Tilokowaru, Levanter^ Watcrbury,~ Mutiny and others who have been sent from the colony. Volcanic recently won «over the Randwick country with 12st 21b, and may bo a considerably improved horse. Wooral, in the hands of J. J". Allen, who has tnrned out a second J. E. Brewer, appears the pick of the Victorian lot. He won the Grttit Eastern Steeplechase at Onkaparinga on Easier Monday, and at Flemington this month. The ex-Aueklandur, Crusado, is a member of Allen's team.
