The New Zealand Cup meeting this ! year will bo confined 10 three days, j instead of four us customary. I .Half ;i dozen horses irom the Washdyko stable were railed north yesterday to take part in the Granu -National Meeting. The horses were Crib, Oxenhojjo, -Sail Sebastian, Kaujwkonui, Handsome Boy, and Aerial, the List named being engaged on the last <lar. Tlio team wore all in gooa fettle when they Jcffc here, and most of them a.ro expected to figure prominently in their engagements, though as three of them will carry top weight on the first day heavy going will not be in their favour. Crib is likely to ho sent out, favourite for the Grand | National Steeplechase, .which lias not / been won by a. candidate prepared at Timaru since Dnddv Longlegs with the minimum weight beat a small field in | slow time in IS9O.
