BETTING MARKET.
The bolting market on the New Zealand I Cup is very quiet,. No business worth speaking of is being done straight out, the principal inquiries being for doubles on the New Zealand Cup and Stewards' Handicap. Among the Cup horses, Grand Rapids holds : his place at the head of the quotations. There la little to choose, in the matter of public fancy, between Convoy, Melodeon and Mahutonga, while Calibre is also receiving support. For the Stewards' Handicap- the favourite selections are Machine Gun, Golden Lily arid Zetland, though one or two others are also inquired for occasionally. •Wairiki fell and fractured his shoulder dur^ ing the running of the Melbourne Cup. An i attempt is: being made to save him for stud purposes. He waß removed from the course in the ambulance slings. ( The Canterbury Jockey Club has made a number of improvements . at Eiccarton, which, will be" greatly appreciated by the lady patrons at the Jubilee Meeting Part of the old stewards' and Press stand' has been fitted up as a ladies' cloak-room, while upstaws a siltingj room has also been furnished for their use. j The balcony bas been set aside specially, for I ladies, who will thus be ablo to command a 1 fin© view of the course without having to I fight for seats in the public stands.
