A* I anticipated, the handle ipping for the FestLerstcn New Years Day ru> etii'g at Tanfiereuikau was so generaly satisfactory that a very few owners have not accepted, ard the few that have not dune so have oilier important engagements e'sewheie Very hitle speculfllimi has vet been indulged in by the Knowing ones lecarniug the Tauherenikau meeting, the Lower Val ey meeting on Boxing day engaging the most of their attention ; but if I »m not altogether premature I will name Walkover or Hs'icote for the Hurdles. Little hciuh for the New Year Handicap or possibly Revoke. For the F.U.U. (nibble or Hevoae ; and f >r tne Flung either Lifeb ucy or Revoke. I hope to be in a posito revise and pi ss.Ply alter my selection in a few d-is lull do u> t think my fancy will be mull c; a> ged. At all eventson all hands the io.nnicapi et is spoken of in very cutup,inut.ra y terms, and it is considered that the judicious allotment of weights has assured the success of the meeting btyoud doubt. In hseke theie will be gieater competition both at the Lower Yahey and Tauheieuikau, and cue dark rme ie expected to show au extraordinary amoent of toe on both occasions. Some very aciive sprculadou on the Lower Valley Bleeplechasetj ben g just now indulged in.
