SPORTING.

THE LATEST TIPS. (By Ldddebdown),

If you ask ms which horse 1 would select to win the hardies on the first day I would replv, barring accidents, The Druid with 10st lOllis if. he faces the starter, or perhaps Secretary, list 41b., but I much prefer the former if they both come. For the Cup Leon or Pasha, with Humor either second or third. Although Athol Daisy ran a cliuking race at Island Bay on Friday in the Tramway Stakes, and won the Ladies' Bracelet on Saturday, I do not think she will be placed on the course at Greytown if she comes. I hope on Friday morning to be in a better position to pick a winner, and I do not think 1 shall be far out in my reckoning.
