The Betting Market. Speculation on the Auckland Cup has been very brisk during the week, and the double of Cup and Steeplechase has also been freely speculated upon by backers. Merganser maintains her position of last week at the head of the quotations for the Cup, but St. Hippo treads closely on her heels in the quotations, and if the public were sure that b,e woukl start he would supplant the mare in the quotations. Outside of the pair named 7 io. l can be procured, and Coalscuttle and Crackshot have been befriended to a good tune at. these prices. The best price on the field for the Cup and Steeplechase double is 100 to 8, at which figure Merganser and Fishmonger, and Merganser and Aorere have found good backers. The prices on offer last night, as supplied, to us by Mr D. McLeod, were as under : — AuoklandCttp. 5 to 2 agst Merganser 3 — 1 — St. Hippo i: . i >.i ii .Zk ~ 7 — 1 — Coalscuttle, Pinfire, Impulse, Crackshot >i. 12 — 1 — Brigand, Morion 15 — 1 — Hegel .. . 20 — 1 — Lochness, Scot Free 30—1 — others.. . r..

Nellie, the dam of Yarran, Wilga, and Etra Weenie, has this season foaled a filly to the famous Trident. So has her fnll sister Emily and Feu d’ Artifice, whom Mr. George Lee took from Mr. Herbert Power in exchange for Savanaka, has a colt to Trident. Old Hogmanay is quite the champion selling plater of Victoria—even old Rewi’s performances paling before his. An interesting account of the performances of the son of Bonnie Carlisle has been prepared by an Australian scribe, who says’: —•* By way of showing how Hogmanay’s favours have been distributed, the amounts realised in excess of his selling prices by the various clubs on whose courses he has run total £2, 071 for races. He has won races on 17 different courses, viz.:—Towong, blemington, Dowling Forest, Richfield, Dandenong, Oakleigh Park, Miners’ Rest, Sherwood Park, Moonee Valley, Caulfield, Sandown Park, Elsternwick Park, Mentone, Williamstown, Aspendale Park, and Epsom. He won six races in 1886, two in iBB7> nine in 1888, four in 1889, 13 in 1890, seven in 1891, and six in 1892 ; it will therefore be seen that the old fellow’s most successful season was when he was ten years old. During Hoginanay’s long career on the turf he has frequently changed hands, but a majority of his most recent victories have been in a great measure due to the skilful treatment of his present mentor, Mr. I. T. Carslake, of Caulfield, whose exceptional skill in patching up cripples is proverbial. That Hogmanay was one of these is undeniable, but in the hands of his clever trainer his blemishes appear to have become callous, and as age apparently cannot wither him, it is possible that the gallant old gelding may.gQ on selling races ad, infinitum. Hogmanay’s winnings in stakes alone aggregate
