The Dunedin visitors to your late Coursing Meeting speak well of the treatment received in your city, and would like to visit you again. There will be an endeavour to get your club to postpone their August meeting with that view, as our Champion Stakes take place on the Ist, sth and 6th August. Yours being advertised for the 16th the New Zealand Grand National intervenes, thus precluding them getting up in time. A ten days* postponement is desired. Verdi, Sweetwater, White Star And Bequeath are to be competitors in the Waterloo Cup. Heres to E’E., Courarito * and Lucia will be in the Bracelet. The following represent the members nominated for the Waterloo Cup and Bracelet, to be run off next week :— Waterloo Cup: E. Kidd, J. C. Jerome, : ■ ■' .... ■ iLAb ft

Sweetwater, Verdi and Pine Hut were about equal favourites straight out. Miss >Hill,.’of Wanganui, and Mr W. Proffitt, of Napier, are among the visitors. Boaz Crawshaw, a very old man, died last Thursday. He has been a resident here for. a quarter of a century, and was owfltf of wTot of good dogs, including Bed of Stope, winner one year, and runner up in -the Waterloo 'Cup. Lancashite > Ladv who recently ran at your meeting, was also his property. The handicap for the N-Z. Cup is not looked on here as up.to McHenry’s usual standard, having been subjected -to a lot of adverse criticism. The local horse Skirmisher is regarded as being very favourably weighted. He is now a big favourite here at i-oo to,-8.„ The following havealso been supported since the appearance of the weightsHippomenes ijoo-to 6, and.
