WELLINGTON.

[by wire.] January 22. •Dr Bennett has decided to give up horse-racing, owing to private reasons, and his horses .>re for sale. Review has gone lame. Premier Cole did not fun up to his true form at the Hutt to-day. Look out for squalls from her ere long. T. Taylor was presented with a goldmounted whip by Mr Tom Pollard at the •Opera House to night for riding the winner of the Cup. Mahaki’s connections are dissatisfied with the imposts awarded their horse in the Newmarket Handicap and Australian Cup, but it is probable the horse will go over the water nevertheless. Tote betters got a gruelling on the course to-day, the public picking winners in rare style. Lady Zetland’s party would have landed a coup had the mare got home. The Hon. J. D. Ormond had £5O each on Spindrift and Spruce. Con. Boyle had his horses really well. A successful and cute trainer is “ Con.” The sum of £740 was received from outside sources for investment at the races to-day. Close on £lOO was for Mahaki in the Cup, mostly Gisborne money.
