WELLINGTON.
The Ace off to Sydney—Permits granted to Otaki and Masterton Clubs—Lufra backed in Wellington — Bonovoree’s dividend too big. The jumper, The Ace (by Trump Card— Snowy River), has been sold as a hunter, and will be shipped to Sydney on Thursday night. The Otaki Maori Racing Club’s programme for May 25th has been passed. It is the same as originally issued. The Masterton-Opaki Club has been granted a permit for a meeting to be held on Thursday, June 4th, and the programme is the same as that issued for St. Patrick’s Day. Had the meeting been fixed a week earlier (20th inst.), the nine stone minimum would have been obviated. Lufra was sent down here as a good thing for the double at Avondale on Saturday, and was liberally supported. Surprise was expressed at the dividend Bonovoree paid in a field of five.
