The remaining courses will be decided on Saturday. There were only two “no courses” during the two first rounds of the Challenge Stakes. There was lively wagering on Friday and Mon" day night in connection with the Auckland Coursing Club’s Challenge Stakes. Besides the individual wagering, W. Proffitt laid Dan McLeod £6OO to £2OO that he picked the winner in five, naming Lizzie Godfrey, Balfe, Ronda, Luck’s All, and Pretty May. W. Proffitt also accepted £lOO to £2O that Lizzie Godfrey and Balfe would be winner and runner-up. Lizzie Godfrey was beaten in her first course by Stormfiend. I think the Napier penciller will have to rely on Luck’s All to win for him.
