DUNEDIN NOTES.

Only a dozen entries have been received for the Waterloo Cup, but the other events are well patronised. The National Coursing Club intend holding some foot-racing in the interval. An active canvas is being made for stakes and entries. The innovation is expected to be a success, a good many, so far, having expressed their intention of competing. 1 The falling-off in the Waterloo Cup is attributed to decreasing the entry money, which rendered the stake hardly worth running for, especially as most of the owners have to come a long distance to compete. I expect to see it go up to £lO each dog next season, as since the reduction there has gradually been a falling-off.
