DUNEDIN NOTES.

The draw for the Waterloo Cup took place on Tuesday night, and resulted as follows : —Shylock meets Ljnn Regis, Wallace meets Nightingale, Faster and Faster meets Legerkeeper, King Lear meets Duckwing, Castorina meets Hazeldean, Lord Roseberry meets Deceit. There are thirty-six dogs in the Bracelet and eleven in the St. Leger. After the draw for the Waterloo Cup, there was some straight-out wagering, and quotations closed as follows : —lOO to 20 Shylock, 100 to. 16 ..Faster and Faster, 100 to 16 Lynn Regis, 100 to Duckwing, 100 to 10 Deceit, 100 to 10 Hazledean. All the foregoing were backed to win the stake.

A move was made to back Lord Roseberry (a Victorian dog) for the Waterloo Cup, but the price could not be agreed upon. Bar him and those mentioned above, the prices offered varied from 100 to 8 to 100 to 5. The introduction of the foot races has, so far, been a great success, very large entries having been received.
