Our Illustrations.

Our illustrations this week include sketches of the successful Polo Sports Meeting, held at Potter’s Paddock on Saturday. A picture is also given of the South Australian filly, Thunder Queen, who won the V.R.C. Oaks at the late Spring Carnival. Many curious things are rumoured in connection with Thunder Queen’s running in that classic event, but it may be accepted that she was the best filly in the race and won on her merits. Uniform and The Possible, who both distinguished themselves at the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting—the former by winning the Derby and the latter by annexing the Metropolitan—are both interesting subjects to racing men. We will probably see Uniform performing at the Auckland Summer Meeting, but the possession of a suspicious leg will prevent our seeing him at present. There is also a picture of bicycle rider A. Campbell, who has been appointed to represent Auckland at the Wellington and Christchurch meetings.
