THE WELLINGTON STAKES.
The big event on the programme for to-morrow at Wellington is the Wellington Stakes, a five-furlong dash for two and three-year-olds. Armlet and Gipsy Belle are the only two of the latter age engaged. Armlet, when running in Auckland, managed to eflect a surprise by beating the crack two-year-old Broadsword, and it will be of interest to note whether that was only a flash in the pan or whether Mr. Greenwood’s filly is capable of repeating the victory. Those left in at the time of writing, are the following, but of course the number will be considerably reduced: — Mr W. E Bidwill’s b g Expansion, by ’ Birkenhead Immersion, 2yrs Sir Geo.
