Not much work was done on the race course'this morning, most of the teams being exercised on private ground. The Dauphin is now first favorite for the Derby at 2to 1. He will be ridden by Ray. Matakau was backed heavily for the Cup last night. THE 0. J.C. HANDICAP.

The acceptances for the principal handi cap ofjthe Christchurch Spring Meeting are not so numerous as might have been expected from the large entry, only eleven paying the second instalment of the sweep, from a nomination of sixty-five. Of course the sending of Sir Modred and the others comprising Mr Prince’s . team to Melbourne, helped to lessen the number of competitors. I fancy the most of those left in the race will now see the post, and there should be a good race for it. Le Loup (9st 81bs) ran a grand horse last year at this meeting; carrying Bst 91bs he almost walked in for the Handicap. In the Cup, nothing could ask him to gallop; and even with a 71b penalty up, the Christchurch Plate proved an easy victory for Mermaid’s son. Were he in as good fettle now as he was then, there is nothing in the race that I would sooner stand; but a bad leg has prevented his trainer from sending him along very fast, and on that account he will not strip in first-class condition. That Le Loup can both carry weight and stay over a distance, he has conclusively proved, and he may pos sibly run into a place. Grip (Bst 61bs) has been a very warm favorite for the race for some time back. As a three-year-old, he commenced his career by running second to Hornby for the Derby. At the time he was by no means fit, and many thought that Grip would have turned the tables had his condition been better. His next venture was for the Dunedin Cup, of 1879, won by Mata with Bst 91bs up. He was the chosen of the stable, but did not run up to his private trial, and Foul Play finished a long way in front of him. On the second day of the Dunedin meeting he confirmed his Derby form, by beating Be trayer ’pretty easily in the St. Leger. This was his last appearance on the turf, having - enjoyed a spell all through last season. The horse must have done a good trial or two, as the stable have backed him to win the Cup also. If Grip is good enough to have a say- at weight-for age in the Cup, the Handicap is certainly over. Volunteer (Bst 21bs) has proved him self an unmistakeable duffer up to the pre sent time. He was greatly fancied by his friends for the last Dunedin Cup, and he finished a quarter of a mile behind Sir Modred. Perhaps when it is his day out he will do something wonderful, but until he reems his present bad reputation, it would not be wise to invest on him. Chancellor (7st 121 b) is possessed of plenty of speed but is, unfortunately, one of the biggest curs in the land. He has run his two best races for this event—second to Maritana on the-first occasion and beating her on the second. ; If in good humor he may make it hot for the most of the competitors; but I can’t stand a horse with a temper like his at any price. Libeller (7st 111 b) is quite another sort of gentleman to Chan cellor. Built rather on the small scale, he will never shine under a heavy weight, but a gamer bit of horse flesh never car ried a saddle. In the Auckland Cup he had the misfortune to come to grief and kill his rider (Nolan) or he would have gone very near winning our Northern neighbor’s big event. At almost exactly the same weights as they carried in the Cup, Libeller beat Foul flay in both the Grand Stand Handicap and Stewards’ Handicap; and with 9st up he won the Hawke’s Bay Racing Club Handicap. His next race was for the Wellington Cup, in which he had to play second fiddle to Natator (Bst 11b), carrying 7st 4lb ; but with Bst 41b in the pigskin he won the Racing Club Handicap. At Wanganui, Libeller’s bad luck stuck to him, as he ran second to Randwick in the Wanganui Stakes, and occupied the same place°in the Cup, won by Sir George. At the last autumn meeting he did not get a place in the Great Autumn Handicap, but wontheFlyingHandicaponthe second day. These are not all the seconds that Libeller ran last year, besides a few thirds, but they are the principal. He has been doing good work under Mr Mason’s charge at Yaldhurst, and from the satisfactory manner in which he has acquitted himself in private trials, his trainer thinks he has a big say in the Handicap, and the little son of Yatterina has been supported down to 4to 1. I hope Mr Walters won’t have the bad luck to run second again this yean Lady Emma (7st 101 b) has a great number of admirers, but I don’t think she will even get a place. She certainly won the Great Autumn Handicap with 6st 131 b, and the Easter Handicap carrying 7st 31b. In both these races the distance was more to her liking, and I prefer The Governor to the Great Autumn winner. The Governor is not burdened with weight at 7»t. All through last season this colt was never in good fettle, although he ran fairly well in the autumn. At even weights he defeated Lady Emma twice at the last Dunedin meeting, and at a difference of 101 b in his favor, Mr Horsford’s horse holds at least Lady Emma safe. I don’t think he is a very brilliant animal at his best, yet I would not be a bit astonished if he were to turn up the winner. The Dauphin (6st 101 b) is a doubtful starter, as he is also accepted for the, Derby. Should his owner: elect-to send him forthiaevent in preference", ought td 'ruh'djretty for-

Poyntz, The j promoters of this Prospectus, in introducing it to the public, wish to draw attention to the benefit to be derived from tjhe establishment in the County of Ashburton of Cheese and Butter Factories. (1) By the factory system the cost of manufacturing would be considerably lessened,. and the consequent profit arising therefrom give a greater return to all interested, and by reason of the uniformity 'obtainable, a greater demand also fir the manufactured article, at an increased, value, would be the result. (2) Farmers,' by selling their milk to the Cbmpany, will receive payment in cash, qnd consequently be in a position to purchase their goods at the store on a cash''basis, 'which will' hot only be ad vantageous to themselves, but will also materially assist to place trade generally throughout the County on a sounder footing, and will likewise find an outlet for the butter and cheese made, which at present farmers and storekeepers have a great difficulty in doing. (3) It would be the means of opening up a steady paying market for the pro duce 'which at present—during some portion of the year—will barely meet working expenses, and ships now being fitted with refrigerating apparatus, com bined iwith the prospect of direct steam communication at an early date with the Old Country, warrants'the promoters in anticipating and offering such an outlet. All further information desired can be obtained from the Secretary or any of the Directors. Application forms for shares will be issued in a few days. S. E. POYNTZ, 95f$c Interim Secretary.

Y. R (JIHE PUBLIC TRUST OFFICE. GUARANTEED BY THE STATE. Although this office has been in exis tence lor a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for whichit was established are not sufficiently understood. It is desired to set forth in a concise form information respecting the business which this office undertakes : 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, &c., &c. 2. The administration of the wills o persons who by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfil ment of their wishes, and to avoid the risk consequent on the appointment f ■private persons as executors, who not un frequontly, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, and conse quently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to pro tect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to in cur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the neces sary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts so far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. 6. The charge of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is un known, or who has been absent from the colony for ten years, having left nc known agent; The dost of adminiatering estates is very small. Information may be obtained from all agents. R. 0. HAMERTON, Public Trustee 29a
