Immediately this scion was taken the fcultan issued an irade, accepting the strategetic frontier of Thessaly and abandoning his claim to fche whole of Thessaly.

SPORTING NOTES.

(By "Senex.")

The Grand National Hurdle Race this y«»r ia made up mostly of some of our best performers on the Sat, and i! the majority of them can be brought out proficient timber toppers, a good deal of interest will be centred in that event. The stake money having been increased may have had the effect of inducing the erstwhile fiat racers to take a hand in the jumping line. At all events, the field for the big hurdle race is the best that has been seen out, the list being a particularly long one. As some of the horses engaged in thin event are also'among those engaged in the Steeplechase, in commenting on the lespeotive prospects of those figuring in the Hurdle Race, I will simply confine my remarks to those who will doubtless be reserved for that event, and forfeit their Steeplechase engagement. St. Simon heads the list with the crusher of 13 5, and 1 take the liberty of at once dismissing the crack Aucklauder from having any chance what ever at the weight apportioned to him. [St. Simon has since been scratched.] Donald BlcKinnoa 12 0 is asked to carry quite enough, and he does not strike me as being dangerous. Melinite 11.9, has been ac

member of the frost rank, but I think her light; is nearly blown out. Tally-ho 11.6, is fairy well treated in view of her recent achievement, but I like Ann&belle Quite as well at a pound lighter. Social Pest is regarded as about the best hurdle horse in North Canterbury, and at 11.5 will be handy at the finißh. Were Lsvanter to come down I think he will foifeithis husdle race engagement in preference to the Steeple, and ( on that account I will sot discuss his chance. Dummy ia let off very well indeed with 1043, and whatever beats him will not be far out of it. lie? has been a disappointing customer of late, and has done nothing of pote for a long time. He would require a deal of improvement on past essayß befote pofeßesaing a first-class chance. Golden PloTer ancftited a hurdle race at Hawke's Bay lost meeting, and covered the mile and three*quarters in fast time, I'he son of Forerunner must be reckoned with. Hippo-

menei is reported to be jumping slovenly, and Jewel possesses pace enough to win if she can fence well. Sylvia Park is a doubt ful oonteßtatt; but Quiltiri will answer the roll call, and aa he is a stayer must be given a show. Penrose and Kalmea are new to the jumping business j but Prince Charlie is a fair horse over sticks, but I cannot have him for the race in question. Chaos, Bangipai, and Voltigeurare all fast, but are not to my liking, however. Of the rest engaged I have a regard for Mu ccatel of the light-weight division, but I will not harass sporting readers with a long epistle devoted tb the small fry. To sum up one of Mr Henry's best efforts, I will name Dummy, golden Plover, and Social Pest as standing pub prominently the pick of a fjrst-class lot.

Paßtor Saiter's mission at the Tabernacle is proving very successful, and is being well Attended, both afternoon and evening.

The funeral of the late Mrs Taylor took place yeaterday afternoon, and was largely attended. Rev. Mr Mather, of Willowby, conducted the service in the Weuleyan chapel, and also at the grave.

We regret to learn that MrD. McCormaek, of Valetta, met with a bad accident bo-day, having been severely kicked on the stomach by a boree. He waa brought into Ashbur ton, and is being attended by Dr Hunter, at Devane'a Hotel,

The Star of the East Lodge, 1.0. G.T., held thtif weekly meeting on Wednesday evening in the Templar Hall. Bro. Price, on behalf of the Pride of the Hills lodge, applied 'for and waa granted the use of fche emblems and bannerettes for their anniversary to be held shortly." Arrange mente were made for a social evening to take place on August 1L Harmony was then indulged in, after which members were reminded that the election of officers would take place next meeting.

* Most of the plant for the Barrytown mine ie now on the way from Dunedin. There fans been some delay in the matter of pipes. About) 1000 ft more piping was wanted than bad been originally contracted for, and the contractors not having the necessary iron in stock, and failing to procure it in the colony, have hsd to seek it elsewhere. The snow «n the ranges too, will prevent espedi iloiia movittg of the plant,! and alao-delay the intended visit to' the coast of Ifecfera SSander and Thomas to arrange for the transit of the plant from Grey mouth to the glaim.
