THE AUCKLAND RACING CLUB SUMMER MEETING.

PRESENT uppe.irnnccs would seem to indi cate that the forthcoming Summer Meeting of the Auckland Racing Club will be the most successful yet held here, and we may, I think, safely anticipate some grand racing. Mr Pilbrow's formidable team, which consists of Welcome Jack, Envious, Clarence, Barbary, and Ugly Buck, are already on the way, and may be expected to arrive here on Monday next, while The Poet will also arrive on the same day, and Escopeta in the Southern Cross to-morrow. The first forfeit, which was due last night, shows that the following lot still remain in the two big events : — AUCKLAND CUP, of SOOsovs. 2} miles. st.lb. stlb. Welcome Jack .. if 10 Envious .. ..7 0 Salvage .. .. 8 S The Poet .. .. 612 LadyKmmu .. Sfi Wapiti .. .. GlO Tunjuoise.. ..8 3 Nelson .. .. ClO Tim Whifller .. 712 Sirßedcvere ..

The Botcing Market. Although business lias been pretty brisk on the Auckland Cup this week, it has been mostly in small lines, and even when the list of those left in was issued last night it failed to cause any stir. Next week, how ever, things may be expected to settle down. The following is a true state of the odds : — 100 to 14 agflt Kscopeta (off) 100 to 12 — Salvage (off) 100 to 12 Turquoise (oil) 100 to 10 Welcome Jack (tk) 100 to 8 Libeller (oil') 100 to 7 -— Tim Whifller (tk and wtd) 101) to G The Poet (of!') 100 to S Maori (tk) 100 to sto 1 the others. It appears that the Southern division do not intend to even let us have the two-year old races at the Summer Meeting to our selves, for Mr Pilbrow is bringing up his colt Ugly Buck, bred by the Christchurch M iddle Park Stud Company. Fighting us on our own convincing ground will certainly lend quite an intercolonial interest to the " baby" races, and although it is yet far too early to talk about the merits of the Southerner, I think there are one or two in the Cliaafe stable that will be quite a match for him. Ugly Buck was got by the de funct King of Clubs from Hammock (dam of Somnus and Siesta), and at his first at tempt in the Nursery Handicap at the C.J.C. Meeting lie secured third place. HIPPONA. Wellington, this day. The Hutt Park Spring Handicap yester day resulted as follows :—Poet, 1 ; Odd Trick, 2 ; Miss Juan, 3. DUNBDIX, this day.—For the Trotting Race yesterday there wore twenty starters. Shillalegh, the favourite, won with ridic ulous ease, trotting in faultless style, Kaudell was second, and third. Time, 9mins, 17secs.

THE BIG METEOR.

* [BY TELKORAVH. —I'RESS ASSOCIATION.] RuNEnrN, Friday. A CORRESPONDENT of the evening paper tele graphs from Queenstown that tho enormous itrolite which was seen in the heavens there on Wednesday last struck tho earth near a farm, striking the ground with terrific force. The shock was felt throughout the whole district, and the atmosphere became clobo in the extreme. A portion of the surolite fell over Skippers, destroying a stable and setting a telephone bell ringing.

"THE LONDON WATCHMAKER AND JEWELLER."

(Extract from the Leading Article.) London, March 6,1583, " t • • While on the subject oi Waltham Watches, we way montion that vvo have seen a, letter from the cow mander of the Gordon Castle (Castle line of Steam-packets), who was fortunate enough to save life at sea, and who far his valiant conduct was presented in Soptember last with a Gold Keyless Waltham Watch by the President of the United States, on ba half of the London Local Marine Board. Referring to this presentation watch, he says : —'When I left London the watch WSVJ six seconds fast, and on my arrival at Sin gapore it was only threg sooonds slow, a most extraordinary performance for a watch, as I carried it on my person the whole of the time. I compared it every day witli my chronometers on the passage out, and it seldom or never differed one se.ccw4 from thorn ; in fact, I found it almost if n,ot as good as my chronometevs, V. Wch is a great thing to sa.v far o, watch owned about and subjcot to all kinds of jolts."

As soon as it had been tasted and proved by tho whole world that Hop Bittera was tho purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up, and began to steal tho notices in whlck the Press and tho people of tho country had expressed, the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce snffering invalids to uso their stui) instead, expecting to mako money on the credit and good namoof H.
