NOTES BY HIPPONA.

The Australian Jockey Club Spring Meet ing was to have commenced at Randwick to day, the leading event set down for decision being tho Derby, in which it is ex pected the Auckland-bred colt Martini- Henry will make his turf debut. Up to Thursday Reutor's cablegrams stated that ho was a firm favourite for the event, but news to hand to-day informs us that the Queensland colt La Grand, by Epigram from Legend, shares the honour, and is as good a favourite. Lo Grand is greatly Fancied in Sydney, according to private wires, and all the money in tho local market at fours and fives was accepted about him yesterday. Great interest Ls being taken in the result of the race in Auckland and it is to be hoped that the .Yhitc stable will not be so far out in their judgment as they were over Monmouth and Segenhoe in previous years. On Tuesday, the Great Metropolitan Stakes will bo contested, the following boing the names of those who re mained in at last advices :— st-lb- st. lb.

G 12 } Including 51b penalty. On the strength of last Saturday's run ning, First Demon heads the betting list for the event at 7 to 1, Sardonyx being at 8 to 1, Navigator at 10 to 1, and Norman at 12 to 1. With such a light impost as Gst 51b, the Ha.vkesbury Handicap winner should have a great say in the race, and after the form he has shown, there is no tolling how good a colt he is. However, Sardonyx will meet him on 41b better terms on Tuesday, so that the positions may be reversed, and the son of Fireworks and Onyx always has the knack of coming at the right end when the majority of the field are in distress. With Despot knocked out of it, tho Hon J. White has now only Morpeth and Gloucester to do battle for him, and the selected one may be hard to beat. Mr De Mestre's Nicholas is well treated on the score of weight, and with 7st 111b, Masquerado has another opportunity of re peating last year's coup, but who knowg that the mighty Navigator, despite his im post, may carry it to victory, and thus eclipse all his previous performances ? At a Committee meeting of the Takapuna Jockey Club held on Wednesday evening, tho programmes for the forthcoming season were brought up, and finally decided upon. The Club propose to give away £815 in added money at the threo meetings, dis tributed as follows: —Spring Meeting, £243 j Summer, £295 ; Autumn, £275. The hoads of tho programmes supplied to me by Mr Peel, the Secretary of the Club, read thus :— Spftixo MBi-TiNO, Saturday, Ist December.— Spring Handicap of .Osovs., Handicap Hurdles of lOsovs., St. Andrew's Handicap of 75sova, Novel Soiling Raco of 20sovs., Handicap Steeple chase of SOsovs., Stewards' Plate Handicap of 20sovs. Summer Meeting, Anniversary Day, 29th January. — Ferry Plate Handicap of 25sova, Handicap Hurdles of lOsovs., Takapuna Jockey Club Handicap of HOsovs., Flat Selling Plato of 2-sovs., Handicap Steeplechase of 75sovs., Con solation of 20sovs. Autumn Meeting, St. Patrick's Day, 17th March.—Flying Stakes of 30sovs. (for two-year olds and upwards). Selling Handicap Hurdles of OOsovs., St. Patrick's Handicap of 80sovs., Flat Selling Plate of SOsovs., Handicap Steeplechase of 75sovb., Ladies' Purse of 20sovs. Matters in the betting world have been rather quiet this week, but two of tho pencillers, not caring to let the grass grow under their feet, opened books on the coursing, and did a fair amount of business. Yesterday the great Metropolitan Stakes came into notice, First Demon being backed in small lines at 7's to 1, Sardonyx and Navigator at 10's to 1, and Nicholas at 15'stol. The two-year-old filly Woodnymph, (Martini-Henry's sister), was shifted from Kohimarama this week. She has gone - into Chaafe's stable at Ellerslie. To act as runner-up to First Demon in the Hawkesbury Handicap was certainly a bit of bad luck for Sardonyx, the honest son ol the New Zealand Stud Company's maro IE Onyx. In this respect he seems to bo a second Strathearn, for on live occasions last season he had also to becontent with this un profitable honour, and strange to say, one of the events was the Hawkesbury Autumn Handicap, i In all of the races tho horse that did him had the pull of the weights, and on Saturday he was conceding 381b to First Demon, so that his performance was anything but a bad one. The YVanganui mare Mystery, located a* . Lumsden's, Green Lano, during tho winter, | has changed hands, two Dargaville sports men, Messrs Douglas and Nelson, having purchased hor. I understand tho price paid was £120. The New Zealand Stud Company's mara Crinoline dropped a filly foal to Cadogan this week. At Papakura, Yattcrina dropped a colt to Piscatorious, and Grand Duchess a filly to Anteros. Although speculation on the New Zealand Cup is by no means brisk in Christchurch, it is not at .. standstill, a number of wagers having lately been taken. 500 to 35 has been accepted about Envious, 1000 to 60 Hippodamia, 600 to 45 Turquoise and Bundoora, 300 to 20 Matanaka, 500 to 35 Cheviot, 200 to 6 Fame,'. and 500 to 10 Minerva. Tho following are the latest odds offered :— 100 to 8 agst Bundoora, Envious, Hippodamia, Tasman, Matanaka, welcome Jack, Turquoise 100-7 Adamant, Cheviot Sou-wester 100 to 5 to 1 agst the others. Kalo is to be shipped for Napier oo Thursday next. Sutherland will hart charge of him. ■ -_ I have to acknowledge the receipt of tha programme for the Wellington Racing Club Spring Meeting, fixed lor the 30th of November. The added money amounts to For Remainder of Sporting News «• j Supplement.

THE WAVERLEY HOTEL.

(To tho Editor.) Sin,—lf the public rumour is tmo, wo ara to have anothor hotel in the immediate vicinity of the Queen-streofc Wharf j and that in spite of whatever protest may be offered, and againt law evon, the Licensing Committee, or at least a majority of them, have agroed that thoy will grant a license to this new place, and snap their fingers a. public opinion. Tho constitution of the present Licensing Committeo as it stands iv connection with the application for the transfer of the Wavorley license, . is one that cannot be other than biassed towards tho granting of the license. Two out of tho five are members of tho City Council and the Har bour Board, and ono is a member of a firm that are solicitors for the applicant, so I learn, as his name has been mentioned in the meetings of the Council in connection with the matter. With a committee so constituted, I do not see how justice to the public can bo obtained. It i. urged that this hotel is to supply tho groat need of a family hotel. Such is all bosh. I doubt if it will ever be anything else than a drinking saloon ; an hotel to supply gvog unlimited to our now little-protectedseamen. It is argued that the houso will be a con venience to tho public; far from it, for the additional drinking facilities it will gh'O will only add to the inconvenience of tho public, and will prove an additional source of dangcrto the public. Employers of labour on tlie wharf will feci tho evil of its existence. They now feel quite enough of it from the close proximity of hotels to the wharves. I think Messrs Mays and Lamb and others deservo credit for their action at the last Harbour Board meeting, which action would havo been successful had it not been for tho presence of City Council members at that meeting who are evidently determined to see the hotel granted regardless of everything) and so will cany their influence even towi« Licensing Bench ; and, by their presence on it, do a great wrong to all who are engaged in business at that end of the city, and w the owners of allotments recently purchase on tho same reclamation. I do trust, M* Editor, you will use your pen in «h matter, and assist in clearing us of tins proposed additional drinking facility.— *■ am. &c., _ __„ WhabjtM.
