TUo AueMiHia Summer Meeting.

Tin- weights for the Racing Club Handi cap, and Grand .Stand Handicap, to bo decided on Tuesday next, were declared yesterday afternoon. In both events, Welcome Jack heads the list with Ost 12lb,

not by any means too heavy an impost for such a performer, but I question whether his owner will cal' c to risk inclining a penalty for the big events at Wellington and Dunedin. After his running on Tuesday, Salvage cannot be reckoned out of it, even with fl.-t 41b, and either him, Tim Whifflor or Libeller" should bo re turned the winner. The latter is particu larly well-treated in both events, and should take a lot of beating in tho Grand Stand Handicap. The first forfeit is duo to-night (Saturday), at S o'clock.

Wattic lias been cigaged to ride the best of Major Gcorcie^ pair in the Derby. Harrison informs mo that Nelson lias greatly improved during the week. .\)r Stead is so disjointed at the tempor sliown by Sir Budoierc, that he lias decided lo "add liim b the list " and turn him out. While fuming in the Cup, I understand that the ton of Albany en deavoured lo bite Dua'itt, who was riding Welcome Jack.

Tho two-year-old col; Trenton has been scratched for all engagements at the Sum mer Meeting.

.Sloth who won tip Summer Cup in Sydney on BoxinJ Da;, is a full brother to .Miisuiierado.

Owing to tho (ii'iiigoicy of the new Vic torian Betting Act, a lumber of the leading bookmakers, including J, J. Miller, have decided to settle in Sylney.

Since lie won tit Wfajfjfa, Countryman is reported to have boa sold by Yeomans to Mr A. F. Smart for .COO.

Stratford, a I|rht4'eiglit jockey, has arrived at Christchufch from Australia. His first mounts wen at Amberley, when lie rode Gold Coast ,k> victory in the Northern Handicap. le is looking out for enii 1 lyir.ent. Borne of the Anstralin ''books" are very dilatory in settling aor the late V.R.tJ meeting. Up to a fevjdays ago tho Hon. J. White hacl not rec#cd the whole of his £■10,000 for Martini-Uftri's win. It is rumoured in Sidney that Huxley intends to institute <i action for libel against a Sydney jdrnal, which made some very severe comijnts upon his riding of Archie in tho V.K.| Derby, and esti mates the damage don.to his character at £10,000.

Mr 0. G. Stead liaf-iiirchnsod the well known Australian coo Ike He arrivec at Christchurch on Tlrtday. Hippo na.
