Suwarrow, who won the Derby in 1879, ran third for the Cup.

NOTES BY HIPPONA.

The revolving wheel of time has once more brought round the eve of that all important afternoon for the decision of the great turf event of the year—The Melbourne Cm— which will be fought out at Flemington on Tuesday next. The race closed in June last with 150 nominations, New Zealand being directly or indirectly represented in the list by that good horse Sir Modred (who has loft our shores), last season's champion Welcome Jack, the much-talked of Auck land-bred colt, Martini-Henri, the un fortunate Bundoora,and speedy Rubina; but out of the five, only Sir Modred and Martini- Henri now remain in to represent the land of the Maori. Some months ago it was not thought unlikely that Mr Pilbrow's colt would be sent over to measure strides with Navigator, Commotion and Go., but later circumstances have shown that such is not the case, and the brilliant son of Traducer and Miss Flat is to "do battle" in his own home. Although we have never yet suc ceeded in appropriating the much-coveted and rich prize offered by the premier racing institution of Australia, we have shown the sportsmen of the sister colonies on their own convincing grounds that horses bred by us are quite equal to any thing they possess, for it is not so long sine» wo gave them a taste of our excellence with Lurline, Calumny, LeLoup, and Mata, the former winning the Australian and Adelaide Cups, also running third for the Sydney Gold Cup, while Calumny has her name emblazoned on the scroll of the winners of the Hawkesbury and Newmarket Handi caps. Having said so much by way of prelude, it now devolves upon me to go through the chances of the 35 candi dates who paid the second forfeit on Tuesday last and I may mention, in doing so, my remarks are based entirely upon reading-up and private information thatnas been received by me. The first to claim attention is Commotion, who holds the pride of place with the steadier of lOst lib, and despite all his first-class running last season under heavy weights, I raust dis card him, for in my opinion he will never get to the front in such a fast-run race as the one under notice is likely to be; and the same remarks will equally apply to Sir Modred (9st 81b). The unlucky Sweet William (9st 51b) is reported to be going in something like his old form, but he too, I am afraid, will be found out when the final question is asked,while more than this, I think he is one of those who has had his day. Had The Gem (9st 41b) not incurred a 71b penalty for winning the Metropolitan Stokes, his chance must have been a good one, but as matters now stand, I think no is another whose prospects have been shat tered. Stockwell (Bst 131b) is the first can didate on the list that finds favour in my eyes, for weight will never stop him, and that he is a race horse there can be little doubt. In the last Melbourne Cup he made all the running with 7st 61b in the saddle, and finished second, while at the V.R.C. Meeting, with Bst 71b up, ho won the Autumn Handicap in the most hollow fashion, his trainer at the time not thinking him forward enough to have a 20 to 1 show. His Sydney Cup running soon after this was hardly in keeping with his Melbourne form, but little notice can be taken of that, as he receded in the betting some few days before the race. Cunnamulla (8stl01b) is another great weight-carrier, and for proof of this we have only to go back to last November, when he won the Wagga Wagga Cup with 9st up, covering the two miles in 3.34}. He is just the sort to create a surprise when least expected, but is such a bad-tempered animal you cannot trust him. On his Caulfiold Cup running, Calma (Bst 71b) is one of the number that raust have a good look in, and with such a stout pedigree as he can boast of, he should be able to stay every inch of the distance. His party have put down their money on him with such a will that he now occupies. the most prominent position in the betting market, but whether he will share the general fate- of the Cup favourite remains to be Been. With Bst 31b, I can't see that Archie will have a chance, even if he does win the Dorby; while Nicholas, who was picked <tut as a good thing when the weights first appeared, does not seem to be giving satisfaction in his work during the last two or three weeks. The perform ances of Mr De Mestre's horse have little to recommend him, but it is said that last season he was only pulled out to assist Navigator, and many incline to the, opinion that he might have beaten Morpeth in the Sydney St. Leger had he chosen. In the Caulfiold Cup the other week, he was blocked at tho turn, and finished fourth with 51b more than he is called upon now to carry, so that he should prove very daugerous if the selected one of the stable. The heavily backed First Water (Bst) is a horse that has shown a deal of good form during his career, but I am afraid constant work has caused a loss of his brilliancy, so I will pass him over; while Magnet (Bst)," in my opinion, is overburdened, but he belongs to a sportsman from whom danger is likely to come. Little can bo said about Off Colour (7st 121b) until he shows his form in the Derby, but Pollio (7st 121b), who is getting through his studies in a most satisfactory way, is one of those who may cause trouble. Dirk Hatter wick (7st 101b), on public form, must also be respected; but on the other hand, his performances have been more remarkable for their number than brilliancy, and he has yet to praye whether he can hold his own in first class company. Anglesey (7st 101b) is one of the best outsidors in the race; Jessie (7st 91b) I do not fancy for soxual reasons, and Kings dale (7st 81b), is overweighted, but Lo Grand (7st olb), in the same stable as Calma, I have the greatest rospeot for, and ho should play a most pro minent part in the fray, for he has no end of pace, and his Kandwick Plate running shows there is no doubt about his staying abilities. He has been doing good sound work since he put in his appearance at •Flemington, so that we may expect to see him carry Mr Wallace's " black and whito " banner very prominently. Santa Claus(7st 51b) hasalsoshown that hecan foot it in the best of company, and has under gone a most careful preparation at the skilled hands of Mr F. F. Dakin ; but still I cannot fancy him, while the un performed Martini-Henri (7st 41b) has yet to prove his worth, and Claptrap's previous performances have little to recom mend him. Recovery (7st 21b)is ahorse whose name has been given a deal of pub licity to, but so far he has never done much to justify it. Still, as he has been well backed, and belongs to a party who make few mistakes, it is only reasonable that his chance should not be overlooked, and Signor (7st lib) may be reckoned a good outsider. Despot (7st) is one of the the nicely-handicapped division, and as he is reported to be looking and going well, should be in it a long way ; while Dukedom (7st), who has only run once unsuccessfully, belongs to the dangerous St. Albans stable. Koh-i-noor (7st) I pass over, but Aide-dc- Camp (7st) is one of the plums of the handicap. Whether he or Nicholas, how ever, will bo the Simon Pure of the De Mestre stable is a matter that has puzzled turfites for some time past, and until the numbers are hoisted on Tuesday I don't suppose we will be one whit wiser about the matter. "Present appearances certainly point to Aide-de-Camp, and I learn that lately he has been doing as he liked with Nicholas in their work. The great races that First Demon (Gst 121b) ran in the

Royal Stakes, Hawkesbury Handicap and Metropolitan Stakes,together with his light impost, put in a powerful claim for his chances of victory and it is my opinion that he will be about when the whips are cracking. Lesbia (Cst 121b), Vernet (Gst 121b), Sardius (6st 111b), Linda (6st 101b) Kathleen Mavourneen (Gst Olb), Bor deaux (Cst 91b) and Bis Bis (Gst 81b), re present the extreme light division, of whom Sardius, the Caulfield Guineas winner, should be tho best, and to sum up, I think the winner is concealed in tho following lot:—The selected of the De Mestre stable (Aide-de-Camp or Nicholas), the former for choice, Stockwell, Le Grand, Despot First Demon, and Calma, and if I were asked to try and pick it in three I should select— Aide-de-camp Stockwell, and Le Grand. While tho sportsmen of Australia are witnessing the contest for "The Cup" on the Flemington sward, Christchurch sports men will be equally busy at Riccarton, for next Tuesday is also the day selected for tho running off of the first New Zealand Cup. What with a bad handicap and the fact of being run on the same day as the great Melbourne event, it seems that the race is not to take the stand predicted by its pro moters, as out of the large nomination of 66 only thirteen accepted on Monday night, and the final payment of 10 soys., duo to night (Saturday), may be the means of still further reducing the number. The names of those at present left in and the imposts they will carry are as follows :— st.lb. at lb Welcome Jack, i Nonsense. 4yrs .. 7 12 yrs 9 3 TimWhifllcr,6yrs 7 10 Tasman, syrs ..89 Envious, syrs ..74 Cheviot, 4yre ..8 9 The Jilt, 4yrs ..7 0 Lady Emma, 6yrs 8 8 Adamant, aged ..70 Mischief, Cyrs ..88 Hippodamia, syrs 7 0 Turquoise, 4yrs .. 8 i Tho Poet, Cyrs .. (Sl2 Cheviot is first favourite for the race at 2 to 1, but if we take his public running as a guide, he is not entitled to the position with such an impost as Bst 91b, for the best performance opposite his name is winning the Canterbury Derby in a slovenly manner from a poor field. Still, the very fact of him being an inmate of the clever Robin son stable is quite sufficient to surround him with danger, and as they do not put their money down except upon good ones, I am much mistaken if he does not finish among the leaders. Turquoise is another horse that bids fair to run well forward, and as he is said to be in great nick, is also sure to render a good account of himself, while danger may come from Hippo damia, who is nicely handicapped at 7st. Tho one, however, that I fancy most and think will be the hardest to beat is Tasman, for he has all the public form in his favour. With all sorts of weights up, and at all kinds of distances, ho has proved himself to be a real good animal, and as he is very well, the son of St. Albans and Zillah may be depended upon to run a brilliant race. Between him, Cheviot, and Turquoise, I think the finish will be confined, and to make a selection from the three, my vote will be given to Tasman, The Victoria Racing Club Spring Meeting was to have commenced this afternoon, and will be continued next Tuesday, Thursday, and the following Saturday. The two lead ing events set down for today were the Derby and Maribyrnong Plate, in the former of which Martini-Henri will make his turf debut. If he succeeds in overthrowing Archie there will bo great rejoicing in Auckland, but the victory of either will not be welcomed by the " ring," who have laid the pair heavily in their doubles. The Auckland Racing Club Spring Meet ing takes place next Saturday, but owing to the interest over the Melbourne Cup and Derby, there has been but little speculation on the gathering so far. From present ap pearances, it would seem as if Kenilworth will be served up pretty warm for the Spring Handicap, while Woodpecker is greatly fancied for the Hurdles. During the forthcoming week, however, I hope to see the horses in work, and my opinions on the various events will be recorded in Friday evening's Star. The acceptances and entries for the meeting, received last night, are as follows :— Speing Handicap, U mllo. st lb st lb irishwoman,. .. 810 Viceroy.. ..74 Maori 8 8 Mitraillouse ..7 2 Kalo 8 6 Moonstone ..

The Pakuranga Hunt Club Meeting on Saturday last furnished a most enjoyable afternoon's sport, the majority of the events being well contested. Mr Lennard'a stable was in great form—Chandler, who looked big and well; justifying the confi dence placed in him by winning the Hunt Cup and Members' Hurdle Race, while Fly also secured the Selling Steeplechase for the Three Kings sportsman. There was a deal of regret expressed atTricotrinbeine withdrawn from the Hunt Cup, and the easy way in which he won the Open Steeple chase caused people to ask whether he would not have beaten Chandler had they met. Mr Adams passed over £900 through the totalisator, the beet dividend of the day being £1 17s on Fly in the Selling Steeplechase.

CONDENSED ITEMS.

Jessie has been scratched for tho Mel bourne Cup. Messrs T. and S. Morrin's Maid of Athol has foaled a colt to Musket.

Nominations for the Wellington Cup are due on Monday next, at 10 p.m. Mr. Byers has named his Musket—Georgia three-year-old colt Prince George. The Australian Jockey Club havo re ceived 93 nominations for the Summer Cud run on Boxing Day. r Zulu, the Melbourne Cup winner of 1881 has been relegated to the stud, his fee being five guineas. Tricotrin changed hands yesterday, Mr •Harding (owner of Moonstone) havine pur chased him for £75, and Mr Lushington also bought Fly from Lennard for £50. A little bird whispers me that Maori and Fishwoman were tried at Papakura over the Spring Handicap distance last Thursday, when the old rogue easily done Fish woman.

Sir W. J. Clarke's Bordeaux, thought such a good thing for tho Melbourne Cup some time ago, pulled up bleeding from the nose after a gallop at Flemington the other week. It was thouglit he had broken a blood vessel.

Messrs Blaikie, Enko, Lyons, and Gal lagher intimate in their advertisements that they " bet all in on the day " on races at a distance. This is owing to several dis putes that have taken place lately over horses scratched early on the morning of a race.

Mr A. F. Smart made a capital bargain when he bought Brown and Rose (late Charming) from Mr Fennelly. Besides her recent win at Randwick, she also secured the Nursery Handicap on the second day of the Caulheld Meeting, beating a field oi twelve.

Mr J. Marshall has purchased from the Now Zealand Stud Company a two year-old filly by Musket from Locket, and given her' the appropriate name of Necklet. Sho has gone into Laing's hands to receive her education. Mr J. Balmain has also leased from the Company tho. three-year-old colt St Leger, by Doncaster— Atalantis. The Hon. J. White's two-year-old filly. Superba, by Maribyrnong—The Fawn, has been scratched for the Maribymong Plate. All through the winter she was one of the favourites for the Two-Year-Old Derby, but when put into fast work it was soon" found out that she was not the best of Mr.; White's string, and as she failed to improve, the pen had to be put through her name. ;
