TALK OF THE DAY.

BY MAZEPPA.

* # * Mr E. Cubts has in vain asked the Canterbury Club to hold an inquiry into the alleged proposal to cut up the Wellington and Dunedia Cups, the club resolving that the matters referred to do not come within their jurisdiction. This decision is not to be wondered at — it was from the first possible that the O. J.O. would decline to interfere — but Mr Outts need not be disheartened thereby nor discouraged from doing what he oan to exculpate himself. There is another course open to him, and in all sincerity I counsel him to adopt it. It is simply this : to write to the loading papers a full statement of the case so far as bis reputation may be affected, and challenge candid friand or open foe to controvert what he may assert. And it would be well if at the same time he were to give us his explanation of the St, Clair affair at the Dunedin May meeting. An appeal to the public may not bs the most satisfactory way of settling an affair of this sort, but I don't see what other means of redress is open to Mr Cutts. It is certain, at any rate, that if he has a good case he has nothing to lose by giving it the fullest publicity, and though by adopting the course proposed there cannot be any formal exoneration in the event of his success, there would ba on the other hand a great point gained in showing that there is nothing to conceal, and the very fact that he opened his mind would of itself constitute a strong argument in his favour. lam bound to Bay that I think Mr Cutts has a grievance against the Dunedin Jockey Club in that they did not prosecute the Dudu inquiry to a finish one way or the other ; and it would have been better for all concerned that St. Clair's running should have been formally inquired into and made the subject of an official verdict rather than that the affair should have been allowed to drift in a casual way before the bar of a public opinion that has no reliable data on which to form a judgment. ♦ # * Another contribution to the fragmentary information that is gradually leaking out about the business referred to above is the statement by the Canterbury Times, which says that " Piper's explanation of Sultan's indifferent running in the Wellington Cup is that the horse's plates were put on the wrong feet, and interfered with his galloping." Strange, is it not, that it should have taken just six months to find this out. If Mr Piper or Mr Hammond had mentioned the fact at the time there would have been less talk about the Wellington running. Perhaps the next thing we shall hear is that Billy White sat the reverse way in the saddle, or that by accident the horse was hobbled ! *** Late English papers record the death of the stallion Muncaster. He waa by Doncaster out of Windermere. and was bred in 1877 by the Duke of Westminster, in whose colours he came out with a great reputation for the Two Thousand Guineas of 1880, but was beaten a head by the Duke of Beaufort's Petronel. In the Derby, which was won by his stable companion Bend Or, he was unplaced, and Mb only other performance waa at Ascot, where he beat six opponents for the Twenty-seventh Triennial ptakes. At the Btud, whither he was sent the' following season, he was fairly successful, and perhaps the best of his progeny was Saraband, who, however, had the misfortune to be contemporaneous with such flyers as Ormonde and Minting, both of whom finished before him in the Two Thousand three years ago. He was also the sire of Harpenden and Lady Muncwter, who have won Borne good races in their time. The death of Muncaster, whose fee was 50gs, is a great loss to Mr Peck, who last year declined an offer of £10,000 for him. »„* An incident occurred at Longchamps, writes a Paris correspondent, which shows the necessity for some alteration of our racing law. According to the rules now in force, no owner is compelled to make a declaration, and when running two horses can win with whichever he likes. M. Lupin ran a couple, Acheron and Bocage ; the former weighed out with the first colours, and the second bad the belt. Acheron was a very warm favourite from the moment the number opposite his name went up, and had been backed heavily overnight at the bet-

ting houses with which M. Goblet has inundated Paris under pretence of moralising the turf. M. Lupin found that he could not back Acheron, and so he turned round and put his money on Bocage, shifting the second colours or belt on to Bocage without, however, making any declaration as to the change he had made. He was not compelled to do so, and it is questionable whether the stewards would, in the present state of the law, have taken any notice of the deduotion, since those who have gone the rounds can remember how Borne country stewards, at a meeting held near Deauville, were beguiled by a foreign nobleman into writing up a declaration which, when the race was run, appeared to have been only made to ixißlead the ring. At any rate Bocage won the race, and although M. Lupin showed that hia money was on that horse by allowing him to carry his first colours, those who had forestalled him by backing, Acheron and taking the market hissed bis horsea as they walked back to the weighing incloaure. A man does not keep his horses as the vehicle for betting by the general public, and it is unfair to make any unfavourable comments on the conduct of a gentleman who avails himself of the privileges conferred on him by racnig law. *** Many of those who intend having a shot about the New Zealand Cup or the Melbourne Cup are holding off until they know for certain whioh horses are going to Australia. This cautiousness is to be commended, but it is useless and unjust to blame owners for reticence on the subject. My own opinion is that Maxim will goto Melbourne and race in the Cup there if he should train on as satisfactorily as at present, and I have an idea that the Hon. W. Robinson will send Chain Shot and Merrie England to have a cut in at the good things provided by the V.R,C. But I don't think it is quite settled that this pair, or either of them, will make the voyage, and my idea is founded more on a guess than anything else. If Dan O'Brien goes across — his movements also are uncertain — ho will, I think, take Dunkeld and one or two of hia youngsters, leaving Vandal to represent him in New Zealand. Corunna is pretty sure to stay here, but Cuirassier is not bo sure. Mr Duder has made a trip to the other aide, and poisibly he may be making some arrangements about ihe brother to Trenton. At present all is uncertainty about the intentions of the owners mentioned, excepting that I fancy Maxim is booked for the voyage. The wise backer will still wait and forbear from attempting to forestall owners. * # * The Sportsman says that in 1832 was offered for competition at ABcot a prize that created no small amount of interest. This was the hoof of Eclipse, set in gold, presented to the Jockey Club by William the Fourth, to bejun for annually at Ancot as a challenge prize. Rundell and Bridge were the firm to whom the setting of the hoof was entrusted. The offer of the trophy seems to have stirred the racing world in no small degree, and one enthusiast " dropped into poetry " on the'subject, beginning his verses thus : Immortal foot— eternal toe— Of hoofs the A and Z i Sole relic of our lost Eclipse, ! The quickest of the dead. I Hail, hail 1 i The conditions of the race Btood thus : — The Eclipse Foot, with 20030vs given by his Majesty, added to a sweepstake of lOOsovb each, for horßes th 6 property of members of the Jockey Club, three-year-olds and upwards. The distance to be run was two miles and ahalf. The entry proved an exceedingiylpoor I one, consisting of three horses only. Theaa were Lord Chesterfield's Priam, General Groß- | venor's Sarpedon, and Mr Stonehewer's Zany. The last-named did not run, and Priam beat Sarpedon in a canter. %* In the Cromwell Argus of the 13th it is asserted that not one single dissent had been received to the proposals of the local club. I do not understand this. What about Palmerston ? It is not to be supposed that the party ia the Cromwell Club who are making all this hiillabaloo would wilfully say what is not true. They have probably fdrgotten about Palmerfcton. Never mind. This club's reply may be recorded with that Bent by the Taieri Club. So far —that is up to the 12th — there were ti favourable replies — viz., from Oamaru, Maniototo, Vincent, Tapanui, Lumsden, Fortrose, Arthur's Point, Wanaka, Waipori, and the two clubs at Cromwell. Eleven out of 44 ; that is how the case stood at the date mentioned. The trouble will soon come to a crisis, for we are almost on the verge of the goldfielda racing season, and the clubs concerned will soon have to make up their minds as to whether they will have their programmes passed by the Dunedin Club or by the Cromwell Club. *** The comimttee of the Sydney Driving Park Club Intend, in the course of a few weeks, to remodel the system of measuring ponies and galloways, by making it compulsory for all horses engaged at their meetings to pans under the standard, and certificated will then be i^Bued at a nominal fee, as under '.—Two-year-olds, for four months ; three-year-olds, for Bix months ; four-year-olds, for one year ; five years snd aged, to sband good. At the end of the term for two, three, and four year olds, retpectively, the horses must be re-measured and fresh certificates will be issued. Owners will be permitted to witness the measurement, but the horaes must, in all cases, be in the hands of an employe of the club. %* Vasistas, winner of the Grand Prix, was the extreme outsider of the race, &a was his grandsire, in 1864; and it is another coincidence that Vermont waa the property^of Vasistas' owner. M. Delawarre. A French writer says that nobody could believe j that Vasistas bad a chance, and the II mutuelß " were not patronised, as far as j he was concerned, outside on the course, where the public are always on the look-out for some up. The small punters who put down the turn minimum of 5f on the off chance of j seeing Vasistaa past the post first got nearly £29 for their investment of 4s, while those who backed him one, two, three got £5 10s for their share. One single pool ticket was taken at the £20 " mutuels, and it was said that this was put on by the trainer, Mr T. Carter, of Ohantilly, who would not back the horse in the ring. Had not rumour coupled his name with this investment, it is just possible that he might have secured the whole pool. %* Huxtable, the jockey, has successfully appealed to the law to support his claim of £8 against 0. Klingenstein for riding the now defunct Isaac at the Forbury last February. Thß case ia thus reported in a Christchurch paper : "The plaintiff had ridden the horse in I two hurdle races on the first and second day's rßces there. He had not been placed the first day, but had run second on the second day, and someone else had ridden him the third day. The trainer of the horse, F. Bradley, had paid his railway fare to Dun.edin and back, and all expenses while there. The horse had run in the name of Mr * Huhn,' the norn de course used by Mr Klingenstein, and as the latter owned the horse, the plaintiff claimed the fees from him. The defence was that the horse had been leased by Bradley, and up to a certain time the horse had run in Bradley's. name, but owing .to a judgment being out against Bradley, the hocse was entered in Mr Huhn's name, to prevent his being Beized, Defendant had had no hand in the

horse's running in Dunedin till the third [day, when, having to lend Bradley money to accept with the horse, be insisted upon Stewart riding him. Bradley only agreed to pay Huxtable'a expenses to Dunedin to save paying losing mounts. T. Stewart corroborated Klingenstein's evidence respecting the engagement made by Bradley, and he would not have ridden the horse for Bradley unless KlingenBtein had guaranteed the fees. He insisted on this, bsoauße he did not think that Bradley had any money, but, on the contrary, was in difficulty. Mr Byrne put in the agreement between the two to show that the horse was leased by Bradley, and the defendant gave evidence that if he had been running the horse himself he would not have engaged Hux; table, but would have had Stewart to ride*.him. Mr Greason contended that Mr Kliagenstein waa practically a partner in the transaction, and produced a letter to the secretary of the D.J.C., in which he acknowledged the receipt of certain stakes and made suggestions respecting payments he had made on the horse's account. The Bench considered that Klingenstein was a party to the transaction throughout, and judgment was given for the plaintiff. Mr Byrne applied for leave to appeal, whioh the Bench declined to grant." , . ♦«,* The nominations for ihe 10 handicaps at the Otago Hunt Club meeting number 42 I more than last year, .as the following table I shows: — ! I

Mr Dowses handicaps appeared sharp to time on Wednesday at noon, and appear in this issue. I shall reserve my comments on the handicap until next week. * # * There is still not much life in th c betting market in connection with the New Zealand Cup. Whisper, Occident, Lorraine, Jet d'Eau, Renata, Catamount, Tirailleur, and Wakatipu have hardened, as will be seen by comparing the prices mentioned in the following table with those given last week: — HEW ZEALAND CUP.

%* Charles Wood was put into the witness box on the fifth day of the Chetwynd-Durbam inquiry. The Sportsman says that the jockey is little, but wiry. He has no superfluous flesh, and he looks as much the jockey; as if he wete made urj for the part in the British melodrama. Wood, in the bands of his counsel, adopted the line of successful respectability. His first few sentences, as freely interpreted, amounted to thiß:—" I may say at once I'm a man of 1 propertee.' I have achieved a great reputation, and I have made money, But I have lived very carefully, never spending more than from £600 to £800 a year. I have invested my ,money wisely, and I ana now, thank God, in a comfortable pecuniary- p(*aiti;6n." These facts having been properly laid' before the court, Sir Henry James sought" from Wood seriatim denials of the various charges made in particulars, and the jockey declared wi.th emphasisj turning round to the arbitrator^ that he always rode Fullerton to win, tha'^'he always did his bast' with the' horse, that 'fiV never pulled a horse for' Sit "George Chotwynd, and that be never squared a jockey in his life, or attempted to do po. The cross-examination by Sir Charles Russell commenced about halfpast 2, and the first question clearly indicated that the battle was not to be with gloves " Are you prepared to say with'regard to any horse you over rode that you rode it right out to win?" Wcod declared that he was, and then answered a number of questions as to whether he knew certain people whose names were submitted- An innocent little question was asked about each person until the name of Mr Peel was reached, and then Wood was asked point blank if this man had not given him money for advice to back a horse in a certain race in which Wood was riding on another horse. Wood seemed to think that waß a funny question to ask him, and said so. Sir Charles insisted on an answer, and it appeared that Wood had received money from| Peel under those conditions, but the jockey averted that the transactions was a perfectly innocent one. After this Wood was asked to go through his betting book of 1887 and state his various speculative transactions. Thiß caused much amusement. For instance, Wood thought Sir Charles Russell might not have heard of a horse called Tasso, which he backed, and kindly Bpelled it for the learned counsel " TASSO." Later on he encountered the name of Tissaphernee — which he had also backed—but he was in distress before be reached the half-way house. He had several false starta, and at length got as far as *• Tissa —" but here he stuck, and it is believed that he did not stay the course, though what ha Baid in the roar of laughter which followed will probably never be known. Theophrastus was another bullfinch, and Quid pro Quo brought his counsel to his assistance. After this Sir Charles Russell developed a curiosity as to the meaning of some racing slang, and besought Wood's assistance. The witness was not, however, intelligent, and did not help matters much. He could not explain the meaning of " a wrong 'un " He was in the dark as to what "out for an airing" indicated, and he really had not .the faintest conception of what was meant by a horse being "on the job," unless, added the witness with perfect seriousness, " it means that the horse is on the job." This is very like Mr A. G. Steal's story of Emmett in the Badminton Cricket series. The amateur was seeking for the derivation of

the term "a yorker," which is applied to a peculiarly fatal kind of ball. Emmetfc said ho knew, and on being asked for an explanation I gravely replied, " What else could you call it ?" At lasfc Wood Bought refuge from these technical questions by beseeching ■ Sir Charles Russell to iask oldAmeß, a gentleman whom" he had previously described as being dissolved in tears—" crying like a baby " was hiß exEresßion on a celebrated occasion. It must not, owever, be imagined that the cross-examina-tion was confined to light banter. Sir Charles every now and then sent down a " yorker." %* Mr A. Cowie, known on the turf mainly aa owner of The Brewer, is about to proceed to Melbourne with a small but select shipment of horses that should find ready sale in the metropolitan market, at which, we are told, quality will nearly always command a price. I had a look at the horsea a few days ago, and am satisfied that Mr Cowie's venture has a fair chance of success. As led out for in* spection the first in order was Mambrino , Royal, .a dark brown stallion four years old this foaling. He was bred by Mr Wilkins, and ia by imported Berlin out of imported Nellie, being thus shown to be a purebred Yankee trotter. Mambrino Royal ia an upstanding horse, evenly made throughout, and showing .in a high degree the characteristic of the race from which he springs, among these being that quiet temper for whioh the American trotters are famous. Bdng without a blemish, and exhibiting very free action in trotting, this horse should be sure to sell well, Another member of the party is a nuggety bay tbree-year-old stallion by Pinole Fatchen out of a Shales mare. This is a powerful colt, peculiarly short in front and with the quarters of a half draught; and if suitably mated be should beget a valuable class of stock. No. 3 ia a bay trotting gelding named Donald. He ia seven years of age, has a nice way of picking up his feet, and should find favour with some buyers from the fact that he is a maiden. The last of the quartette is the well-known roan pony * Donald Dinnie, who ia as clever as a cat, and not long since won the high jump at the Forbury Show, besides which he beat The Shifter in a celebrated match promoted at the time of Benzon'a visit to Waimate. Mr Cowie'a numerous friends here will wish him a profitable and pleasant trip. *** At latest advices from Home the Hon J. White's colta had made a beginning with their preparation, and were generally admired. The Derby, to capture which ia the objeot on whioh the Hon. J. White has set his heart, seems likely to be a poor betting race thia year, the great form shown by Surefoot having already caused fielders to offer no more than 4 to 1. Fancy that Iye who grumble about the odds obtainable in New Zealand. Four to one about a horse 10 months before a race, A London paper asks : — " What does Sir John WilloUghby think of making a yearling book on the Derby now ? He has laid £10,000 to £100 against Surefoofc. The fielders at the clubo will, however, only offer 4 to 1 against the colt at the present time. Backers, though, ara not quite such fools. If the ' ex-plunging ' baronet wanted to back Surefoot, it would cost him over £2000 to do it." *** A late Melbourne paper says that on the 12th mat. there was considerable animation in the ring and a good deal of speculation indulged in. Silverton was supported for the Melbourne Cup to win between £10,000 and £12,000, one of our leviathan pencUlers laying £5000 to £300 in one hand. Tradition was also backed to win a few thousands, and Carbine has also been nibbled at for the same event. For the Caulfield Cup, Moorbank waa supported to the extent of several hundreds at 25 to 1. There were inquiries for Dunkeld for the V.R.C. Derby, and the New Zealand colt was backed to win a few hundreds. * # * Mr Edward Sharp, who a short time ago threw some doubt upon the breeding of The Barb's dam, has written to Mr F. F. Dakin a long explanatory letter in which he declares that the name of The Barb's dam was Fair Ellen. He states that the mare was bred by Mr John Jardine, and he (Mr Sharp) bought her from him in about 1858 or 1859, when Bhe was five or six years old. In colour Bhe was a beautiful bright chestnut, with near hind foot white, small white star, and branded F J on the near shoulder. Mr Sharp declares that Bhe was the best animal he ever crossed, and he never sat anything that could touch her at jumping, or swimming rivers. He was taking her to put her to Archer's sire, William Tell> whose Touchstone blood he waa anxioua to i mate with the mare,, but on the- road he sold ! her to Mr Lee, and by some means she was; erroneously called Young Gulnare. which, in. fact, was the name of her dam. -The breeding of Fair Ellen, however, was exactly the samei as given in the Stud Book, she being by Tha Doctor from Young Gulnare, by Grohanna from, | Deception, by Theorem from Cutty Sark. , When Mr Lee bought her he intended, bo Mr Sharp saya, to put her to William Tell, but the owner of the latter foolishly allowed the horse to run amongst the mares, and be got killed. The mare was then put to Sir Hercules, and to him she produced The Barb, Barbarian, and Barbelle, but I would remind Mr Sharp that in the Stud Book, Vol. I, the mare ia credited with two toala by Little John previous to visiting Sir Hercules. %* The average price realised for her Majesty's yearlings did not reach bo high a figure aa last year. The highest price (3000gs) waß paid for a colt by Hampton out of Land's End, by Robert Sherwood, on behalf of Colonel North, and the aum of lOOOgs was given by Mr Maclennan for a Springfield filly from Pampeluna. At the same figure Captain Russell England teok the only young St. Simon at the sale, and the colt goes to Buenoa Ayres. The total obtained for the 28 yearlings was 11,745g5, ehowing an average of a little over 419Jgs ; while last year, when 26 were disposed of, the sum realised was 12,335g5, giving an average of 474|gs. The capital average of 1118gs waa obtained for the Blankney yearlings. The highest price (1950g5) was paid by Mr J. Porter for a filly by Hermit or Galopin from Bonnie Doon, and a sister to Heresy, and a filly by Hermit out of Princess Mary II went for 1500ga and 1550#s respectively. A number of Mentmore-bred yearlings were also disposed of, and 2050ga was the price paid for a colt by Bend Or out of Bonnie Jean. Aa to the i Yardley atud yearlings, of the 14 lota sold, Mr Morton's bid of 2250gs secured a colt by Sterling out of Merry Tune, and the next longest figure (1150g8) was paid for a colt by the same sire from Vessel. Other sales reported from Newmarket are aa follow : — A yearling filly by Isonomy out of Hermits waa purchased for SOOOgs by Captain Machell, a colt by Galliard out of Tabor waß taken for 2500ga by Mr W. Low, and a colt by Galliard from Lottie fell to Mr Rose's bid of 1150gs. Several purchases were made on behalf of Colonel North, and in his interest the highest figure of the morning (2500g5) was paid for a yearling colt by laonomy out of Moorhen, and consequently ' own brother to Gallmule. Mr E. Baird gave 2100gs for the three-year-old Paloma, andlOOge less for 'Las Palmas, a yearling colt by Xenophon cut of Palmiet. Mr Baird gave 2600gs for the yearling Littlehampton, a colt by Hampton oat of Allegra, and Mr Maclennan, who purchased a number of lota, gave 1550gs for a colt by Hampton out of

Shadow, and lOtfOgs for a filly by Galopin out jo Credition. \* I have received from. Auckland a copy of A. E. Glover's " Sporting Guide," a publication of 48 pages, 23 of which are occupied with matter taken from these columns without the ghost of acknowledgement. This free and easy way of doing things is apparently deemed to be sufficiently excused by the rather unnecessary statement in the preface that the author makes no attempt at originality. If Mr Glover were a journalist I should talk to him. . * # * Another celebrated English sire has made bis exit, namely Camballo, the property of Mr R. C. Vyner. For some time past, the horse had suffered from acute inflammation in his feet as well aa showing other symptoms of decay, and latterly he wasted to such an ex tent in condition that those who knew him in his prime were scarcely able to recognise him ; consequently bis owner deoided on the grounds of humanity to have him destroyed. Camballo, foaled in 1872, was bred by .Mr Thomas Gee, and at that gentleman's Bale of yearlings the following year he was purchased by the late Mr H. F. C. Vyner for 1200gs. He was then placed under the care of Matthew Dawson, and proved himself a first-ciaßß racehorse. Some half-dozen years since he was admittedly one of the handsomest horses at the stud. Amongst the moat notable of his progony may be mentioned The Lambkin (a St. Leger winner}, Minthe (winner of the One Thousand Guineas), Eurasian and Peppermint. Camballo was by Oambuscan (sire of the Middle Park Company's mare Idalia) out of Little Lady, by Orlando. *** Writing on the sth July, the London correspondent of the Argus says :—": — " The arbitrators in the Ohetwynd-Durham case did not take long to consider their decision. The case terminated on Thursday, June 27, and on Saturday, the 29fch, the award was published in the evening papers. It will be remembered that Sir George Chetwynd claimed £20,000 damages on two counts, the first being that malicious remarks were made by the Earl of Durham in his famous Gimcrack Club speech, and the second that he wrote and published the following words : — ' I accuse Sir George Ohetwynd of having connived at serious malpractices which are contrary to the rules of racing.' The decision practically comes to this : Lord Durham had charged Sir George Chetwynd with definite malpractices, such as pulling horses and squaring) ockeys. The arbitrators thought that there was not sufficient evidenco to prove this, but they considered it fully made out that Sir George Chetwynd must have been cognisant, of some very queer transactions, and profited by them, and moreover that the sale of Wood's horses to him manifestly showed that the sale was designed to deceive the Jockey Club. He also assisted Wood in betting transactions, contrary to the rules of racing, In brief, the arbitrators thought that Sir George Chetwynd was in tbe.awim, but was not the directing mind or the chief manipulator. The result of this finding is, of course, disastrous to Sir George Chetwynd, and his friends are taking the, matter up. Sir George Chetwynd has again sent in his resignation to the Jockey Club, which has now been accepted. The press generally considers the award a fair one, and likely to result in an improvement in turf matters. The Standard says that the case should prove a salutary warning to owners, and should help to put down the unmitigated evil of tb.B association of jockeys, trainers, and owners for purposes of turf finance, and ought also to stop much foolish betting. As the Times remarks, it is to be hoped at all events that thiß, glimpse which has been permitted behind the scenes of a racing stable will cause some foolish people to hesitate before they stake money on horses about which they know little."
