GLOAMING FOR SYDNEY. {BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday. * Gloaming liar, been performing useful exercise, and ia in healthy condition. According to present arrangements Gloaming will bo . shipped to Sydney by tho Ulirnaroa, which vessel leaves Wellington on Friday next. P. E. Jones left for Sydney on Thursday in order to ride Many Kittle in. a raco at Rosehill next Saturday. Advices received here stato that Many Kittle and Pilliewinkio are both training on well. J. McCombo will probably race his lour horses at Trentham. Ho is not certain whether he will then go to Sydney with his team or wait till a little later. J. B. Pearson paid a visit to Tarauaki recently and purchased Te Kawa and Lisogne. Iho horses named arrived here this week R. LI lis has broken in a likely-looking ihree-year-old filly by Sunny Lake from Silk ■Lace, by Solferino from Silk Gown. Tho steeplechaser Charlatan was schooled over a few fences this week, and jumped •woh. He appears to havo renamed his confidence, which was temporarily lost through his fall at the South Canterbury meeting early last month. • Deucalion is being hacked about the roads preparatory to going into commission again. , Cigerland jumped three fences on Thursday, giving a good exhibition. Ho should win a race this winter if he keeps sound. Voute, the. big gelding by The Welkin, in A. Wormald's Stable, is to bo given a chance as a hurdler. He shaped well in the jumping ring this week, R. Emerson has taken Winkie'a Best in hand again and will get him ready for spring racing, A. Trilford has gone to Mr. G. L. Rutherford's station in North Canterbury, where ho will give the imported horse Last Dart eome work for a few weeks, Last Dart has been spelling for a few months, but he is to be put into commission again with a view to next. Mason's racing. . Royal Star went into S. Trilford's stable in South Canterbury after the Amberley meeting last month in order to be schooled for another trial as a hurdler; but as he (showed little aptitude fijr jumping he was pent back to iiia owner. The Martian jrcld'"mi I s ' on ■! rtl|,rs old. so it is unlikely he will be persevere;! with much longer. Apache Frenchman, Boughleen Dhoun, iiml TriHh l-"ur. of Mr. .W. T. Hazletfa bouthlaud team, have* arrived at Kiocarton. Apache and Frenchman will go on to Trentham next month to rate „t the Wellington meeting. They will thpn rejoin their two mates and the four horses will remain at liiccarton until after the Grand National intetmj?. When Golden Prince broke down on the second day of the Dunedui meeting early thus month it was thought his case Wis serious. The old gelding appears to have made a great recovery, however, us his name figures among the nominations for the .Winter Steeplechase at Ashburton this week' The Banks Peninsula Raring Club held its «xtra meeting to-day, the venue being changed to Kiccarton owing to the Motukarara course being flooded. It was a lucky circumstance for the club, ;iii there was a large attendance and the meeting should {show a good profit. Jubilant won the Bratkenfield Handicap to-day like a t-'i'od inare, going to the front early and making an exhibition of her opponents. With a. strong horseman she will do a lot more winning. Sunny Loch ran below expectations in ■f.he Brackeufield Handicap. A shorter journey than a mile and iv-quarler will suit him but I have an idea we have seen the beat of tho big gelding. ? 'i; The Hack Steeplechase of two miles at the Banks Peninsula meeting to-day was run over two circuits.of the liiccarton schoolin" „ fences. Caahman gave a good exhibition of jumping and won easily in a stylo which suggested further honours later on. Chickwheut. the winner of the Halswell Hack Handicap to-day, has not been long .iii work, and he. is likely to improve still iaxUxer cm thia effort.

Moorland made an exhibition of three opponents in a mile race to-day, being in front practically from end to end, ana winning (IB he liked. He was a class above the opposition, but there seems 110 reason way he should not stay in better company. TRAINING AT TRENT HAM. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN COH RESPONDENT, j WELLINGTON, Saturday.

Young hna a nice-looking colt by smith from Dialect in his stable. l youngster was sent along over half a nine on Thursday, and (tot to the end of his task in Msec. This colt gives the impression mat lie will be heard of next season. .

Tinohari beat all the other times by running out half a mile in Msec. Waetea is in work at Trentham again She did fairly well last season, when weU piaced. and there ia no reason why she should not pay her way in the near future, as she seems to havo been benefited by her spell. An addition to W. Young s stable at Trentham is Bonlita, one of thc K l J, orse ? f d lf" nosed of by Mr. W. K.

Misgovern, wno jM trained by Cress, has gone into H. Telford s Progress is being made with the top-dresa-ing of the sand track at Trentham. It is a track which is badly needed at the course and when it is in condition for use it will be in considerable demand as the wet condition of the other tracks senously interrupts the preparations of the horses m the W As 6 then} 3 'is%o be a two-days' fleet meetin" at Trentham in August there will be at least eloven days' racing here next season. It was at first intended that there should be only one day for the fleet meeting, but it was doubted if all the men could be entertained on the one day, and m any case it was felt that it was unhkely that all would be able to get away from the ships on the same day, hence the grantih„ of two days. The Wellington Racing Club is not endeavouring to make money out of the meeting, but merely is doing its part Joward entertaining the .visitors. In fact it is said that any surplus Will be put into the enterAccommodation has been booked at Trentham for the Wellington Winter Meeting for three of the Hazlett team.
