Major George has a couple of goodlooking yearlings, which are about to be taken in hand. These aro a filly by Nordenfeldt—Sisber Agnes, and a filly by Nelson—Memphis. Mr D. O'Brien has named his yearling colt by Tasman—Moonray, I'hilson. It is unnecessary to say bhat the colb is called after Mr James Philson, who for many years has wielded the hammer ab the Auckland yearling sales. The Dunedin sportsmen, Messrs Stephenson and Hazlebt, have purchased in Sydney a colb by Tho Australian Peer from Tornado, the dam of Tempesb (the last Dunedin Cup winner). The youngster was picked up by Mr J. Monaghan aba recent sale of yearlings at 45 guineas. The disappoinbing Merrie England is in the sale list as a stallion. Ab the close of this horse's two-year-old career an offer of 1,500gs was made by an Australian owner for his possession. Merrie England must have cost his owner a hatful of money. . The New Zealand-bred lilly Day Dream was handicapped 6sb lllb for the Hylton Handicap, which she won, at bhe Liverpool Meeting on March 23rd.

Sbewardsof suburban and counbry clubs are to be mvesbed with powers which they do nob possess ab present, enabling them toaeal retrospectively wibh horses whose running suggests anybhing irregular having taken place. For instance, if a horse rum* badly at Epsom, and develops unusual improvement in form shortly afberwards by winning at Caulfield, the stewards at the lasb named place will be empowered bo call the attention of tlie Epsom authorities to the inconsisbenb performances wibh a view to inquire as to tho cause bhereof. In default of the Epsom executive baking action, it will rest with the V.R.C. to deal with the case. Jockeys are to bo stricbly prohibibed from betting, another ukase which will be warmly commended in face recent developments in this bearing. Enbries and nominations of the ns order are to be abolished ; owners will be required to en ber in either bheir own or assumed namos, and in bhe case ot moro bhan one person being interested in bho ownership ot a horse full parbiculars will have to be given." The same aubhoriby gives the following table as showing the new mode of penalising winners shortly to receive the attention of tho V.R.C. :—
