A copy of the official list of horses registered with thp New Zealand Trottius Association to July 31, 10(K",. is to hand. As usual, the list ij a t-oniplete one, and should be iv the possession of all clubs and. owners. The Cambria Park sire Eton is getting a very fine lot of mares this season, and the following have already been mated ■with him:—lrma, by Xeckersgat—Perhaps; Bequest, by Dreadnought—Legacy; Golf, by St. Andrew—Sabra; Guinevere, by Sir Lancelot —Orieutale: Kitiroa. by Cyj-enian —Hlnemoa: Lute, by i-ir Laner-lot--Lyre-bird; Lady Agnes, by .Neckerskat—Peradveature; Neringla. by Goldsborough— Mabel; Peace, by The Officer—Content; Secga, by Hotc-hklss —Agnes; Tournament. by Sir Lancelot—Maturi; and Sunshin". by Pavona—The Cloud. Kton's li.st is nearly fnll, and only a limltPd number cf outside subscriptious can be takeu. The sensation of the wet-k has b*en the support accorded to Maniapoto for the Caatfield and Melbourne Cups and his •withdrawal from the New Zealand Cup. After h.'s form in the Metropolitan Handicap various conjectures were afloat as to which of his engagements he would fulfil, but the matter now been finally settled. In deciding to let the sou of fcioult remain in the Caulfleld and Melbourne Cups in preference to bringing him back for the big New Zealand ovent. the owners were no donbt int!upn<?<»fl to a great extent by |he displays jrvipn by Xoetniferm and Suusrod, and probably they had a little advice from R. Mhsoii. who has been superintending Maniapoto's trainiug since he arrived in Sydney. in withdrawing their horse from tho New Cup at the earliest possible chance the owners havp shown a consideration for the public for which they are io be commended. The annual meeting of tho members of the Otahuhu Trotting Club wns hold at Otahuhu last Thursday evening- Mr K. L. Absolum presided, and there was a good attenfiance of member?. Thp <iutsoing committee stated that thp last season had not been quite so successful as was anticipated; this was to n largo extent due to connter-attractious on the dates of the summer meeting. In addition several other extraordinary disbursements had to be made that wore not likely to occur during the season. The balance-sheet jshowpd the profits for the past year to be £19 6/5. iv addition u> which the club has COO on lixod deposit and a current account of £"2T S/Ti Thr , election of committee resulted In the election of Messrs R.

TURF TALK FROF/i THE SOUTH. (By Telegraph.—Special to '"Star.") CHRISTCnrBCU, FridayI hear that the Eiderslie yearlings are a ■eaily good lot. Stud News.—Stppka. by St. Leper- Ptrpfeldt. has foaled a colt to Gipsy Grand. Fairy Maid a colt, Britoinartc- n volt I'.i*lle Claif a filly, and Ranee Nuns a filly, c'A to Stepniak.

Whirling, by Stopoiak—Tempest, has foaled a colt to Royal Artillery. CHRISTCIIUECII, this day. We are stil contemplating the remarkable achievements oi the New Zealand horses st Kandwiek. gome of us are inclined to think that New Zealand possesses a collection of champions just at ■the present moment. We forget that the AustraHnns are very hadiy off for good horses just now. No douli Ntof:tuiform and Sungcd are good, and it is <iuite possible that the former is something out of the "onanoii. Doubtless Isolt is much above the average, and wp all know that in his day Maniapo'o is an er.tre-nely brilliant animal, but to proclaim them all wonders Is to say that New Zealand is richer in first-ciaes horses than she really is. The Kandwiek hacks are unusually fast, and the hordes, with the exception of Emir, the expatriated Gladsome, and jjoesibly Charles Stuart, are a moderate lot. The undoubted quality of the New Zealanders did the rert. By thp way. you may not have noticed that ill winning the Grantham Stakes Isolt equalled the Australian record for a mile and three furlongs. Xoctniform maintains his position as favourite lor the New Zealand Cup, but Bnluwayo has come into favour since his victory at Ast>*iurton on Thursday and presses Mr Stead's cot closely. Stud News.- Parera, by C'uirasFilc —Alhatross, a to Finland; Gossip, by "Wallace—Caroline, colt to i'ilgrim's Progress: Melastlna, by Tasman--N;7utilus. a fllly ro Pilgrim's Progress; Barley P.i-ec. by The Cardinal—Barley, a colt to Royal Artillery; Otterden, by Sheen —Spring Morn a fiUy to Royal Artillery, and visits Multiform: Hnguenot. by Apremont—Martyr, a colt to Koyal Artlller.iy. and visits him again. The Aanbnrton County Racing Club was extremely fortunate iv regard to the wnather for its spring meeting. Heavy clouds, which had overhung practically the whole of Canterbury for the preceding fortnight, began to break at midday on Thursday, and the first day's racing was held In intermittent sunshine. On Friday tbe weather was finer, the sun shininT brightly at intervals throughout tb» afu-rnoon. The attendance on both day was large. The club tried the experiuu-lr <>f rtiuiiinir a special from Curisti'hureh niut the departure was a pronounced success. i.'ousidcrlnß the amount of raia that has fallen duriiig the past month the- course w.is !u good order, ami the rsicius though not wildly exciting, was certainly interesting. Chk-r interest centred in the principal evetir on each day, owin? to the large uuuibii- of New Zealand Cup candidates takinu' part In them. Of rhe eight iumpetitors rathe Ashburton County Cup. no less than live chum h liability lor tho Ricmrton evpnt. Of thi'SM Calibre, who started favourite, ran badly. Beau Seaton. no butter than was expeeti-d from a uou-stayer. General Synions a good ruc-p for more Uinn a mile Claiiburn a better one. and t'.Uluwayii a really good o"*'- Bnluwayo. whose first appearance in public it was for more than a year, was not backed on the course, and except Secret Society was the outsider of the party. He looked robust, but he liad evidently done plenty of -work, as he lasted to thp end of a fast run race and won easily. His performanc? has brout'hc _hini Into prominence for the New Zealand Cnp a? well. If he gets throngh the remainder of his preparation eat-isfactorily lie ought to be diffii-ult to. brat oy November. :. Bnlnwayo. you may recollect wns one of ' nay selection for thp New Zealand Cnp. a lid I also recommended him for the Ash-

burton race. Another of my' A&libanoa .selections, Narcissus, had an easy win in the Hack s.ed Hunters'- Hurdle Bace, and yet aOuther. Black Diamond, won the Ladies' Purse after having been beaten in the Bremar Welter Handicap by the Stepniali selding Somaroff. The Eieeartontraincd three-year-olds Makaroff and Tsitr .sibar succumbed to Boscastle in the. Fairfield Plate, but the first-named. wbo;'b a big colt by Stepniair from Arllue. may be trusted to spp a better, day. Th-e' winner i≤ another excellent advertisemeat". to the Medallion —Marion sire Grana Cross, whose sun Grand Stand subsequently finished second to that smart filly lngleueuk in the Spring Handicap. After the news that ilaniapoto had been lmc-ked for the Melbourne and Caulfield Ct!pß hid withdrawal from the X-pw Z°a- ' land Cup yesierday did not come as a snr- ! prise. ; Calibre run much better on the second '. day at AshburtoD than on the first. His ! slable companion Goldeu also shewled tliat he i-= uot past redemption.
