Watt will be represented at the A.X.C. Autumn Meeting j by Arc Ligut, King Billy, Aborigine, and '. Lamcdorff. r A coincidence In connection with the '- Napier Park Cup is the fact that Arc Light, P the winner, was recently purchased by Mr. s E. J. Watt, while Loiret. the runner-up, 0 Is one of his cast-offs. I The pony Herculean has been disposed or • to a Wellington sportsman, aud was shipped s South by the Takapuua last Friday. It is r understood that Herculean is to compete 'at lhe Wellington Pony and Galloway s meetings. 'i The leniently treated Delegate, as was generally expected, easily accounted for the uhiuemur! Cup. iv which he started a c very warm favourite. Delegate was ouly „ seen out once at the gathering. 1 The rising two-year-old. by Kilcberan — Golo Spun, purchased at the Waikanae t yearling sales on lieha.f of Messrs Ryan and 1 Oe Groen. uas been transferied trom C. t Weal's charge to that of D.

Waiotahi claims au eng.igc- • ment in the Gr»jt Northern Oaks, run at _ the A.lt.c. Au-.umu Meeting next month. Although the totalisator receipts at the Ohinemuri meeting show a shrinkage as j , compared with 'as: year, the fees from bookmakers will more than make up the ' deficiency, aud the cub should come out i with a profit. : ■ - ! It is understood that the three riders j disqualified by tbe Auckland Trotting CIUD - iv connection with the ruunlng of certain : norses in the Grandstand Handicap at the | club's Summer Meetiug. intend appealing - to the A.B.C. against the sentence. The rime (2.7 i recorded by Arc Light in . the Napier Park Cap is. I think, a record , j for New Zealand. The fastest time re- | corded for the distance in Australia was 2.6. which w.is hoisted hy Uova at Flemlugtou In ISO 3. The Napier Park course was evidently very fast, as the various times recorded through the day show. Tbe South Auckland Racing Club notify bookmakers that the fee for license to bet •at their forthcoming meeting is £10 per day (including cierki. In the event of less than six applying, the fee will be £20 per day. Application must be made to the secretary. Mr W. I. Conradi. on or before 4 p.m. on Monday. 23rd lust. When the New Zealand jockey H. Phillips was badly injured as a result of a fall from Cambooya at Canterbury Park iv July last, his recovery was very doubtful. He is sth! at the Rookwood Asylum, but has so fur recovered that he is now able i to walk about, and is hopeful of being iv the sadd.o again before many months He I , ' x f l ee " t0 leave the asylum shortly." and . will then go to E. Donovan's, at Rand wick. , : Private information received from Aus- . I tralla states that Evans' handliug of A.nolI ogue m the Australian Cup was the sob- : ject of much adverse comment, aud It oc- . casioned no surprise when a chance or I ; riders iv the Champion Stakes was decided ,!ou. Apologue is said to be Improving but t.ir ..as been debniteiy decided uot to race t-nlm again lv Australia. | It is now common talk that sensational developments can be expected shortly concerning a race at the recent A.R.C. Sum- ' mer Meeting. It was rumoured at the time ! that the victory of a certain horse in one . event was unexpected and unpalatable to m s j connections, and that the rider was roundly I abused after returning to scale, for winning. , Since then, it Is understood that the rider in i question has placed the A.R.C. authorities , ln possession of his version of the case, and a. lull investigation will be _«id.

B. Deeley. the Auckland horseman, nut np a great record at the recent Ohinemuri meeting, riding six firsts, two seconds and two thirds out of ten mounts. j Nominations for all events at the Auckland Trotting Club's Autumn Meeting close with the secretary (Mr. C. F. Mark) on ! Friday next, the inst., at 9 p.m. j Mr. T. H. Lowry's filly Chanteuse scored her first winning bracket yesterday. ac- | counting for the Trial Hack Stakes "at the (.Napier F-ark meeting. Chanteuse claims an (engagement in the Northern Champagne _ I Stakes, run at the A.R.C. Autumn Meeting. a | From the telegraphed report of the a steeplechase on the second day of the . Ohinemuri meeting, the event was a regular fiasco, ln the first place only two horses went to the post, and evidently some mis- | understanding took place between the riders i and the officials, as a round too many was a run. Loch Fyne winning. The stewards ii ordered the race to be re-run, and declared all bets off: but Khama did not make an i appearance for the second attempt, and - Loch Fyne walked over. T | The recent Ohinemuri meeting saw the 1 passing aw-ay of old Straybird. as game and r 1 honest a horse as ever looked through a bridle. Some time ago D. Moraghan made a present of the old horse to a Karangahake resident, and it was understood that - the veteran had bidden farewell to the | turf; but evidently his new owner thought a | there was another race concealed in the a | aged sou of Wanderer, and he was started a in _ie steeplechase ou the opening day of '. I the Ohinemuri gathering, but on returning to the paddock after the race, threw up r his head, aud dropped, never to rise again. It is a coincidence that two veteran steeplechasers, like Nor'-west and Straybird, j should die in an almost similar manner within six months of each other.
