Bannatyue's stable, has had the name of Lonely claimed for hint. A rising two-year-old half-brother to Admiral Souit, by Gluten, has joined D. Moraghan's stable, and Is now receiving.His early education. The cross-country horse Seldom and the yearling colt by teoult—Lady Hester were shipped to Sydney en Monday by the s.'s.

The steeplechase horse bach. Fyne, which went amiss In Australia last earing, is back again In Auckland, and baa made his appearance at Bllerslle under the charge of V. G. Malcolm.

Sir Walter, the fall brother to Turbine, •till continues to be a disappointment, and

was beaten in the Maiden Handicap At Te Aroha yesterday, ronning second. Sir Walter Is greatly over-rated by the haadicappers.

The Auckland-bred mare Miss Alison, which is by Soolt from Mb* Metaon, keeps on winning In Western Australia, her attest success being in the February Handicap. run a week ago under the auspices of the West Australian Turf Club.

Both Undecided a_«l Midnight Son were stated to have been very unlucky in, the Wanganui Stakes, and with e decant run both should have beaten Dearest, the winner.

Mr E. J. Watt, the Napier sportsman, left Wellington for Sydney last Friday, taking with him Ireland and the Charlemagne 11. Elysium colt purchased In Christchurch last November. Both horses will be trained at Rand wick by 11. Raycer.

A rather peculiar accident happened to Xevier in the Westmere Hurdles at Wanganui, gays a Wellington writer. At the jump opposite the stewards' stand he struck hard and all but came down. It was then wen that McFlynn was trying to pull the Tasman gilding up, iand after he had done this and returned to the enclosure. It transpired that the rider's stirrup Iron had caught on the hurdle and remained there.

The winner of the Newmarket Handicap (Desire) was bred in Tasmania, and is stated to be the oent colt bred in the island »t*te for years.' Last month he won the Hobart Cup of one mile and a half, for whieh he Incurred a penalty of 71b for «be Nswuiarket Handicap. That Desire's victory Wma no fluke -ras evidenced by the ueifoißiance of the colt, on the second day Of tae meeting, when he won the Bourke Handicap In the fast time of 1.27| for the seven furlongs. , The stewards of the Mastertoo Racing Club have decided that the secretary be instructed to tssne complimentary tickets to outside patrons of the club more freely than hse been the case in the past. This step should go a long way to ensure the success of the antumn meeting, as there doss not fpem much doubt that the club Which Is 'ibcral with complimentary tickets receives the most patronage, and from the class of men who tend to make a meettag a success. 'His allowing daring his two-year-old career, although he did not succeed in earning a winning bracket, caused many to pick out Mr Donald McKinaoa's colt Hemisphere as one likely to wia a decent race as hj luree-ycar-old. Hemisphere has not had a Kreat niajiy opportunities to prove himself yet, bis Ms few showings were of a disappointing nature, but at South Auckland he showed a glimpse of bis two-year-old form fn the hack race on the second day, and has followed this np by registering his first, win. accounting for the Hack Handicap at Te Aroha yesterday. The victory is certainly not one to enthuse over, but Hemisphere looks like being on the up grade, and may yet make amends for pist failures. The Wellington writer, "The Judge." is responsible for the foilowiuK: —Despite th» fact that hardly a meeting goes by without pointed evidence being given of inadequate totalisator facilities, clubs still go on In the old way. thereby losing a very considerable amount of revenue. This was the case at Wanganui on Thursday, when a lot of money was shut out, several hundreds being excluded on the second event. The Wianganni exec mi vc have considered it a good Idea to do away with the races leading up to each window. Their patrons think quite otherwise, for the scene outside each window resembles a packed scrum at a f*ot hall match. Perhaps this is the spot that Mason had in his mlud when rn his famous Sydney interview he said that he had seen women's clothes torn in the rush to get money on. Such a happening would be quite possible at Wanganui.

Tbe Tictory of EnneagaTde in the Jackson Stakes settles the qnesttoo of the t»o----year-old supremacy, awl there can flow he very little doubt that the daughter of Qmtlemagne n. is entitled to,the honour. Srmengarde, which was ridden by the Auckland horseman 0. Brown, pot op a time record for the pace the previous neat (Ll3 2-S) standing to the credit of Provocation, which won in 1908. There seem* some «n>gtrt diversity of opinion as to the distance Brmengaxde won by, one paper (Wins it aa a head and the other half a length; bat tbate is no question that site -was aQ oat to win. Royal 'Scotch, which ran second, pat up a good performance, for he waa ranrnftng no less than 231b to the 'Winner, and it looks as if he was unlucky to be beaten on Aa opening day. Auttmmas ran t» to hts bwt form, and if he goes on all right should make a high-class three-year-old.

When it was decided to reduce tie cumber of racing days In the Domanfc» It au popularly thought t*»t It would a*ao redare speculation, bat, judging from —agral meetings reeentlv, the desired effeotlaaß wot been obtained. At most of 4»e gatherings hew of late fhe totallsator tnrooyer tag increased considerably, and at the reeeart Wanganui Meeting there was an Increase of orer £15,000. or about fifty per cent on last year. This is fairly strong proof that. Instead of fie reduction having stopped speculation, it has only had the effect of making those who wan* to enjoy racing, travel further to set their sport, and, whereas a man ■was formerly content with tie racing In his own province, he now travels to moj gathering within anything Uke reasonable distance. Homeowners, too, hare been Jntt

to further expense, and. Instead of gri ling racing handv, they have to anip Aeir tatei further afield. This to ««fle pretty pWn. If one studies the entries for the Mihu country meetings, for the class of hone nominated is a lons way ahead of the animal usually found at country fixtures, -wfcere the gathering w«ed to be more of a local character.

TURF TALK FROM THE SOUTH. (By Telegraph.- -Special to "Star.") CHRISTCBTTRCH, Tuesday. The Akaroa County Racing Club's meeting proved an Interesting onting for local sportsmen. The principal event, the Peninsula Clip, attracted competition of a good class, and furnished a fine straggle between Sir George ClttTonTs maw disappointing mare Countermine and Mr. L. Acland's Corontform, which also bus disappointed bis friends mere than once this season. The son of Multiform had-been ilolna good work on the tracts, an* on Saturday he ran nine furlongs in tune-which was given as 1.5*. easily a record for Riccarton, but he failed to reproduce snch sensational form Coatrtcrarlne. which Is a halfsister to Stronghold, Fleetfoot. and Broadsword ran a surprisingly good race. Coroniforro appeared to have her measure halfway down the straight, but she Ptt>>-1; to her task much more gamely than she has done in some of her races., and battled out a hard ilnhtfi In capital style.
