The Auckland marc Bonnie Joan was sent out favourite for the Hack Steeplechase at Marton on Wednesday, but was never dangerous, and finished out of a place The Ohllpa/lo marc Plrlwnl. which won the Railway Handicap nt Martnn on Wednesday, paid a substantial two-figure dividend. ' The New Zealand lisrhtweisht C. Emmerson appears to be riding In good form In New South Wales, and Sydney papers accord him pronounced praise for his riding.

The Auckland homes engaged at tbo Marton meeting did not succeed in earninc or the prize money, the only "ne to pet a place beinc Rebel, which ran third in the Hack Steeplechase.

The recent spell of had weather has greatly hampered the work of improvement In progress a.* Ellerslie. and a lot oC fine weather will be needed In order to have evcrythlnc In readiness for the A..R.C. Spring Meeting.

At the annu.il meeting of the OpotiVl Joi-key Club Messrs. C. Morse and G. Skinner were proposed as bandlcappers. and on a bailot beins taken the latter vnas elected.

Mr. Morse's adjustment* for tb» Awmdale Cup, Flying Handicap, Maiden Plate. First Handicap Hurtles. Islington Handicap, Henderson Handicap, and Handicap stoeplechase are due on September 13.

The Auckland horseman .7. Cno<jii<*t rod* his second winner of th<- season on Wednesday, when he rode Npititnuru to victory to the Marton Handicap. The Aneklander did not wait long In the Sourh. and was back at ElleTsUe at riding work the following morning.

D. .T. Price's geldlmr Bribery was beaten by half a lericrh by W.T.S. In The Wllllatnstown Steeplechase on Anpi.°t 24. The .TOsors which he received for second mopey put him at the bead of the list of steeplechase winners, his total now being a few pounds more than the amount won by the famous chaser Redleap. •

The Hl«rarch gelding niorarchy. which cost M<"«iames Foes and Steuart 3«)jrns as a yearling -three years ago. made his first appearance under silk at the Marton meeting. He was the outsider of the field that <-ontestod the Electric Hack Handicap, and the odds probably represented his chance.

In its comment, on tbe Marten meeting the "New Zealand Times" sayß:—"Mr. Hertgill was Judge and Mr. O'Connor starter, but neither was an successful as usual. The former is credrt.ed. with twice hoisting scratched horses as filling third position, and In the Electric Handicap the numbers were altered three times.

On Angnst L' 7. The clay before Brookong won the Dunallster Handicap at Moouee Valley, Tils owner-trainer. E. A. Connolly. offered to take £150 for the horse, and it the time remarked: "He h> sure to win at Moonee Valley to-morrow." Xo deal, however, resulted, but after the rare G. Mlnter. another Ftemington trarner, g&rc £125 for him.

The ending of the C..T.C. stewards in The Rover case has been the principal item of the week in sporting circles. It Is genera conceded that the Southern officials have given the case a. lot of consideration, and their decision has met with universal approval. From the finding, as wired through, it would appear that The Rover was eligible to be nominated for the C'.J.C. National Hurdles, and this win settle the question of .the doable betting in favour of the layers. Probably the case will go to appeal.

According to the "Dominion," 0. Price, after consultation with his solicitor, instructed the latter to telegraph to the C..3.C. asking for a copy of the minutes, and the evidence taken at the meeting at which tie was disqualified, as be wishes to prepare his appeal from It. Price will not admit that be has no ground (or appeal. He contends that, despite the alteration to Rnle 7. Part XXXI.. of the "■Roles of Racing" (making it impossible to appeal on a "question of (act , ), he tag still the right to appeal on the succeeding rule, which states, inter alia: —-'Any person aggrieved at any decision may appeal." etc The contention is that this rule, coming after Bole 7, is still operative, and will remain so until it Is repealed. This seems to be logical, and, incidentally. It would appear as if there is an urgent need for an early and complete revision of the "Bules of Racing." It Is understood that, at the bearing of his appeal. Price -will ask to have the assistance of a well-known Tnranati sportsman in conducting his case. He points out. that there Is precedent for srwh a procedure, as, at the Julian appeal, Mr. W. P. Archibald -wae allowed to appear. Price expresses confidence that this request will be granted. He holds the view that the Canterbury stewards will not wish him to Jk handicapped in by inexperience..
