Tree: Lucerne was ca=,t in his box on the eve of the Wanganui meeting, and though he was started in the Flying Handicap on tlie opening- day, was very sore afterwards-and-was allowed to drop out of. his .engagements, on. the. second day.

The victory of Soldier in the Arawa Park Handicap at Rotorua was one of the meeting. The race was popularly supposed to lie between 'Achilles and the bracketed pair Self and Tenacious, and they carried the bulk of the investments, the former being six ■pounds better favourite.

Gang Awa', a, three-year-old gelding 'by iProyoeatipnf-Oolcl" Cord, for which 500gs was:Teeently paid, made a hig bid to win iPetre Hack Handicap at Wanganui'on-Thursday, but ran a bit] green,".Vdnff went., under to. Mahzoltov. Gang ■' < sort,'.and. looks libejbeingvdecidedly ..'," . " '

! Following on his successes at the South- Auckland meeting, H. Robinson had another good time at the Rotorua fixture, riding four winners—Mill o' Gowrie, Tinopai, Tinoreka and Glittering Sands. J.

"ijtady Penury's ailment is not considered, seriousj and the mare was walking sound again yesterday , , but it was not deemed advisable to start her on the Eecond-day. Had she been all-right, Mr. ■MricKenzie was to run her, fojr he was very dissatisfied with the treatment accorded the daughter of Penury by Mr. Morse.

It sJiould not he long before Lconta earns another" winning bracket.

ilThe. Finland colt Bjorneborg wa6 sent ■ojit an fT o<Mti-on favourite for the Juvenile Handicap on Thursday, Trat his rider, who was making his first appearance in a .race, the event being run for apprentices, was, very little use to him, and the best he could do was to finish third. HTidiman, the winner, is a three-year-old by Husbandmair from: Generosity, and » the -horse's stock "to race. He won very easily, and is likely to see ■azimuth, 'better-day. • •••■■>

ijnotored to Koatdanui to inspect him, ■ the opinion formed being that he is the

type/of horse seen in the Dominion ' &ot a Ipagftime. Mr. Currie has been inwith requests for his "services, "2mt outside' lii 3 own intends limiting him •to fiffeea mares. '■ ■ « '; J.

"Multiply arid Moulu are stated to have been the horses interfered with. A complaint -was lodged aa the outcome. The justice or otherwise of the sentence cannot.be.commented ony for no evidence, was given tO-the Press, and, as stated, the occurrence could not be seen from the stewards' 6tand.

Th«i Koatanui youngsters for this yean? sales in Sydney are considered to be easilj- the best llr Currie has sent ajrossr and • keen , judges are regretting tie fact that it is necessary to .send., them out of -the Dominion. Their breeder, however, finds that the Australian market is much the better from a financial point of view, for, anything of tfeo is sure £o sell-well. In the colts by Harroiv and Earlestone —Our Lady Mr Currie lias two of tliu ffne-st youngsters one could wish for. The latter, which is a half-brother to Bronze, is a perfect" specimen of the and it will be very surprising if he is not one of the top-priced ones. The other lots to be sent across are colts by King Kufus from and Hollywood, and fillies by Cardinal (Beaufort—Cintra, Royal Eu'fuis—Moira Mα Chree, and Harrow —Alannah, and iJtflgetlier they are a splendid, collection.

J. Buchanan did not journey to Want ganui, after all, and tlie horses of the Hon. J. D. Ormond were ridden on ths opening day t>y. another Aiicklander in P. Brady.

Tlie Auckland-bred two-year-old by Elysian—Lady Hester has had the name of Beltane claimed for him, and he is due to make his first appearnce undxjr silk at Dannevirke next week.

The filly Spain was badly galloped on at Gisborne, and was unable to fill her engagements at Wanganui. Spain will probably be retired to the stud next season.

Mr. T. H. Lowry has Marshal McDonald and Chit Chat in the sale list, but if they are not disposed of shortly, he will probably send the "former to Sydney to race, in which case he will go into F. McGrath's charge. Nothing, however, has yet been definitely.decided on.

Black Northern's time for the Westmere Hurdle Race, which was given as about two miles, was 3.53 2-5. The distance was just on a furlong over the two miles, and several private watches made him run H. 40 for the two miles, which is easily an Australasian record, although, of course, it would not stand.

Mr. T. H. Lowry will probably divido his team at Easter time, sending some to Christchurch, and others to Auckland. It will, of course, all depend on the treatment accorded by Messrs. Henrys and Morse respectively, how they are divided.

It was the intention to give Pariform a chance to win distinction over hurdles, and when schooled at Awapuni recently, the son of Boniform made a fairly good showing for a beginning. He was given a further trial at Wanganui yesterday morning, but refused- repeatedly, and fell over the rail guard, and was then taken off.: Pariform rant a decent race in the Flying Haiidlcapron: Thursday, and will probably be kept at racing on the flat for a while yet. ,

BLOODSTOCK SALE. A sale of Woodstock was held at Wanganui on Fridti3', when the following lots were disposed of on account of G. -M. Currie: Brown colt by Harrow from Catehfly, W. Holmes,- DOgns.; chestnut colt by Harrow from Keepsake, R. D. Morrison, 17gns.; bay filly 'by Salvadan : from Condamine, Paull Bros, 26gns.; Keepsake (bay mare) by St. Leger from Bangle, Paull'Bros., lOgns. On account of G. T. Moore, black gelding, 2 years, by Signor from Driana, P. O'Xeill, So gns.; bay filly, 2 years, by Signor from True Shot, Goodwin, Tlgns.; brown gelding, 2 years, by Signor from .Armistice, Ayres, Vzogns.; chestnut filly> 2 years, by Signor from Rau Eau. E. A. McKenzie, lOlgns.; bay gelding, 3 years, by Signor from Helen Portland, A. G. Laing, 51 gns.; bay gelding, 3 years, by Signor from Swift, H. 11. Campbell, 220gns. ■ ; THEWAXGASTUI CUP. The. face for the ATariganui Cup was a nice one to watch, for with the pace a bit slow in the early part, the field was not strung out to any extent. Mullingar showed a bold front for nearly a mile and a-half, while Colonel Soult and El Gallo were always nicely placed. Mullingar showed signs of the struggle just before the home turn was reached, and it could be seen that he was beaten, while El Gallo was' also holding out signals of-distress. At the entrance to the straight Houlu and TVelcohic Nugget were together in the lead just in front of Auckland's main hope, Colonel Soult, which was on the rails,.with Multiply on the .outside of him, and looked to .he boxed in. Multiply, however, was a beaten horse, and with a little extra pace needed, failed to" go on, and thia gave O'Shea an opportunity to get Colonel SoHlt clear, which he did not fail Shooting the Auckland champion thrSS&h the opening.' left, he soon had him stretching "out at top, and Soult's son responding like.a racehorse, he picked up Welcome Ovugggt and Ufoulu stirde by stride, snatching a popular victory by a neck. It was a fine effort by horse and rider, and well merited the applause given as the winner returned to seals. Colonel Soult ran one of the best races of his career. His dash of pace enabled OT3kea to keep him in a handy position, and had the chpek at the home turn robbed him of victory it would have only been in keeping with the hard lnck that has pursued the horse in big races. Fortunately, however, for his connections, the luck was with them on this occasion, not that it was a lucky win, by any means,.but that he was not kept on the rails too long to enable him to put in a successful finishing effort. Welcome Nugget ran a good race, as did Mbulu, Tangjhou and Sfnllingar. Tangihou was somewhat unlucky in the fact that his rider lost one of his irons, but if the race "was run a hundred times the result "would probably be the same as far as the winner was concerned.
