The Thames .horse. Kauri King.' lias already fanciers for the A.B.C. Easter Handicap, and has been supported for that event. , The two leading horsemen, J. O'Snea and B.

Lady Sabretache overreached a-little during the running of the hurdle race at Paeroa on Friday, and may not be a starter on Saturday. The Auckland horse Tararu Jack -has ibeen nominated for the hurdle events rat the forthcoming Manawatu Racing 'Club's Autumn Meeting. The Waikato sprinter Ring Luptn has been nominated- tor- the Wellington Racing Glob's Autumn Meeting, so evidently his owner has some idea of giving him a chance to earn distinction outside of Auckland. King's Best, which was owned by Mr P. Nesgle, of Napier, Injured himself while running 1n the paddock recently, and had to be destroyed. / Mr. W. J. Ralph _as nominated both El ■Gallo and Penniless for the Manawatu Autumn Meeting. Three other Aucklauders in the list are Signo, Torotoro, and ■Hopyc. O. 'McArten, is reported'to have put up a great performance at the recent-Opunakl'meeting, riding the winner of the first five fiat races, and just missing the sixth by a bead. The Manawatu meeting, the profits from which are to be devoted this season to the Wounded Soliicrs' Fund, looks like attracting.all the best class horses. Already. B. J. Mason, R. OTJonneU,..and J. B. Jeffcrd have secured accommodation for their teams. The * Highdett "• stable was stated to have instructed a commissioner to bid for the. Comedy Klng-Watershoot colt, halfbrother to Ermengarde, but the youngster was not himself on the day the sales were held, and he was withdrawn. .Be will be offered at the Sydney Easter sales. Guiding Way, with A. J. McFllnn in the saddle and Black Northern as a companion. Was schooled a 'couple of times Over one of the 'big bardies at Ellerslie, giving a satisfactory display ; for a beginner." Guiding Way figures amongst. the nominations for the Taumarunui . meeting next week, and will probably make her debut as a hurdler there. . > Although Indigo has not been nominated for the handicap events to be decided at the WelKngtbn Racing Club's Autumn Meeting, he figures in the list for the Tre%tham Gold Cup, the two-mile,weigbt-for-age race.Others nominated are Eligible, Nones, Desert Gold, Balboa, ParseQller and Multiply. The Awapunl Gold Cup, which is run .at welght-for-age, over a mile and a-quarter, has drawn the following, nominations:— Chortle, Wishful, El Gallo, Nones, Eligible, Balboa,- Desert Gold, Panmure, Adjutant, and Square Deal. The race last year provided a great struggle between Chortle aud Balboa, which finished first and second..; The North Island Challenge Stakes has not drawn the representative lot Of two-year-olds anticipated, and the absence of Hyttus and Good Hope wil rob the event of some Interest. Sasanoff, The Toff and Egypt still remain, however, and if Desert Gold is withdrawn the battle of the trio with Emperador should be worth witnessing." \The race is run under welght-for-age conditions with penalties. The well-known SoutberiTsportsman, Mr Jas. Bull, has been advised that as a result of a Court of Inquiry, it has been I established that his son, Melville, was 'killed in action at Galllpoll on August' 8.The deceased, who was a first-class amateur horseman, enlisted with the main body, and was reported wounded on August 8. For a long time no definite 3nforanatlon could be obtained about alia, and for months past the worst has been feared. Another son, Lindsay, also went with the main toady, and Is still In Egypt Mr. Ball will nave the sympathy of a large number of sportsmen In his bereavemeht The A.J.C handicapper is. evidently of the opinion, that there it not a vcry= great deal of difference between the form th New Zealand and Australia, for In framing his weights for the Sydney-Cop he puts 5.9 on ratrobas, 8.7 on Cetigne, and 8 0 on Eligible.
