The Masterton Racing Chili has experienced a most successful season, and will.' show a good credit balance. Jlr. Alan Cameron, owner of Lady Black and Captain Clossop, is at present on a-visit to Australia. ,' Mr. W. Cooper, of the Wairarapa. who recently had his gelding Fraubonnet killed by a motor car. has issued a writ claiming £2W damages. Mr. C. F. Tallancc. who won the Wellington Steeplechase a few seasons back ■with Nedia. has a promising representa- j tive in this year's race in Rransfield. (J. Beid.who has had Mr. P. Boulton's training stables at Greenlane. has decided to relinquish training, and has gone dairy farming in the Te Awamutu district. Mr. Rod Carter lias taken over O. Keid's lease of the Soult—Merry Maid gelding Worcester, and the brown will in future"run in that gentleman's name. The Seaton Delaval gelding Sea De'il is being hacked about the roads, and has bruit up splendidly, and may be tried over the battens in the near future. i Kitty Bellairs has been sent to her owner's farm at Rama Rama to be spelled and freshened up before starting active training for next season's campaign. A full sister to Red Ribbon (Eleva-1 tion's Blue Ribbon) has been taken in hand by W.- Garrett. She is not so robust as her sister, but may fill out in , time. Old Sir Knox is in work again, and may be taken to the Wellington meeting if the weight suits. The old fellow did a light season at the stud last year, and it does not seem to have done him any harm hy the way he moves in his work. T. Pritchard started Amber and White on the second day at Napier, but the St. Ambrose mare did not get a place. However, this was her first appearance over hurdles, and she may do better later on in the season. Three, the Welkin colt recently trained at'Masterton. and which was taken to Australia in February last, was started seven times in Australia and has won ince, although on four different occa■jons he filled a place. Three was alsoj j ?ery consistent when racing in this ( •jonntry.

The two-yea r-o'ld Independence has been taken up again after a spell, and will bo put into active work under her owner's care at headquarters. Mr. W. Beck, who purchased the Monoforra—Miss Jack horse Monojack, has the little chestnut looking bright and well, and the horse has settled down all right in his new surroundings at Turua. Mr. Todd's Spalpeen gelding Rpalspire, i which has been hunted, is doing well, and will be prepared for some of the Pakuranga Hunt Club events. The horse is in line condition. Mr. A. Webber's rising two-year-old .' filly by Robert the Bruce—Mahinga, is looked upon as a likely juvenile. She should come to hand fur the early spring events, and as she is smart on her pins may give a good account of herself. U. Mcyucll has the St. Crispin gelding Chris in training on the beach at Taka--1 puna. The horse is pretty well forward, and will very likely be given a run at tin' Pnkuranga Hunt Club Meeting on August 20th. J. McHugli. the Onehunga trainer, comes to Ellerslie occasionally with a chestnut mare that is still in the maiden i class, and usually puts in easy tasks on the sand track. Neither Worcester nor Parsimony have tackled the timber since they misbehaved themselves when schooling last week over the pony hurdles. The stable companions may improve when the ground is iv better order. A. Jackson, who has lately started horse training at EHerslie, lias taken over the balance of 0. Reid's lease of Mr. P. Boul ton's training establishment, Ascot Avenue, Greenlanc. and has seven horses with which to make a start— ! Kaiwhakahacre, Hohungatahi, Worees- ] tcr. Parsimony. Kidderminster, Kralf. and Pemberey. Masterto-i stables are generally well represented at Trentham gatherings, and I this month's mooting will see quite a 1 number of locally trained horses taking part. Those nominated arc: —Uraiißfield. Amber and White, Sir Solo. Cir Knox, ,'Maniapoto gelding owned by Mr. Vallance. Lady Rlack, Anzac, Captain Glossop. Critic, and Sir Agnes. I Xo surprise was evinced on Friday when the news came through that Mr. Lvsnar's mare Pursefillor had won the H.B. Handicap Hurdle Race at the Hawke'a Bay Winter Meeting. The daughter of Letlie^ —Golden View was nicely treated with 10.8 after her win on the concluding day of the A.R.C. Winter gathering. That brooding thoroughbreds is still curried on extensively in certain States of America i< demonstrated by the following: "Mr. John E. Maddens stud at Lexington. Kentucky, contains 2;)5 brood marcs in its 2240 acres of land. In 1015 the produce of the stud mares and stallions won 325 races worth £T>S.----065. and during the past seven years the stallions at Mr. Maddens stud hare sired winners of £321,0H0."

Mr. Thompson, another Turua sportsman, has his two-year-old filly by Elysian—Kowerewere placed in F. Stciining's stable to bo got ready for the Spring fixtures, and the filly will probably make her debut in the Avondalc Stakes next September. The Southland gelding Varanian. by Varco—Ngaio. broke one of his legs while being schooled over hurdles this week, and had to lie destroyed. He was bred by Mr. 1. G. Duncan, but early in his career was sold to the Southern sportsman. Mr. 11. Cunningham, for whom he did a lot of racing, with little success. On Thursday morning very little work took place at headquarters on account of the bad weather, most of the trainers preferring to take matters quietly till the weather cleared up. Five of' F. MacManemin'e rising two-year-olds put in work of a useful order on the sand truck, the young ones being very lively when the squalls were on. The pacer Rarmajruie, hy Tluon .Tun., died last week through falling into a ditch which .ran through the paddock | in which the horse was turned out. Harmaguie was bred in Australia, and came to the Dominion in 1!H)S. He was a very speedy horse and had some good performances to his credit in mile races. Mr. C. Louisson lias been re-elected unopposed as president of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club, and Mr. J. H. Williams, vice-president.' and Mr. (leo. Trcleaven. treasurer, have also been returned without opposition. For three vacancies on the committee, five nominations have been received, and for ten stewards, there are twelve nominations. Thanks to the victory of St. Carwyne. Mr. \V. Ualley heads the list of successful Australian owners, so far as New South Wales is concerned, with the fine sum of .C 7237 to his credit. All but £G0 of the £C 347 standing against Mr. Barnett'e name resulted from Cetigne"e good deeds, while Wohvroi is the biggest contributor to Mr. D. U. Beaton's £611!). Others well up in the list are: —W. Booth £4SOI. B. Crawford £4334. W. Brown £4181. L. K. S. Mackinnon £4091, W. E. Bidwill £3306. and A. G. White £3060. WHAXGAREI KAOIKC, OLUB.
