"El Gallo is to be nominated for the "Wellington Racing Cub's Winter Meeting, but ii. wiU all depend on Mr. Cnyle's treatment, of h.m whether he is taken South or not. Matters at F.iierslia are verj" quiet at present. Very few horses are beinc given Bc l; .d work, and trainers for tbe most pa:: are engaged with the rising two-year-olds. Taking advantage of tee recent tine weather, Mr A.

Several hardy annuals appear among the notices o: motions to be discussed •t the forthcoming New Zealand Racing Conference. The licensing of trainers and jockeys by the conference, and the appointing of racecourse detectives are the most important. Genrrral rerret will be felt in sport in;: circles throughout the Dominion at the news that Mrs Albert Cutte. wife oi the well-kriown F.icca.rton trainer, die-] eariy the ot:ier moaning, at the asre of fwentyiix years. Sne underwent a ser-.ous operation on Saturday, and up till Monday it was hoped that rO. , wo'aJd make a good recovery.

A let of interest is being taien in the nutting of owrjers which i= to be held on iiondav evening in the Chamber uf Commerce t> consider the reduction o: racing, and the attendance promises to be larpe. All those who are eoneerned should make a point of being present, lor the matters to be Jiscussed are most iniportant. The Wang-anui Jockey Cub want rule 2. part T-w-i- of the rules of racing altered so as to make the amount payable for insurance under the rule, payable before any horse is allowed to tram or work upon any racecourse at which the totalisator is used. As the rule reads at present the fee has not to be paid until before the horse is vreighed cut for aav rate. The Stipendiary Stewards' Committee want a new rule brought in as follows: ■ >"o jockey shall jrive any information i respecting a trial, or regarding any: horse he may be engaged to ride in any j rii,-e. or in work, to any person] other than the owner or trainer of the i-jn-e. It trould make the rul- iust as] easy to ■ww-k if they were to add. "and! must let the Stipemiiard Stewards knuiv - : when liie horse is trying." At tbe present uiv according to the Enle- 01 Kwinc. a hvT?->- is deeded to be i te the starter"o Lanii~ wat-n oati- he is ■weighed out. and .: he meets »it:i an ] accident between then au-i the t.u:e he j leaches the post he is deemed a .-tarter. I and any money iri\e<ted on his number ' on the marhine is lost. It has Ion" been j fcit that this aan a; ». ur d r:; ; e . and is j anything )ut a genjd advertisement fur 1 the totalizator. At the coming confer- i encetheSrratfoTdEaoing Club will move I to .uive this altered by 'declaring a horse in the starters han.ls '.ive minutes before tL;- aJvextieeJ. time ~: E the race.

TLe on!y motion brought forward by tLe jluckland Racing Club to bo ct.iu~i.l--ered by tile iurtiiuuining conference i=: "No trainer s»ha..l whilut einpluyed in training horse* iur payment, or n-.iiiu-aeration, or upon terms, tram or start in any any horse of which he or his ■Wife is owner or in "huh he or hi= ■wife lias any interest required by these niies to be registered. Any horse so trained or started shall be disqualified for a period of not less than twelve montb>." This, if carried, will considerably effei-t the small trainer who has onJv a few horses under his control and races a horse of Jiis oyrn. I

The old fellow tumbled headfirst into a well on the property oi Mr. Kean at south Hillend. an ! thus met a watery and the excavation is to be filled in upon his remains. Dunns his declining years the Apremont treldine was used as a rabniter's. ha:-K. and finally his owner was permitted by Mr. Kean to allow him to spend h:a last da_\s in a rich panure, where he ruamed at his ease. THE SEASON'S WTXMXGS. It is a irreat performance for any ow-ner in tiie Dominion to win stakes of an amount running into five figures in one season, says tbe AVellinston writer "Sir Lancelot."' In the season 1901-2 the !ate Mr. Geo. 'J. Stead's team won £12.325. and ten year= later Sir Geo. Clifford nearly equalled that with £12.030. 80-Ji amounts were easily beaten last season by Mr. T. H. Lowr.r". when Hesert (rold and her stable mates won i! 7.2.'4 between them. That is a I record lilceiy to stand for some time. j Although aßlboa won only 149 soys. this ! season, against 2t}4osovs. in the previous (term, the select team trained by Y.
