He chanced more than nne hurdle, but only one stopped him slightly. The All-aged Stakes form at Randwick on Thursday makes G-reenstpad now l<n>k the champion niiler in Australia at weight-for-ag's as he bear both Wolaroi and Cetigne The last-named was entrusted with th" task In preference to Biplane. The going was heavy, li took 1.42 to run the mile. The Chaplin Stake was one of the events at the Lincoln Meeting, and of course was so called in memory of a famous sportsman r>f thru name. The owner who had a two-year-old racing at the meeting in the name of Dear Old Charlie must surely have been thinking of the comedian when he selected that name for his steed. .Snrib. at the -Kandwlct Meeting, is Just the wimp n1(l-fa?bloneil plodder that he has proved himself in New Zealand. As was generally supposed by anyone who knows the form in Australia, ne met bnrses quite n stone belo-w w.f.a. class when he iron at Flemington. \rhiit a hurdler he will be if he tnkes nicely to -»he game. The sooner he is put to the business the better. This year eirps of the value of oOsovs and respectively of the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase winner Poeth'vn, under the conditions of the nice. The writer has often though!" that the trainers of horses New ZenlMnd might receive some swfh recognition from racing clubs. The feeling Is growing thnt the TVnngnmii .Tnekev Club and the Auckland Rnclns Club should be n bir more considerate towards owners, nnd allow nt least two or three rtnvs more hetiwpen their Winter Meetings. Wanganui lost some horses that would hnve meed there, and the Auckland Bncing Clnb did not get such a representative lot as would have been the case if the meetings had not come quite so close. The three-year-old Dominion, by Polymelus —Osyrua. whose successes at two yenrs old werp referred to in these columns whpn dealing with his form in the Two Thousand Guineas, hns shown bis consistency by winning the Ne-wmarket Stakes. Old Bill, who wmb second, is a three-year-old by William the Third from Brownie, and Lord Basil, who was recently mentioned ns a Derby possibility, is by Bayardo from Popinjay. Sendown was a better horse at WangJvnni than at Manawatu. and a lot of people thought he could not miss the Century Hurdles, but be did. The form of Euripos :it F.gmont did not disclose what he was capable of over the longer conrse at Wnnganni. and the West Coasters went for Pnraoi. who. many thought, was kept too far out of the race by J. Dpery. who will ride him in the Great Northern "at Ellerslie. Poitrpl has. again demonstrated what a good one D"sert Gold was up against In the Spring Stakes at Randwick. when he beat that mare a head In record time over the mile nnd a-half at "weiirht-for-age. in winI ning the Cumberland Stakes, over two miles. =nd M-gHin defeating Kennaquhalr. As this is the third time he has done so he Is now entitled to the championship honours as a w f-a. horse over all distances, at least beyond a mile and a quarter. Kennaquhaix has raced quite up to form apparently. The chairman of the Australian Jockey Clul . Mr Adrian Knoi, has been advised by the Consul-General for France (Monaieur C. it. Cumpanni that the French Go-vern-iTient b.'i-; conferred upon the club tbe decoration of "Medaille de la nc-onnnlpsjince Francr.lse"—medaille de vermeil (medal of French gratitude)—ln recognition of "the "-raUan Jockey Cliiti to the cause of Frnnco and French patriotic institutions." The chairman has received the ribbon of decoration, with an a.ivice that the diploma nnd medal will i, P forwarded as soon as they are received by the Consul-General.

I Omahu and Astinome Tver? two winners by Maniapoto at the Wanganui Meeting. Mania-poto has beeu in the Auckland province some time. The oM-esrnblished practice of giving a , champion Cheshire cheese of the value of oeovs to the respective o>vners <it' the lirst, sw-onil. anj third horses iv the Chester Cup is still adhered to. Waiter Rayner. the Wanganui trainer, had a brace of promising coming two-year-olds In the saddling paddock at the Wanganui Meeting. One is a brown UUy : the other a chestnut colt. Both ure by Absurd. Hoatu, one of the 'chasers racing at Wanpanui. was sot by Ebony, presumably fhe trotting-brfd' horse of that name, who stood in a North Taranaki district for some years. J. Whitworth, an ex-New Zen Under. train* the Beragoon colt which won the A.J.C. Champairue Staki-s fr>r the ~\-\.. - Zealand owner Mr. E. J. Watt. It is thought tiat the colt -will be one of the favourites for the A.J.C. Derby, but the same owner has a nice colt in i'ershore, by All Black, who some people prefer. Trombone had 131b and Risingham Clb overweight in the Connolly HandJi-ap. The last-named had a little the worst of the luefc in runnins. The pair acted as th.> pacemakers until superior forces were brought Into play. Marqueteur is the best of Kins Mark's progeny racing to date. Old Rewipoto wns the "best of the flat racers seen out over a middle distance, and Client, who good. Uewl I'oto had the topweight. Mr. Krres Webb, the caretaker of the Wacgaiiu: Jocksy Club's grounds, had everything there in ?ood order, and the Jumps I were Just the thing. The brush fences were big enough, but were not such as to scare the horses who happened to take off far and drag their 'hind legs through the brush, as 'Is so often done. On some courses the ecrub is too tightly packed into the woodwork frames, and the fences wont stand any liberties being taken by junipers. The Wangamii Jockey Club has a firstclass horse ambulance, and it was utilised foi the first time at a race meeting on Thursday last to convey "YJellow ■unci liUu'k from course. The son of All Black, who belonged to Miss N. Armstrong, fell over the lasi fence in the Wanganui Steeplechase, anc it was thought had ricked his back, and h( was taken away by his trainer in th< hope of saving his life, but appeared to b( In a very bad way, and died the same night In the "Winning Post" Mr. Bob Siever's paper, Royal Bucks or Arlon were tipped by ••Kobert le Diable," commonly supposed to be Mr Sievler himself, to win the Lincolnshire Handicap, which It oral Bucks won. Arion falling to get a place. A friend of the writer who was In England at the time took 100 to 8 about Royal Hwks. Arion by -wiuuing the Kempton Park Great Jubilee : Handicap, since showed form, but in that i race he was only handicapped at 6.3, the i ' bottomweight, and the distance was a ! who started favourite, had 7.5, -which ln- : eluded a double penalty of 101b.
