The two-year-old Rational has won in Btakes so far -this peaain ISSOsovs. The rightrwelglt horseman W. Pereival, j who ooly weighs about 6.12, has rejoined j E. .7. Bae's stable at lEllerslie. Ayres, who rode Thrace in the Orpwa ■Hurdles, hod to carry no less Ui3n Tuilb dead-Tvelgb't to make up the 12.10 the son of Poseidon had to carry. Gloamtag. Rossini, ami Taspnccj have been taken to New I'lymontn to fulfil uneir eDcngemente at the TaranaJd next week. Mr. W. R. KembaJrs team failed to earn any stake money at the -Wellln-gton M£€ttng. It has been decided to give them a let-op, and they will not be out at Ne/w Plymou-t.h next week. Mr. Murchison. after officiating with Mr. ildlaion at the Wellington Meeting, came north, and wa.s present in hbi official ca.pacity at the Takapuna Meeting on Wednesday. a<rting in conjunction with Mr. Cordon. J. Bnehannn took Canzonet on ta New iPlyniontli after the WeJlin-giton Meeting, tmd the eon of .Uezonian is to fulfil his engajrements at the Taranaki 'Meetin-g next week. Mr. Feaeoek did n<rt lose possession of He.ptii for yen* long, for after selling hsn to Mr. T. M. Wllford. -M-d 3 .. before the Kaitoke Handicap Jast Monday re-purchased him on Tuesday evening. It is stated that there is every probability of (iloam.irsg being taken to Australia shortly to contest the riefh Caulileld 'Fnturity Stakes flt the V.A.T.C. Autumn Meeting. Surveyor's form in the Stewards' Handicap on Wednesday, in -whteh he ran third, ' suggested that it was only S question of the son nf Nassau keeping sound to win a decen-t race during the autumn. The time, 2.35 3-5, registered t>y StarlanQ In the Tatapuna Cup, is S-otb. of a eecond outside the record, 2.35. which stands to the credit of laet year's winner. Uncle Ned, which ran the distance in 2.35. D. .Moraghan lias rnipetaised the filly by KiHironey—Honesty, and is working her at EHerslie, while the fily by Kilbxoney— Scotch Mriody has also gone in*o tls charge to b>; educated in :he racing game. Big BeTi. the youngster liv Potoa—Chime, was given his first run on Wednesday, wjhen he was saddled up to contest the Calliope Handi ap at Takapuna. Big Ben ran very green, and may not be seen at his best until next season. Gatherer made a big effort to win the Takapnna Cuip from end to end. and it was only in the last furlong that he failed. Aided by his light weight he made the pace a cracker, his showing coming as o bit of a surprise, and he is evidently a greatly Improved horse. Mr. H. >R. (Burrett did not have to wait long to get a fair portion of the money he paid for Unatti last monfh, the son of Mountain Knight wlnnlna the Calliope Handicap on Wednesday in a fashion thar «ay e the impression that he would develop Into a useful stayer. W. Sharp has Cnahi very well, and as he has not had the best <if luck for some time, no one will begrudge bim his euccess. Kermin. whicn made her first .appearance under silk when she contested the Calliope Handicap on Wednesday, is a nice sfcapely filly by Kermin—F>ow Bells, and in one of the lots purchased in Australia by Mr. H. W. Alison, jun. Lady Kermin did not take any part in the finish, but her running suggested that with a ]ttUe more experience she would pay her way. C. W. Coleman just missed- bringing off a surprise in the TaSapuna Cup with Canowindra. tbe effort of the Australian-bred 2-elding being his best to date. Young Wiggins has to be given credit for riding a good race on Canowindrn. carrying nut his instructions to the letter, and with just a shade of luck at the Jiouic turn would have given Starland more trouble. After racing at Tak.ipuna on the opening day of that fixture iMx. W. (5. Rtead sent bis team to New Plymouth. G. Jones leaving ■with them on Thursday. Xhe clashing of thr. various meetings is ptrttinir horseowners and others to a lot of inconvenience, to *»y_nohhing of the expense, aud a more strict snperv-ifiion of the dates Hy the committee of the Conference would make for the iMtfterment of Che sport. Tinohoro had enouph supporters to sena fcim out favourite for the Taka-puna Cup. out his diTJlay was a disappointing one. •He was running second to Gatherer for about two-thirds of the journey, but it was only on- sufferance, for, from the stand, it looked as if Glover had to keep him at it to hold his position. Wien the actual racing commenced he gradually died out of it, eventually finishing last. The double-flgTzre price returned by -Goi den Babble when he won the Steward , .-' Handicap on 'Wednesday, came as some surprise, for on his recent form he should have *>een one of the favourites. O'Shea got him out well, snd the son of Absurd practically led all Hie way to win hy a couple of lengths. Golden Bublile cannot be very much on the wronp side of Hie ledger hy now. A ho"seman ridins at the recent Northern Walroa meeting had serious accusations made against him hy a trainer, who had nothing to do with the horse the rider concerned had the mount on. As a result a complaint against the trainer was hxlcert with the stewards, and the matter will probably come before the- District Committee at their next meeting. The victory of Starland In the Takapuna Cup was an easy one. the Ant-Wand Cup •winner only playing wltih the field at the ftkisn. A. Reed rode n most conliileat nice • m the son of Nassau, and going along the hack for home had. bim well 'back. last. 'Four fnrlcngs from home (J-athercr was still going strongly iv front, but Reed did not seem at all anxious, and it was not until they crossed the top that he moved on Starland. Tt did not take long for Mr. •Stead's geliing to run past his field, and he really had The race won at the '.i !l ie turn. poing on to win easily t>y a n.uple of lengths. Nothing had a dance when X came to racing, and it was the easiest Cup [Factory registered for some time.

Mr. B. A. Laurent, at one time a prominoiH West Coast owner, recently passed away at Waitaru. It Is worthy of note tnat not one of the sturters in last year's Takapuua Cup cootested this year's event. Vermilion ran n real cood race in the Zealandia Handicap at Takapuua on Wednesday, and it should not be long before the daughter <>f All Ued picks up a stake. Some firar or five prominent horsemen are lo appear (he Auckland District Committee at their next meetlug In connection %vitli certain happenings at the rectnt \VaLpa aiid Tauniaruuul meetings. Dovi lrt got a very bad passage In the Stewards' Handicap on Wednesday, but for which she would have been much closer to the leaders at the finish. All Talk ran a good rnce in the Orewa Hurdles <>v 'Monday, although he conld not do better than get third, and with the racing he is gebtiirg should be at his best when the winter rolls round. The '"horses for conrses" theory Iβ well borne out iv the case of Tenacious at Takapnna. for hi his Inst ten starts on the North ciliore course he has won four times, been fonr times second and twice third. At the recent Moorfield meeting in Sydney. Mr. R. ,T. Watt, the ex-New Zealand sportsman , , won a double, AU ATxiiu-d winning the Moorflrld llandl<-ap, and Bright .Night the Flying Handicap. It is understood that H. Gray will have the mount on Silver Link at the West Coas*. meetings next month. A. .1. McFlinn. who usaaJly rides her. will probably be at the Ciisborne meetings. the Flauraki Hurdles on Wednesday, for he was goiug well in a handy position when he was badly interfered with through Swastika failing In frout of him. The Wangannl horseman K. Copestakc won both himlle races at Takapnna on Wednesday, riding Multiplane in the Haurakl Hurdles and Tenacious iv the Orewa ; Hurdles. After her successes at DargaviUe recently Killott was sorted out for favourite In the i Trial Handicap at Takapuua on Wednesday, bnt never once flattered her supporters, and was a Ions; way '.iaek when the post was reached. The veteran New ZeaJander i which is now about 12 years old, is to ue money, and F. McUrath has him in work again at Randwick. Carman Sylva, which had to be destroyed as the result of the mishap in the Trial Handicap at Takapuna on Wednesday, was a beautifully-bred fllly. and although not a success on the race track, looked like being profitable as a brood mare. Sasnnof has tailed to stand another preparation, and It Is understood Mr. W. G. •Stead has pensioned him off for good. The well performed son of Mnrtian is certain to be well looked after for the remainder of his days. During bis career on the turf Susanof wou Iv stakes £18.-US. Multiplane, whien wou the Haurakl Maiden Hurdles at Takapur.a. had not won , n race since he scored in the Bay of ; Menty Handicap in January, 1919. Ho won In g-KKI style on "Wednesday, and though he did not beat a very strong fleh. looks like proving useful as a hurdler. R. has made a big inrproTement In ! Jaffna, and under his trainiirg the daughter of Absurd succeeded In winning her Brst race, being successful at I>argav!lle recently. The trainer mentioned is re- . llnquishing control of Mr. MaUiias' horses. ■ and may accept a position as prirate , trainer to another sportsman. I ■ the Tafcapunj meeting, but the danirhter of • Land of Song, get-Hug rid of her attendant , one day recently, bolted along the road and i injured her hocks, the mishap being eeriooH ! enough to compel her withdrawal from her engagements. Up to the present Mr. Alison has not bad the best of Inck wi-tt tbe Australian bred filly. Rocfcfleld. which won the Zealandia Handicap at Takapuna on Wednesday, was successful in the same event last season, wnen he carried the colours of the Hon. B. W. Alison. since then he was purcha»ea by Mx. H. Manuel, who gave a good fonr . figure price for him. and this was his first success in his new owner's colours. The commission set np to go into the • conduct of racing generally aTe now busy ; with their duties. The time for the . rep.irt to reach the Government was the . end of this month, but an extension of a ■month has been made, and in all prol>abflity a further extenelon will be made at the end of that period. Black Mark wns a quiet tip for the Ferry "Handicap on Wednesday, but any chance the son of All Black may have had was extinguished soon after the field jumped off. There was a general mix up. and Black Mark came down on his head, but recovered without actually falling, although Goldfinch, who rode him. had his feet on the ground. Pagoda and Sir Huon were also badly Interfered with. W. Ryan, who has not had the best of luck of late, rode two fine races at Takapuna on Wednesday, when he steered RockfieM and Penona to -victory. The horseman nan:ed is one of the most regular attendants ::t Ellerslie to ride work, and his services are always at the disposal of trainers, and with his behaviour off the course an object lesson to the younger division any success that comes his way is well deserved. The Howie's Bay sportsman Mr. W. G. Stead was present at a Takapuna meeting for the first time on Wednesday lest, and it was the first occaelnn on which his colours were seen out on the Xorth Shore course. It «I?o made the first occasion Mr. G. Iα Stead has raced at the North Shore, and Starland, the firtrt horse to carry his colours, succeeded in winning the Takapuna Ctrp. Mr. E. W. Alison, jnn., ha« never lout hope of winning a race w<th Khnblai Khan, but his patience must have been sorely tried, for the son of Aryan has been racing now for about eighteen months nesday last, however, saw him break the long list of failures against nim. the Aus-tralian-bred, gelding putting the Trial Handicap at Takapuna to his credit. Now that he ha.s made a etart. K3rablai Khan . may yet repay Air. Alteon for the time and money expended on him. TE ATtOECA JOCKEY CLUB.
