Whipping Hoy is not a beauty to look at. but may turn out useful later on. while lied Hind should also be able to pick up a stake shortly. Tinokaha and Deviation were companions 1 In a gallop over four brush hurdles at j Kllerslie 011 Thursday morning. The for- j mer had too much pace for Deviation, and | led all the way, though he made a slovenly 1 jump at the last obstacle. Deviation fenced well. j The suoees>ful riders and drivers at the Auckland Trotting Club's spring meeting were: 'Messrs. Ilryce and 11. Kinniniopt I two each, and W. Orange. .1. .Johnson. W.J 11.

He got over I the sod wall and double all right, but coming I t«i the stone wall knuckled over, when near ; the fence, and nearly came down. The s incident appeared to frighten liirn for he 1 slopped at the obstacle and could not be i induced to face it again, being eventually '; ■taken off. • Tenacious and Gladwin fere sent a round j of the big country al Kllerslie 011 Thursday 1 morning going over the hill. Had win hit J the second fence of the double hard, and 1 lost his rider, who. however, kept hold the reins. He was remounted, and 'l>n- 1 aeious -waiting for him the pair completed the journey without mistake, although both , \ were Inclined to run down their fences. jJ The success of Hookah in the Spring ! Handicap Pay Turf Club's j meeting on Thursday would probably co;ne n> a surprise. Hookah, which is by Muiti- . lid—Pyridine has been off The seme for ] about' twelve months, and in four starts Inst season ran a second and two third*, j the second place being in the Spring Han- j ill cap last year, when she was beaten by j Cleft. i i' 1 Mr. H. 1.. Stead was soincwuat concerned about tlio pestponing of the Waikato Hunt. \ I'lub's meeting »;ii Monday, for it prevented j him givim. Slarland a run. before lie was ! sent to Hiecarton to contest the New Zea* i land Cup. It i> stated that the horse was j galloped at Cambridge, being assisted bv \ s-ome of Mr. U. Hannon's team, and when t he arrives in the South will go into the f charge of Mr. T. Qninllvan, who will super-! t intend his final gallons for the Canterbury!! Jockey Club's two mile race. U A eorrespondi'iit writes complaining of; the speed which motor cycles go throuu'e the Kllerslie racecourse to the danger of J liorsp.s and children and suggests something t *■ should be done in the matter. tor tlci ficiicllt of my correspondent, a lady by the'* wav. if mav be pointed out thai notices;ure* posted at various points, limirinjr the speed through the course t«» six miles per, hour, but the "road hr-gs" pay as little it tent ion to i lie notices as they do to the : •itv by-laws. Fntii this class ..f the comiminity can be brought to res|»ect the riirhts j , if others a remedy is hard to litid Uliless ! - it is to prohibit them altogether, and this;will surely be done if the motor cyclists jire not more careful. j ;1 Kinkora and The Gleaner started on* to-',, getlier for a round ol the hurdles at Kliersie 0:1 Thursday morning, but The Gleaner y. iiir the first fence hard rolling right over tl] lier rider, the fall looking a nasty one., Kortunatelv. however. Turner who was in j rhe saddle, soon got on his feet and j, ■>fT with a light shaking. The value of the »kull cap was however oiwe more demon- \ Urated. for Turner came down so heavily f hat the cap was brok:-n almost in half, so he result had he not been wearing t lie | ;J if-ad gear can easily )»e imagined. Kinkora ' ji lumped the remaining three hunllos by hlm-| s sdf in a tisfactory manner, while Turner; S lfterwarda remounie«l The (ileaner and she I f iumped the four obstacles without ; f mi-hap. s :

j Kiiwana, a three-year-old gelding by Kilbronev from Chakwana, won a double at ilir recent Walpawa Kacing Club's meeting. 1 Viyello will he the only horse to carry I the 'colours of the.

Conway ;.nd T. Chaplin were drlvI i»g and riding ai t lie Auckland I'roiring I chili's spring meeting, but neither suenvded in' .-leering a winner. The Auckland horseman S. Henderson, who rode Monte 10 victory in the hurdle I race at the Poverty P.:.v meeting on ihurs- ! day, was successful in the same race last, j year, when he steered Cymer to victory. Mr J.

'Wad- ' deM. trainer of the farmer, will not leave i for the North until after the racing at Tn nthani to-day. | Mr. W. T. Jennings. M.P.. who returned j from a trip round the world by the Makura yesterday, met the old lime New Zealand 1 | iinnkin.ikor Mr. "Hilly" iVeslon in Kill-J I goor'iie. and had a long chat about old time; 'sport. The ex-New Zea lander is now the. proprietor of a billiard parlour in Kal- ' Proliably the most popular victory at the tccent Auckland Trotting Club's spring meeting was that scored by W. MeMaster with Mr. Johnstone's mare liuanni in the j I liiMilni ion Handicap, the concluding event] ; of the meeting. The trainer and rider | mentioned has not had the best of luck j for a l<>ng time, loir now the tide has turned i it is to be hoped it will bring further sue- j j cess to his staolc. j I It i> stated 1 hat one of the reasons | which necessitated the postponing of the ! second day of the Wellington Spring Meet- | ing until to-day was the inability of the j t-lub to get a tote stall until tJieu. The : -Carterton Club Committee was very indignant. about the Wellington Club deciding ! to race on ihe day lixed for I heir | meeting, and a deputation met the 'Metro- ■ pdimn 'Club and discussed the matter, with the result tint it was agreed that Carterton should race on November ♦">, and that . Wellington would make tlietn a grant. j In a private letter to the writer, Mr. T. ' ; 11. I„owry mentions that he had decided ; on attending the Doneaster yearling sales. with the object of purchasing a couple of ] I tillies to send back to "New Zealand with ( j Paradise Duck, but ricked a knee while 1 • shooting and was unable to walk 011 the ; day the youngsters were offered. There ] , was a marked difference in the prices this year, but a full sister to Paradise Duck j brought guineas. Mr. Lowry expects to be back in plenty of time for the A.K.C. 1 summer meeting, at which he will have several horses racing. A correspondent writes alleging that at a recent galloping meeting money was rung {on oue of the competitors after the horses | i had left the p»st. If my correspondent! i actually witnessed this, it was plainly his j » duly to have complained to the Government 1 j official jn charge ..f the machine, but I am afraid a lot appeals to the imagination. ! On all courses where the t italisator is used I there Is a Government inspector, whose/ duty it is to personally supervise the work- ■ ing of the machine. After the machine has .been adjusted the inspector cheeks the jtigurrs on the face, with the tickets sold, and until he is satisfied everything is 1 correct, the starter does not get the signal to let the horses go. The dividend is 1 worked ont on tip ligures displayed on the I face of the machine to the public, before I the start is effected, and which the inspector takes down In his book and checks I the dividend himself. With these conditions prevailing it would not matter if bun-' 1 . d ret Is of tickets were rung on after the j start, if that were possible, for as mentioned the dividend is calculated from the , ligures taken down by the Government inspector before the signal is given to the 1 star;or to dispatch the tield.

After two days' tine weather, rain again set in this evening, but. a good Pit of work was done yesterday in excellent weather, j when the track was in fair order. Kgotism, Cupidon. and Coniston were companions in a strong working gallop from fh» nine furling peg. The throe finished togefner. Farceur and Yaldamo ran half a mile in ."<) sec., Farceur finishing better than bis stable mate. Winning Hit:, brought home by Timepiece over the last six furlongs, ran a mile comfortably in Im. His. Roval Sta** galloped ten furlongs. I'alestrlna was given a strong working gallop. Balderdash sprinted half a mile. Sunny Corner, witli Kilcullen, galloped six furlongs in lm. IS sec. The Reaver ran live furlongs under a pull, and Veil and Triage three furlongs in ,'!(! sees. Gloamirg. under a strong pull, took f>."» sec. for half a mile. Foo Chow and Orange Mart, brought home by Dribble over the last; seven, ran ten furlongs in -mill. 17 l-o see. Warlove jumped off at the mile and a-hnlf peg, being joined by Muff after going two furlongs, and got to the end of the task in Umin. I t •!-•*» se»-. Poth tinishe«l well, and it was a satisfactory gallop. Conilict and Vv'nrhue ran seven furlongs in tmin. oii •!•.*» sec. Will Oakland, who was assisted by Petunia and Jean (irmcn. coverod the same ground in ltniu. 'l.'l 2-.* i sec. Marauder beat IJ.lvbrooke over half-a-mile in '& 2-.*» sei\ F. Til ley's team was out doing steady pacing on the sand. Maioha. The Hawk, The Cypher. T.'aishanga, Taiparu. Starland. am! Punch arrived at Riccnrton yesterday. The Ilawk was out. in the al'rernoon. and did a working gallop on the tan. looking well. As the Cup meeting draws near interest is increasing steadily, and Rieearlon should provide great sport during the carnival week. The Cup race, of course, is the centre of discussion, and 110 very pronounced favourite is made yet. Isabel. Royal Star, Sasanof. and Maioha are all fairly popular with ante-post betters, and there are inquiries for Admiral Codrington, Maioha, and Starland. Royal Star galloped well in the Kangiora Cup on Monday last, and although doing nothing sensational, his work was done in jiood style. Rational looks like being favourite in the Stewards' Handicap, and The Hawk and j Absurdum are sure to bo well backed. Miehaela. which won the Stewards a couple of years ago villi 7.5. showed winning form at Gore early in the week, end by all accounts is coming back to her be't form. Jn tiiis year's race she again has 7.5. F. D. Jones is still in Wellington with Amythas. Mustard Pot. and Co., but P. Mason ami 11. Cults returned with their respective teams on Tuesday last. j. Work at Kiecarton this morning was of an uninteresting description. Ail the local trainers had teams out. but the ta«l;s were of an easy character. Visiting horses whoj arrived during the week were given steady! pacing. Gloaming continues to get through j useful tasks at Itiecarton, but has not donui much fast work since his return from Australia, and oil the occasions when be has' been sent along he has only gone a f ; -w j furlongs. He \< engaged in the Stead I Memorial Gold Cnp, but will not be rrad.v I for a hard race over a mile and a-quarter h» ' early. He can therefore i-e r.ui-ked off :•<; an unlikely starter at the Canterbury mo-t----ing. His iir<f public appearance for il;e season will probably be made in the JVihiirig Stakes, after which be will take on the j Islington Plat" and the Auckland Pbite at j the slimmer meeting of tin- Auckland lLu-; CJwb, ;

He did not trot nearly as kindly • f as in the opening event, and could not he 1 ! induced to properly settle down at any ' part, spoiling a jjood winning chance. • 'j'orial Uiniron is the' most promising trotter seen in Auckland for a long time. t ' AUCKLAND RACING CLUB.
