Rae has been granted a jockey's license to ride in jumping races only. I Ukraine, the dam of that great horse i Sasanof, has this year foaled a filly to Kilbroney. Royal Star Is reported to be -going remarkably well at Riccarton In his preparation for the New Zealand Cup. I The weights for the first day's racing i of the Wanganui J.C. Spring meeting are due on Monday next the 4th inst. Miss Melva and Maori Tikanga jumped the hurdles at Ellerslie on Thursday morning, their display being a good one. Gladwin and Daddy's Girl were schooled ing. their fencing being satisfactory. Narrow Neck was schooled over four hurdles at Ellerslie on Thursday morning, but did not give a very impressive display. Killnte. the two-year-old, by Kilboy— Snlute. which was recently gelded, has recovered sufficiently to resume work again at Ellerslie. Llanplly, the three-year-old half sister to Miss Gold, is now a regular errondant on the tracks at Ellerslie. The filly is yet a bit backward. An unusually large number of Auckland sportsmen Intend making the trip to Australia this year, to witness the spring meetings in Australia. According to the "Dominion" R Reed lni tends returning to NV-w Zealand after the A.J.C. Spring meeting, and has applied l through the Wellington District Committee for a jockey license. Dempsey. Pukehuia and King Pellicule were sent In company over four hurdles at Ellerslie on Thursday morning. Dempsev leadiag hts companions throughout, the trio getting round without mishap. The steeplechase horse No Surrender was h^T 1 , ,'°.

The apprentice H. Wiggins, went South on Thursday to ride King Neva in his engagement at New Plymouth to-day Wiggins has also a number of rides at the Marton lixture next week. The «wner of Oinako. the nomination of ■which for the New Ken land Trotting Cop was refused by the committee of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club, is asking the committee to reconsider Its decision in this respect. A private cablegram received In Wcllincton states that Deroulede. by Absurd—Derelict, which was recently taken to Sydney by Mr. E. Simpson, won the three-year-old maiden race at Menangle Park on Monday. She was ridden by R Reed. The fllly by Absurd-Pennon, which was purchased at the sale of Mr Curries yearlings last February for or/igs by Mr D Brennan, of Sydney, is reported to be shaping exceptionally well In Tier work at UandF. McGrath. ShC * thC CharSe ° f M, ' The Dannevlrke Racing Club made a loes of £i4Ol 15/2 in connection with last season s working. The committee has deemed It advisable to abandon the one-day meeting fixed for December, and to hold a twoday meeting in conjunction with the Dannevlrke Hunt Cldb next June. The sitting of the Licensing Committee of the Now Zealand Racing Conference at Wanganui this month will take the president. Sir George Clifford, to that town, and his colours will probably be carried at the Wanganui J.C. Spring meeting by Winning Hit and Trierman. The latter claims an engagement in the Wangannl Guineas. Tenacious, Glenotro, Pio Pio and Never Despair were companions over the ble j at Ellerslie on Thur,eay morning jpmping the sod wall, donble and etone I wall a couple of times. Never Despair i f ™' t0 f ie ' at the second fence of the double, the second time, tnc other trio gettmg through their task without mishap. The Cambridge breeder Mr. G L Stead has somethius in the nature of a record in connection with «bis year's New Zealand Kup Royal Box, Bonnetter, Almoner and Iverie, which appear in the nominations, were nil-bred by him, while he owned the < ? h° a . J " - Vassa " nntil J n st before she foaled that mare. Five entries in a race ! n^ e i th is H ew Zea1 ?"" Oun i s a distinction . not held by many breeders. It seems the Irony of fnte that the day after Mr. R. J. Mason took exception to the remarks of the Sydney sporting writers i concerning the doings of Gloaming in his work, that the brilliant geldin? should come 1 out and run seven ftirlongs In 1.27. a fresh rack record for Randwic-k. In New ZvTUnd Mr. Mason has never been accused of over-estimating the capabilities of his ; charges, but they do not as a rule run I badly in their engagements. A bookmaker in England was temporarily embarrassed at a recent meeting. A rather lugh-bml punter presented his t?cif e " adjusted his monocle, and drawled- "l-ii take llfty or the very best from you olri fruit." ' * • Q •'Pro sorry, sir, but they've hit us very hard on this last race and we've run out or ready However, it'll be all rlcht, sir Just give mc your curd, and we'll send v on to you. eoaxiugly purred the bookie • W ha-at." said the monocleil one "elve yon my address! 1 should say not. I don't want my house 'burgled." ' ti-'H th £. a K D « al ™ e f, tin S of the Carterton Racing Club. -Mr. .J. Meikle considered members should booft a proposal for the racing I clubs of the Wairarapn to amaijratnate ana hold one central meeting In keeping with I the importance of the district. The TaraI tahl course was only two miles further from i Masterton than Opaki, and was second to none in the Domlniou for racing purposes He believed there would be a proposal from the Greytown Trotting Club to hold its next meeting on the Taratahi course. Under the .present burdensome taxation the clubs must go back financially. Their only hope was to amalgamate and thus curtail ■ the cost of upkeep and management. ' A charming Englishman and his wife who ,' breed thoroughbreds on an extensive »cale received a surprise when they went to have a peep at the brilliant Beauford in his home • at Newcastle, instead of finding the champion swathed in nigs and locked I* a loose box, the lady (says the "Sydney Sun") ■ came upon him wandering lazily around the back-yard beneath the clothes lines cvrrylna the week's washing. He rts as quiet as a 20-year-old cah-nor.se. When the gentleman went out Beauford was browsing contentedly in a small paddock near the house The spirited galloper whinnied with delight at the sight of bis trainer, and when Killick caleld him he came at once. The bridle , on. he proudly arched his neck as the visitor admired his splendid galloping polntn I Then off came the bridle, and with a "shoo! , ' from Killiuk. away scampered the fastest horse in Australia. Around and around the tiny paddock he cantered dis-play-ing his glorious action. ""MagnHicent: And what would you say he was worth?' asked the Englishman. •' We refused £100,000 for him," replied tUe proud to^er.,

The Auckland Cup winner Starland is now a qualified hunter, and is reported to be jumping well In the hunting field. Lady Hill and King Neva are the only horses left .in at the Marton Meeting, which lakes place on Saturday, the 9th instant. j Mr. T. H. Lowtj has claimed the name [of Oroflno for, the filly by Finland—O'Oro. land Alarm for th« filly by Finland —War Scare. Word from Wellington states that after ♦he racing at Mnrton Arcs is to be brought north to fulfil his engagements in the Avondale Guineas. The Dunedin Jockey Oral) has increased the prize money for the Dunedin Guineas to TDOsovk, nnd have only reduced the season's stakes by .C 350. There was a very keen contest for the position of president of the Fortrary Park Trotting 'Club, Mr. T. Edliott eventually beating Mr. B. S. Irwin by two votes. The handicaps for the X.Z. Tro'ttins Cup are due on Tuesday next. With such highclass horses enxaired, owners can usually gauge their handicap mark pretty well. The name of York A Whey has been selected by Mr. R. Haimon for his fwo-year gelding by Quin Abbey—Curearua, and Tintern Abbey for the fllly by Quin Abbey —Mignon. By common use the name of the filly Eerie Is generally given erroneously as Erie, and as such appears in -the nominations for the New Zealand <'up. Eerie is I>j- Nassau from Mountain Dream, so is somewhat appropriuately named. The two-year-old Pompey struck himself while working at recently, an.'] Jias been lightly blistered and turued out. This is had luck for Mr. Friedlander. for the son of I.uculhis is showing plenty of pace iv his essays on the track. Those who have a fancy for Bonnie Winkie in the X.Z. Cup would do well to he \s so backward as to leave little chance of his beins at his best by November. In well-informed circles he is regarded as a doubtful starter in the two mile race. YOUNGSTERS AT THK IBAHIUEK. At Ellerslie on Thursday morning the barrier was erected at the mile post to give trainers an opportunity to give their youngsters ed-ucation at the tapes. A dozen two-year-olds were lined up, those schooled being Li-bertas, f by Monofonn—Freedom mare; colt by Thurnham—'l'elt, Sleepy Sol, b g by Marble Arch—«olitudo: Charlady, f by Absurd—Lady D: Ka Aroha, f by Day Comet—Onelua: Kirimoa. f by Kllbroney— Gold Rain: l> c by St. Amans—Shower Gold; Tactician, b c "by Inicullus—Tact; «lr Pam. eh c by Panmure- Monday; g by Day Comet—'Monoliuel Ni-bliok. g liy Ijucnllus— Xecktie; and Treasllion. by Tressady—riopio. Some of the youngsters were decidedly green, and failed to jiunp oIT properly when the tapes lifted, but one or two, notably Übertas and Charlady, began" like old hands, the former in particular putting a lot of dash into her work.

J. O'Shea is to ride Admiral Codrington in the Marton Handicap next Saturday. The three-year-old nily by nay comet from Mignoif, which is a half-sister to the well-performed Tinohoro and for which Mr. tiynies paid 50 guineas for at auction, was recently put into work at Hasting?. The gelding Dead Sweet, which has been off the scene since competing at the Waipa Meeting last December, has resumed work again at EHerslie under the supervision of Mr. E. Pope. Tie cross-country horseman S. Walls went into hospital after the C.J.C. National Meeting to have his broken nose operated on. He Is about again and espects to. resume riding again immediately. The many friends of G. Warnoefc, owner of the pacer WoodvnJe, will be pleased to hear that he bas made a good expects* to return to his home to-uiorrow. Sunday. Wharepoa and Tiezant were schooled over four hurdles at Ellerslie on Thursday morning. Wharepoa made Che pace and jumped well until the final obstacle was reached, when be hit hard and turned a complete somersault. His rkier. J. Koaeli, escaiped injury, but the horse got a bit of a shaking. Bezant fenced slowly, but got round without mishap. The Australian horseman C. 3. Winjjrnve, has arrived in Auckland, and intends taking up his residence at Kilerslie. Wingrove has a record iv Australia <rf winning eleven races straight out of fourteen mounts. The newcomer can go to scale at 7st without wasting, and has only to show can possibly do. The nominations received for the minor events at the Avondale J.O. Spring Meeting are more than satisfactory, and the success of the fixture from the racing point of view Is assured. Mr. Coyle will declare the weights for the Grey Lynn Hurdles, Hack and Hunters' Steeplechase, Henderson Apprentice Handicap, and Swanson Hack Welter on Wednesday next, the 6th Inst. EEW ZEALAND CUP. THE ACCEPTANCES.. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The following is a list of the acceptances received for the New Zealand Cup (two

TURF TALK FROM THE SOUTH. CANTERBURY. CTIRISTCIiUivCH. Friday. With an acceptance of 37 in the New Zealand rnp, the C.J.r. has every reason to be well satisfied. The most notable defections are Connie Winkle. King's Trumpeter and Angelo, and doubtless the owners concerned have tasks in mind for each of that trio, which do not require such a searching preparation. Outside these three, nothing else of note has failed to survive the acceptance. I'luto and Vespucci are amongst the absentees, while Cupidon's name is Ntill in evidence, which suggests that Mr. K. J. Mason will follow his usual procedure and return to New Zealand after the Sydney Spring Meetinj. There is a tendency lot-ally to support Gloaming to defeat the Newcastle crack, Beauford, the first time they meet. The Welkin gelding Is apparently sprinting In quite Ills best form, .and It occasioned not a little amusement here when Che arrival of the c-a-ble concerning Mr. It. .T. Maeon's complaint of the Sydney pressmen over exalting Gloaming's track work, synchronised with that stating that Gloaming had registered a track record. Triermain Is showing good form on the track, and is quite capable of running out a good mile at the early spring meeting, lie was really the unly Chokebore juvenile hist season to show anything like decent form. lloyal Dispatch, a three-year-old gelding, by Clarcnceux-—Comely, was very lame after galloping at Iticiarton on Thursday.' He was not trained until late last season, Urgency. Prosperity, Blush, and the Nnasnu— Medley gelding are doing all that spring meetings. There have been rumours of big changes in the trotting sport in Christcburcb. and mutters have now reached finality. The .Metropolitan Club bas decided to proceed with its new conrse at Uiccarton, which will t)o ready iv nbont two yeflrs* time, &□<! which will be the last thing in up-to-date appointments. The (iantertjury Park Club has taken over the Aletropolitan Club's course at Addington in preference , to laying nut a huge sum to bring their present course at Sockburn up to date. It is suggested that arrangements will be made so t"hat the Canterbury Park Club will commence to race at Addington on January nost. and will be known as the Canterbury Trotting Club. This club was one threatened with extinction under the last commis).-lon's report, but with their new possession t-heir position will be strengthened enormously. The public will appreciate the change, but those trainers who are located at Sorkburn are natnrally not enthusiastic, and many other relnsraen regret the probable passing of the roomy mile track at Sockburn. Onyx, which has been spelling since the Autrust meeting, ihas just been taken up nnd is in good order t.o ctmimence pace ri good race on the first day, but like the mo-vi of the Lopan r'otnters is not a strong constitutioned mare. Gleaming, who has not rwed since the beginning of Ibe year is In steady work at New Brighton. He is a Trottins Cup candidate, but does not stay two miles well, and there is also some doubt of his standing a preparation. <? Two prominent pacers in Elite and Olive Huon nre looking and going well at New Brighton. ENGLISH lIACING. ST. LEGER FAVOURITE FAILS. IvOXDON". September 1.
