Cold Rain, an Avondale Guineas candidate, is looking greatly improved since lie won at the Pakurange meeting. He has Been given solid work since Chen, and as Bugle >'ote win probably not start in the Guineas, n. s. Bagby may have the mount. A. J. McFllnn. who was ridlnp work at ptaki during the week, states that Amytnas Is still on the. lend, and has not as yet been asked to do any serious work. Thftre arc doubts as to whether Hie gelding will I stand up to a solirl preparation. Attractive, tbe winner or the Tri3l Plate at- the Marton meeting, is a nice colt, and the way he finished suggests that more should be heard or him. He is by Absurd — rlnery, and last season, as a two-year-old contested half a dozen events, being placed second on one occasion. _ Mingl. 3 ft cr running tntrrt in the Hack i Steeplechase at the Marton meeting, im- I proved upon that showing by aivounting j for the RangitikPi Hunt Club steepleriiase. : He led rrom start to Mulsh, and on the Ilrst day's performance he returned his supporters a good price.

Awapunl track watchers have, a good word for the Joculator—Ermine Illly in A • Oliver's stables. She Is owned by Mr. .1. ; Coring Johnston, and is being got ready i lor the early two-year-old events. ! Silver Peak has quite recovered from ! the slight mishap that occurred lo her last , week.

The reason of the withdrawal of Mr. W. . ' Kemnall's two-year-olds rrom the Avondale ' t Stakes was on account or their not being- ! > able to <tn sufTlcient work o:i account of i the. wet tracks.

Last year Royal Box was thought to be the elect or this stable, but he IlnI lshed well back, while .Scion, in the same ! colours, was the winner. Owing to the. sandy nature, of the soil at Foxton trainers nre more fortunate than in ■ other centres, as they are able to keep I horses entrusted to (heir care going- all the ! 1 ! winter. F. J. Carmont has a strong- team | ■ in work, among- them being- Miss Rene, i 1 nemos. Isinglass, Helen Rurus, Kyla and Bonny Marion. j r.lentrilln Is still being- confined to easy ! tasks at Rlo-arlou.

Tim pony,trainers and Jockej'S' strlKc in Sydney i* still unseitled. but a number of trainers and JocKoys have acceded ITom the ranks (says "Touchstone." in the "Australasian"'l. The only strike or the Kind that I can remember beliijr entirely sucr.>-- =rm naa one ;hnt took place nearly .'ls years a(fo, and was a very short-lived si. ~i> vi Hut. in the eisjliUPs trie old Ifiirltng-ham racecourse, which was situnied In th.n Bng-hton district, earned a lot or money ror the proprietor or lessee. Mr. W. C. Cullen. It was a small course, with a track of about four and a-hair rurlong-s around. The racing-—horses and ponies— was under V.n.C. rules, but ihe ea.sy-?olni? honorary stewards winked at practices which would not be tolerated for a moment nowadays. On one occasion there were four or five starters in a pony race. HiTcuies, a hard puller, led down the rar side to the home turn, with his rider sliciutiiiß- to the others to "come on." But the whole bunch had "not to-day , - orders, so. instead of coming- on, one of the jockeys gave IWcuies a slasli over the rump with his whip that made him pull all the harder. At the opposile side of the home turn there was a rorner hurdled on". The smart boy who rode Hercules noticed that one or the hurdles had been displaced, so, taking- a desperate chance, he went siralg-ht ahead instead or making- the bend. :He pot throug-h the grap sarely, and pulled I up. Every one or tile others followed him. and there they were all pounded; Several or the jockeys made a pretence or trying- to return to the track, but they were all still In the "pound" when one or the stewards pulled away several hurdles, and ordered them back to the enclosure. The stewards held an inqulrv, but, as the disqualification or live ponies and their took tne easier course of declaring- it "no lace, all bets o!f," and everybody vas satisiled.
