I ] Glen canny was noticed working on the tracks at headquarters Yesterday. ( Mamahera. which is in T. George's \ stable, is having a spell at present. f Prtmavera is the name under which the ' yuui Abbey—Waiomi illlv in J. Lambess' i stables will do her racing I , A The Nassau—Sweet Alice filly In F Dnwling's stable is furnishing nicely, and looks a most promising sort. ' < E. Mansnn will be riding at the Blenheim ! meeting this week, and among- his mounts will be some of Mr. J.J. CorryV horses. Young Thurnham i and King i Pellicule (.Nixon) cleared six hurdles at , Olerslie yesterday morning, King l'ellicule ] showing to most advantage. Dazzling- Light, the full sister to Razzle t Dazzle, was started In the .Nursery Haiidi- i cap at the Hastings meeting on Friday, 1 but she was uever prominent. i W. Keepa. who used to be associated with J. Williamson's stable, is now with \V. Patterson, and will do riding over rences lor j that trainer during the winter. Explorer, with Henderson in the saddle, ] acted as schoolmaster to Te Tain (Walls; ' over the pony hurdles at Ellerslie on Monday morning. To Tahi jumped prumis- . ingly. ; Pittsworth ran well In the Autumn J Steeplechase at the A.R.C. meeting, and he : appears to have done well in the interval. He should show up before the winter racing Is concluded. Archie (Rutherford' was schooled over : hurdles at Ellerslie yesterday morning, while Just Quietly was also given a lesson by the same jockey, and showed some apti- ' tude for the game. Glenotus (E. Rael, which appears among the nominations for the Great Northern steeplechase, went over the fences on the Hat at Ellerslie yesterday morning-, and gave a good exhibition of jumping. Diamond Ring, which ran second to Theic at Hasting-s on Friday, may prove hard to beat during winter racing. Sbe is a Half sister to Parisian Diamond, and has been placed on several occasions this season. Finmack (Cotter) gave a good dlspay over two pony and Tour ordinary hurdles at Ellerslte yesterday morning. Royal Fame (Stanway) and Scottish Knijrht (Mills) also gave a pleasing exhibition over four hurdles. Master Doon is to be given a spell Tor about a month. He has been a very honest juvenile since be commenced racing, and it is hoped that his owner, Mr. D. Moraghan, will meet with better success with the son of Lucullus next season. Gold Plane (Henderson) and Trossor (E. Rae) were put over hurdles at Ellerslie on j Monday, while yesterday morning Gold Plane (Armstrong) and Tressor, with Opaloid (Cotter) as a companion, were given another schooling task. The Potoa-High Jinks filly, the sister to Hipo. which is in E. Pope's stable, ts rurnishing into a nice two-year-old. She has grown considerably or late and ir looks go for anything she was a cheap purchase at 20 guineas at Dr. Ring's sale. Kever Despair (W. Rowe) and Rustler (Keepa) jumped a few fences at Ellerslio yesterday morning. Bustler got in too I close to" the sod wall, and unseated his rider, but, arter being remounted, jumped the double and the stene wall well. Sunart, which won the Hawke's Bay Cup on Friday, was favourite Tor the event. He only arrived at Hastings from the South on the'morning or the race, as did First Salute which ran second. In the circumstances their performances were most meritorious. Woden, which was ravourite for the hurdles on the first day or the Hawke's Bay meeting- last Friday, tired during the last bit He landed over the last fence just ahead or Klllard and Antler, but, vigorously ridden, Antler got him in the last llfty yards, and scored by a head. The yearling full-brother to Loyal Irish, by Ab=urd —Molra Machree, in J. Buchanan's stable, is growing-, into a nice two-year-old, and should be useful early next season. He is remarkably like his elder relative, being . chestnut in colour with white markings. I On the track he gives promise or developing speed. Plimmerton, which lined up for the Nursery Handicap at Hastings on Friday, was verY unruly in his preliminary, bolting around the track once. He rurther misbehaved himself at the barrier, for when straightened up he turned around and bolted back to the paddock, taking no part in the event. Mustard Pot. which it was intended to =end home to Christchurch with Zaragoza this week proved to be in a very bad way on Sunday, and had to receive rurther veterinary attention. He has since shown great improvement, though it will be some time yet berore he can be moved. The pair are at present in charge or H. Jury, at Ellerslie. At a meeting or the committee or the Taranaki Jockey Club last week it was ; unanimously decided that the Taranaki , stakes should be continued, and that ttie race be included in the programme of the February meeting as usual and Willi the same conditions a≤ previously. It was rurther decided to circularise all owners and trainers soliciting Their support lor this race. Mireusonta. no doubt owing to the success or he • stable companion, Sunart. in the Hawke's Bay Cup. was made ravourite Tor he Po?angahau Handicap at the Hawke's nay meeting- on Friday, but was never Drornmlnt Civilform was Ilrst out, and the race proved a good thing ror him for he was never healed, and stalling off a challenge by Barrier over the last half fur-, font won by a length. Barrier scored By on the second day of the meeting. Falladeen, which is a rull brother to' Prince' Ferouz by Feramorz—Cheloma, both or which Were imported to'this country, won the Nursery Handicap at Hastings on Friday In Vood style though it seems, according to Southern reports, that ir the favourite ! ? ri-hna had not got hemmed in near the msh she would have caused Falladeen ininp trouble Falladeen got home by two lengths rrom crista*, with Coot a similar distance away thirty The loss or the stallion King John is not the Aniv ill-luck experienced by Mr. T.

Carbine Plate, Tainaki Steeplechase, Orakei Hurdles, Campbell Hurdles. Visitors' Handicap, and Fitzroy Handicap. THE HAWKE'S BAT STAKES. The following account or the Hawke's Bay Stakes is taken rrom Sir Lancelot's notes: "OT the hall' rlozen runners in the I Hawke's Bay Stakes more than half of the pool was recorded against Glentruin's number. King's Folly and Lady Joyce were second and third favourites respectively. When the order to go was given Simonette showed the way I'rom the favourite on the rails, King's Folly third, and Peneus Tourth. Arter traversing a Turlong, King's Folly [ shot to the rront. and. with a rour-length lead or Peneus. held command to the home bend, Glentruin at this stage being third. Well in the straight line Tor the deciding point. King's Folly gave way to Peneus and the ravourite, and at the distance McCarten was at the chestnut mare with all the power and ability that he could use, and it appeared at this point as ir she would go under, but the last 50 yards saw her assert herseir, and, finishing in a game, determined manner, she had enough left to reach the line a long neck in advance or Peneus who was a couple or lengths to the good or King's Folly, with another two-vear-old in Lady Joyce fourth. Glentruin s i time 1 mm iMsec, was a second to leeI ward of the time record or the event, which IS- CO-jOlntly held by Hymestra. The Hawk, and Gloaming, who, when they prevailed, carved out the six and a hair Turlongs in 1.20". WANGANUI STEEPLECHASE COURSE. The committee or the Wanganui Jockey Club have decided to alter the steeplechase course and the cross-country events will in ruture be run on the course proper instead of a number or jumps being on number one training track, as has been the case ror many years.. The old course, which meant changing rrom one track to another, was confusing to the riders, but the alteration will remedy that, as the i hordes Will stick to Hie course proper all the way The change will not make any difference as rar as the number or jumps are concerned there will be nineteen obstacles to negotiate in the big steeplechase, as in the past, but the exact dtsI tanceA-three miles—will be run. One I great advantage i≤ that number one trainI ing track—which rormerly had to be closed Tor several days prior to the meetIng owing to the jumps having to be erected—win now be available for trainers right up to the day or the meeting. Trainers will appreciate this, as in the past all the work had to be done lor the last week or «o on number two track or the Plough, and in wet weather this made it very anil - cult to get in the work required. Altogether the alteration appears to be a wise move, the only wonder is that it was not decided upon years ago. ■ TURF NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") CIirUSTCHURCH, Tuesday. The continued spell or wet weather has conllned trainers at Kiccariou to galloping their charges on the sand track. Tarleton was eased ofT after the autumn meeting when he was a double winner.
