I—Heading- J.C Over fifty brood mares are on a visit to Tea Tray and Romeo this season. ;• Pearl U' Mont andißridgie are to visitRomeo; also the Absurd marc Jaffna. Penem goes- to Tea Tray. Muraahi, which dead-neated with Te Kara in the last Auckland Cup, is in steady work at Hawera under R. Brougn. Day Guard, which has been brought from the Waikato ror the Avondale meeting, , may probably remain at Ellcrslle. S. Reid has taken Merit, the Imported j English fllly, owned by Mr. V. Rlddirord, | in hand again. She is being restricted to 1 easy pacing at Trentham. | j Recent foaling.s announced in Auckland ; are: Takahau, a Illly to Tea Tray; Miraculous, a colt to Romeo; Sanacre, a filly to Tea Tray. Suggestion is again in work at Tau- i berenlkau, and may be seen out during the spring. Refrigeration also forms one of J. Farmer's team and she is fairly smart, i Kilbird, which has been having a spell. ! has brightened up considerably, and. according to reports rrom Napier there i Is every chance of him coming back to bis best rorm in the near future. ' General Pryde, which Is engaged a: Avondale, got through most of his preparation away from Ellerslle, but since he has returned to Ellerslie has shown that he still possesses some pacePrincess Ronnie is not engaged at Avondale to-day, but will probably take her place In a hack neld on Monday. On the strength of her good showing on the tracks at Ellerslie she will have some I friends. . | Waimai, the hero or many a great per- 1 rormance over the steeplechase country, which included a Grand National success in 1916, is spending bis declining, years on his owner's place at Waimai, some miles inland from Ngaruawahla.' . The old ' rellow is carrying his years lightly. . Cawnpore was. taken to Sydney some months ago in order to. get the benent or the rood tracks ' at Randwlck. He was ' not started there, but since his return to Ellerslie has been kept in steady work. J He ran a good half-mile' during the week. Evidently the two--year-6id. Motion, which' was taken to ..Waiuraimi In company with subjection, did not please her •trainer by .her- showing in theiDebutante j Stakes, .for.' she was- 'not -brought north j to Avondale.' She is by Nassau—Quota- j tion, tnd was sent back to the Wairarapa after the Wanganui meeting... Master Black, which showed.some pacn in the early stages or a race at. Wanganul. was niade favourite for both the events he started in at Dannevirke on Wednesday, but he never looked like a winner in his nrst outing , , and finished two lengths behind the second horse 111 the other event..Lady Joyce, which showed good form at the Marton meeting when she commenced her three-year-old career, was not long in getting on the winning list, ror she captured the Tahoralte Hack WeV ter at Dannevirke on Wednesday with 8.10 in tho saddle. Lady Joyce and Waetea were in front for about the last five fur longs, and they finished in that order. Waetea is also running consistently, Tussore, which formed one of the late 1 A. oiuver's team it Palmerston Novtn, 1 won a double .at the Dannevirke meeting, i and Is evidently going to be useful this I season. The son of Nassau - was tnade' a hot favourite on each occasion and j won comrortably. In Tact, in his second outing It-is stated tbat he was not going more than three-quarter pace. Mr. J. c. Gleeson Intended to send I Maria . of Hereford to Tea Tray but ■ changed his mind, and yesterday shipped ' her to Sydney by the Manuka, to be mated 1 with Valais, the stro or Heroic, whichbeat Gloaming last Saturday. She -will I also be stinted to ValaU nest season. Two 1 ponies, one by Nigimvatch, and the other byel'oij-ilamon, were also sent over, Tanadees. wliicli won at Marton. was thought to be a good thing at Dannevirke, and was supported accordingly, but nnished well back in fourth position. He Is one of the lightly weighted division or the New Zealand cup and is credited with-being a good stayer. His performance at Dannevirke, however, does not enhance bis prospects ror the big two-mile event at Riccarton, but he may improve'- In the interim. . Kuraire, a New Zealand Cup candidate, is.in good form just now, and be won the Jfeairle Memorial Handicap at Dannevirke on Wednesday in good style, tbough the Held was not a very strong one. Nukumai broke away at the entrance to the straight, but half-way down was tackled by Kilfalre, which won by a length. Kliraire is owned by W. R. Kembail. Gloaming Is to contest the-lliu Stakes at Rosebill this arternoon. The race is over a mile at welght-ror-age, and Gloaming won it as a rour-year-old when It was called the Spring Stakes. Two years ago he beat Beauford In this event, the latter having finished in front or him just previously in the Chelmsford Stakes. Gloaming has 9.0, an dotber New Zealand-owned or bred horses in th,e race are: The Monk 9.0. Ballymena 8.11. Father's Voice 7.12, Bonaparte 7.12, and Bosh 6.13. Royal Diadem gave promise or being above the ordinary when he won tho Midsummer Handicap (ror two-year.olds) at I the last A.R.C. Summer Meeting, beating i Tanadees, Qulnctte, Master Doon, ana others. However, the best he could do arterwards was to run third to Tuabine and Father's Voice at the Napier Park Summer Meeting. He was started in the Ruahine Welter at Dannevirke on Wednesday, and arter sbo'wing up ror a while faded out and unisbed last. Merry Day is a good sort when properly, right, and a couple or seasons ago nnished second in the Wellington Cup to Rapine, 1 and on the following day won the Wei- I llngton Racine* Club Handicap. Last season I she won the Autumn Handicap at Masterton, and . the - Eastor. Handicap at the Wairarapa meeting. Merry Day was produced at Daitnevirkß. during the week and contested the Neagle Memorial. She had i to cover a lot of extra ground, but flni ■ishert rast in., third place. On the next ■■ day she wpn the HaKaiami Handicap at! the Hunt Club meeting. More should' be | beard' of her. There-was a peculiar happening in the ! Tiratu.: Trial-Stakes at Dannevirke on j Wednesday. In an" exciting Jlnlsh between Minstret Boy and Birthmark, C. Robinson. the rider or the latter, was seen to stand up in the stirrups "when a rew yards rrom j the past, apparently thinking the race was over and then started to ride again, . his mount being beaten by a short bead. Kauaka wa-i third, with the ravourite close up, and still tn fourth position. The rest were strung; out. , The stipendiary stewards, Messrs McMabon and Wilson, held an inquiry Into Ttoblnson's riding, when I it transpired that Ills am came adrirt, end; he had ridden■'nfs- mount ' down titei strairht with jt over bis eyes, and thought j he hart-Passed the post when he started J 10' ihill mount up. +Ie -was fined si i< Tor 'the; 1 disarrangement or his lieartpiecc. and but for this the positions of the first '. two horses migjtu have-been, reversed,' -1

The proposed trip to Australis" with Red Cent has been abandoned. Merry Roe lias, foaled a colt, and Hyades ana Whitrord Bell fillies to Catmint. It has been decided to give Tlnokaha a spell for five or six weeks. The Qoln Abbey gelding failed to race up to expectations at Wanganui, and that influenced his owner to give him a holiday. Pentagram, which was to be sent to Australia some months ago, but met with injuries aud was unable to proceed, has quite recovered, nnd is now back at Ellerslle. King's Folly is stated to have been working satisfactorily at Hastings, and will be in goon reitle 10 contest the Uawke's Bay Guineas. Razzle Dazzle, which is in the same stable, won the event last year. Duo's withdrawal from his immediate engagements is reported to have been caused ihrough him striking himself while galloping, it was a similar mishap which caused him to ror.eit his engagement at tho -hristchurch Hunt Club's meeting. The Dunedin Jockey Club's Spring Meeting haa attracted good entries. The Mosg-jcl Handicap, one mile and a-quarter, includes Bonnie. Winkie, Boadicca. Bal* dowa, Dame Stra'aiaec, Dominant, Kilfane. Limelight, Loiighrea, Master Sandstone, Mantua, Mountain Lion, Prince Kei-ouz, Palestrlna, Printcmps, Tarleton, Tiff. Winning Hit, Wapplng and Zero Hour. The chronometer timing clock ordered by the .Wellington Racing- Club : rrom Messrs,. T. Gaunt and Co., of: Melbourne. has arrived, and Is now being set up.' It is a beautiful spcclmon of the watchmaker's art, and' the cabinet work in which it is mounted is also very. flne. Altogether the clock and its mountings stands about eight or nine feet high by about rom- feet wide, it will be set-up in the jockey's weighing room, and will race towards the new public stand, being visible to the general public through' a largo window, it will be in readiness for the spring meeting next month. Tbe mechanism is set in motion by electricity by the starter's button, and the clock is stopped by the official timekeeper when the horses reach the post. As In Australia, the fractions of seconds are recorded in quarters and halves. The sleamer Rotorua, which arrived in Wellington on Wednesday rrom London, had several valuable racehorses aboard. Four of theso were bought by, Mr. Eric Riddirord. Two others sro going to Mr. John Donald's breeding establishment at ■ Wanganui, while the seventh Is being sent out by the Leybourne Stud, rrom West Mailing, Kent. Mr. A. Parker has been in England to make the selections for Mr. Donald. Cbier Ruler, tbe horse bought by Mr. Parker ror Mr. Donald's Westmcre -stud. Is a Tour-year-old by The Tetrarch rrom lest (dam of the Derby winner Humorist). Chler Ruler, which was never raced, is a fine, upstanding chestnut horse, that can be viewed as a line specimen of the thoroughbred ramlly (says "Early Bird"). For Mr. Donald, too, Mr. Parker brings but a well-bred chestnut mare, Torligne, by Torlolse—Radium Lady, Radiant Lady is by. Radium, and Radium, was by Bend Or, so that Torligne traces to a great ramiiy. Tiitr Leybourne stud is sending out a young rour-yoar-old mire called White Tulip, whose sire was White Magic, and whose dam was Tullibodv, which was by Tulllbarrtinc. The Leybournc Stud authorities intended sending out three more mares from Ireland. but owing lo the lack or shipping space, and owing to the ellmculty or getting the animals over in time ror the Ttotoma. they are remaining behind for- i future consignment. .-, ' ./ During the week in the House or .Representatives, Mr. Langstono, member for Walmarino,- asked the Minister or internal Affairs ir he was aware that Use New Zealand Racing Conference was prohibiting rorty youths rrom obtaining employment In any racing stable in the Dominion; and whether he would see that the powers of the Racing Conrerence were cm-tailed in this direction. Mr. Langstone added that horseowners and trainers were warned under penalty not to employ th?se boys. The boys had lieen- black .listed, and thel? names were published weekly in a oar-taln paper. "The only wrong these youths had done." he said. "Is that they lert .their previous employer without notice." The Hon. R. F. Pollard (Minister or internal Affairs) replied that the list rercrred to by the honourable member had been perused. No complaint or any description had reached the Department or Internal Affairs rrom any or the youths named in the list. The Government did not interfere with the Internal management or racing unless good grounds were advanced ror such action. THE AVONDALE GUINEAS. The Avondale Guineas will be run on Monday, and a good Held Is engaged. Subjection raced well at Wanganui and showed plenty or pace in the Eclipse stakes ror about seven rnrlonics. He finished just outside a place. The racing should shave Improved him. The rorm shown by Son o' Mine. Master Doon. Voltore, Tuahfno, and Daiiling.
