Insurrection i= to be brought in again, to =cc whether be will stand another preparation. Insurrection won the Wellington Clip ill 1512 V, and was subsequently purchased by Mr. W. It. Keniball, but lie has not return.-d his purchase money yet. Caze has been a most consistent performer this season, ror out of thirteen starts he has only been once out or a place, while ho has won on at least five occasions. Gaze is by All Black from Cazalie, which is no doubt by Gazelcy, the sire of (Jazique and others. !t-is reported that T. George, the Ellerslie trainer, will in future have charge or Merry Ann, a six-year-old mare by Merry Moment that was trained some time ago hy .1. T. Young. Croon Lane. Merry Ann was later sent to the Taranaki district, and this season has boon in the money. It'i- stated that Mr. Lan Duncan, who recently purchased the Elderslle stud at Oamai'u from Mr. J. R.

Cat- North ran second to Gold Jacket on each day or tho Whangarei meeting, and recently UOOgs was refused for him at auction.

If the going is good, will cause her some trouble, for he is fairly good over a short distance. Tarloton, it is slated, is partial to the Awapunt racecourse, and on his way back south ho was taken off at Palmerslon North, and Is being prepared for Trentham engagements at Awapuni. Tarloton lmpressorl with his third in the Summer Cup at Lllerslle, and it looks as though he may r\m more prominently before long.

A three-year-old filly, Mountain Jean, raced well at Manawatu and Marton. She finished second anrl third In her two starts at Awapiini and. going on tr. Marton. was third to niciio In the Trial Plate and won the .lunctlon Plate on the second day. She |s by Mountain Knight from jean Laddo, and Is only a three-year-old, so that she appears to be fairly promising. The death or the Hon. Oliver Samuel, ML..:., removes rrom the .New Zealand turr one or its must prominent supporters aud legislators. Tor many years he represented thn Taranaki Jockey ' Cluh on the Racing Conference, and his sound advice and wide knowledge or the turf made him a mo.-t valuable member or that body. In 1(101 he was one of the select committee appointed to revise and reconstruct the rules. Blonde, which won a double at the Watrarapa meeting. Is a well bred filly, being hy Kilhroney from Chakwana, which raced with success in the colours of Messrs. V. and F. Biddiforrl some seasons hack. Blonde does -. .1, appear to have been much r.f a sue-ess, despite her good lineage. She ran into a place as a two-year-old, and last year managed tn win one event, the Trial Stakes, al the Masterton Spring Meeting. Monoxide seems to be a good sort of a filly, anrl on present appearances it looks as though she will be rlillleiilt to dispoes r.r in much better company than she has yet rared in. At Riecarton In November she won the Llnwor.rl Handicap, and since then has annexed Tour events, while she has also been placed on other occasions, her most recent success being when she scored In the snorts Handicap on the second day of the southland meeting. Red Wink is a good sort of a horse, and If taken to Trentham he will make his presence fell. So far this season he has contested eleven races and has only been out of a place on a couple of occasions. At, the Summer Mooting of the Southland Racing Club he. won the big event, one mile and a-quarter, each day with 0.1 and fcs. respectively, and cut but the distance in 2.0 I-.". on the first day and a lll'tb of a second longer on the next day. He is In the Wellington Cup. but a mile and a-half might be too far for him. The Te Aroha Racing Club Is making exteii-ive improvements to its buildings. A contract has been let Tor additions to Hie steward-' stand, which comprise the enlarging ..r mc jockeys' room, a new room ror the judicial committee, stewards' dining room, anrl increased accommodation lor the secretary nnd his stair.

Nocturne is engaged at the Bay or Islands meeting, and this mare may perform better than .-he has yet done this season. Out of I'oui- starts she has been placed on three occasions. Ilosldos being entered for the Cub she is in two other events, both seven rurlongs, and U at ber best should give tier supporters a good run fur their money. The Banker appeared to be one of the most promising three-year-olds early in the season alter he had won an event at the >ortl) Taranaki Hunt club's meeting. However, though placed ..n a couple or occasions since. It wa- not until he won the Stratford Cup that he again saluted the judge. Probably he will be seen lo the fore again ore long. I ioinius, a two-year-old gelding by I.tienlius—llollonois. owned by- Mr. C. Elgar, appears lo be a pretty useful sort. After winning the Nursery Handicap at Wondviile he won a similar event at the Manawatu meeting anrl, going on tn ton, scored In the Juvenile Handicap. He certainly Is a youngster to be reckoned with in two-year-old events.

It is said that Kaiti has not got over the kirk he received rrom The Thorn In the Wellesley Slakes In the spring, and that accounted for his railure to get into the money at Palmerston North. His connection?, however, are confident that he will rnme right berore long. Kaiti is credited with being above the average, and he has already a win to his credit. Master Sandstone raced well last season, winning seven events and being placed on the other six occasions on whirh he ran. This season ho won the Plying I Handicap at Mastorton. the Telegraph I Handicap at Marton. and was placed tn | another event, lie is among those nominated for the Wellington meeting, and will be hard to dispose or If at hla best.

NOTES FROM CANTERBURY. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star."') CHRI3TOHIR.CH, Tuesday. Mr. It. C. Gillies, who ror many years was president or the Kurow Jockey Club and of the Oamaru Jockey Club, died last week in South Canterbury. Mr. Gillies was a keen sportsman, and bred and raced Ueiistilne, DellrocK, Mortham, and Pickaninny. Sir Ceo Clifford's team for Wellington will comprise Top Score, Rivalry, Rich Prize, (iamebag, and Armchair. They leave rot ttiii North on Saturday. G. Murray Aynsiey will also go north on Saturday night Willi Limelight,, which looks well alter her trip to Ellerslie. F. \V. Ellis left Invereargill this morning with Listening Post and Bugle iN'ote. Both geldings are looked upon In the. South as having bright prospects for the Wellington R.C. Summer Meeting. Count flavour, although having made a quick recovery rrom the mishap which befell him on the way home from Auckland, will not be a runner at Wellington. His next outing will probably be at the Dunedln J.C. Autumn Meeting. It Is dellnltely stated that Morland will not compete at the forthcoming luture at Trentham. The Finland gelding has not yet thrown oIT the lameness which made its appearance at the Dunedln meeting. IL W. King is undecided as to whether he will take Pilllewlnkie to Trentham. The Winkle gelding is uot engaged on the first day, and. If taken north, his departure will probably be delayed till next week. AIT.T a six ii ths' spell Some Kid has rejoined T. 11. c.illetfs team. The liirkentie.ad gelding is very big, and will lake some time to line down. Barn Owl Is another which has rejoined the active ranks, and the Cutis Brothers should have her ready tor late autumn meetings. Work at lUccarton this morning was useful, but after th" continuous rain throughout yesterday good times were not in evidence. Pilllewlnkie worked nicely over a mile. Rich Prize and Gamebag covered live furlongs in 1.5 2-5, a task which was equalled by Top Score and Armchair. Rivalry's six furlongs in 1.17 <i-5 was a pleasing: gallop. she had Hungry lull as a mate over ihe last lew furlongs. Limelight, as usual, moved ITeeiy. covering: a mile in 1.17. Though Red Wink defeated Lncinette comfortably over ii similar distance, and with a mate to bring him home over the last hall' mile, he did not please greatly, taking t.50 2-5 to get through his work. Gyrene and Victory Bond lr-rt half a rnlle behind In 52 2-f.s. carpentler finished ahead of Relic and Jubilant at tho end of seven furlongs in i.:n, and Barmaid had an advantage over Santist In a slx-furlong spin in 1.19.
