The public, for the most part, were well nn the spot in their selections at the onunake meeting, for live Hist vavountes and two seconds scored, the otiier event b"ing- won by Awake, which was ruurth lancy. r Reed rode six winners at the Napier Park meeting and three at opunake, which makes his total 51) lor the current season This is twelve more than C. Emersou and M. McCarten, who dead-heated for' first place last season, piloted. Mark Time, it is stated, which has been off the scene for some time, met with a mishap a Tew days ago and could not he accepted Tor at the Rangitikel meeting Mr. J. B. GaisTord is having no luck Witt this horse since he won the Manawatu Cup last season. Reremoana is rairly smart over a short course and he again showed his ability when he won the St. Patrick's Handicap at Opunake on Tuesday. Rational and Pouma were in charge at the entrance to the straight, hut Reremoana then put in his claim and scored comfortably by a couple or lengths. An inquiry was held at Napier last Saturday into interference suffered by \V_arlti in the concluding- event and it •was found that both Idanoe and hoau Ko_- had crossed Whariti. Their riders, 11. .Martin and A. Grilllth, were suspended lor fourteen days. Taward, a two-year-old by Bisog-ne— Coronet mare, appears to have a fair dash or pace, for he won the Mald_n Plate, seven furlongs, at Opunake, comfortably by six lengths in 1.30. He is owned and trained by W. Pine, and had been placed on a couple of occasions previously. Solferange appears to be a fair sort. He Is a three-year-old gelding by Solferino —Angele, and has started on a dozen occasions this season, winning three events and being placed on a similar number of occasions. He was started twice at the Opunake meeting, being second to QulllUre and winning the concluding event, tbe Farewell Handicap. It Is stated that Malatour ran a good raco in the McVay Memorial at Napier Part and appeared to be a likely winner at the home turn. He, however, failed to stay on over the last bit and nnished tflird. Malatour was paying a big price to win. He is a full brother to Te Kara ana a hair brother to Queen March. The yearling hair brother to Inrerno by Martian—Ayah, purchased by Mr. E. Riddirord, has been causing his trainer some trouble. He did not make a good recovery from an operation, but be has taken a turn for the better recently and hopes are entertained that be will soon be aU ri&ht again. The Banker has struct form since uiristmas, and, in winning the Opunake wp with 8.2, he is sure to have some mends j n h. is Wellington engagements Itll el£ - Tbe Banker is only a threew_" oW '.and looks to have a good Tuture Tr_n,t blm - In the st - Le ? er Stakes at iremnam He should give a good account or himself. i H? 10 -?

A filly roal by Archery rrom Equitas, clam of Oratress and Murihaupo, died recently. Pittsworth, No Surrender, Freshman and Cool Stimulants have resumed work at Ellcr-lie after having- a spell. It is stated that F. Davis will take Son o'Mine, Far North, Lucius and ."\eucleus to the Trcntham meeting-. M. J. Canoli is to leave Plankton tomorrow evening lur TreiUham with .Muscari, Abbey Hell, Currajrlirnore and King Merv, who have at the Wellington Racing clubs autumn meeting-. Kamehameha (S. Henderson's and Doric (M-Oii) went over six hurdles at Ellerslle on Thursday morning, Hie former jumping well. It is stated that in consequence of Mr. T. 11. Lowry retiring his horses rrom active commission, G. Jones is severing his connection with the stable. rilliewinkie and Many Kittle arc to race at Trcntham. The rormer, if at his best, should have something to sas* in the decim<ju uf the Trcntham Ovid Cup. Piquant is stated to bo galloping brilliantly at Trenthura and she will have some support in her engagements at Trcntham next week. Motley and Deluge are reported to have been working wen at Wanganui. ir at their best at Trcntham next week, they should be hard to dispose or. According to reports from the Wairarapa Pupgestion has been getting through his work nicely and will be in good condition Hi take his place in the field m the Thompson Handicap ue.\t week. Te Kara and Ngarara were shipped to Sydney by the Ulimaroa yesterday. They were accompanied by their trainer J. Paul and J. O'Shea. who is to ride Te Kara in his engagements on the other side. It is stated that Glantkiller has been SUlTering rrom the etTeets or the hard tracks and that he has been causing his owner some anxiety. When right, Giantkiller takes some beating. national is stated to have had every chance at Opunakc. but round it impossible to concede a stone to Reremoana. which may have beaten him at level weip-lus. Nevertheless, Rational ran a good race. Arcording to '-The Squire."' Mr. P. J. Barry states that Autommc has improved with his spell and is growing into a line stamp of thoroughbred. It is his owner s intention to have Him prepared Tor spring engagements. The Lamb never, appeared to get thoroughly into his stride at Opunake, according to Southern reports, and he was one ol' the big disappointments or the rare. The Lamb showed great promise when he was racing at the last Wanganui meeting. The Great Northern Champagne Stakes. Tor which rorreits were declared last night, contains material for a good rare, hut if Lady Cavendish is brought north ravouritisin will probably be divided between her and Merry Damon. Awake did not race straight at his hurdles at Opunake. but he had too much pace Tor the others, according to a Southern writer. He was pulling hard all the time, and when asked to go up to the leader, Pourihoiho, did so v« cy quickly and llnally walked in. Awake was making his debut over hurdles and. as lie was Tairly useTul on the nat and can jump should do well in this department or the game. When nominations were received for the Canterbury Jockey Club's Great Easter and Autumn Handicaps the name or Civility appeared in the list ror the Great Autumn. The entry was made by telegram, but when the letter connrming it was received rrom H. L. Russell, it was evident he intended entering his filly [or the Great Easter. On request the original telegram was looked up and it was round that the message had been mutilated in transmission, and Civility was correctly nominated ror the Great Easter, and not for the Great Autumn Handicap. Civility will, thererore, start in the Great Easter. TURF TALE FROM THE SOUTH. (By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Deep Drive has been sent to the West Coast, where she wiU in future be trained. F. O'Connor, who ror some time has been riding over country in Otago and Southland, has joined forces with F. H. Gillett at Riccarton, and will be on Charlatan when he opens his winter campaign. Royal Head, the two-year-old brother to Royal Stag and Moorfowl, was lame after working on Thursday, and is not likely to be seen out again this season. Gloaming will leave for Trentham tomorrow, but as yet nothing is definitely settled as to what his companion will be on the trip. Moorland and Royal Star will go north at the same time. Sir George Clifford's team lor the Wellington Racing Club's Autumn Meeting, comprising Retrospect, Centrepiece, Barn Owl, and Rich Prize, will go north on Monday night, in charge or H. Cutts. Pilliewinkie and Many Kittle will journey to Wellington on Tuesday, in charge or their trainer, R. W. King. The Riccarton contingent did not rare too well at Waimate yesterday, but apparently it was only stay-at-home betters who suffered, ror better rancied candidates, on the totalisator showing, from Southern stables, won the majority or events. C. Emerson bad a good innings at Waimate, and in five rides piloted three winners, was second once, and third once. Raconteur, winner or thp Studholme Hurdles, at Waimate. is trained by R. C N. Reed, who now distributes his riding amongst gallopers and trotters, and also has one or two ror each branch or the ■ equine sport under his care. Cumbrae has been brought home rrom Waimate, and will therefore decline her engagements at Oamaru. C v Eastwood met with a painrul accident while riding Rockrellow in his preliminary ror the Waitangi Hack Handicap. A\hen pulling up he collided with another horse, and Eastwood's leg was injured necessitating his removal to hospital toTHE THAMES MEETING. HANDICAPS DECLARED.
