Black Admiral, which downed a hot favourite in the Selwyn Handicap at Addington, Is a three-quarter brother to the useful pair Dalnahine and Dalmeny. Black Admiral is trained by M. n. Edwards, and last season started a dozen times for one win.

Once more the Aucklander Hypo failed to see out a solid two miles. The son or Ohoal started at a great price in the August Handicap, and was in the picture till the last three rurlongs. were entered upon, when lie began to stop, and could not go with either Logan Lou or Loganwood. . •

Great- Bingen was responsible for a fine f.erformance when he ran third in the nternational Handicap. On a track that was not fast he showed a wonderful burst or speed, and got to within two lengths or the -winner, Partner. The', latter went 3.15 1-5, and, as Great Bingen was giving him 36yds start, tlie -son of,' Nelson Bingen registered a brilliant • performance, and proved what a speed merchant he is.

Billy Sea, the •favourite in the August Handicap, had the" bad luck to have his chance ruined tliroiigh.no fault or his own. lle_steppcd off the mark v-•;■... but when the Held reached the stand ti.e ;;rst time Away tried to jump an liuupinary water patch and interfered wilh Hie ravourite, which reil. Another well backed candidate in Gienelg was pulled up a little further on with a damaged sulky.

Herbllwyn, the square-galted trotter by kelson Bingen—Miss Spear, was a couple of seasons ago boomed as being one or the most promising young ■ horses in the Dominion. However, he railed to race anywhere near what was expected of him, and last season lie ran in eight races for as many clereats. This week -he opened liis seven-year-olij account' more promisingly, as he beat all but Burnic in the introductory Handicap at Addlngton.

Logan Lou, the. winner of the August Handicap from "Oyds behind; is an aged mare trained by it. Withers. She is by Logan Pointer —Galinda Lou, arid on three occasions last season she ilgured in the money, but only one win'was-credited to her. this being in the Ileuilicote Handicap twidve months ago at Addlngton, when she started favourite and beat.a useful Held, going, the two miles in ,4.30, or 2 3-5s faster lhait she went on Tuesday or this week.

The defeat of Taurckareka in the Queen Mary Handicap was unexpectedly backers, who put their money down so solidly that the now five-year-old son of Cathedral Chimes started at odds-on. He ran a great race with Prince Pointer, the pair clearing right out from the Held, and in a stirring finish Prince Pointer won by hall - , a length. Taurekareka is voted oh all sides to be a pacer likely to reach the best company, and it was no mean performance -for Prince rointer to give him i i»2S 8 n d < a . be " ti J?;- Pr ince Pointer is by wnfSft P ° int , er —Princes» Sherwood, and P™ ,n dup last season with a third, • second, and a win in In* last three start*
