Rokkjer, who may l)e across to Auckland for Hie Otahuhu meeting, appears to have a useful pacer in Brown. Ribbon, which lias won twice for him recently in Sydney. However, the opposition was very weak, and Rokkjer had to take a short price about his representative. Stroller, the full-brother to Don Wild, which came to the Dominion a couple of seasons ago, but which has been a big lisapjiointment, is reported to be looking better than ever. Kiddle lias been unlucky with the frelding;, but perhaps if he can got him right the horse will reward him for the t rouble gone to. Tlio defeat in the Duiiedin L'up yesterday of Nelson Derby put an end 1o Ihe string of successes the Nelson Binyen horse was compiling. From the description of the race telegraphed it would seem that the Auckland tup winner had every chance, but was never tfoing freely at any stage and could not sprint when required over the last half mile. Black Admiral, which won the Duiiedin Cup yesterday, is a jrood pacer, and has won several events, but yesterday's race ttns his most important victory to date. For some time lie has been ticked oil us likely to qualify for the New Zealand C'll j>. hut he did not have to break 4.30 to dispose of the opposition, and in winning in 4..52 3-u he in still on a good mark. When llip American-bred free-lepged pacer Silk Thread raced in Auckland at the Cup meeting it was the general opinion that he would not be lon«r in winning again. This Opinion was soon upheld, as the imported horse won the King George Handicap yesterday in fine style, going the two miles in 4.42 i-Ty which is not a bad performance for 11 free-legged horse. Although W. T. Lowe did not win a race with the trotter Woodlass w'nei lie made the trip to Auckland for the A..T.C. Cup meeting, the bay went otu fair race without getting any of thf money. Yesterday at Dunediii Wood lass downed a good field of s<|uarc-gaitei horses in the Otago Cup and won easily by four lengths in 4.41 4-5. Woodlass had performed well previously at ; Canterbury Park meeting. 1 The summer meeting of the Waikatc Trotting Club, which is to be held 01 Alexandra Park on March 0, owing t< 1 alterations being made to the course ai ! Claudelands, will see a fine programme offered to owners. Eight races will bi decided, and with the prize money ranging between £200 and £7.10 it if certain there will be a good response from owners on February 12, when nominations close. The principal event i? the Alexandra Park Handicap, whicl is eneloweel with £700 and a gold euj valued at 100 guineas. The nominations received for the Poverty Bay Trotting Club's meeting U be held next month are not over big and the majority of the horses engaged are Auckland nominations. Only four are entered for the Trial Handicap, five in the Dominion Handicap, and half a ilozen in the Waikanae Ha, cup. The following are entered for the Poverty Bay Cup:—Ofa Mai, Ilohora, Concertina, Halmore, Grattan Thorpe, Master Cute, Rona, The Shrew, Satin Bird, La Sonette, Jewel Pointer, Gladys Cole, Bingcn King, Pitaroa, Peterwah.
