A four-year-old lister to the champion Croat Bingen i« being worked by J. J. Keimi'i'ley. Logan Pointer lias sired seventy-eight and :i half winner-, and Great Audubou fifty-four this season. D.

Harold Bur\v<H>d i* stated to have come m!i a lot since In , competed at the Forbury meeting, and he i-i expected to do much better at the Oamaru meeting. An old-timer in Paul Dufault was on the Addington track recently. but was only jogged. At present the little pacer, who has been a big stake-earner in the past, is very much in the rough. Two arrivals at Auckland this week were the pacers Luvan and Direct Morning. Luvan recently ran second to Ribbonwood's Last in the Sydney Thousand. Both are now under H. Hendrieksen's charge at Epsom. The Auckland Cup winner, Nelson Derby, is nof being asked to do much liy \V. J. Tnmkinson. The son of Nelson Bingen will be kept pottering about before being tunde up for the big meetings in the early spring. Auckland-trained horses are not strongly represented at the Hawke's Bay Trotting Club's meeting. Only nine are entered from thU end. and they do not comprise a good lot. It does not look a = though much money will come this way. The three-year-old pacer .Actor, byAuthor L'illon from Marie Tempest, will probably l>e a competitor in the trotting events at Ashhurton next week. He has the reputation of being smart, and much interest attaches to his appearance in public. A three-year-old half-sister to Ursaline is being worked by A. Fleming at Christehurch. She is said to have, been a handful of trouble to her trainer when first handled. So also was Ursaline when G. Faton first set out to educate her, but she is quiet enough now. That pood pacer, Pedro Pronto, who went wrong just prior to the New Zealand Trotting Cup last year, when the ruling favourite, is io be given another chance to stand a- preparation by J. J. Kennerley. According to a writer in the "Christchuroh Star," the son of Don Pronto is not any too sound on his injured leg.
