A visitor to Ellerslie this morning was Geo. Price? who generally manages to make a visit to the Dominion each winter'arid renew acquaintance with old friends. . .... Eh Timl and Scat are at present at Ellerslie. The- pair arrived yesterday and will be shipped to Sydney on Friday. They will be. ridden in their engagements on the other side by M. McL'arten when the weights 9ilit. Mr. J. E. Widener adds to the Americans who do things in a big way in the racing line, and do not restrict their operations to one country. Mr. Widener races in France as well as in America, and la«st month had seventy-five horses in training. The rule passed by the Racing Conference last year, prohibiting a jockey from carrying any dead weight about his body during a race, was never in much favour. A proposal to amend it will be made next month, a limit being suggested to the amount of dead weight which a jockey may' carry on his body. In England last year the opinion was general that some announcement should be made by owners of stallions as to the number of nares for which their services were available. The fairness of this idea impressed several studmastere,' and Salmon Trout (1924 St. Leger winner) was advertised this season for twentyfive maree, inclusive of his owner's, his fee being 200gns.

Nearly every embezzler saddles racing with his downfall. Possibly it is in the belief that it will be productive of more sympathy from the judge who determines his sentence. Racing has been the undoing of some men, but others have only turned to it as the last hope of getting out of difficulties resultant on other speculations. Knowing little or nothing about the game, they are often easy marks for' "'urgers" of various degrees, and then'when the end comee betting is blamed for everything. Whenever I see business men (says "Pilot") not previously .associated with racing suddenly become ardent racegoers I know it means one thing-—they are urgently in need of money, and think they may find it on the racecourse. The experience of innumerable other thousands is nothing. Fortune ig going to be kinder to them. It may be to some—and a lucky bet has got a few out of a nasty hole—but most have cause to regret looking for windfalls on racecourses. NAPIER PARK MEETING. THE ACCEPTANCES.
