FIXTURES FOR THE SEASON.

Juiy 2—Ashburton County B.C. July 12, 14, ie—Wellington R.C. July 21— Waimate Hunt Club. July 23—South Canterbury Hunt July 88. 80—OUborne B.C. July SO—Cbristcnurch aunt.

Royal Mint will bo ridden in his Trentham engagements next month by R. W. McTavish.

S. Henderson will ride the three Ellers-lie-trained horses, Beau Cavalier, Kamerhameha.. and Master Doon in their engagements at Wellington next month.

W. Patterson has Catonian going well In her work at Ellerslie, and the Catmint filly has improved in condition a igood deal sinee being put into commission.

A rising two-year-old brown filly by $now King from Lightning will be known by the name of Snowdrift. This iUly is a half-sister to that promising hack Catapult.

When Commendation goes to Sydney L. G. Morris will go across to do the riding. With McCarten on Limerick, there will be a full New Zealand flavour about their meeting.

It was reported on the course at Hastings on Saturday that Hoariri, who had pulled up lame on Wednesday and again ■on Friday, had broken down and would not come to Trentham.

On Birkenella's return from the Dunedin Winter meeting, he was transierred to L. Knapp'a stable, and he will iorm one of the Awapuni trainer's team at Trentham next month.

Wharacliffe will be ridden in his Trentham engagements by A. E. Ellis, who had a successful trip to Hawke's Bay, .and returns South to ride at the Ashiburton meeting on Saturday.

A. Julian is still keeping the chestnut jgelding Sea Comet going, but his tasks are very light just at present. Sea •Comet will most likely be given a race at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting in August;

Laughing Prince is stated to have grown into a very solid colt, and it is his owner's intention to have him racing *arly next season, when his first run will most likely be at the Mar ton spring fixture.

Alloway is one of the New Zealand horses nominated for the next Mel* l>ourne Cup. Whether the Limond—Admyra gelding is to be taken across the water is at the present time very indefinite.

The veteran Martian gelding Vagabond was not raced at the recent Hawke's Bay meeting on account of soreness. He has been freely nominated ior jumping events at Wellington, and is again working well.

Beau Cavalier, Killute, Rahepoto, and Passionate are each doing plenty of sound work in view of their engagements at the Wellington meeting next month. The quartet are to be railed to Trentham about July 6.

The Ellerslie trainer A. E. Lee ha? taken the Quin Abbey—Fidget gelding The Norge in hand to prepare for the coming season. The chestnut will be given some work around the roads before being tried out on the track again.

Standfast is among the regular workers at headquarters, although he is oaly required to do steady pace wort at present. He appears to have done ■well since racing in the autumn and should make a useful three-year-old.

Luxurious has been added to the list, and will do his racing in the future as a gelding. The son of Lucullua has always displayed a lot of pace on the track and the chanches are that he 'will race better now that he has been gelded.

Birkenella, who annxed the last Wellington Steeplechase, is again nominated for that event this season. The big gelding is now being trained hy L. Knapp at Awapuni, but so far this season his form has been rather disappointing.

Carlaris, by Carl Rosa—ldra, a two-year-old who showed promising form in the autumn, when he ran second to Speechless in the Juvenile Handicap on the first day of the last Waikato meeting, is now being trained by W. Stone, at Te Awamutu.

J. Sunning, who met his death by drowning at North Shore last week-end, wa3 well known among the racing fraternity at Ellerslie, where he was employed for a number of years. "Jack" as he was familiarly known, was of a quiet unassuming nature, and his many friends will regret to hear of his untimely death.

After her fall in the Hawke's Bay Steeplechase on Friday, Fireblight was in a bad way, and it was subsequently found necessary to destroy her. Fireblight was an aged mare by California— Destroyer. She was a fine jumper, but rather of the plodding nature of steeplechaser. Her best efforts were probably her seconds in the Wellington Steeplechase to Omahu in 1925, and to Birkenella last year. She had been leased by Mr. H- R- Peacock to Mr. F. Armstrong.

Merry Mint, the rising three-year-old by Catmint —Merry Roe, owned by Mr. Lionel Clare and trained by H. Hickey, was noticed one morning last week doing pace and good solid work on the Hastings track. Questioned as to the reason for the early try-out, Mr. Clare said that if present intentions were adhered to, Merry Mint would contest the Trial Plate at Trentham next month and leave the same week for Sydney where he is engaged, amongst other events, in the A.J.C. Derby.

J. H. Jefferd will start the next flat racing season with a strong team. With Rapine and Decoy Bird coming into work yesterday, he has now in his active string in addition: Star Stranger; Dishonoured, a Paladin-Sweet Charity colt, a rising two-year-old; Star God, a rising three-year-old, full brother to Star Stranger; an Expense-Cione filly, a three-year-old sister to Phaola; Joy King? and the English colt Cobham, rating as a three-year-old in New Zea■l Und n «* season. He is from Sky Dream. 1 '

Royal Divorce has been taken in hand again at Trentham and is now working well.

Star Stranger has been pottering about the roads and trotting for a couple of weeks.

Cobban) lias had a short sprint or two, and so far as he has gone has shown promise. The first appearance of the team will probably be at Marton.

Rapine is as lively as a two-year-old. He has been looked after during his spell, and has not put on a great deal of condition so that he should come to hand earlv.

R. Emerson has kept Master Clarence and Hoylake going since they raced at Wingatui. Their recent tasks have not been strenuous, but they are in nice order for engagements at the Grand National meeting.

The veteran trainer S. Waddell, had sufficiently recovered on Saturday from his recent attack of influenza to take advantage of the bright day and witness the racing at Hastings, where he received the felicitations of a host of friends.

The Otaki trainer D. Webster contemplates leaving shortly for Australia with some horses. The team will include First Acre, a hardy customer, who is very useful up to a mile. A pony by Kilbroney from Moutoa lvanova may also be in the party, and he is said to be very smart.

P. P. Neagle has a fine Lackham-Sarah Grand colt at Taradale, the image of his sire; while a filly out of Asterina (owned by Air. G. D. Beatson) and a filly out of Hymarty, at Karamu, are also fine youngsters, and a good advertisement for their sire.

There is a rule which prc\ents a horse from being entered or started in which a paid oflicial at the meeting has any interest. A remit to come before the Racing Conference next month proposes to exclude from the operation of the rule medical practitioners, veterinary surgeons or "solicitors receiving professional remuneration from the club.

A veterinary surgeon diagnosed Alaric's trouble at Hastings as a paralysis of the muscles of a hind leg, due to striking a hurdle. He is progressing favourably. Peneus improved with every race on the Hawke's Bay circuit and was at his best on Saturday. He may develop into a useful jumper, and he appears to be quite at home in heavy ground.

Mountain Guide has done a lot of solid work during the last few months, and although he has never been raced, the Mountain Knight gelding will be very forward in condition when the spring meetings come around. W. Toaer has adopted a patient policy with the rising three-year-old, and it looks as if he will reap the benefit later on with his good-looking maiden.

A letter received in Auckland from the ex-New Zealand jockey, L. H. Hewitt, who is now training horses in India, shows that the New Zealander is having a prosperous time. During last season the horses under his charge won 36 races. Hewitt states that a moving picture of the horses under his care ar.d of his extensive establishment vas recently taken, and that the film is to be shown in New Zealand.

According to present intentions Maunga will race over hurdles at Trentham, and then go cm to Riccarton for the National. The mixing of hurdling and steeplechasing does not commend itself to the best judges of the game, and on the tracks at Hastings last week Maunga did not bear the bright look he had at Wanganui. This may have been due to the damp, cold mornings, but at the same time it is more than likely that the strenuous races in the Oreat Northerns on successive days have left their effect. A couple of seasons ago L. O. Morris made a habit of winning high-weight handicaps, and now another of the family, the gentleman jockey Mr. J. Morris, is "farming" the ladies' bracelets. Mr. Morris is a born horseman. His clever win on what appeared to be a beaten horse on Saturday wag delightful to witness, and raised a storm of laughter and applause from that critical gallery—the trainers' and jockeys' enclosure on the stand. Kaiti ran a creditable race in his only appearance at Hastings. The heavy going troubled him a good deal. He will probably not be seen out again until the spring, although there is a chance of him going to Riccarton for the Grand National meeting in August.

Croswn Coin is now in the "boom" for steeplechasing events ahead, and some go so far as to predict for him the bulk of the steeplechase money at Trentham and Riccarton. While Crown Coin is certainly one of the most promising recruits we have had in the game for many seasons, and has accomplishedd all that has been asked of him, it may be as well to reflect that the opposition last week was far from strong. In Bonny Rill, at the Park, he beat a ver* sore mare—so sore that she could not race last week—and at Hastings Lupineel had him under pressure half-a-mile from home, and he only beat Passin' Through, who on Saturday could net do better than fourth to Woden, San Forte and Hokioi—very moderate company. Until Crown Coin Iras accom plished something in first-class company it may be well to "go canny" on his National prospects. Although it is impossible to deny his great promise, T»-;itham should ' thoroughly try him out.

An English paper states that it learns from a reliable source that a representative meeting of influential backers and others interested in racing was held recently, when it was decided to form a "combine" to enable backers to bet between themselves. The public will be asked to participate in the scheme, full details of which were promised without delay. Presumably this action has been decided upon owing to the reluctance of soiue bookmakers to shoulder their share of the betting tax and to do business, on the "fifty-fifty'' principle advocated some time ago. It is proposed that the professional backers should give their support to the establishment of the pari-mutuel, <>.- some similar arrangement, which would eliminate the bookmaker altogether. Mr. Frederick Charles Parker, ex-Muyor of Northampton, who is one of the representatives of the professional backers, saif! to a "Daily Mail" reporter: "My contribution to the betting tax is £80 a week at the present season, or during a year £.1000, and the bookmakers* contribution is nil. It is apparent that we professional backers cannot carry on under these conditions, and I feel that the bookmakers ought to be , more reasonable."

Onyx ia to be mated with Author Dillon next season. If she leaves anything nearly as good as herself they should be worth owning. A New Zealand-bred horse in Einmctt. a half-brother to The Tartar, was successful at the recent meeting of the Melbourne Trotting Club. Mint Leaf raced well at Napier Park and Hastings, and the way he carried his load of 13.2 on Saturday in heavy going was highly creditable. There i.some money sticking out for Mint Lear verv soon. \ The New Zealand Metropolitan Club has issued a very attractive programme for its August meeting, the prize money amounting to close on £11,000. The days fixed for the meeting arc August U, 10, and 12. J. Anderton lias the half-brother to King Pot rounding up nicely, and he is giving him a fair amount of useful pace work, although the brown gelding is Mill rather burly looking, and will require time before he is ready to race. H. Hastedt has the chestnut Spalpeen gelding Spalmore in work again a't Ellerslio after an enforced spell due to injuries received some time ago. Spalmore appears to be quite sound again, and looks nice and big in condition after his respite from active work.

When running in a paddock Spring Chimes struck himself badly recently, and he will be off the scene for some time as a consequence. He was to be prepared for the meeting at Addington in August, but will now have to miss the Christehurch fixture.

An experienced Southland reinsman. who was present at the Ashburton Trotting Club's recent meeting, claims the youngster Vestas, by Matchlight. to be a very tine horse for his ape. The trainer referred to expects Vestas to become a good winner presently.

The negotiations between W. Evans and J. T. Kennerley for the lease of Master Councillor did not lead to a deal being completed, and the bay pacer was not taken South by Kennerley after the Auckland meeting. However, he has been leased by Mr. W. Clifton, and will remain in Auckland. More than likely the son of Councillor will be given a short spell, and not put into serious work again till the season opens. Mr. Clifton also leased Moko Chief. V.". Evans, who has retired from the sport, took over the Waiwera Hotel to-day.

Limonds half-brother Tompal (by J Pommern), recently purchased in England on behalf of Mr. G. M. Currie, lm.« had a varied career, and when he arrives in New Zealand will be a much-travelled horse. Pompal raced in England for two seasons. He was a failure at two years, but the next season won four races in succession, one being at eleven furlongs, another at ten, and two at a mile. At that age he also ran second to that good horse Inkerman, in the Doncaster Three-year-old Stakes, being beaten only by a length and a-half. Subsequently Pompal was sold and went to India.

In a chat with the writer yesterday the successful Mangere trainer, J. T. Paul, said he would be preparing the smart trotter Waikaha again for events during the coming season. Great Peter would also be in the team. Jewel, the smart, but somewhat disappointing mare, it was not intended to race again. Paul remarked that she was a rare stayer, but a couple of falls she had, through no fault of her own, resulted in her losing confidence. Before the last Auckland Trotting Cup Paul said he worked her out two miles in 4.26, going every furlong about the same pace. However, when she took her place in the Cup field she did not go with the dash she showed in her private training, and during the race fell.

The secretary of the Wellington Racing Gub (Mr. J. M. Griffiths) has been in communication with the Railway Department in regard to the running of a special train to carry racehorses to the Wellington winter meeting from Auckland and intermediate stations. Trainers concerned are being circularised bv Mr. Griffiths in regard to this matter, for if the train is supported as arranged a pood saving in money will be the result. It is proposed to run the train on either the 4th, sth or Sth July, leaving Auckland at 6.50 a.m. It is hoped that, apart from picking up horses at Frankton Junction, Marton and possibly Palmerston North, there will be no shunting. As there is everything to gain and nothing to lose by patronising the suggested train, it seems certain that the work will not be in vail*.

H. MeSweeney is still in the first flight of cross-country horsemen, and nobody knows the shortest way round a course better than he does. This was very noticeable in the Hawke's Bay Steeplechase. As the field jumped the fence three furlongs from the post, with another round to go, MeSweeney on Fireblight was one of the last over. Yet at the next obstacle in the straight he was over just behind the leader. It was a remarkable exhibition of the ground that could be saved by a skilful rider, and Firebright's fall three fences later abruptly terminated an excellent winning chance. MeSweeney is particularly clever at the art of riding a steeplechase, and nowhere is it more in evidence than over the National course at Riccarton.

Mr. W. G. Stead's young Leightons were paraded at Napier Park, six in all, five rising two-year-olds, and one rising three-year-old. The last-named is Stretton, a very useful-looking bay gelding from Bayon. by Demosthenes or Feramorz from the Bayardo mare Bayonne. This gelding claims important engagements in the spring, including the Melbourne Cup. Cimabue's sister in blood, a brown filly by Leighton from Lady Ball (a sister to Delight), is considered by many the pick of the rising two-year-olds, but the brown colt from Ladv D. is a taking youngster. Both the chestnut colts from Cassock and Lalla Rookh respectively, are solidly built, and the last of the six was a chestnut filly from Bayomie. In all this owner has thirteen yearlings, nine by Leighton and four by Lord Quex.

Members of the Sydney ring are not thinking of turning in their licenses becaucse of the new totalisator rules. So said a prominent bookmaker the other day. "We look upon the machine as little more than a plaything, and do not regard it as a serious opponent. Experience has proved that it does not offer any better prices than wo do, except, perhaps, in the case of extreme outsiders. Now it will return smaller dividends than ever, and that is not likely to make it more popular. Women may like it better, but their investments don't amount to a very large sum compared with what is handled by us." "Do you think there may now be more inducements to back the favourite?" "Of course, there may be, but the average Australian loves a gamble, and I believe he would sooner stand or fall by his chance of winning 30/ for | the risk of £1 than take a chance of I getting back 25/ or 26/ if his horse won.':

The ex-New Zealand trainer, R. O'Donnell, has not had much success since lie settled in Sydney, but he won a good race at liandwick this month with White Kang.-a speedy gelding by Polydamon. O'Donnell has four rising two-year-ods in his stable. They are Nassau—Gadget colt who cost 750 guineas, the Great Sale —Bell Suuvugc colt at 050 guineas, a brown gelding by Biplane from Helen Haton, and a black filly by Trillion from Maralomeda.

Questioned regarding liis contemplated trip across the deep in the near future, .1. M. Cameron informed me tlint it was just a question as to how The Hawk stood up to the test-out. fays the '"Daily Telegraph." At present the efforts of The Hawk certainly lead to the idea that he is coming back to form. Should the trip eventuate it will be made in the near future, and it is intended to have Egyptian Flower anil Goshawk accompany The Hawk on the trip.

V.R.C. NATIONAL DOUBLE

"During the last few day's the combination Pihlin and Clan Pobert has been backed for the. double. Victorian Grand National Hurdle Kaec and Steeplechase, to win about £20,000," says a Sydney writer. "The money wns taken for Mr. T. Da\ies, the owner of Tildin, some of it before, but most after, the weights appeared, giving his Burrabedeon gelding 11.4 in the Hurdle Pace. It is noteworthy that the three first favourites for the Hurdle Race —Pildin, Bombard and GrosVenor—each has over 11.0. Noteworthy, because iu the early days of the present century there was such a remarkable run of lightly-weighted winners of the Nutional—in 13 years only two carried over 10.0—that u prejudice was taken against the heavy brigade, which led to the late Dr. Lang framing the handicaps on a scale more generous to the good horses by starting at 11.0 instead of at over 12.0. fiscom straightway came home with 11.ti, and JackstatT, with 11."). repeated the trick two years later. Mr. .1. H. Davis has not hesitated to follow the doctor's lead, and 11.5 is the main this year. Looking at the records of the race it would seem that the prejudice against the eleven-stoners has been something of a bogy, as in 45 years no fewer than Pi of them have won. That gives an average of 20 per cent (almost one in three). A closer search would surely reveal that not nearly one in three of the starters has had over 11.0, so that the high winning average is rather remarkable."

WELLINGTON RACING CLUB.

TRENTHAM WINTER MEETING. WEIGHTS FOR FIRST DAY AND WINTER HURDLES. IBy Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. Monday. The following handicaps have been declared for the Wellington Racing Club's winter meeting at Trcntlrim (July 12, 14, and 10) : —

THE WELLINGTON WEIGHTS.

The publication of the handicaps fur the. Wellington meeting to-day will give those who are interested in racing something upon which to centre their thoughts for the next week or so. The- Winter Steeplechase, which is one of the big

cross-country events iu the Dominion. i> not an easy race to win. and thouyh sonic moderates have their names enrolled in the long list of winners, the majority of horses who have led the field home have proved themselves Hist-class 'chasers. Jn framing his handicap this time, Mr. If. Coyle has led oil with Comical, and in awarding the chestnut 11.4 he has not exactly thrown the gelding in the race. Comical was beaten iu each of his starts at Ellerslic this month. but in the Winter Steeplehasc, he had a big break on llie field the lust time going along the hack stretch, and he looked a certain winner. On that run Mr. Coyle could hardly have given Comical less than 11.4 at Wellington. As the winner of the (Sreat Northern Hurdles, Wedding March was entitled to 11.0, and with that weight

is bound to be one of the princ fancies, as he has demonstrated his ability to jump big fences well. Kawini, 10.12. seems to be too unlucky to win a big race, and he is ju>t being weighted at an impost which sees him coii.-istently beaten. Beau Cavalier made such an exhibition of his opponents in the Great Northern that with 10.7, which is a substantial ri>e on the weight he carried at Ellerslie, he is hound to be the early favourite. Tuki (10.fi), Crown Coin (10.4) and Zircon (10..'J) are nicely placed, but the only other in the race who looks to have a chance is Peter Maxwell (9.1.'{). He is not consistent, and apparently he

has his off days. Three who should be in favour are Wedding March, Beuu Cavalier, and Comical.

The Winter Hurdles offers a stiff problem to unravel. The top weights, Nukumai and Ngata, with 11.8, have been assessed as good horses, and undoubtedly they are, but over hurdles Nukumai has perhaps the better form. It i.« interesting to note that Ngata does not. on this occasion, figure iu the principal flat races, which suggests his owner is setting t!\e gelding for the hurdle-. Wedding March (11.1) should go well, as he can both 30 fast and stay, and over the last furlong in the Great Northern Hurdles he had the field well beaten. Kawini (10.8) reads nicelv in. and the stable mat"? Zircon (10.S) and Koyal Form (10.3), are possibilities. On the 10.2 mark are three good sorts in Maunga. Black Cruiser, and Gaze, and of the trio Maunga will mo*t likelv count most admirers. There nre plentv of possibilities among the lighter weights, and there is yet plenty of time to again review the position. In the meantime Maunga. Wedding March, ami Nukumai are a likely trio to appeal.

THYROID GLAND OPERATION.

A thyroid gland operation was recently performed on an English three-year-old called J'entire, and it was stated this it was not successful. Mr. YY. Muggridge, author of "How to Train a Bacehorsc." states that in IS'.U a Miccessfnl thyroid pland operation was performed on .a New Zealand-bred mare Vera Spes at Eagle Fnrm. Brisbanf, says an Australian writer. Dr. Butler, who was first a physician and later a veterinary surgeon, and Dr. Griffin, a Brisbane medico, performed the operation, 'which was successful, as in a few months the mare did well in top train-

iiif*. Boforo tin* operation li°r neck swc'.led considerably when ?ho was doing fu.-t work, but she wa< never troubled afterwards in that respect. She did not race, however, as >he broke nn internal blood vessel and bled to death in a few minute?. A post-mortem examination revealed the remarkable fact that there whs no blood in her internal arteries or vein-, while the other veins and arterie= i'n the vicinity <>f the operation were quite noriruil. Dr. Butler took sample? of the blood from lioth psirts. The mare. nccordiiiir to Mr. Muga ridge, was insured fer £'2.">< l. and the insurance company refused to pay. settinjj up the defence that the thyroid operation was tlie cause of death. However, the owner of the mare. Mr. (100. llarkell. took the to court and won.

LIMERICK AND COMMENDATION.

Evidently the difference of opinion which i« the better, Limeriek or Commendation, is shared by Australian handicappers. In the imposts allotted tor the principal handicap events to be run at the A..T.C. meeting at Randwick in October, and the Melbourne Cup. which

follows, it is interesting to note that the different handicappers have been content to assess the two Xew Zealanders as equal, in the Metropolitan, one mile and live furlongs, each being awarded 9."». In the Melbourne Cup Limerick has been asked to concede Commendation lib, Limerick having 9.1, and Commendation 9.0. Just how their respective owners will view the situation remains to be seen, but should the two New Zealanders line up in opposition to each

other at Kandwick or Flemington, the meeting of tiie pair will create interest above the ordinary in the Dominion, and no doubt in Australia also. Should 3ir. Caisford send Commendation across, and it is understood he will, there would be a strong army of New Zealanders prepared to put good money on the son of Limond to win the Ca til fie Id Cup with 5.13 in the saddle.
