J. Cammick has been engaged to ride Master Doon, Oscar and Leitrim in their respective races at the Waikato Hunt Club meeting on Monday next*

Nothing serious has been exacted from King Emerald during the last couple of weeks. The bay gelding is bowlipg along nicely in his work and has freshened up since he was last raced.'

M. Ryan has registered the name Pal for the brown yearling colt by Snow King from Marble Bell. This youngster's dam was a useful performer and has a Whangarei and Rotorua Cup to her credit. 9

The Thorn is getting through plenty of useful work at Ellerslio and has been steadily improving in condition since being recommissioned by J, Williamson after a lengthy spell. The brown gelding is due to make his first appearance season at the Dargaville meeting.

Paganelli is reported to be looking greatly improved since his return from the Auckland meeting. His track efforts this week have been executed in a taking manner, although he has not been bustled on any occasion. He will most likely have his next outing in the Feilding Stakes, in which event he will have 9.3 in the saddle.

Golden Wedding will be having her race in hack company at the Waikato Hunt Club meeting on Monday next, where she will contest the Bruntwood Handicap, of one mile. This mare has settled down and is racing better than ever she has previously done in the past, and when she takes on open company should still be capable of acquitting her* self in a creditable manner.

H. Hastedt has Abbott's Delight in the right condition' for his coming racing campaign. The Quia Abbey gelding feu been working in improved fashion in his track efforts and gives the impression that he will develop into a useful galloper when he becomes seasoned. Abbott's Delight will be racing at the Dargaville meeting to be held on the Avondale course early in November.

When Lady Quex won the Opunake Scurry at the Taranaki Hunt Club meeting in September she created a very favourable impression, In her only start since then she was sent out favourite for the Mt. Albert Handicap at the Avondale meeting, but failed badly, which was probably due to the heavy state of the track. She has been paid up for in two snort-distance races at the Waverley meeting, which takes place next Monday, and with the going to suit she should perform much better.

* T r h^, cr f? k Bte «plechaßer Glendowie is to fulfil his engagement in the Waikato Hunt Cup, which comes up for decision at Cambridge next Monday. His usual pilot (S. Henderson) is incapacitated with a fractured collarbone, therefore he will not be available to ride the Lucullus gelding. Glendowie has 12.0 to carry in the race referred to, but with all his weight he will keep the opposition 'busy, providing he is landed at tne post in his best condition.

After his second in the Greenmount Steeplechase at the Pakuranga meeting, the Lucullus gelding Te Horea is sure to have some friends if started in the Waikato Steeples on the second day of the Waikato meeting. Te Horea was making his first appearance as a cross-country performer at the Pakuranga meeting and is likely to be improved as the result of his experience over the Ellerslie country.

After being off the scene for some considerable time, Seatown will make hi* reappearance in the Waverley Cup, of one mile and a-quarter, to be decided on Monday next. His Showing in the event should give some line regarding his prospects in the future, sieatown, who itf freely engaged in important handicaps at the Auckland Racing Clnb's summer meeting, is a very capable galloper when a& the top of his form.

Home Hade, who figure* as topwelght in the ladies' Bracelet to be ran at the Waikato Hunt meeting on Labour Day, is a six-year-old gelding by Ihurnham bom Housewife. He first came into prominence by winning the Kiwitea Bracelet at the Manawatu Hunt meeting* two seasons ago, and since then he has captured several races over hurdles and on the fiat, his most recent performances being Ma success in the Moteo Hurdles at Naptar Park last June, while he also accounted for the Ashcott Hunters' Hurdles at Dannevirke in August', in 4 a similar event at the Manawatu Hunt Club meeting last month. Home Mad* is trained by Geo. Jones, at Awapuni, «iH if produced at Cambridge on Monday next he will have plenty of friends. _ —: \ Hl-treatment of horses will not be allowed to pass unnoticed by the AJLC. •tewards. At Ascot recently they took unusual action in suspending a prominent rider, F. Guy, for a month, for ill-treat-ing the favourite, , the ex-New Zealander Breezy, during the running of the first division of the Encourage Stakes (says a Sydney writer). The severity of the pen~ty was the direct result of Guy having been fined for a similar lapse last August, and the stewards intend making Guy a lesson to others. The charge against Guy was that, at the turn, when he found his mount not doing well enough to assure victory, he repeatedly hit her over the head with the whip. Such action is supposed to force a horse to greater effort, and "Guy apparently took it as a desperate last effort. Old hands cannot remember a similar action on a pony course, but the stewards have often fined a boy either for too free a use of the spurs or the whip,
