STABLE AND TRACK NOTES. ELLIS' MOUNT IN NATIONAL. A. E. Ellis lias been engaged to ride Snowfall in the Grand National Steeplechase. This was the successful combination in the same event last year. A SPEEDY FILLY. The two-year-old Mercian King—Megan filly Foreign Queen, who scored a runaway victory in the Novice Stakes at the Marton meeting, has improved considerably of late and appears to be a good prospect in the Trial Plate at the Hawke's Bay meeting next Saturday. SHOWED PROMISE. Royal Saxon, who was a good performer on the ilat, had his first race over hurdles at the recent Dunedin meeting and is stated to have shown much promise. He will only need to jump light in the future to cause the opposition some trouble. Royal Saxon is engaged at the South Canterbury meeting on Saturday. HAVING AN EASY TIME. Since racing at the Great Northern meeting Catomn has been having an easy time and is unlikely to race again until the Pakuranga meeting in August. The Catmint gelding ran a real good race in the York Handicap — his only start at the meeting—and if his preparation had not been interfered with at a critical stage he would have earned some money during the meeting. TOBACCOLAND AS A JUMPER. Tobaccoland is being schooled over hurdles at Trentham. He has been a very disappointing horse on the flat, for he possesses galloping ability above the average, and early in his career won races like a good horse. Except for occasional flashes of form, however, lie lias failed to run up to his capabilities since. Jumping may do something for him, as experience has shown that it makes horses more solid. Tobaccoland is only just beginning his jumping education, but he shows promise, and lie has pace enough to make good at the game. AN IMPORTED COLT. The Irish-bred colt Colonel .Cygnus, who was imported to New Zealand by Mr. J. M. Samson, has struck form during the last few weeks and promises to turn out a really good sort next season. He won nicely at Southland last month, but was beaten at South Canterbury a little later by a good sort in Fast Passage. Going on to Dunedin, Colonel Cygnus won the Brighton Handicap', one mile, and the Aldworth Stakes, one mile and a quarter. Though he is classed as four-year-old, Colonel Cygnus is only three. He will have his next race at the South Canterbury meeting on Saturday. YOUNGSTERS AT HAWERA. O. Cox has three nice yearlings going through their preliminary exercises daily. One is a full-brother by Gainscourt to High Falutin' and is very forward. The other two are fine-grown fillies by Limond from Lady Cavendish and by Gainscourt from Marion's Birthday respectively, and are very attractive-looking youngsters. A two-vear-old by Diacqueuod from Pirouette, the "latter a daughter of a once smart sprinter, Pierene, by Achilles, is also being handled. A two-year-old filly by Hunting Song from the Kilbroney mare Idanoe, belonging to the Messrs. Smith Bros., owners of Peter Jackson and Gaine Carrington, is in J. Fryer's stable, and is doing her work tractably. She is a bit small, but is nicely proportioned. SHRILL'S FOAL. Though the Thompson Handicap winner Shrill has not been a very prolific stud matron, having produced only two •foals, both of her progeny, Father's Voice, by Absurd, ami High Pitch, by Sarchedon, have been good gallopers, and the latter has shone over the hurdles as well as on the flat. Some two years ago Shrill was bought at auction very cheaply by the Bell Block studmaster, Mr. John Gleeson, as it was very doubtful whether she.was in foal, though she had been stinted to Lord Quex. Mr. Gleeson took the risk, and in due course the foal arrived. He will be a year old in August, and good judges who have seen him declare him one of the best that they have ever seen. As the mare had had a good rest, there is a chance that this youngster may prove as good as, if not better than, his relatives. NOT DUE TO SORENESS. Sir Chas. Clifford sent Fast Passage to Auckland last Easter with a view to winning the Great Northern Oaks, but during the race something went wrong with the full-sister to Waterliue and she was pulled up. A Southern writer says that it was thought that Fast Passage suffered from soreness, but that is not the case. She was suffering from blood trouble, which had an effect on the kidneys, and her collapse in the Oaks was due to one of these kidney attacks, but it is not aiu.cipated that there will be u recunenoo. It is stated that Sir Chas. Clifford would again like to mate Sailor's Hope, dam 01 Waterliue and Fast Passage, with The Ace, sire of the ■ pair, but the latter is now located in the Opotiki district and there may be a difficulty in sending her there. However, if suitable transport arrangements -can be made Sailor's.Hope will visit Opotiki. 1

FOR HAWKE'S BAY. Mr. W. R. Kemball will send % itaplionc, ; Capo Paraki, Miss Beatrice and Miss Hastings to ■ the Hawke's Bay meeting,. from Trentham, and Thermopylae will go up from Carterton. The 6table apprentice, W. E. Shand, will do the bulk of the riding. WORKING ON THE LEAD. H. Rama is not giving Taneriri any solid work at present, most of his. tasks being done on the lead. It is a great pity that the son of Antagonist is not sound, for he is a fifst-class galloper at liis best, and would only need to train on correctly to win more money for his owner. MISTER GAMP RETIRES. The well-known hurdler, and winner of the 1929 Great Northern Hurdles, Mister Gamp, has failed to stand a preparation at Woodville and has been returned to his owner, Mr. E. Collins, at Newbury. Mister Gamp had been leased to Mi'- T. Wills, in whose colours he had raced a couple of times this season. MAY RACE AT TRENTHAM. The Kilbroney two-year-old ICiltowyn is thriving exceptionally well on the work allotted him by his owner, Mr. A. D. Potter, and has never looked better than at present. This juvenile has abundance of speed, and if he continues to make the same progress as he is now doing his owner will probably race him in minor evente at Trentham next month. TO RIDE AT HAWKE'S "BAY. The local jockeys E. Manson and H. Wiggins will attend the Hawke's Bay meeting at the end of this week to fulfil riding engagements at that fixture. . Wiggins has contracted to ride Anemometer and Man son's mounts include Tiega, Air Laddie, Joe and Hawora. The lastnamed, who is a member of A. E. Neale's stable at Bulls, will contest the Trial Plate. MAKING GOOD PROGRESS. The three-year-old lialf-sister to Bennie by King Nassau from Pliiletus is making good progress under W. Hogg's guidance at Ellerslie. This filly, who has had the name Sister Em bestowed on her, is, like her relative, a robust-looking sort. She has only been in commission a short time, but is furnishing nicely and will be ready to race early in the new season. YEARLINGS BEING EDUCATED. The Ellerslie trainer E. Gilchrist is handling several yearlings who, all going well, will be seen in action next season. Included among theni is a bay colt by Chief Ruler from Hukapapa, who ranks as a half-brother to Sargon; a brown gelding by Roniney from Glenlickey; and a bay filly by Romeo from Tliurnlcy, by Tliurnham from Lira. OUT OF COMMISSION. Spring Abbey and Rose Latour have been thrown out of commission by their trainer, A. Kemp. Both these hacks did a failamount of racing during the current season, but failed to display the form expected of them. Rose Latour ricked herself during a gallop prior to the Great Northern meeting and is to be given a lengthy spell, while Spring Abbey has been sent home to his owner. MORENA PROMISING. Morena, an aged son of Bisogne, looks like developing into a really useful hurdler, and it would not be surprising to see him win shortly in much better company than he has so far encountered. He used to be trained by P. D. Jones at Riccarton, and just prior to the last South Canterbury meeting was sold, winning at his first attempt in his new colours at that fixture. At the recent Dunedin meeting Morena accounted for the June Hurdle Race, but lost his rider in the Otago Hurdle Race, while on the last day he was a good second to the much more experienced Captain's Gift. Morena is due to make his next appearance at the South Canterbury meeting on Saturday and should go well. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. BILL'S ADMIRER (Hamilton)—(l) £5 14/. (2) £2 10/. W.H. (Papatoetoe).—The description of the race s-tates that Napper was interfered with by a dog coming down the hill the last time, and Hautere put in a phenomenal run and was in front when the course proper was reached. Napper got over the last fence, and was pulled up. It was found that his leg was broken.
