STABLE AND TRACK NOTES.

HORSES FOR SYDNEY. \ Admiral -Drake and the Limond—Anklet colt, owned by Air. J. M. Samson, have arrived in Wellington, and will proceed to Sydney by the Maunganui on Friday. MAY RIDE MR. SAMSON'S HORSES. W. H. Jones, the well-known North Island lightweight horseman, will probably do the riding on some of Mr. J. M. Samson's horses at the spring meetings in the South Island. OFF TO AMERICA. Nea Lap, the sister to Phar Lap, who has been sold to Mr. J. H. Whitney, of New York, is to be sent to New York by the Canadian Cruiser, which is due to leave Wellington to-day. AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB. • Nominations for all handicap events to be decided at the spring meeting of the Avondale Jockey ,Club and forfeits for the Avondale Stakes and Avondale Guineas are due with the secretary, Mr. A. J. Farquhar, at 5 p.m. next Friday. MANFRED COLT SHOWS PROMISE. A high opinion has been formed of the two-year-old Red Manfred (Manfred — Redshank) in F. Davis' stable, who is due to make his debut in the Debutante Stakes at Wanganui on Saturday. However (says our correspondent), it may be later on in the season before this youngster shows his worth, as he is not as forward yet as the majority of two-year-olds. R. DERRETT AT WANGANUI. Among the visitors to Wanganui this week is the well-known jockey R. Derrett, who rode Betrayer to victory in the Wanganui Cup in 1880, The Poet in 1884, and Lady Zetland in 1895. Derrett was the leading horseman in New Zealand in the 80's and 90's, and was first horseman for Mr. D. O'Brien, and later for Mr. G. G. Stead. When associated with the latter he rode innumerable winners. PURIRI PARK AMISS. Puriri Park is amiss, and is unlikely to race again for some time. He was all right after a gallop with his stable companion, Royal Survey, yesterday morning, and after returning home he was turned out in a paddock. .SomV little time afterwards he was found to be lame in one of his forelegs, which was very swollen. Puriri Park has always been inclined to play a lot in the paddock, and he probably injured himself while in .one of these moods. HARDENED UP IN CONDITION. During the past few weeks Tarporley has hardened up in condition and he is now thriving well on the work he is doing. It is some time since this gelding made his appearance in public, but when he gets back to his best racing form again he should hold his own in hack company. Tarporley has plenty of speed and also stays on better than tl*e majority of hacks racing at the present time and this will be a lot in his favour when he commences racing -again; ENTERED FOR WANGANUI. Aga. Khan, who is due to race at Wanganui to-morrow, has been registering some fast gallops on the track at Hawera recently. This hack had a race at the Taranaki -Hunt meeting last month, and though he' failed to finish in th-e money may do better at Wanganui. In four starts last season Aga Khan was successful once, but he only beat a moderate field of hacks,' and will have to improve considerably to suefceed against the stronger opposition nextf week. AN IMPROVED MAIDEN. Landlubber has done well since he was last seen in public at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting and will be a much improved horse next itime he goeu to the post. He reeled off a smart four furlongs on the No. 2 grass track yesterday morning at Ellerslie and should not take long to lose his maiden certificate. This five-year-old is due to have his next race at the Avondale meeting in October, and it will not be for want of condition if he fails to earn some money at the suburban fixture.

HALF-BROTHER TO NANCY LEE. The Quorn, a half-brother to Nancy Lee, by Hunting Song, had his first race this season when he contested a division of the Longbeach Handicap at Ashburton on Saturday. He got away badly, but finished on to get third. This gelding won a couple of races last season, including the Halswell Handicap, six furlongs, at Riccarton in the autumn, beating a very useful field of hacks, and on his showing on Saturday it will be surprising if he does not win some money during the spring. ONLY A MODERATE. Conjurer 11., who has passed through alie hands of Mr. C. Boyle and J. Coyle, and is now running in the colours of the Washdyke trainer P. T. Hogan, had his first race in the South Island at Ashburton on Saturday. He finished fifth in the hurdle race won by Sports King, after lying well back early. Mr. Boyle was successful with Conjurer 11. in the Century Hurdle Race, and he also won with him in Melbourne, but the bulk of his form has been moderate, and he is a poor relation to his great brother, Poitrel. TEASTREAM RESUMES. During the winter the Trentham trainer H. A. Telford gave all his time to the preparation of the two Paper Money rising two-year-olds in his stable, Pegged Exchange and the Ebba colt, but he now has the three-year-old Teastream, (Tea Tray—Ebba) back on the active list and will probably have him ready for production at Otaki. Teastream, who is owned by Mr. B. H. Edkins, his breeder, had a fairly easy time of it last season, for he was required to contest only four races in' the first half of the season, then was spelled. He did not show any special form in any of his starts, but his trainer was of opinion that he would not do so till he had some age with him. The sire of his dam, Franklin, a sou of Yolta, was a stayer (he was second in Polemarch's St. Leger), and it is expected that Teastream will acquire some of his ability in this direction. WELL-BRED FILLY. Lady Zephyr should win races this season. At the Ashburton meeting on Saturday she was in the picture all the way in the second division of the Longbeach Handicap, and a hundred yards from home she and Solwit Were in charge, but Niggerhead finished just a bit too well for her and beat iher by a neck. Last season she was placed twice in four starts, her best effort being a second to Metal Bird in the Electric Stakes, five furlongs, at the .South Canterbury meeting. Lady Zephys is well bred, fo» she is by Robespierre from Lady Minerva,, by Martian from Lady Lillian* by Pha»-;on from Lady Zetland. Lady Lillian won the Great Easter Handicap, seven furlongs, and Great Autumn Handicap, pne mile and a half, at the same meeting at Riccarton, following in the footsteps of her dam, Lady Zetland, who also captured the New Zealand Cup. Lady Zephyr should develop into a good stayer. She is a half-sister to Minerval, who won the Ashburton Handicap, on Saturday. LadyZephyr is engaged at Geraldine to-morrow.

SUNNY SKY RETURNS. Sunny Sky was brought back to Wellington by the Maunganui yesterday, and will be sent on to Gisborne, where she is owned. While in Sydney she failed to show the brilliant form she displayed in Auckland during the autumn and winter. STONYHURST FOALS. The following are the early foalings at Sir Charles Clifford's Stonyhurst Stud: Moorfowl; by Autumnus —Kirriemuir, filly to Paper Money; Gamebag, by Autumnus —Kirriemuir, colt to Day Comet; S\yoop- " along, by March Along—Brown Owl, colt to Day Comet; Rivalry, by Antagonist— Equipment, filly to Winning Hit; Counterscarp, by Antagonist—Countermine, colt to Day Comet. JUVENILE DOING WELL. The two-year-old gelding Chief Emerald i. is developing into a good-looking juvenile and is now thriving extra well on thg work W. Kemp is giving him. Most of his .tasks .have Ijeen restricted to easy pacing, with t an occasional sprint over a furlong or two, e and he appears to possess his share of o speed. Chief Emerald will bo seen out in juvenile events later on in the season and ' should have good prospects. I' ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. K.-(l) t £1 7/; (2) £3 9/.
