STABLE AND TRACK NOTES.

SHOULD SOON SHOW UP. Tradesman was produced on Saturday at the Ohinemuri meeting, and though he did not get into the money in the bt. Patrick's Handicap he finished fourth, rie looked in nice order for future engagements. and now that the ground is becoming softer more should shortly be heard of this fine sprinter. He is engaged at the Bay of Plenty meeting at Tauranga next Saturday. ' MORE THAN USEFUL. Takakua is engaged in both the President's Handicap, one mile and a quarter, and the Easter Handicap, one mile, at the Auckland autumn meeting. He contested the Thompson Handicap at Trentham on Friday and was prominent for a good way, while in the Autumn Handicap, one mile and three furlongs, on Saturday he was in the picture all the time and Argentic just headed him off. Takakua, who is by Royal Divorce from Outlet, by Provocation from Wailethe, traces back to Flora Mclvor and is more than useful., -it brought to Ellerslie he will have friends, in his engagements.

ENGAGED AT ELLEFSLIE. Lordly Knight -won the Collingwood Handicap, six furlongs, at Wellington in the spring, and his next success was over five furlongs at the Poverty Bay meeting last month. He was taken to the VVel lington autumn meeting last + 7J ree iji though he did not show up m the Thomp son Handicap, he dead-heated the next day and the Huia Handicap, six furlongs on the second day, and if heon the rig ■way in the meantime he should have a say in the latter event.

AT HIS BEST. I Royal Artist is now right at his best and he should further add to his record before the big autumn fixtures are through. After running well at Te Rapa he went on to Paeroa to annex the Ohihemuri Cup by a narrow margin from Baroscope* while the next day lie beat all but Imamint in the Shaw Handicap, one mile and 110 yards. He is in the President's Handicap, one mile and a quarter, on the opening day of the Auckland autumn meeting, and he would only need to reproduce his form at Paeroa to be hard to beat.

A GOOD RECORD. Golden Hair is building up a nice record. Her successes this season include the Wakeful Stakes and the V.R.C. Oaks Stakes at Flemington, tße Royal Stakes at Ellerslie, and now the Thompson Handicap at Trentham. Her latest victory was gallantly earned, as she gave Red Manfred a good start from the top of the straight. Cricket Bat finished brilliantly, but though he beat Red Manfred by a head he could not quite catch the filly. This trio were clear of Argentic, Epigram and Takakua. A CHEAP YEARLING.

Golden Chant, winner of the Tinakori Handicap at Trentham last week, cost only 30gs as a yearling. She scored a first and a third at the Wellington summer meeting in January, and at her only start in the interval won at Woorlville. Golden Chant was at one time unruly at the barrier, but she has improved in that particular. A four-year-old daughter of Arausio and the Boniform mare Concliita, Golden Chant belongs to the same family as The Banker, winner of the New Zealand Cup. She is trained by her owner, F. J. Attfield. of Awapuni.

A SMART YOUNGSTER. I Coronilla, who won the Plunket Nursery at Trentham last week, is a filly by Chief Ruler from D'Oro (a full-sister to Desert Gold). Coronilla, who was bred and is raced by her owner, Mr. T. H. Lowry, showed plenty of pace when she annexed the Taita Handicap at Trentham in the spring. She was subsequently beaten by Brown Betty in the Pioneer Handicap, five furlongs, at Riccarton. On Saturday at Trentham she hopped away smartly and was well clear as they reached the course proper, eventually winning by four lengths, running the five furlong 3 in 595. Coronilla, who is trained by J. li. Jefferd, i has engagements ct the Auckland autumn meeting.

WELL-BRED HACK. Round Tabic, who is engaged in the Eden Handicap at the Auckland autumn meeting, is a three-year-old by Grandcourt from Table Talk, and therefore a brother to High Falutin'. His dam is a sister to Highland, who won the Avondale Cup, the King Edward Handicap at Ellerslie, now known as the Mitclielson Cup, the Thompson Handicap at Trentham, and other good races. Round Table has shown good form recently, running second in two scven-furlc|2 races at Taranaki at Christmas time, while he won the Trial 1 late, of similar distance, at Trentham in January and later an eight furlongs and a half event at Egmont. He was started in the Champion Hack Cup, one mile and three furlongs, at Trentham on Saturday and got 'into trouble as the field went out of the straight, and though he showed up when the field turned for home he was unable to sustain the effort and was seventh when the post was reached. Round Table is owned and trained by O. Cox at. Hawera, who also trains Golden Hair.
