HERE AND THERE.

| TRACK AND STABLE. : RACE RUN TWICE. F. Johnston, owner of Trevathuii. lias lodged an appeal against, the otli ial placings in a race run on the second day of the Gore Racing Club's meeting, llaif the field completed the course from what the starter declared to be a fa'se start, and in thin run Trevathan -was first past the post. Jn the next contest Trevathan was unplaced. THE NIGHT PATROL NO MORE. The Night' Patrol, who was imported from England by Lord Stradbruke, the Governor of Victoria, recently died in a stall at the Melbourne saleyards. In all The Night Patrol won £ 10.000, and he was sold for the stud for 10,000 guineas, later being resold for 1300 guineas. At the age of 23 years he was again to be put up for auction. LAMBOURN WORTH WHILE. The iiu cult .Ijambourn, who won at 11 aw ke\s Bay, raced in classic company earlier in the season. He was unplaced in the New Zealand Derby and Great Northern Derby, but some of his form makes him useful. HORSES FOR COURSES. Ihe Wangantii Cup winner Dynasty is a four-year-old gelding bv PostrritY from Drawl, lie is one of .Mr. (J. .M. Curries winners who does not descend from Eulogy, Drawl being by Liniond from the imported Spearmint mare Drax. Dynastv seems to be partial to the Awapuni course, as he won there twice at the Christmas meeting. A CHANGE OVER. A mild sensation was caused in racing circles in Hawkc's Bay wlhen it was learned that t'ramer W. McKinnon had ibeen relieved of the responsibility of caring for the Hunting Song—Golden Opportunity four-year-old fielding Kakanui, who so 'brilliantly won the Hawkc's Bay Cup. Rakanui's owner, Mr. K. J. Jeffares, announced that lie intended to train the horse himselt. Mclvinuon had charge of 'him for only three months.

EXIT SAKA BONA. The Trentihum trainer, A. Goodman, had a stroke of really bad luck this week. His promising Gaseony two-year-old. Saka 13ona, with I*. Uurgcss up," was galloping when he collapsed with a fractured bone in a foreleg. He was removed for a veterinary examination with the hope of saving him, .but the examination disclosed a 'break in two places, and he had to foe destroyed. The loss is severe for Goodman, for Saka Bona was very promising, and looked like ending a long run of outs" for his trainer, who recently disposed of a half-interest in the cost. A PROMISING CANDIDATE. When Little. Robin finished a good second to Dynasty in the Wanganui Cup lie carried 61b more than has been allotted him in the Great Autumn Handicap, and his performance should be quite satisfactory to those who have supported him to win the big mile and a 'half race at Riccarton. Little Robin has done a. lot of racing this season, having started 23 times for four wins, five seconds and four thirds. He is a six-year-old gelding by Resinous from Little Thrush, by Birkdale. from the Boniform mare Pretty Girl, and, like Dynasty, is a first foal.
