Ernest Lee Steere. were smelted at the Australian Royal Mint and gold worth about £1000 will be sold anct the ■proceeds put free of interest into the Commonwealth war loan. The cups, one of which has been in the owner's possession for move than 20 years, have, in his opinion, "been hidden away from one year to another and have neither use nor ornament.'' Mr. Lee Steere has had replicas made of the gold cups. They are Sydney and Oanlfield cups won by Eurythmic, two "Williamstown cups and a King's cup won by Second Wind, and a Caulfield cup won by Maple. DISAGREED WITH STEWARDS In Jamaica some owners have a forceful way of impressing upon stewards disagreement with their decisions. At a recent meeting at Knutsford Park a horse was disqualified for interference. "This," says a local writer, "was the cause of a inost deplorable incident. The sanctity of the steward's box was forcibly invaded by two men, who, in full view of the crowded stands, proceeded to beat up two of the stewards and the clerk of the course. Both were removed by the police, but the occurrence, which is without precedent ■ in the annals of racing m this country, cast a gloom over the rest of the day's ! proceedings." WHAREMANEA SOLD. The hurdler Wharemanea, who won on the first day of the Avondale autumn meeting, has been purchased by the Hon. E. R. Davis. The gelding will remain in W. J. McLean's stable at Ellerslie.
