ROUND THE WORLD.

Tha Australasian says it was a shame to start Hova at Adelaide, whose breakdown was freely predicted before the race. Gentle Ida, belonging to the same owner as Manifesto, is reputed to be as good as th 3 Gratad National winner. It has been stated that Mr W. R. Wilson anticipates finding a buyer in England for Wallace, failing whiqh an attempt will be made to prepare the chestnut for another innings on the colonial turf. An exchange remarks that " Narellan, by Chester from Princess Maud, who was bred and sent to England by the late Mr James White, is doing suidduty at' the Michelstown stud, Cork, at a fee of three guineas. At the Cork ShoW in 1895 Narellan tooksecondprizo, andafoalof Ilia shown afc Mallow-in the follow ing yew wma awarded premier honours." Winkfield's t*ride been struck out of all- handicaps (says a Liondoti exchange of April 2nd), in .view, it is understood, of being specially prepared to meet Persimmon

in the Ascot Gold Cup, when, if both horses come well. to the post, a most exciting contest may be expected. The weights for the Lancashire Steeplechase, to be run on April 19th, were declared immediately after the decision of the Grand National. Manifesto was naturally top weight, his burden being 12sb 71b. Daimio had 12sb 31b, and Ebor 12st lib. Wild Man from Borneo had Ust 71b. When it was announced that the V.R.O. committee had decided that the handicapper should not go beyond 13st 71b in framing his weights for a hurdle race or Steeplechase at Flemington in future, some doubt existed as to what procedure would bo adopted in the case of a horse whose handicap weight, with penalty added, exceeded 13sfc 71b. The committee had the matter brought under, their notice yesterday, and to make things clear passed a resolution to the effect that a horse shall not " carry " more than 13st 71b in a jumping event at Flemington. Orrae, the famous son of Ormonde, is reported (says the London Sportsman) to have "suddenly developed signs of madness at the Eaton Stud. JHEe was fairly quiet yesterday, but it is understood thab the Duke of Westminster has decided that he shall serve no more mares. Madness in horses is not a very uncommon thing, a recent case in point being that of M. R. Lebaudy's bay horse Prince Simon, by St. Simon out of Rosy Morn, who was sent to France last summer to be sold as a stallion to the Government subsequent to his victory in the valuable Clarence and Avondale Stakee, but developed such symptoms of mania that he had to be destroyed. Had not Clorane been stopped in his work sixteen days before the decision of the Lincolnshire Handicap, Winkfield's Pride would not have gone to the post for that race (says " Tho Aristocratic Tout" in the Licensed Victuallers' Gazette of April 2nd). This on the authority of his trainer, who does not doubt, after the tremendous performance of the big horse, but that he would have proved successful" but for his enforced idleness for five days. Robinson further informed mc that Wingfield's Pride is at his worst over so short a distance as a mile, but is a veritable smasher over Cup courses, and if he JSteeps well he will throw down the gauntlet to Persimmon in the Ascot Gold; Cup, " and lam hopeful that he will win it," said " Robbie." Here I may mention that' the Foxhill folks, in view of racing being seriously interfered with through the recent, decision by the Judges in Appeal, have determined to seek fresh fields and pastures new in the prosecution of their much-beloved and favourite sport. Robinson has made the necessary arrangements for transferring fifteen of his best horses to France; but Ido not for a moment suppose that events will, shape themselves in a direction that will necessitate this step. To mc the result of the first great race of the season was eminently satisfactory, seeing that from the' outset I declared in favour of Robinson's lot, and when subsequently recommending Clorane was absolutely on the right tack until he wrenched his hoclc From that time I stood Winkfield's Pride. The •'* Special Commissioner '*■ of the London Sportsman, writing of the Liverpool Grand National race, says:—l do not ever remember seeing a horse look more all over a winner from start to finish of a race than Manifesto did on Friday, He was beautifully handled by T. Kavanagh. I said to him after the race, "I am sure you are a pixmd man this minute," to which he replied, " Why wouldn't I be, sir ; Fve been trying to do this for the last ten years, and ought to have done it three years ago on Lady Ellen 11., bat I didn't know'the mart." Kavanagh, who was born at Bray, wae thirty years old on the 13th of this month. ' On March JLst, 1877, he went to live -with the late Mr Tiinde. He has won three Great Lancashire Steople-chases, on Spahi, Gentle Ida, and. Manifesto, the Irish ! Derby on Pet Fox, the Railway, the Anglesey, the Waterford, and, I may say, every other' race worth winning in Ireland. Hβ is married,' and lives at Walshestown, near Newbridge. | Greenhill was going well when he landed on to; Nelly Gray'sqnarters, and came down. Cathal was dead settled when he came down a cropper I at the last fence, and Mr Ward was a good i deal shaken. Many people thought the horse had broken his neck, but, as luck would hare it, there was a veterinary burgeon close by, who put his hand into the horse's mouth, and found he had swallowed hie tongue ; that is j to say, the tongue was turned backwards ] down the poor animals throat. He -was able to pull it back again, not, however, without having his hand bitten, and the horse is now all right. Ford of Fyne was, X believe, very unlnoky in the race, being knocked down once, and carried out at the turn almost to the canal; not that h© would, in my opinion, ever have beaten the winner.
