Nominations for the Egmont Racing Club's Summer Meeting close .this evening. \ Nominations for the Australian Jockey Club's Doncastor Handicap and Sydney Cup close to-morrow. Acceptances for the Tapanuj Racing Club's Annual Meeting close this evening. Among the recruits who left Hastings for camp on Saturday morning with the 24th Reinforcements was T. F. Evans, head man under 8. Waddell in the Hon. J. D. Ormond's racing stables. Four of the horses under Evans's care were successful at the recent meeting of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club, and it is hoped that he will be as successful in his soldier life as ho has been in sporting. It is reported by the "Grey Hiver Argus" that Mr Hugh Cassidy's marc Recorder has gone sore, and will not bo a competitor at the Hokitika Meeting ; but not to be denied a representative in the Jubilee Gold Cup, which race Mr Cassidy's representative won 50 years ago, he completed the purchase on Friday of Martial Air, the winner of the Inangahua Cup, and sho. will carry Mr Cassidy's colours at the jubilee fixture.

Canterbury horses were very successful at the recent Auckland racing carnival, and subtantial proportion of the liberal stakes awarded by the A.R.C. Mr Gerald Stead headed the winning owners' list with £2520, whilo Mr G. 3>. Greenwood was credited with £1045. According to a Northern exchange King Lupin tore off a plate during the running of the Railway Handicap. This would account to some ox tent--lor his poor showing in that event. In his next two starts he scored easily, and quite justified his owner's estimate that he was better at the beginning of the meeting than at any time during his career. The New Zealand-bred Sea Pink, who won the big handicap at Moouee Valley last Monday, is still owned by .Mr E. J. Watt, and is trained by G. Delaney at.Caulfield. "Mr H. Whitney" purchased Paii Mall during the Wairarapa Meeting. He intends using her for stud purposes next season.

Taringamutu is again a regular attendant on the Trentham tracks, but she is still suffering from shoulder lameness, and it is doubtful if she will be able to race, at the fortliconyng Wellington Meeting. Before taking u» his quarters at Trentham to fulfil engagements at the W.R.C. Meeting this month, Ardenvhor, who was unsuccessful 011 his mission to Ellerelic. will return to Dunedin. C. Christie will take the New Zealand Cup winner to the North Island again on the eve of the Trentham gathering. Jimmy Woodsir has been sent to the West C'oa6t to compete in the Borough Trot at the Westland Racing" Club's Jubilee Meeting. H. Frost will be in the saddle-

The report that Our Thorpe is somewhat amiss is incorrect. The son of O.Y.M. is all right, and will again be seen under silk in the near future.
