RACING AND TROTTING NOTES.

Carbine's legion of admirers will bo plen.'-cd to noto another victory to the frcdit of tho stock sired by his son fanipfire, Mr J. Hatvkins s Flying Camp bavin- won tho Jervois Handicap at Kllcr>lie on Saturday, -with a respectable field behind him.

The three placed horses in the Otago Stceplcek'se each carried list 21b. Czaronus, who has been running well, nas mad" second favourite for tho Jlaiden Stccplechasc at Ellcrsiic. His rider who has had two falls with him, tept liim a long way in tho rear of the leaders, and when he inado hia run ho did not get up to them.

Pennies, winner of the Maiden Hnrflrs at Klierslie, is not badly named, bej n .., by i'cnnv from Folly. Ho is a hairbrother to "\\*aipuna, a well-performed pno and mav go on winning. Ho made harks of his* field on Saturday. Hackers v.-ero much astrav in the lirrat Northern liurdlo Race. The inte-post favourite, Fisher, was only fourth favourite on tho machine, and Thether he would havo won if lie had aot fallen at tho last fenco must Remain matter for conjecture. Ot »ir-j Polo To Onga, and Waimai, who were preferred to him, only lo Onga got a nlacc. Tlic winner and the second were respectively eighth and mnth in the betting. Gladful. who finished first, hou four races last season, and was a winner recently in Hawke s Bay. bt. F.lmn, wlio ran second, has shown great pare on tho flat, but is not a consistent performer. Tararu .lack, who was considered to have a fair hope in the Groat Northern Hurdle®, caiuo down when lusher toll at> tho last fenco, and his supporters remain without tho matter for a conrinccd opinion on his merits.

El Guild's performance in running third in the Cornwall Handicap at Auckland 011 Saturday should his backcrs for tho Great Northern Steeplechase on good terms with, themselves. A nice winding-up gallop. Tho going was altogether against topirni"hts at Duncdin on Saturday. Ronga],o'ro was started twice, and on each occasion ran a great race: more judiciouslv ridden ho would havo jv'pn the Ilurdics. In the Steeples ho lilt himFelf at the second to last fence when looking liko a winner. Tho cut required stitching. Master Hamilton ran a groat raco in the Pacific Hurdles, hut tho weight told and lie died away in the last quarter.' Dionytsiua would havo won much ( , a sjcr at twelve furlongs than at fourX He hit tho sixth and eighth hurdles vcrv hard, and was ev.dqnty tiring. 110 is sure to bo benefited by tho race.

Kamvhcro ™ 3 made favourite in the Brighton Handicap. Ho was always well placcd, but could not win—lie finished fourth.

In the absence of Mr R. H. Aidworth, air J. E. Henrys acted as judges at "V\ in££&t>ui on Sflturdfly* ■ San Sebastian got a very bad run in tho Brighton, and then finished well up, Antiope took chargo of her jockey in tho preliminary, and then ran a good raco. Glenshire, Magdala, and Silver Spire, who ran in various races on Saturday, are nil out of the same mare—Minaret. Master Stead dislocatcd a fetlock oint two fences from borne and had to > U shot. Ho did not fall, and could lot havo won.

G unrest and Golden King xnfldo &I 1 tlio running in tlio Birtliday. | ■ wore passed at the distance. Golden, (Cine pulled up very lame. Marc An- ■ thonv began well, and was in a good position. He niet with some interference, but it did not alter the result. Threo furlongs from the post in tl.e Birtiulav Marsa was last and had \o » o mo round her field, and then ran second It looked ns if sho must have Von if sho had been better placed m Sho early stages. Aliirco Bello was made a good second '* lavourito in tho Birthday. Jones vodo Sim a great race, and was first juto the straight, but tho colt couldn t sec •{t out. Ho pulled up sore. • McKay, the rider of Gunrest, was .•autioned for using bad gear. ascd a». Spanish martingale which •broko during tho running. '• If Orotonu had boon made moro use of ho might havo won the Steeplechase. The Brewor is not ready; he is just »s beautiful a jumper as ever lio was. ' Rongahere will be a good 'chaser: at present ho is inclined to bo cautious. He jumped short at the water jump wd overreached, and tho cut, which * required stitching, may lay liim by for a tow weeks. Hfechargo should have won the Ota'go Steeples, ami Kirlcby owed his win lo i hiring z more vigorous horseman. Palladio is either off colour or greatly outclassed: ho could never get near his opponent. Hcathcrlea is a beautiful fencer and

knows every inch of his business, but is too old and slow. Mohawk ran a. great race: be was in a good position threo furlongs lrom home, where lie got <i bad bump. King Star was mado a good second choice in tho Tradesmen's. He got shut in tho ruck and could never out. Kilboyno, Sir Malt, and Bon had all the best cf the start in this race, but t'uey were not good enough. Benzowen was chopped back ot the end of a furlong and font bark last. Running on tho outer he finished at a great pace in fifth placo alongside. Sir "Mult, and it looked as if he rould not havo lost with a good run. Tip T"p did not get a very good run j and then finished second. Multoo was showing up very prominently at the homo turn. Sir Hamilton was tho easiest winner of tlio day. Hardshot, Mount Victoria. Placid, Malvolia, and Micky l'reo got all tlio best of the running in tho Winter "Welter, but they were not good enough. Kaminoho lost his rider two furlongs from home, but had no chance when tlio accident happened. Micky Free ivas r. quiet tip in this race, but did not get a good run. M. David, the French Minister of Agriculture, has sanctioned tho holding of raco meetings this season on rather moro liberal linos than last year, although under similar restrictions.

Ono result of tho suggested curtailment. of racing, writes "Glencoc" fn the "Dominion," will bo that the fields will be enormously increased. This ?3 already tho experience in Victoria. To meet the. caso the V.R.C. rules require that when there are more than twenty-five runners the field is to bo divided. Something of the kind will have to bo done in New Zealand, and the confcrenco might well look into tho matter at its annual meeting nest month. At Otaki on King's Birthday there arc thirty-thrco acceptors in one event. Noboay who knows anything of the game can but admit that ful'v half tho field will liavo no chanco at all. The battle will be at tho start, and if the riders fail to jump out well tho majority of them will not persevere with their mounts for fear of an accidcnt, and who can blamo them? Ethel Donna and Linnot were omitted from the list of nominations for tho Acton Handicap in connexion with tho Ashburton Trotting Club's AVinter Meeting. Tho Christchurch correspondent of , •'.he llunedin "Star" telegraphed on Friday: The Racing Conference fiavo not yet complied with the request of the Minister for Internal Affairs that they should submit; alternative proposals for a reduction of racing by onethird and one-half. It is understood that somo communications have been exchanged bc-tweon the Minister and tho conference on the subject. The indications aro that the negotiations, whatever form they may tako, will cot move the Government from their <loclarcd intention. The decision to reduce racing by at least one-third for tho coming season was reached by tho Ministers after considerable discussion, and it appears to hav'o been in iine with a recommendation made by tho Efficiency Commissioners. To-day there will be trotting at Greytown and Canterbury Park. Ribbon Maid was unablo to take her placo in the field for tho Peninsula Handicap at Canterbury Park on Saturday, owing to a mishap when training at the latter end of last week. ilr T. Sheen, the Auckland sports- 1 man, who is interested in several horses in J. Bryce's stable, was a spectator at Canterbui-y Park on Saturday. It is tho intention of Sir Sheen to taiko up his residence in Christchurch. Noticeable absentees from the programme of the concluding day at, Canterbury Park aro Cor* Dillon, Dillon Eddy, Lady Haldanc, Our Thorpe. # Soda, Cathedral Chimes, Auckland Girl, Solo, I rank Tracey, and AriadneIt is quito evident that owners and trainers do not study tho conditions of all races, as on tho concluding day at Canterbury Park Sccond Amateur Handicap, Miss Sylvia, Storm Cloud, Vermillion, and Bell Elmore are all ineligible to start, having previously dono better timos than stated in tho conditions of the race-

Excellent nominations havo been received bv tho Ashburton Trotting Club for their winter meeting, which is set down for Thursday, Juno 14th. Canterburv stables, as usual, are strongly represented, whilo Southland horses.are freely included amongst tho nominations. The handicaps will bo declared to-morrow. Gunner J. B. Thomson, now in camp with tho 27tli New Zealand Field Artillery at Featherston, has re-purchased tlio New Zealand Trotting Cup winner of IDIG Cathedral Chimes, which ho disposed' of at his clearing sale last Easter, and the son of Four Chime® will raco in his interest in this year s Cup. Agathos, winner of tho Plumpton Handicap at Canterbury Park on Saturday, has now placed three big handicaps to his credit in succession. During tho present season lie has won- five races, including tho Forbury Cap, and annexed in stakes £1210.

T. Annott, who is considered, an accomplished horseman on a straight-out trotter, led in two winners in Tho Sprinter and Woodchild at Canterbury Park on Saturday- Both, were little fancied by tlio public, and paid good priccs. Favourites were not much in on Saturday at Canterbury Park, Emilius being tho only one to score during tho day. The winners of tho other eeven paid good dividends. Oakhampton Lodge was strongly represented in the Plumpton Handicap at Canterbury Park on Saturday with Admiral Wood (J. Bryco), Mintson (A. Princlc) and Cora Dillon (F. Holmes). Of the trio Cora Dillon was tho most prominont. and Idled second # pj. This was her first appearance m nrstclass company. I?. "W Frauks, who trains his team at Canterbury Park, handled two winners in Klatawah and Icicle, on Saturday. Tho win of tho latter horse was particularlv well received, as it was tho first race the son of Franz has won to date. Ho has been m second placo on several occasions.
