The club is giving 1700 sovs , in stakes, including the New Zealand . Gold Cup, of 500 sovs', and a y>urse of 100 sovs, for any horse lowering the Australasian mile grass recorcl. The Canterbury Jockey Club is issu- . ing. an amended programme for its ■ Summei' Meeting to bo held on January • 2Uth. Tlie stakes liavo been further inj eroased, but tho conditions remain the I same. The stake of each race will now i read as follows: —Hornby Handicap J £300, Trial Stakes £300. Middle Park I Plate £500, Midsummer Handicap £750, Lyttelton Plato £300, Craven Plate ! £500, Hal swell Handicap £300, and Post Handicap £300, maicing a total of £3250' for the day, and being an increase of £970 on tho amount distributed at the last Summer Meeting.

Peter Dillon 24yds; Midsummer Handicap, Peter Dillon 46yds. Peter D'illon, winner of the Second Amateur Handicap, at New Brighton, on Saturday, registered a good performance by getting to the end of a' mile and a 'half in 3min 33 3-sth sec. The | son of Petereta wa3 one of the outsiders of the fiold, and paid a substan- I ! tial dividend. Vice-Admiral's form was consistent, at New Brighton. He finished third in! tlie Mace Memorial Handicap, on the first day, and by winning the Waimairi Handicap, of two miles on Saturday, in 4min 33sec, qualified for tho New Zealand Trotting Cup, providing the class remains the same as that setf for this year's race. Copa de Oro Jr. raced a long way , below expectations in the Summer Han-1 dicap. On returning to.the enclosure! Mr Bobbins's colt showed signs of distress, and the sendees of a veterinary surgeon, were obtained. On examination! it was found that the _ colt had contracted the strangles. This is most unfortunate for the Riocarton sports--4 man, as Copa de Oro Jr. was under orders for Auckland to contest the Great Northern Derby, but now will 1 be unable to take part in that race. Lindetta, who won the Summer Handicap, had not been successful in win--1 'ing a race for close on four years. He is rising 10 years, .and still possesses as much speed as the majority of his younger rivals. Belmont Chimes gave a fine exhibition of straight out trotting in the New Brighton Trotting Cup Handicap. He is owned by the Australian sportsman,. Mr F. Johnston, who also won with Navarre on the opening day. Our Chum was responsible for a fast mile in the Farewell Handicap at New i Brighton on Saturday, his time 2min i 12 3-6 sec being equal to that done by Lord Minto in the Final Handicap at the Club's Autumn meeting two seasons ago. , The public were very successful ill , selecting the winners at New Brighton , on Saturday, as five favourites in Sally i Dillon. Vice-Admiral, - Belmont Chimes, Hayseed, and Willie Lincoln saluted the I judge during the afternoon. i The veteran trainer M. Edwards was j too unwell to handle his, team at the > New Brighton T.C.'s Summer Meeting, , and A. Hendricksen held the reins be- • hind the Brooklyn Lodge representatives, with tho result that Vice-Admiral ' won the "VVaimairi Handicap on SaEurday and finished third in the Mace i Memorial Handicap on the opening day, ■ and Sir Henry finished second to Lini detta in the Summer Handicap. Saturday was a day of mixed'fortune " for E. C. McDermott at New Brighton. He won the Summer Handicap with Lindetta, was fined £2 for speaking to a person after going on to the trade with Capriccio for the "Waimairi Handi- ~ cap,, the other individual concerned ,bet ing fined a similar amount; and an the \ t-Farewell Handicap had a bad spill, being bruised and cut when Hayseed fell with him. Ariadne, ridden by L. Frost, j came down over Hayseed in the Farei. well Handicap, tut that rider escaped , with a shaking. i Mr H. W. Kitchingham sold Mako- - mako to Mr A. Finlayson prior to the Avon Handicap on Saturday, and tlie Harold Dillon gelding raced in iiis new owner's interests in that event. He was driven by. B. Jarden', and finished second. The principal winners at the New Brighton meeting were: —F. Johnston £474, Edwards and Humphreys £395, L. M. Gregory £315, T. H. Ive.v £222, lies and Young £210. J. Bryce junr. was the only reinsman a to win more than one race at Now Brighton. He rode Marie Uoyd, winner of the Electric Handicap on tho first 1 day, and drove> Belmont Chimes to vici tory in the New Brighton Trotting Cup " Handicap on Saturday. f The horse Nature's Gentleman,' who . has been disqualified for life by the New b Zealand Trotting Association, was taken 3 possession of on Friday night by a re--1 preventative of the Association, pending . turtlier enquiries into the case. 3 A. Fleming left for Auckland on Sat--2 urday with Dean Dillon ■ and Pieter * Timmerman. On their arrival they will • join Woodvale and Wonderland, other - members of Fleming's team that raced 1 with success at the Otahuhu T.C.'s J Spring Meeting. * Mr H. Brinkman has been appointed handicapper for tho trotting events at the Tuapeka J.C.'s annual meeting. Borodino's weight in the Waikiwi Handicap at the Southland R.C.'s Sumi mer Meeting is 9.7.' ' Permission has been granted by tlie t Dunedin Jockey Club for an aeroplane carrying Mr J." Pi Murphy, of Timaru, (the" owner of. Almoner), and a friend to alight oil the Winga-tui racecourse on 'Boxing Day. The ancient Awahou has never looked back in his preparation since the Winton J.C. fixture last month and 'is galloping well on tlie Invercargill tracks. He will contest the hurdle races at tho Dnnedin Jockey Club's Summer Meeting and will be ridden by L. S. Smith. Trainer G, McLean, of Invercargill, has received an addition to his string in the six-year-old mare Ballarina. Ballerina/ who was possessed of an unsightly hock when purchased by Mr W. Kennedy, of Otautau, at a sale of Mr J. C. N. Grigg's horses last season, has now recovered from her injuries, probably caused by coming in contact with a wire fence. She was tried out on the B.R.C.'s plough track on Thursday morning last and moved along'in anat-

The well-known jockey will probably make his debut with a pacer in tho south in the Electric Saddfe s Trot at the Southland Racing Club's Summer Meeting. It is reported from tho south that the veteran galloper Rorke's Drift is training on in a satisfactory manner. The veteran will probably make his re-ap-pearance nt one of the holiday fixtures, hut he can hardly be expected to strip at Ms best for some time to come. HEAVY DAMAGES AWARDED.
