SPORTING.

Kennio is to ride Waimai in tlhe Great Northern Steeplechase. _ Loyal Irish must have gone on *hc right way since arriving in Sydney, for advices reoeived by his owner state that, the son of Absurd has been nominated for tho seven furlong two-year-old race at the forthcoming A.J.C. Winter Mfletmg. Tho last has been seen of Royal Irislb. on the racecourse (writes Whalebone in the "Auckland Star"), J. Williamson having made a present of the hardy son of Soult to a friend in the Pa tea district, and in future the gelding will do duty as a lady's hack. Royal Irish was a great performer on ; ,he turf, his winnings amounting to over £5000,. and at the home he is going to he will receive all the consideration in fcis old days that he deserves. The jockey F. J. Daniels, who was injured when Coroglen fell with him at the Avondalo Autumn Meeting, is still in a bad way as the result of the fall, and it will be a long time before he will be able to ride again. Humnos (Hymettus—P®an), one of th« "breed, was amongst the winners at the Albion Park Meeting at Brisbane on May 14th. Humnos carried 7st 121b, and won the Third Division Handicap, in which, he was the outsider of the field. Humnos is a brother to liyginas, who Won the Kaitoke Hack Hurdles at Wanganui last week. The Wanganui Meeting exacted a severe toll on the list of jumpers, and m addition to Slowcoach, Manhattan, and Munition, who were shot at once, it has since boon found necessary to dispatch Bon Rove and Play Off. Bon Reve was bred at Yaldhurst, and won both tho New Zealand Derby and Great Northern Derby for Messrs W. G. and G. L. Stead. Later he was sold to Mr H. Neagie, of Takapau, in whoso colours ho won several valuable jumping races, including the Great Northern Hurdles and July Steeplechase at Trentham. Encouraged by the success of Absurd in his Koatanui Stud, Mr G. M. Currio, of Wanganui, who has used a number of sires during his connexion witih thoroughbred horse breeding, has gone in for another English sire, and has received cable advice that the purchase made on his behalf is Limond, a 'son of Desmond, sir© of Demosthenes, and Lindal, daughter of Kendal and Sunrise, sister to Spring Morn, dam of Ottorden, dam of Martian and Boniform, by Springfield from Sunray, by King of the Forest from Sunshine, ancestress of so many great performers. Limond raced five times at two years old, and won three times. S. Trilford will not take Hylans to Wingatui for- the Dunedin Winter Heeting. His team will consist of Gamecock, Vice Regal, Macduff, - and Golden Prince. F. Christmas is sending Rada, Kilrush, and Arrowsmitlh. to Trentham, where they will be handed over to J. Goodger. It is reported that in the near future A. McAulay will take charge of Mr H. W. Brown's team. Of the three horses going from Riccarton, Rada (who is a half-sister to Sasanof) is sound,, but so far she has not shown, signs of being any good, while Arrowsmith and Kilrush have only recently, been patched up, and may go again at any minute. Gloaming is being hacked about. Ho is a coarse-coated horse, and is looking very rough. Twelve months ago, when he left for Sydney, he looked rough, but at the same time had done a lot of work, and was forward. This year he will not strip so well when first wen at Rand wick, but he will muscle up quickly, as his spell has not been .long one. R. W. King will not race Demonstrate and Lord'Ashlea at the Dunedin winter Meeting. F. Hanlon has three horses in work at present—Fabrinade, a two-year-old filly by Boniform —Portland Lass, and Hiero, who started work again a few weeks ago after a two years' spell, W. £fol)bs,the trainer of'Palcstriria, is in the Christchurch Hospital, where ho ihaa been operated upon for appendicitis. He is doing well. High Heels, who went right off while touring the West Coast, is showing decided signs of returning to her best, form.
