Nominations for the Great Northern Steeplechase, Great Northern Hurdles, Winter, Steeplechase, Cornwall Handicap, Eng"Gebrge Handicap, and Tort "Welter Handicap at the ; Auckland R.O.'s Winter Meeting, close to-mor-row.

Acceptances ,for the Marlborough R.G.'s Autumn Meeting close to-mor-row.

The Hawke's Bay Meeting will be concluded to-day, when the J. D. Ormond Memorial Gold Cup will" he decided. This is a mile weight-for-ago event, with a sliding scale of penalties for winners.

The first of the English classics, The Two Thousand Guineas, was to have been decided in England yesterday, and the result should be known in New Zealand this afternoon. There had been little comment on the .three-year-olds up to the time the. last mail left England. The One Thousand Guineas will be decided to-morrow. The South Canterbury Jockey Club has every reason to be pleased with the acceptances received for its Autumn Meeting, which opens to-morrow. Eight good handicap horses have bech left in the Timaru Cup, the three-year-old colt Songbird occupying the post of honour, and being asked to concede weight to six older horses. Another three-year-old, in Whipping Boy, is more favourably weighted .and as ho is an r improving* sort, should give a. good, account of himself with 7st 9lb. _ Ten useful sprinters have been, left in the Smithfield Handicap, of whom Deucalion, Red Hind, and Pyjauia appear a likely trio.

Tho minor events have all an interesting appearance, and winners may prove rather difficult to find. Those

that appear well placed are QuarrelSome, Roniform, Sonny, Warhayen, TJnio. Sungleam, aud Mazarua.; There will be a special train from Christchurch on both days, leaving at 7.55 a.m., and returning from Timaru at G. 35 p.m.

There was a particularly bad mix-up at the last hilrdlo iii the Kingston Hurdle Handicap at Hurst Park on Saturdav, March 11th. Pennant fell while leading, and bro-ight down Llanaarren and no fewer than five horses fell over the pair. A particularly nasty looking melee ensued, and it was thought that one or more of. the jockeys would bo killed. Four escaped with a shaking, but three had to be taken to hos.pital, though only one was hurt at all seriously, and he was well on the road to recovery when the mail loft. This 'was A. Smith, who is better known as-a-flat race jockey, and who elected to ride Dominion in-preference to Grand Parade in tlio Perby.

Music Hall, the Grand National winner, camo into prominence the same .afternoon by winning the big steeplechase, a four-mile evont. Ho made a particularly good showing, and defeated Garryvoe comfortably. On account of this good performance L. B. Rees was engaged to ride him in the big Aintree event. ; With less than a fortnight to the time for the decision of the Lincolnshire there was practically no real market on that event. Granely had -just been mentioned for the first time, and , although he was quoted some poiuits shorter than Pharmacie, his stable companion-, more business was ; reported about tho latter. Monarch was fairly well supported, while of Highlander, Soranusy and Roman Bachelor, who were nominal favourites, the cable informed us that Soranus. did not start. Roman Bachelor was third, and lander unplaced. •" ! W, Saxbv, who 1 was one of the best- • known je'ekeys in England, died on March. 13th, after a. long illness. Although never actually in tho first flight, fcSaxby was a very capable horseman, and rode for some of tihe'most influen-ti»l;--'nienA^^''4he.v-Fji«lish,-'Tiirfv,-'V;He' "failed 'to w-iii aiiy::6f the cTassi£ events, •but «coreuVoh Prince Palatine in the Ascot Gold Cup of 1913, and also won hiß sliare' of the .big handicaps. He served with the colours in the Great "War and gained a commission.

All thtfeejJlaced hoteeis inthe Hannan Memorial handicap at Greymouth yesterday were at oitf> time or. another trained a% Riccarton. Nautical,'the winner, is at present trained by his owner, and on his recent form in (Canterbury his two successes on the "West Coasti should have been well; anticioated. Orange Mart, -a four-year-old filly by Nassau from Martine, has not shown a 9 good form as her breeding woiild suggest, but she won the principal race at Hojritika at XJhristmns time. Cave Rock has an unenviable record of minor placr'ings which Jiave been varied by only two successes. •,

If tne nominations received may be taken as any the, AsMyufton County Racing Club is certain of a sijocessful Autiithn Meeting. The entries are good right throughout, a particularly fine showing being made by both, the hurdle rabea, while, as usual, the two trotting ©vents have drawn the largest entries of all.. Tha Ashburton Can contains the ;hames of Foo Chow) Sunny Lodh, Castellan,' Whipping Boy,. and Twinkle; all of whom are engaged in the fimam Cup to-morrow;.indeed, Timnru form should prove particularly instructive for the Ashburton fixture.

The Newmarket correspondent of the "Referee" wrote on.March 12th: Pole-march,\tho.-St. Leger winner, is about the handsomest horse ; I have seen in training for many a long and' it will be a huge disappointment if ho. does not very quickly prove that his 3>oncaster success was not a fluke,. He has wisely been taken, out of the. City and Suburban, and goes for the s Jubilee. The Epsom course is hot suited to his great stride; he needs a good galloping course similar.,to- Doncasrer and Liverpool. Lembach', our "classic" candidate, has •wintered well, and developed niooly, hut I understand will not run 'before the Guineas.

As anticipated, the Hawfee'B Bay Stakes was reduced to the small fieldoif

four, and resulted in a win,-for Gloaming in the same time as registered by The' Hawk last year. Rapine confirmed hie earlier good form by getting to within a length of the Southern champion, and defeated two good two-year-olds in Highland and Morose. Gloaming registered his fortieth win yesterday, the remainder of his record being four seconds and once unplaced (fell).

Whanoko, the winner'of the Mangatarata Hurdles, is an aged brown gelding by Marshal Soult—Mungamoteo. Whanoko had been unplaced in his two previous starts, but in the six races before them he Jhad been twice a •winner, twice second, and twice third. ' Antler, an aged chestnut gelding by Mystification from Eland, registered his first won for tho season in the Longlands Welter. Antler was placed second to Suspicion at Waipukurau last timo but.

Good Sport, the winner of the Nursery Handicap, is a two-year-old bay colt by Polydamon from Amusement, so a half-brother to that sterling pefcfornier Chortle: Good Snort defeated a smart fieldyestcrday, and in doing so recorded his first win. In his last race in public, at. the Napier Park Meeting, Good Sport was a fair second to King's Trumpeter, with Morose, Gold Light, and Rapine in the ■unplaced division Polydamon, the sir. 6 of Good Sport, died recently, and his death was a distinct loss to breeders, for he was only a niue-y ear-old horse, and beautifully bred, being by the highly English stallion Polynielus from Damiii, bv Diamond Jubilee from Amphitheatre, by Amphion. Although Dissertation has been looked upon as.a useful filly in her class, she was hardly selected to prove a Hawke's Bay Cup winner. Dissertation, who is a !Viiree-year-old brown filly by Demosthenes from was unplaced in the Waipukurau Cup, but she had been dropped 221b in.the weights in yesterday's race. She has been a useiul performer in the North Island hack l aces, and her second to Angelo at Trentham, considered in the light of her most recent form, makes Sir George Clifford's three-year-old more than useful. Tho King Mark mare Sycorax was unlucky in again meeting a three-year-old in form, for in her last raco Sycorax was runner-up to Bonnie Winkle in the Great Autumn Handicap. Anomaly displayed a marked improvement in the Porangahau Handicap.' In his recent races the son of King Mark bas given exhibitions that were too bad to be true, and possibly he went, more kindly for A. Oliver yesterday. Anomaly has shown good form this season from six furlongs to one mile and aquarter. Correspondent, the winner of the Autumn Handicap, is a four-year-old brown gelding by Gazeley from Communique. . Yesterday'n race made his third success for the season.

By winning tho Poukawa Handicap, Sunny Spec made the third three-year-old to score during the- afternoon. Sunny -Spec, who is by Sunny Lake from Kinsale, has won three out of his last six, starts. ,

The following were omitted from the list of nominations for the Ashburton County It.C.'s Meeting:—First Hurdles, irmisfallen; Second Hurdles, Mandrake ; First and Second Hack Welter, Indus; Second Hack Welter, 'Petal 'Dust; Sclma Trot, Dusky Boy and Le Meriel; and Melrose Trot, Dusky Boy • and Bingcnette. At the annual meeting of the Braokenfield Hunt Cluh, it was decided to abandon the annual race meeting for this year. Owing to the excessive taxation, there is nothing to be gained by holding the meeting. old colonist, Mr John Palmer Lennard, of Waihou, near To Aroha, died on Monday at the residence of his daughter, Mrs H. Gladding, of Epsom, aged 80 years: (telegraphs our -Auckland correspondent). Mr Lennard v was one of Auckland's early -settlers. He jvas one of the oldest and best known racing.me*n in Auckland, and had niany successes on the turff ;He first, figged as a racehorse owner over 50 years' ago, and later established a small, at which many winners were bred... Mr Lfnnard maintained keen interest iri racing to the end, arid. was present at the Auckland. Racing Club's-Autumn Meeting, and also- at the first day of the Avohdalo Jockey CluFs Meeting on Saturday. He is survived by Mrs Lennard ana an adult family.
