favour of Wamba, who has all the Absurd brilliancy. Wamba has now won five times since being put to the jumping game, and his last-five starts have provided tivo firsts, two seconds, and one unplaced performance.

Kato's success in the Hack and Hunters' Steeplechase on tbe opening day would appear to have been in the nature of a certainty judging by the manner in which he won the Open Steeplechase yesterday, defeating the first day's winner into" second place. Although Rational'had gone .up 31b i n the handicaps yesterday, "he was meeting Irapuka on 81b better terms than on the opening day, and he was enabled to reverse positions. Rational has hardly enjoyed the success that was generally predicted for him as a three-year-old, but he has suffered by having always to compete in handicaps owing to lack of classic engagements. His early form showed him in a very good light, and the handicappers accordingly paid him every attention. His last eight starts have resulted in one win, five seconds, and two unplaced performances.

Creme de Mentlie, the winner of the Shorts Handicap at Hawera, had the rather dubious record of ten "starts this season without once gaining a place. Creme de Menthe is an Aus-tralian-bred three-year-old black filly by Piedmont from Adele. • Income, the Guianforte—Pommery gelding, has been nothing if not consistent sinoe striking form at the Auckland Easter Meeting. Including liis success in the Davidson Memorial Handicap yesterday, the record of his hist six starts reads, three firsts, two seconds, and one third. Equitable, who finished second to Income, is .-a four-year-old bay gelding by Hallowmas —Equitas, and a stable-mate of Tame Fox, one of the unplaced division.

The winner of the concluding event, Crossfire, has been a fair performer in Taranaki, and boasts a real Taranaki pedigree, being by (Jamp Fire from Sylvndale by Sylvia Park from Tottie, tne dam of Crossfire, tuns "being a sister to the useful Egmont Park. Crossfire has won four times and been in second place three times since the beginning of the year.

At a meeting of the committee of the North Otago Jockey- Club on Thursday, it was unanimously agreed not to mak« a charge for those horses trained on tho course, and not owned in tho district, that had been nominated for tho Oamaru and other meetings. This conclusion was decided upon in view of the fact that many of the training tracks in Southland are at present unfit for training.

EICCAETON TBAININCJ NOTES. The plough track was in excellent order yesterday, and all the work was done on it. Owing to mast of the horses-engaged at tli© Ashburton Meeting having gone South not many horses were galloped. Whipping Boy, Counterstroke, Deucalion, Limelight, Contempt, Wartone, Poo Chow, and Tatau Tatau were all given strong paoo work, and went well. Raconteur was too good for Link Up over sis. furlongs in lm 19 2-ss, .while Weary Willie dashed over threo furlongs under a pull in 86 8-ss. Jazz was "given a good working gallop, and Milestone, Sweetwater, and Douce Lad ran half a mile in 51a. Sweetwater and Milestone, who is going short, finished a shade in front of Douce Lad. , Pyjama lasted long enough to head off Sunny Loch at tho end of five furlongs up the hack, the last four of which took 50 2-ss, a .time that would have been improved upon 1 had not three horsea. that were trotting round interfered with the pair gallotoing. Grim Joke had a little the better of Balefire over a mile' in 50 2-Be, end Castellan galloped six furlongs without any difficulty in lm 17 i-Se. He finished particularly irell. Quarrelsome finished many lengths ahead of Hand at the finish of a. four furlong' gallop, which he rail in 49 4-ss. He was slightly lame behind after cooling out. Will Oakland, carrying D. Hall, who will, ride him in the Grove Farm Handicap today, and Who will claim the 71b apprentice allowance, dashed over three furlongs in 86a. Ho-''was pulling hard all the way, and evidently relished hie work.

Kilmoon, who was gallop pd a mile, w»s picked up five furlongs from home b'y .ja stable mate. He was carrySig a featherweight, and after covering the first five furlough in lm ss, ran home nicely in lm 41 4-sb. Kilmoon finished- well, and it waa a gallop to be described as better than useful.

Purple Spur, the three-year-old son of Antagonist and Heatherbrae, who has been sold to a Chatham Island by Sir Geo. Clifford, left for his now home yesterday. ■ Most of the horses .engaged in the Autumn and Grove Farm ; Handicaps 'at Ashburton to-day will bo .ridden by apprentices, lor whom allowances will be claimed^
