'■ 0 Acceptances for the South CauteriSury Jockey Club ; s Autumn Meeting dose on Monday, at 8 p.m. Acceptances for the Ellesmere Countv~T.Cs Annual Meeting dose to- . day. (J,ueen March,- by her second in the Xortl) island Challenge Stakes on Saturday, paiied Mermins' record total of 4570 sow. tor the siakt'-eurnings of a two-y«ar-old in the Dominion. Queen M.'irch hns no->\- won 463.5 sovs. and as she is engaged in the Manawatu Sires' Produce States and the ]\Jnn;nvatu St-akos at Awapuni next weelc, s.lie should add still further to her winning account. Queen March has been harder worked than Mermiu for her total, ns already she has started iiiteen timts for six tir.?ts, two seconds, live . thirds, and twice unplaced. Mermin, on the contrary, started only nine times ji-s <i two-yonf-okl. winnine races, his .-010 defeat Ijoiticr an uimcoonntable failure to gain even a place in the C.J.C. Champagne Stakes. Queen March shouht train on into a- ' Tiseful three-year-old. and apart from her actual prize-money she mnst he accounted the leading two-year-old of the season. Tarleton brought bade from Sydney to Auckland by the steamer which arrived last Saturday. The two-year-old was suffering from a bad cold in Sydney, and was unable to fulfil any of hi? engagements. Lord Kenilworth, who dropped dead while working on the Takanuni beach recently, was an Australian-bred Keldiny: imported as a vearling b\ the Hon E. V> T . Alison. He had"l>peu ;, disappointment aa a racehorse, but his sudden death siiKce.sts a weakness wliich may have the direct cause of his failures. His best was prohnbk sec end nlace to KstNnd in the Groat Northern Derby 0f'1917. The yearlings purchased at the Easter (sales in Sydney by X±r W. J. Jorgenpen arrived in Auckland on Tuesday. Thay were sent on to J. Sullivan's stable* at Woodville. Doiran, who won the Great Eastern Steeplechase a t Onkaparinga (South Australia) on Easter Monday has behocome quito a standing disli for that event. He won in 1918 with 10st 61b, and again 'the following 3-ear with list 41b. He was not a starter in the races of 1920 and 1921, but last year h e was again to the fore with 12st 41b in the saddle. This vear, despite having top weight with 12st 71b, he was a good favourite, and his victory aroused the utmost enthusiasm. Doiran, who is a bay gelcwntr bv So]ourner from Hibernian, figured as a£ed when he first made his appearance in 1916. so that he is at loast thirteen years old. The brood mares eent by Mr J G. i £uncan to Sydney for sale averao-ed 260 guineas. Lady Stewart (Be'onTan —Sister Francis) was sold for 500 mii- • , Torquato (Sir ArchibaidArnmta) for 860 guineas; Happiness for 31 0 guineas; .Kestrnl (Birkenhead—Peace) for 30C guineas: and Bonnie Ladv (Boniform— Portland Lass) for 300 guineas; these oerag the best sales effected. In view of the fact that a great lumber of the equine champions of these and other days havo beon bargains of the sale ring, it is surprising that enterprising buyers do cot' pay closer attention to the cheaper lots j This especially applies to Australia and ! JSew Zealand, and the Auckland writer ' Phaeton" has made it the subject of an interesting' research. The 'fo'- " lowing are some of the best horses whu nave carried silk in either Australia or New Zealand,' or in both countries, the amount in parentheses being the price paid as a yearling, and the larger amount their total stake earnings- ■ Eurythmie (310gs), 36,810 sovs; Gloanv ing (230g3), 32,554 sovs; Carbine (620g 8 ), 29,476 sovs; Celigno' (200gs), 27,206 sovs; -Sasanof (400gs), 20,77(eOTs; Poseidon (oOOgs), 19,496 sovs: OarUta (125gs), 17,530 sovs; Woorak (600gs), 16,800 sovs; Patrobas (300gs), 15,057 sovs; Biplane (37ogs), 13 59G sovs; Newhaven (120gs), 13,254 sovs; and Gladsome (lOOgs),) 11,084 sovs. The Trentham Gold Cnp will he the 1 star turn at Trentham to-day. The half-dozen left in are all geldings, and range from the aged Vagabond to the three-year-old Eapine., With the exception of Bonnie "Winkie, the field the best stayers in commission, in the Dominion. Kick Off will ■probably start, favourite, and as he s "svsa decidedly unlucky to lose this race last year, and, moreover, haß been showing excellent form this season, he should be very hard to beat. Eapine is true to bbj breed, has a pull in the weights, and he. shapes like a genuine stayer. Scion will ba' racing over his best distance, but he baa yet to prove himself in weight-for-age company, which applies also to Income, added to which the latter appears not to be at his best. Vagabond is generally regarded as a light;of Other days, while'jSunart may be troubled by the distance in a .' soundly-run race. Kick Off and Eapine - should fight out the finish, with a •l preference for the four-year-old. ~ Excellent acceptances have been Tebelved for the conclusion of the "Wellington Meeting to-day. The club's . enterprise in providing the good stake of JOOO sovs for the two-year-olds in the Pacific Handicap has been well re- ( warded, for a fine field promises to<go' to the post. Three Of the four at the., head of the handicap are Canterbury: owned and trained, and all three are ■ .fillies, A stronger rider" will be available : for Gay Juliet, and she should more, than hold her own with Parody and Owlscombe. Deluge ran a sur- J

! prisingiv good race at Auckland, and I is the best of the Northerners left in. i Given a lice day and the track in fair j order, those at the head of the handicap shuuJd defeat the light-weight I division, the best of whom may be Bugle Xote. but taking a line through ] Parody, ho' should be beaten by Gay Juliet. The Autumn Handicap is another raee with a very interesting'appearance. King's Trumpeter takes the eye as a possibility, while Boadieea, who will probably have C. Emerson in the saddle, must have claims to be con- ( sidered. Although there is a smart field of hacks in the Belmont Handie:iT>, The Reaver should hold his own, as" he raced weR on the cut-up going on Thursday with L'ib more in the saddle. ! V. 7 . I'. Capes left on Thursday for Auckland with the Petereta gelding Temerity, who is engaged in the unhoppied events at the Auckland T.C.'s Autumn Meeting. ! TJi" opportunity of racing at Ric- j carton continue* to be eagerly accepted i by local owners and trainers, and the nomination.* for the Amberley Racing Club's Annual Meeting, to be held oil the Kiceartoii course on April 28th, are | reallv crcod. The entry for tie Amber- ! ley (.*uv> includes Sunny Loch, Boadi- ! ce'a, i<ome Kid, and Clean Swoop—the last-named also figures in the hurdles—i wl'.ik in the open six furlong event are : =!:cb. nroval g« Honors as Limelight, ; Initio Scene, "lion Snec, Will Oakland, i ! The Reaver, and Kilfane. The minor I ! races are equally attractive, and the ; two trotting events, as usual, have their ■ lull measure of .support. A meeting of the Ellosmere County Trotting Club was held at Leeston on Thursday night, to make arrangements for the annual race meeting ntxt Thursday. Air I. iMcGill prcsict d. The at- \ tcution of the club was drawn.to the. < Naming, Act. 1903, regarding the exj elusion of bookmakers and other undesirable persons. The nominations re- | reived were liighly satisfactory, being | the second highest in the club's hisj tory. The total number was 88, and. I the fees amounted to £79 los. Tho i secretary reported that the handicapping had been done by seconds instead of by yards. It was d'ecided to hold ' a working-bee on Monday next to mark out and put the grounds in order. Messrs W. Schafxer, T. Patterson, and I>. Taylor were elected members of the club. . Satisfactory arrangements had been made for a luncheon booth. WELLINGTON R.C.'S AUTUMN MEETING.
