Acceptiinrcs for the Geraldine Racing Tlub's Spring Meeting aro duo to luorrow. Acceptances for the Napier Park Bating Club's Spring Meeting are duo to-morrow. Acceptances for the Kurow Jockey Club's Spring Meeting ajodue on , Wednesday. Gloaming'g second defeat in. Australia ■will bo read with regret throughout the Dominion, but if has some compensation in the fact *" ; .Vow Zealaiid J ers filled all three ; : ;.<-es in the race:. To have -won under the circumstances' Gloaming would again have to prove himself a super horse, for when defeated by Heroic last Saturday an Ausiraiasian record v.-as established,"and on Saturday something better thiin Was ever seen, at Boseliill would huvo' been required for B. J. Mason's old' favourite to win. As it was Ballymcna equalled tho previous best over the distance at Boseliill and apparently he ! was ridden differently than at Hand-' wick the previous week. On this occasion instead of forcing the pace lie was ridden in behind his field until Gloaiuing struck trouble. Then tho Nassaugelding, apparently at the time going well within himself, made his bid, and' his run is reminiscent of that which lie. put in in tho Great Northern Derby at! Ellerslio, when tho brilliant Bazzlo' Dazzle was indulged in the lead until they turned for home. Then when asked for an effort Ballymena ran on, as though tho race had just commenced. Now that Ballymena has beat*n Gloaming at a mile speculation will bo rife as to the result of such races as tho Spring Stakes, over a mile and a half, and the Craven Plate, a mile and a quarter, at tho big spring carnival at Eandwick. It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr H. A. Knight will amend his arrangements under which Ballymena and the remainder of his team in Sydney wero to be shipped homo on Friday next. On receipt of Mr Knight's cablegram, a reply was sent back expressing the hope of several prominent owners that last year's A.J.C. Derby winner would be left in Australia to gather in some of the valuable stakes there, a "habit" which most of the New Zealand horses who have been sent over during the past decade seem to have acquired. Blaekadder won the Camellia Stakes at Boseliill on Saturday, and established a conrso record of lm 23£s for seven furlongs. G. Young would probably have tho mount, as he won on him at tho Warwick Farm Meeting a fdrtnight ago and is engaged to ride him in his engagement at Eandwick, which includes the Epsom Handicap, in which he is handicapped at Bst lib. Mr W. H. Gaisford's big two-year-old brother to Parody, Mime, was at Dannevirko during the course of the meeting there on Wednesday. He walked freely enough, and seemed to have recovered from the lameness which prevented his racing at Wanganui. Serang is the name under which the Absurd —Moira Machree colt, previously known as Samson, raced in the Avondalo Stakes on Saturday. Billikins is the filly by Lncullus —Gluten mare, trained by P. Davis. The Borneo— Cadence gelding, trained by W. Patereon at Ellerslie, raced as Memoir. A. McCormae, who won the Maiden Plate on Tactician at Avondale on Saturday, will receive congratulations from a large circle of friends on his early success after a trying time in hospital extending from last December. He has been out and about again for some time, but it is only recently that he has become fit to follow his calling. Antomne and Golden Autumn, the bracket which finished first and fourth in the Avondale Stakes on Saturday, are trained by H. Goscomb, who but a few seasons back was an apprentice in a Biccarton stable. Goscomb put on weight quickly, and did not meet with much success as a rider, but since go- | ing to Gisborne a year or two ago has managed to get quite a useful team around him. Autumn, the sire of Autonme and Golden Autumn, is a son of Sir Geo. Clifford's grand horse Autumnus, and was bred by the Gisborne sportsman, Mr D. J. Barry. He is from Edna May IL, an Anstralian-bred mare by Playbill—Puritan, by Positano —Wood Nymph, by Musket—Sylvia, by Fisherman—Juliet, by Touchstone. Autumnus was a great galloper in his day, and has been equally successful at the stud, and now that his merits are being continued in the second generation a fresh family line should spring up which would keep evergreen the name of the Stonyhurst stud at which he was bred. Gold Leaf, the dam of Autumnus, was by Stonyhurst from Golden Crest by Apremont. Royal Stag is another young sire by Autumnus who is attracting attention this season. Another three 35ew Zealand Cup candidates won races on Saturday. These were Gold Light at Avondale, Sunart at Otaki, and Deucalion at Ashburton. This makes ten of the Cup field who have won since tho declaration of handicaps, and several others have been prominent in their engagements recently. Altogether the big race in November bears a more than usually interesting appearance at this period.

ASHBURTON COUNTY R.C.'S SPRING MEETING. The Ash burton Racing- Club was again fortunate, as the weather could not harve been better for the second day of the Spring Meeting on. Saturday.

Notes on the Racing. Cerberus was made an almost even-money favourite for the Kaiaia Hurdlo Handicap, and he won in a cantor. After waiting behind the field for n. mils, lie ran up to tho leader, Flying Master, and when tlio latter turned a somersault at tho lost fence (his rider C. Sinclair sot bad shaking), tho favourite cantered in. Votist fell early in the race, but his rider N. Gray was not hurt. On t-heir form, Grim Joke and Agnola aro not much good. The public made Sun tTp a solid faTOurito for the Ftkixfield Hack Handicap, but their hopes were soon knocked endways, as the Oamaru gelding, who started from No. 1 berth, missed the jump out and was soon last. Ijava., who waa third favourite, got out well, was soon in. a good position and, taking charge as eocn as the straight was entered, she won comfortably, and her performance was a creditable one. As on the first day the win was well received. Chickwheat, who was second favourite, never threatened danger. All the acceptors for tho Ashburton Cup went to tho post, and thay were a wellconditioned lot. Kilfane in particular looked all the better for his outing on tho first day. Tiff was made &. hot favourite,

but lie never flattered his supporters, r. he was nlways nearer last than first. Palesirius. ran a fair race, but Kilfane, after getting a good run to tho straight, was op* of the first beaten. Happy "Warrior. Lucinotte, and Dams Straitlace were fighting out the finish when Deucalion c.vne -with a. wet e«il and caught tliein. H. Burns, rider of Deucalion, -wag suspended for a month for interfering with Palestrina. The public backed Ophir, Ilaweno, a,nd Rich Prize in tho order named, and they filled the places as backed, but Ophir only won by inches, and the placing might have been altered had not Ophir hung cut under .pressure and stopped Kawer.o a littlo. All throe placed horses are useful eorta. Master Peter was made an odds-on favourite for the Longbeach. Steeplechase, and it (was a good bet, for he pulled to the front fever a mile from home and won pulling up. jHo would have won with another lQib to [carry. Miss Garance, who was making her first appear&nco over countrv and is really a nice jumper, came to prief at the first, fence, and Taralga fell at the ssjne obstacle next round, but he was well beaten when ho toppled aver. Blue Streak lan a fair race and would have done better had his rider not broken a stirrup leather. Zeus j-avo a poor display, and although usually a good jumper he lost lengthg at every fence. There were only two horses really well backed in the Coldstre-am We.Urr, Mountain Lion and Te Anau La<T. Both got away ■we'll and Mount&in Lion was beaten on his merits, and though Te Anau Lad won, 1' was not an win, as he had to l>c hard ridden to get home. It was a popular win. Though not a big colt, Te Anau Lad can stay, n.nd later on, all going well with the 6 on of G;iy Lad and Te Anau Maid, he will win handicaps. Fresco showed his old failing by starting slowly. A horse that surprised was Zero Hour, who, after coming ■into the straight last, ran fourth. The 'going was too hard for him perhaps. Axtel was tho only withdrawal from the Melrose Trot Handicap, leaving eighteen starters. Speculation was brisk. blaster Don was favourite, with Direct Tod, Auto, Meg&la, and Tho)ma Pointer tho be>st backed of tho others. The start, was good, but in the first furlong more than one competitor broke and several horses suffered interference. When the field settled down, the leaders comprised Lvonwood, licx Minto, and Rufine, Master Don, and the final issue practidally confined to thi s division. At tho entrance to tho straight Lyonwood looked a winner, where Master Don put in h:s claim and won with a little in Land Lvonwood and Rufins, tho next to finish being Auto, Hex Minto, and Night Light, while Kelly Dell, Jingal, and Megala, who raced prominently on the first day, were outclassed. The favourite, Master Don, paced a better race than ;n the Melrose Trot on the first day, when he hit his knee and foroko repeatedly, but ho was fully extended, to beat Lvonwood. who wa p one of t.io outsiders of the field. The Ashburton-owned and trained filly Kufinc, by Brent Locanda from Aiken, finished third. She looked backward, and should improve with, racing. ■Songbird waa made a, solid favourite for the Farewell Handicap, and ho duly won, but lie was. perhaps unlucky as, drawing No. 7 in a seven horse race, he began smartly enough to get a slight advantage, and, chopping in, ho threw the Test in disorder, and was racing second before going one hundred yards. Clareina got the worst of the clash, but among others The lj.arp suffered. Ho, however, made up his ground, and entering the straight Had a royal chance, tli&t "was spoiled "by liis fiaddlo slipping'. A3 it vara, Metcalf, after having a most uncomfortable ride on Tho Harp, was only beaten for second place by Moorland. Songbird won comfortably and Moorland ran a much, better raco than on the first day.
