TURF GOSSIP. .Acceptances for the Canterbury Jockey Club's .Summer Meeting close nt 8 p.m. to-morrow. Subscriptions for the Middle Park Plato are (hie at the rnimo timo. Nominations for the Banks Peninsula Racing Club's Summer .Meeting clone on Friday. Nominations for the Marlborough Raring Club's Summer Meeting close on Friday. Nomination* for the New Brighton T.C.'s Summer Meeting close on Thursday at noon. Sagitturiixs's weight in the Halswcll Handicap nt the Canterbury Jockey Club's Summer Meeting is 8-12 not 9-12 as appeared yesterday morning, and Gourmet has 7-4 not 7-1. Motion 7-2 was omitted from the same race. The totalisator return* for tho Dunedin Meeting last week showed n considerable falling-off as compared with last year's figures, tho decrease being £22,545, on tho total of twelve months ago, when tho largo sum of £80,550 was handled as n result of tho Exhibition. In ll)2o tho amount was £85,929, 10s. Tho engagement fulfilled by the Engish mare, Glcntruin, in tho Hnzlctt Memorial Plate nt Dunedin on Saturday, definitely terminated her racing rnroer, and alio wn« left at Wingntui by T. H. Gillott. She will be turned out on her owner's place at Invcrcargill, and will bo put to the stud next season. A stallion has not yet been selected for her. With her splendid record well-known to followers of tho sport throughout New Zealand, her career in the role of matron will be followed with wide interest. The Dunedin Jockey Club intends to make a start very shortly with the construction of a new stewards* stand, and it is hoped to have it available for use at the Juno Meeting. Count flavour did not put his usual finishing dash into his races nt Wingntui, and it is probable that tho strenuous galloping ho has had since Christmas was a contributory factor. He is now to have a good rest from active commission. Rapier has thrown off all effects of the slight injury he received at Duncdin, and will most likely take -his place in the field for the Craven Plate at Riccarton on Saturday next. Nincompoop stayed oh well in his races at Dunedin, and his presence in the Craven Plate at Riccarton on Saturday next will add interest to the contest. With En Route and Radiac under a cloud, the Hornby Handicap at Riccarton on Saturday should he an easy race to win. On Dunedin form, Jolly Glad and Saybnara appear likely to dispute the honours. Waterlow was raced on each, day at Dunedin, buty failed to show any prominence. The gallops may. do her good for her engagement on Saturday n«xt. Eyed Ota, a three-year-old gelding by Clarenceux—To Anau Maid, in J. ■ Huttledge's stable at Wingntui, may be peculiarly named, but lie shows a, reasonable'amount of pace, and will be heard of agaflMn ih?i near future. dainl oThwricho, has had four' et her .progeny racing—Paieatrina, Wink. Jubilant, and Jericho—all by different sires, and they have proved winners, while three of them won as two-year-olds. E. C. McDermott's team has been, strengthened by tho inclusion of the ttottor, Nourmahal. :
