TURF GOSSIP.

Panchito, who is engaged m the Manakau Eack Hurdles at Levin today, won the Hunters' Steeplechase at the Manawatu Hunt Meeting early last month, and on Labour Day accounted for the High-Weight Handicap at the "Waipara Meeting. Among-st the acceptors for the open B is furlong race at Levin to-day is the niue-vcar-old gelding Mireusonta, who has had some good performances to his credit in the past, including a close second to Glentruin in the Stewards Handicap four years ago. Beaumont, who unsuccessfully contested the Cressy Handicap on the concluding day of the New Zealand Cup Meeting, his only start at the fixture, will be well supported in the Levin Cup to-day. Marsham, the three-year-old brother to Battlement, The Cypher, and The Polymnian, has been leased by F. D. Jones from the estate of the late Mr J. F. Buchanan. Eoyal Game is to face the starter ■gain" in tho Levin Cup to-day, and another Trentham trained horse, Lausanne, who ran promisingly at Biccarton, is engaged in the McDonald Memorial Handicap. Both should find the weaker company they will encounter more in their favour than at the recent Meeting. Gordon Richards continues his remarkable successes in the saddle in England. When the last mail left he had ridden 114 winners with a percentage of 22.71. Next to him were T. Weston, 58 winners at 13.66, and C Elliott with 57 at 16.06. Elliott was the immediate predecessor at the head of the jockeys' list, and it was he who had successfully challenged Steve Donoghue's pre-eminence. This season Donoghue had piloted only 39 winners with an average of 12.04. At a recent Newbury (England) Meeting a youngster in J. Martin, of extremely tender age, made his debut as a jockey. There does not appear to be the same restriction on young riders in England that there is in Australia, where an apprentice must be 14 years old before he is allowed to ride in public. Prank Wootton rode his first winner in South Africa when he was only 10 years old. That the racing business in France is in a satisfactory state is reflected in the results of- the recent yearling sales. which must be described as satisfactory. The total amount realised was 16,733,400 francs, the average a yearling being over 73,000 francs, 229 in all being disposed of, there being I'M eolts and 105 fillies. Over 20 yearlings realised more than 100,000 francs apiece, or about £BOO, and of these 10 made over 300,000 francs. There is nothing highly-strung about Trtvalve (writes "Pilot"). On Cup day there was a big crowd in front of his stall from the time he arrived on the course. He took not tho slightest notice, on occasional yawn suggesting he would not fairly wake up until he went out for his race. On the other hand, his stable-companion, Star D'Or, who was in the adjoining, stall, was somewhat nervy, but then English-bred horses are generally affected to a greater extent in that direction than our own. J. Scobie told me Trivalre's two runs did not affect him in the least, but after his Cup win he decided he bad done quite enough for the Meeting. As the V.R.C. and A.J.O. St. Legers look good for Trivalve, his earnings for the season promise to total at least £29,000. Sydney racegoers are already looking forward to a Meeting between him and Limerick in the Cumberland Stakes and A.J.C. Plate. As a three-year-old Windbag won both these races, and a similar performance may not. be beyond TrivaWo, even though Limerick will be a hard nut to crack.

Roiael, the veteran hurdle racer, ran his last race when he finished second to Parupa in the November Hurdle at the V.R..C. Meeting. Roisel broke down seven furlongs from home. With tfck disability, and carrying 12.2, Boise! ran the winner to less than two lengths. Mr R. T. Patterson has decided to pension off Roisel, who established a record for a jumper by winning £11,3415 in stakes. Roisel is by Blankney 11. from Oooyeanna, by Rueriaif. He. won the Australian Hurdle Race on three occasions, and he scored in the Australian Steeplechase twice. Roiael was remarkably successful at Caulfield, but, in his long career, he never won a race at Remington, though be was placed in several hurdle races on the V.R.O. course, inoluding the Grand National Hurdle twice.

H. Cairns intends leaving Melbourne for New Zealand next month. He has not definitely decided upon the date of his departure, but he will arrive in time for the big Meetings at Christmas. He has been engaged to ride Commendation and the horses trained by J. M. Cameron—The Hawk and Merry Mint—in their engagements. Cairns will return to Melbourne in January.

A. Reed, who has done the chief riding for Mr Sol Green for some months, will not ride any of that owner's horses in the future. Reed does not intend to attach himself to any particular stable. When he first settled in Melbourne he hold a retainer from Mr A. T. Creswick. He is riding in good form at present, and was successful on Ragazi at Williamstown this month.

The Seremond—Molly's Robe gelding Mollison is given wide credit for being the best two-year-old that has so far graced the scene in Australia this seaeon. Seremond, sire of Mollison, is a grandson of St. Simon. On each side of his pedigree Mollison can boast of a strain of Bend l>'Or, so that there is some reason to anticipate that he will hare a good record as he ages. Triralve, the Melbourne Cup winner, has won £24,515 in stakes as a result of five wins, two seconds, and three thirds. Trivalve will not race again until the autumn.

Welcome Home, winner of the Spring Plate at Whangarei last week, is an Australian-bred gelding by Baverstock from Royal Beauty that was bought cheaply for 90gns at the Randwick «ues m 1926. Baverstock was got by Maltster from Wakeful, while Royal «*oty is by Royal Artillery. With two strains of Musket blood and an equal number of St. Simon it will be a matter for surprise should Welcome *wme fail to carry his record well beyond the Spring Plate at Whangarei.

When Wiltshire came to grief two en ?2 t from hom6 in the Maiden Huntera Steeplechase at the Waikato Hunt Uubs Meeting held at Cambridge on Day he was remounted by a •P«««ter and finished third. The Rules of Racing provide that in the case of a

horse falling and being remounted by any person should the horse get a place, bis owner is entitled to receive the amount he would have received had he finished with his licensed rider in the saddle. But it is doubtful if Mr T. Wilson, owner of Wiltshire, will :eceive the £2O for third place, as a very interesting point has cropped up in connexion with the remounting of Wiltshire. The Waikato Club is lio'.ding an enquiry, and in the meantime third place money is being withheld. The enquiry docs not concern the owner in any way. Mr Joseph 'Biggins, of Mosgiel, has been appointed handicapper to the Dunedin Jockey Club, states a Press Association message from Dunedin. Mr F. D. McVay, who has been a member'of the staff of the Takapuna Jockey Club for a number of years, has been appointed! secretary in succession to the late Mr R. Wynyard.

TROTTING NOTES.

Nominations for the Now Brighton T.C.'s Summer Meeting close on Thursday next. The Australian-bred Western Voyage has been taken in hand by W. J. Tom- j kinsou. Nominations for the Auckland Trotting Club's Summer Meeting close on Friday next, when first forfeits tor tho Great Northern Derby (1923) also fall due. The sum provided in stakes lor tho fixture to be held at Christmas time totals £15,000. : Ouimet, who has been trained by M. B. Edwards at ialdhurst for some | months past, has joined G. F. Robinson's stable at New Brighton. Owing to business reasons, the Auckland sportsman, Mr D. R. Revell, has decided to give up ownership of horses, and has sold his interests in Sea Pearl, Machine Gun, and others to Mv George McMillan. Unck Bert is one of the fittest horses at Epsom and will strip in great order at the coming Meeting, says the Auckland "Hexaid." Tin, Gold Bell gelding has been steadily on the improve for some time, and has been racing so well lately that he will not be overlooked in his coming engagements. Though he looks very bright and healthy, Peter Dean is not trotting as solidly as he should, and is seemingly as erratic as ever, says a northern writer. A few seasons ago, Peter Dean was a first-class trotter, but he developed bad habits in his races and has not done as well -as expected. There is no doubt that he possesses the speed and stamina to be in the first flight of trotters if he would only do it right. N. C. Price is handling a three-year-old filly by Logan Pointer—Franzie mare. The six-year-old gelding Colonel Thorpe, a fast but erratic pacer by Our Thorpe—Lady Natalie, has been retired from the race-track, and is now engaged in the somewhat menial position of general utility horse on his owner's farm. Another well-known pacer of a few years back in Prince Burlington does his daily task in the shafts of a carrier's cart in CJiristchurch. As on the racecourse, he does his work honestly and well. The movement to introduce night trotting in Sydney met with a rebuff from the new Government, when Mr E. B. Hnrkness, Under-Secretary of the Chief Secretary's Department, sent to the racing clubs the following intimation: "By direction of the Chief Secretary, I have to intimate that the Government has decided that no race Meetings shall be held on any licensed racecourse other than during the hours of daylight, and that the necessary action is now being taken with a view of the requisite regulation being issued to give effect to this determination." Night trotting was to have been carried out at Ascot to-day, and amongst the events set down for decision was the Sydney Night Trotting Thousand, one mile and a half. Amongst the horses nominated were Golden Bubbles, scr, Nimble Direct, 48, Auto Machine, 72, Delavan's Quest, 108, nnd Sheik, 132.

RENT RESTRICTION BILL.

*■ BEFORE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. [THE PRESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, November 18. The Kent Restriction Continuance Bill which was rejected by the Legislative Council early in the session, but which has now been admitted for reel ideration, was to-day approved by I Council on the second modifications having been inserted by the Labour Bills Committee. amendment, aft«rnc g Irom the r th t ° n , of the Artluld be extended duration ot tho ac* ial to Jall,iai y ls ',i; /or a landlord to hTs dwelling-house. In certam circumstances where a landentered into a binding conractttt'aleofthefreeholdofa Sing-house, he may apply to a possession, and it t» satisfied that the contract ettects tne real and genuine sale, the landlord may obtain possession at such date a, the Magistrate may appoint, but within three months of the date of the hear'"ln moving the second reading of the Bill Sir Francis Bell said the Government contended, and it had been shown before the Committee, that in no year could it have been more unsafe to remove the restrictions than in the present year. Never before were the poorer classes in greater danger ot turther charges on their slender subsistence No real hardship would be inflicted on the landlord by continuance of what was at present assured to him in rent under the law. Sir Francis referred to the evidence of the Hospital Boards before the Committee and to the despair that existed amongst the poorer classes in time ot depression. It was impossible at such times to regard the question as a commercial one entirely. He repeated that in no year could the restrictions have been discontinued with greater risk to poorer tenants. Subsequently replying to discussion in which the Councillors justified the manner in which they proposed to vote. Sir Francis pointed out that the Bill still provided that the standard rent of a' dwelling-house should be fixed by reference to its present capital value instead of its pre-war capital value. The Hon. .Mr Coh&n : That is very •satisfactory. . Sir Francis said he feared there would be a very considerable increase in rents which was not altogether satisfactory. He said he would not deny that to a large extent the continuance of the Act was illogical, but it was expedient and there were many cases in which the Government or Parliament was bound for the moment to be guided rather by- expediency than by- strict lopic. The Bill was read a second time.

DR. R. J. TILLYARD,

APPOINTED COMMONWEALTH ENTOMOLOGIST. [THE PRESS Special Service.] • WELLINGTON, November 18. Advice has been received that Dr. R. J, Tillyard. of the Cawthron Institute, Nelson, has been offered and has accepted the position of Commonwealth Entomologist. Dr. Tillyard is at present in Australia and is duo back shortly in New Zealand. Dr. Tillyard, who has had a distinguished scientific career, has become very well known in connexion with his researches into the control of noxious weeds by means of insects under his direction. Very up-to-date insectaries at the Cawthron Institute have lately been erected, and it is hoped to complete the experiments in the control of blackberry and other noxious weeds. The departure of Dr. Tillyard, who will leave the Dominion early next year, although a great loss, will not put an end to this important work. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Hesearch is taking steps to see that it is carried on. Dr. Tillyard was the New Zealand Government representative to the Imperial Conference of Entomology in 1920, and he has to his credit many important publications, one of the latest being a very valuable and comprehensive treatise on the insects ot Australia and New Zealand!. His original research papers on entomological subjects number well over a hundred.
