Acceptances for the South Canterbury Hunt Club's Meeting close to-day,

Nominations for minor events at the C.J.C. Grand National Meeting and acceptances for the Grand National Steeplechase and Hurdle Bace and Win-

ter Cup close at the C.J.C. rooms at 8 p.m. on Friday next. Handicaps fof tho three races mentioned will be declared to-morrow.

Nominations for the Christchurch Hunt Club Meeting close on Wednesday. '

Acceptances for the Gisborne B.C. Winter Meeting close on Friday. North Island stables had a big innings at the Wellington Meeting, winning nineteen of. the twenty-four races carded. Taboo, Mainspring, Fairy Herald, Imarosebud, and Freeze Out represented the successful horses from the South Island. Boscrea and Aberfeldy were the only visitors from Riccarton to participate in the prize money. Fairy Herald* waa well supported by southerners in the principal fiat event at Trentham on Saturday, and he recorded a very easy victory. The Wash-dyke-trained gelding won the same event at last year's Winter fixture. Kawini registered his first win over country, when he led tho field home in

the July Steeplechase at Trentham on Saturday. Previous to this he had been second and third in the Great Northern Steeplechase, second in the. Grand tional Steeplechase, second in two Wellington steeplechases, and second to Tuki in the Winter Steeplechase at Ellerslie twelve months ago. Kawini .was not nominated for the Grand National Bteeplechaso this year. The Wellington Eacing Club's Winter Meeting was concluded in perfect, weather, and the public, assembled in exceptionally large numbers. Money / was again plentiful and in spite of the failure of favourites .to- materialise, there was another substantial increase in the totalisator turnover. The figures for the Meeting were as follows, last year's total'appearing in parentheses: Tmt day £48,679 10s (£42,524 10s); second day, £39,643 10s (£39,053); third day, £68.978 (£66,395 10s); grjand totals: £167,-300 (£147,973); increase: £9327.

By winning on Duke Abbey at Trentham on Saturday, R. Reed again drew level with T. Green for the jockey premiership, but the latter regained his advantage by piloting Callanmore to victory in the concluding event. T. Green's total is now 73 and Reed's 72. Both riders will be present at the Gisborne Meeting on July 26th and 28th, their last opportunity this season, and their fortunes at the northern fixtnre will be followed with interest. When Aberfeldy foil in the Winter Hurdles at Trentham on Saturday, one of his front-legs was stripped of skin from knee to fotlock, and he also suffered from the kicks of some of the horses following him. Aberfeldy was in a bad way on Saturday night, and his proposed trip homewards had to postponed. The mishap is likely to keep, the promising hurdle performer from racing for many months. It was at first thought that I. Tllsoh rider of Aberfeldy, was badly hurt •when the geb'ing fell in the. Winter Hurdles'at Trentham, but aftor 'treatment he was able to be about again during the afternoon. On Saturday night a medical examination revealed another broken collarbone for tho unlucky Riccarton horseman.

"Pollow form" may he a useful axiom, but it did not work favourably for investors at Trentham. on Saturday, as there were several surprises and many horses improved considerably on their previous effdrts. The publio were thus'well astray, and this is exemplified by the fa t that not one favourite prevailed during the day.

Perle de Loon is to be treated to another spell, and will not assist at Riecarton next month. His stablemate Gaze will come sonth, and his owner hopes to have him back to his best for the Grand National Hurdle Race. If Nukumai is not produced in this race,' Gaze will bo ridden by W. J. Bowdon.

A feature of the Wellington Meeting was the number of horses competing who did well at the .same fixture twelve months ago. King Lu and Fairy Herald repeated their last year's performance of winning the Members' Handicap and Winter Oats respectively. Ka-. wini again ran second in the Wellington Steeplechase, and Tuki occupied a similar berth in the July Steeplechase, an event he captured last year. At that meeting, Nukumai won the Whyte Memorial Handicap, the Parliamentary Handicap and the Winter Hurdles, bnt last week he could not do better than act the role of runner-up in the two first-named, while he was unplaced in the hurdle contest".

The following re-handicaps have been declared for the South Canterbury Hunt Mooting:—Claremont Handicap: Fairy Herald 61b penalty. South Canterbury Steeplechase: Mainspring 81b penalty. — Press Association.

TROTTING NOTES?. Nominations for the New Zealand Metropolitan T.C.'s August Meoting elose at noon on Thursday.

Onyx is' not in foal, and it is possible that she will be put into work in view of a preparation for tho New Zealand Cup.

Escapade is in J. McLean's stable, and will be prepared for the fast unhoppled trotters' eventß at Addington and Auckland. At her best Escapade is a very brilliant performer, but for some time past she has not shown her best form. ■

The well-bred Nepia was submitted to auction on Saturday, but failed to find a buyer.

N. C.. Price, who trains a mixed team of gallopers and pacer.s at New Brighton, may shortly establish training quarters near Bangiora,

P. Riddle, who recently relinquished the training of light harness horses to take over a team of thoroughbreds, Btarted well on his new road, for a few weeks ago he saddled up Sweet Oration, winner of the three-year-old handicap at Menangle Park, and on June 30th he led in Benaroon, winner of the Trial Stakes at Canterbury Park. Up till July 3rd Kiddle had started only three horses, so his average is a good one. Before he was ever connected with trotters Riddle had a good deal of experience with thoroughbreds, and did the riding for his father's stable. Western King, Native Prince, Great Change, and Jewel Pointer, all.trained by J. S. Shaw, will be nominated for next month's Meeting at Addington. Although he has shown nothing exceptional in public in N'ew Zealand, Western King is regarded as a very fine pacer. He will be afforded every opportunity at Addington to prove his worth.

NOTES ON THE RACING.

A Big Dividend. The opening event of the day's programme, the Taiavera Hurdle Handicap, provided a big surprise, both the winner and -runner-uu being only moderately supported.: Quincoma was an outstanding favourite, carrying nearly a third of the machine total, and three times the sum invested on the second choice, Sir Moment. This pair were well placed three furlongs from home, but had no chance with the leaders over the deciding stages. Erin-Go-Bragh, who was well fancied by West Coast visitors, waa the early leader, and piloted the field to the straight entrance, where he was joined by Olympic. These two were well clear of the remainder approaching the. last fence, Olympic landing over the obstacle in front of his companion. The latter weakened in the ran home, and Olympic went on to win by two lengths from Lady Gay, who finished on better than Erin-Go-Bragh, and beat him by a length for second money. Ruby Ring, who finished from well back, was a head away in fourth place. Red Bank, Lady Passenger, Starshell, Sir Moment, and Quincoma followed in that order. Olympic, a rising eight-year-old gelding by Polydamon from the Gazeley mare Gay, was a good performer on the flat, and more is likely to be heard of him in jumping events. Erin-Go-Bragh gives promise of making good at the game with more experience. . His troub'e in flat races was his inability to see out a journey, but his two races at Wellington showed that he has acquired the artQuiucoma struck a fence heavily five furlongs from home, and this Was the end of his prospects. With the exception of the placed horses, the form displayed by the field was only moderate.

Another Outsider. The public received another set-back in the Novice Handicap. An odds-on favourite in Consent being comfortably' beaten by the fifth choice. Historic, a brother to Tarleton, and a member of S. Reid's stable. Consent, Dancing Star, and Historic were at tho head of affairs at the false rail, but when heads were turned for home Consent shot to the front, and was proclaimed the winner, but Historic gradually wore him down, and beat him in the last few strides by half a length. Dancing Star, after giving promise early, fai'cd to act in the going in the straight, and was cut out of third money by Veronese, who wbb three lengths away from the dividend pav»rs. Historic has been a disappointing galloper to date, but now that he has struck winning form he may prove to be useful as a four-year-old. Gold Core Again.

Pangolin was installed a good favourite for the Orofton Handicap, carrying over £IOOO more than entrusted to The Mug and Marjoram. King Mart got badly away from an otherwise" good start, and the first to break the line was Gold Care, who led round the top from Volplane, Grand National, and Pangolin, with the remainder bunched. Before the home turn was reached Pangolin took charge, and led to the straight entrance from Volplane, Grand National, Gold Cure, Carin-

thia, Teri, and The Mug. Grand National was momentarily in iront at the distance, but weaKeneu, ana Pangoun was again in chaige. He and tirand .National were fighting out the finish, when Uoid Cure shot out, and finishing iuii oi runn.ng, won in attractive style by a length from 'i.eri, who put in some good work in the straight, to beat Grand Rational by three-parts of a length. Maui made a promising move .in the deciding stages, but Jailed to go on, .and finished in fourth piace, in front of the favourite, King Mart, and Marjoram. Goid Cure ciaims Gold Soult as his sire, and is trained at Feilding. His two victories at the Meeting were gamed in an attractive manner. Ten appeared very sore when executing his pre.iminary, and was s.ow to get movmg iu the tany part of the race, but he tin.shed in a determined manner. ihe unlucky horse was King Mart, who was last to .eave the barrier, and then was close up to the p.accd division at the post. Canntnia had every chance, and looked to have good prospects at the turn, but faded out.

Brilliant Beau Cavalier. The investments on the Winter Hurdles Handicap totalled close on £IO,OOO, and Aukumai and Beau Cavalier disputed the post of favouritism, with heavy support also forthcom.ng for Ked Fuchsia. The event served further to show up Beau Cavalier in a most favourable light, as he took the lead short.y after the field were on tho way, and jumping in a faultless manner, was never in danger of being overhauled. He led Kauri Park, Jsucleus, Aberfe.dy, and Ked Fuchsia for a round, and entering upon the last circuit, Red Fuchsia moved up. At the far turn Beau Cavalier was well clear of Red luebsia, Mia Bella, and Aberfeldy. The leader appeared to be going back to his held in the next furlong, but when called upon by his rider, approaching the home bend, he again shot awav, and at the second to last fence had an advantage of four lengths from Red Fuchsia, Mia Bella, and Kauri Park. Auerfeidy when in a handy position, crashed at this obstacle, and Kelburn fell over him. Beau Cavalier flew Ihe last fence, and without being at all-extended, won pulling up by six lengths from Red Fuchsia, who was four lengths clear of Gaze. Kauri Park and Mia Bella were together next two lengths am, and the next to finish were Nukumai, Vexatious, Braeman, Nucleus, and Patuki. With his luxurious weipht, Benu Cavalier outclassed the opposition. Ho •> um P«° some of his fences very big, but this did not affect his pace, and he showed ittlo signs of distress at the completion of his task. Red Fuchsia ran a solid race, but was up against his master in the winner. Gazewas ridden a peculiar race, and then filled third place The National Hurdle Race will see an improvement In this gelding, ivaur.:Park, another National candidate, was in the limelight throughout, and should son be a winner. Aberfeldy sustained a bad fall when going well two fences from home, and would have been second but for the mishap. Nukumai wbb a long way back during the first round, and although he improved his position lie was well beaten at the finish.

Easy for Fairy Herald. The Winter Oats Handicap was another interesting race for the greater part of the journey, but the issue was placed, beyond doubt once the straight was reached. Fairy Herald, who was running third in behind Day Guard' and Queen Arch at the turn for home, shot to the front at the false rail, and, revelling in the g»'nß., re<!o i a . e t ! one «°f the easiest wins at "the Meeting, finishing five lengths in front of Queen Arch, who was thrfe lengths in front of Kilmiss. The lastnamed came from a long way back in the straight, and beat Beaumont for third money. Black Mint tailed the field until the straight was reached, but again finished strongly close up to Beaumont, the next to arrive being Huikia, Avro, Day Guard, and Horomea Tho favourite, Taboo, was prominent to tho home turn, but faded, out in the straight. Fairy Herald ran a fair race on Thursday, when poorly supported, but in this event, with conditions practically the some, he was in strong demand. Taboo gave the appearance of having had enough at the Meeting. The second favourite, Avro, never threatened danger.

Kawini at Last. Radiate was withdrawn from tho July Steeplechase, for which, in a fairly even betting pool, Brigadier Bill was made a £SOO better favourite than Kawini. Tuki led to tho first fence, but over the obstacle Comical took charge, and led past the stands and out of the straight from Tuki, Kawini, Passm Through, and, Brigadier Bill. The order underwent little change for the next round, but Comical, as a result of a faulty jump, surrendered his lead to Kawini entering upon the back stretch, and Tuki also headed him. Passin' Through lost his rider at the seven furlong post, and Brigadier Bill fell at the next obstacle. , Kawini was still in front after crossing the sod wall, where Tuki, Comical, and Matu were racing in line two lengths back. Comical was m distress at the home turn, and Kawini was first over the last fence from Tuki and Matu. Tuki gave promise of overhauling Kawini in the run home, but the latter Btayed on the better and won an interesting race by a length. Matu failed to sustain his effort and wag a length away. Comical tired badly over the last furlong and finished a do2en lengths away. Kawini's feat in breaking his sequence of second nlacings in steeplechases was enthusiastically received by racegoers. This was his first win over country, after occupy; ing second berth on eight occasions. Tuki ran one of his uusal plodding races, and made a bold bid to repoat his last year s victory in the event. Matu gave a promising display, while Comical's ability to get round the course was a pleasing feature of the race. He covered a lot of ground, and was cerlninly not favoured by horsemanshin. Brigadier Bill did not jump too well, and was a tired horse when he eventually tipped out.

Consistent Suko Abbey. i The Onslow Handicap provided a good finish between Duke Abbey and Ohelono, the former squeezing home in the last stride, Ronaki, Oration, Duke Abbey, and Ohelone were prominent to the turn, but when the straight was reached Duke Abbey was rushed through on tho rails, and Chelone set off after him. Chelone hoaded Duke Abbey nearing tho line, but Reed, with a final effort, matched victory on the post by the narrowest of margins. King Lu finished on the best of the remainder, and gained third ■ monev, three lengths away, in front of Oatkin, 'Kilmoyler, and Ronaki. Duke Abbey's success was attributed to Reed's masterly finish, as fifty yards from tho line Ohelone appeared to have Duke Abbey beaten. King Lu showed promise In the straight, bnt hall no chance with the two leaders. Catkin was solidly supported, but was never dangerous. Ronaki ran an improved race, and was in the picture for five" furlongs,

A popular Win. The concluding event of the day .was re* sponsible for tho best betting total of the Meeting, the sum of £12,005 being invested, and this in spite of the fact that the class of candidates in the race could not bo deemed anything but moderate. Oi-chus, ft brother' to Ruffles, who won a similar race, tho Petone Handicap, at the Wellington Winter Meeting two years ago, came from the north with a big reputation, and as a result he was the medium of heavy support, but Callanmore and, Markmint were also solidly favoured; in fact, Vindication was the only candidate whose number on the machine did not reach four figures. Orc.hus caused _ a great disappointment, as he was never within striking distance Of the leaders,, and finished well back. ' Meadow Lark, Callanmore, and Inflame were prominent early, and the last-named was first into the straight from Meadow Lark and Callanmore, but was beaten a furlong from home. Callanmore then took charge, and, stalling off challenges by Meadow Lark and Markmint, won in an exciting finish br a length. Markmint was a like distance away, with Greyflnch close up -in front of Inflame and Greymist. Oallnnmore, half-brother by Absurd to Olarinda and Piuthair, • possesses tho family speed, but unfortunately ha la affected withthroat trouble, and is seen to advantage only over a short journey. Meadow Lurk showed plenty of pace from the jump out, but wns unable to flnlnh on In thff nnfa'-niirshle seing Markmint w»s not woll placed m the earlv part, bnt waa gallopinß fast St the finish. Greyflnch showed n Rli»ht improvement, but was not able to handle the' heavy track in either of her races,
