TROTTING NOTES.

Mr Geo. Paul, of Auckland, has been appointed handicapper to the Timaru Trotting Club.

J. McLennan will drive Eleear in the Dominion Trotting Handicap to-mor-row.

It is stated that all is not well with the Derbv filly Muriel de Oro She worked verv attractively on faaturday morning at Addington, but later one of her legs filled. Her engagement is not till Thursday, so she may yet bo quite ready to give of her best.

B. Jarden has effected a great improvement in the trotter Maxegin within the past few days and the American horse appeared quite sound when worked last on Saturday morning Earlier in the week it looked doubtful as to whether Margin would stand a preparation, With the New Zealand Cup to bo decided to-morrow interest in the race is increasing aud the prospects of a great contest are of the brightest. A few weeks ago the race was generally voted a good thing for Padlock, but reports from Oakhampton Lodge concerning Ahuriri earned that horse a lot ot support, and this was increased by a sterling work out over a mile and a half at Addington on Friday. In the meantime Great Bingen, by a promising effort at Greymouth and a sterling task over a mile and a quarter at Addington on Thursday last, name very prominently into the picture and tomorrow he will have hosts of friends. Prince Pointer has been gradually returning to his best form and on Thursday and Saturday he gave great displays. From being one of the outsiders of the field when the handicaps were declared Prince Pointer gives promise of being a very well fancied horse in to-morrow's Cup.

Peter Bingen, who had receded in popular favour ft« a result of two very moderate displays at the Greymouth Sleeting, has been showing a return to his best form, and on Saturday fairly and squarely beat good horses in Talaro, Queen's Own, and' Jewel Pointer over a mile and a half. P6s-t sibly another half-mile would have found hint out, but up to the distance he was asked to go ne was certainly superior to the others. Then there is Talaro, who will carry the confidence of his trainer, F. Holrnes. Talaro has come through a solid preparation and on Saturday morning he put up a very satisfactory effort. He covered a bit more ground than the others, his trainer considering that he wanted something like real work to do. There was nothing wrong with Talaro's effort and he, will have to bo considered for the Cup.

Terence Pillon, who will be driven by J. MoLennan, has come through a very solid preparation and his connexions are quite confident that he will run a great race, and though Jack rotts has had a slight interruption in his preparation %e will probably bo ready to do his best. No previous Cup has been contested by so many proved good horses and no previous race has borne a more open appearance.

Messrs U. Matson and Co.'s annual Carnival Week sale of trotting and pacing stock ,will be held on Monday, November 13th, in Tattereall's Horse Bazaar, Cashel street, Starting at 9 a.m. Already for this sale some excellent brood mares and foals are entered and young stock by Guy Parrisb (imp), Brent Looanda (imp), Harold Dillon (imp), • Author Dillon, and The Triumph (imp) will be offered.

ADDINGTON TRAINING NOTES.

CUP HORSES IN ACTION.

A good deal of interest was taken in training operations at Addington on Saturday morning, when fine weather and the preserice of a number of visiting horsS* encouraged a good attend, ance of spectators, In addition to the work; accomplished by a strong team of horses from F. Holmes's Riocarton stables, a number of North. Islanders added interest' to the proceedings. The tr«oJ« was iti good order, and the training quite the most interesting that has been witnessed at Addington for some time. F. Q, Holmes was the first to work and he sent St. Maura and Laplander a, smart test over a mile and a quarter. St. led throughout, and the work of both horses was distinctly pleasing. A good deal of interest centred in the appearance of the two Derby candidates Muriel de Oro (F. G. Holmes) and Sonoma Child (F. Holmes), who were sent a mile and a quarter with Harvest Child (M. Holmes). The pace which was set by Harvest Child over the first mile was not fast, but the trio brushed over the last quarter at a merry pace, finishing together. Both three-year-olds showed plenty of dash when asked for an effort, and there was nothing between the pair. Another Derby nomination in Hinkler (W. J, Tomkinson) was accompanied by Tonio (J. Tasker) in a workout over a mile and a half. They were worked well in the centre of the traok, were not out for fast time making, and finished together. Elaear (0. Dunleavy) and Young Blake (W. J. Tomkinson).showed a lot of speed in a race over a mile and a half, the last four furlongs especially being run at * fast pace. Both went the journey without the semblance of a mistake, but just after passing tho post Young Blake went in the air. He does not often make a mistake like this, and it was only when being stead. ied that he mixed his gait. Vesuvius (V. Alborn), without the hopples, in company with Kola Boy (N. L. Price), worked a mile and a half pleasingly, and Nourmahal (E. C. McPermott) went a similar distance very attraotively. This mare is trotting in good Btyle at present. Fight Ever (B. R. Kennerley) showed a torrent of speed in a dash over a mile in saddle, and he may prove a payable proposition when stepped out with the weight up.' Jewel Pointer (J. S. Shaw) conceded a start to Peter Bingen (J. J Kennerley), Queen's Own (F. 6. Holmes), and Talaro (F. Holmes) in a rousing work-out over a mile and a half. From the start, Peter Bingen hit the front. Queen's Own trailing with Talaro on the outside. Peter Bingen led throughout, covering the first two furlongs in 84, the half mile in 1.6, six furlongs in 1.40, a mile in 2.13, and the full journey in 3.18, At the entrance to the straight, Peter Bingen was going along nicely, and though the other trio were hustled along they failed to make any noticeable impression on him, and he won handily a couple of lengths ahead of Queen's Qwn and' Talaro. with Jewel Pointer a length further away. All the horses worked pleasingly, especially Peter Bingen, who led throughout, and Talaro, who covered more ground than the others. Another good bit of work was accomplished by Jackie Audubon (J. J. Kennerley), Acre (B. Jarden), and Native Prince (J. S. Shaw). Native Prince, who worked without the hopples, and was conceded a good start by the other pair, gave a fine exhibition, and led throughout, the others making no impression on him. It was a pleasing performance by the Aueklander, who will carry heavy support in any race he, contests at the Meeting. Logan Chief (M. Holmes), pacing in his best style, easily held Bonny Logan (F. Holmes) at the end of a mile and a quarter, a very smart pace being set

over the last quarter. Logan Chiefs form was impressive. Dalmeny did Btrong work and Golden Devon (V. Alborn) and Trimmer (D. Bennett) worked two miles, the pace j being slow over the first mile. The I last half mile was run at a good clip, Trimmer holding the advantage from Golden Devon, who was eased up. The Abbey (J. S. Shaw> and Amans (S. M. August) greatly pleased by the manner in which they completed a mile and a quarter task in good time. The former appears particularly well. Prince Pointer (W. J. Tomkinson) and Logan Park (C. Dunleavy) were watched ivitb interest as they worked two miles, the right-handed way of going. Prince Pointer conceded his companion a couple of seconds start, and over the first mile Logan Park was indulged with the lend. Tha horses were on terms as the last round was commenced, and over the last half mile Prince Pointer was sent along in real earnest, and held a good advantage at the finish. The two miles was covered in the excellent time of 4.27, and as showing that the pace was not on in the early part it is only necessary to state that'tlie first half mile was run in 1 10 and the last mile and a halt in 3.17, the Dace being cracked on over the concluding half mile, winch was covered in 1.4. The Cup horse pulled "Vaxegin (B. Jarden) displayed little signs of soreness when working two miles and save a fine display. Nelson Boy (T. G. Fox), Our Lady fE Berrv), and Audomimon were comUnions 'in a mile and a half ™rk-out Nelson Boy and Our T-ndv . trotted stendilv throughout and fi"» he, M°eether ahead of Audomimon, who broke during the running, MELBOURNE NOTES.
