Acceptances for the South Canterbury Jockey Club's Summer Meeting will close on Monday.

Nominations for the Ashburton County Racing Club's Summer Meeting will close on Tuesday, and for the Oamaru Jockey Club's Summer Meetlag on Wednesday. The Winton Jockey Club's Annual Race Meeting will be held to-day and to-morrow and the Levin Racing Club s Annual Meeting will also take place to-morrow.

6. Murray-Aynsley lias not yet definitely decided his movements for the Christmas Meetings, but in all probability he .will take a team, including Footfall, to the Auckland Summer Meeting. Mr G. N. McLean, of Amberley, will act as honorary starter at the ooutn Canterbury Meeting next week. Since Mr T. A. Duncan purchased Laughing Prince as a two-year-old for 1000 guineas, the chestnut colt has won £6OBO in stakes, and two gold cups, «ach worth £IOO.

Gothic was purchased by Mr Sol Green in England in 1924 for 1500 guineas. During his racing career he has featured in some great betting coups and has won approximately £17,000 in stakes.

Piuthair, who is down to run in the McDonald Memorial at Levin on Saturday, has been off the scone since she ran unplaced in the Taranaki Cup early last February. Poseidon is the only horse that has Won both the Caulfield Cup and the Melbourne Cup. Moreover, ne won both raccß in the one year (1906), he being then a three-year-old.

The Papakura trainer, J. T. Jamiecon, arrived back from Australia by the Ulimaroa yesterday. Trentham tradks have recently been thoroughly waterlogged, And little or no work nas been possible. Satrap was quoted equal first favourite with Trainer for the Queensland Cop, which was run last Saturday,' but ho was not mentioned in the result. Evidently the ex-New Zealander had improved on his _ recent form, for the Queensland handicappers _ have shown hixn .no mercy. In the Brisbane Handicap, one mile, run last week, he had top weight, 9-13, and was. conceding up to 481b to some of his rivals.

Describing the conditions prevailing on Melbourne Cup day, the .''Australasian" had the following:—With rain falling heavily and almost incessantly on Monday, prospeots of a wet Cup day Beemed inevitable. As a matter or fact' the weather put an end to the cricket match on Monday, the game having to l>e abandoned. However, Melbourne is noted for its fickleness, and this week it has started in its best form, for' Tuesday broke gloriously fine, and the warmth increased throughout he day until by the time the Cup race wrs run wo had almost leaped into'summer. It was one; of the most brilliant "Cup days we have ever had, and the crowd that flocked to the course by roid. train, and foot was simply tremendous. .Flemington is the only place in Australia that <can accommodate such a vast congregation., The sdenewaa particularly gay and inspiring.. Inspiration also Kin riot through the vast concourse, and throughout the day, from forenoon .till the end of the progranime, the bookmakers were besieged frith a seething throng of patrons, for most of whom inspiration developed into perspiration. It was a very happy day, and winners and losers got great value for-their money. The course has never been in such splendid order, and the going was. simply superb.

TROTTING NOTES. Acceptances for the Wellington T.C.'s Spring Meeting close to-day. Acceptances for the Forbury Park T.O.'s Spring Meeting close on Thursday next at 5 p.m. Nominations for the Waikato T.O.'s Summer Meeting close on Monday. Nominations for two trotting events at tho Ashburton County R.C.'s Sum* mer Meeting close on Tuesday, and for four events at the Oamaru Meeting on Wednesday.

Nominations for the New Brighton T.G.'s Summer Meeting close on Thursday next. Mr 6. S. Simpson has been appointed handicapper to the Manawatu Trotting Club. The Cheviot Trotting Club has decided to apply for Saturday, April 13th, as the date for its annual Meeting.

The Auckland Trotting Club has issued .the programme of its Summer Meeting, to be held on December 27th, 29th. and 81st. and owners should remember that nominations for all events close on Friday next. The programme is one that should make a ready appeal to owners of good class horses, and especially in the Auckland Trotting Cup a good nomination may be expected. This rnoe is run over two miles, and is for horses that have done or have been handicapped to do 4.27 or better. The race carries prise money to the value of 2200 sovs, while the owner of the winner will in addition to the stake receive a cup valued at 100 guineas. The class is one second tighter than that ruling for the Now Zealand Cup, and several horses at the recent Meeting at Addington, by doing better than 4.27, became eligible for the race. These included Firelight and Vesuvius. Another race that will be looked forward to with interest is the Rowe Trotting Cup. in which horses will be handicapped to do 4.35 or better. This rnoe is likely to draw a bigger field than did the Dominion Trot-

ting Handicap, 4.34, at Addington, and with a comparatively short limit the class should be just as On the second day of the Meeting the Champion Handicap of 700 sovs, one and a quarter miles, 2.43J class, should attract the cream of the sprinters, and the Summer Cup Handicap, of 1000 govs, two miles. 4.30 claw, tnll provide for the proved stayers. On the third day of the Meeting the President s Handicap, of 1000 sovs, twomiles, 4.28 class, and the Association Trot Handicap, of 600 sovs, two miles,. 4.36 class, for unhopplod trotters, will provide the principal attractions. Canterbury owners and trainers are always good supporters of Auckland _ Meetings, and with the big attractions offered this year the representation of Canterbury stables at tne northern fixture should bo stronger than ever. The dispute between the Reefton Jockey Club and the Inangahna Trotting Club has advanced a step ™rther by the matter being referred to the Now Zealand Trotting Association, says the New Zealand "Referee " and the Trotting Club has practically been vised to offer the Jockey l CM* l s ™ of £25 to settle the matter. It is understood that the Jockey have been willing to accept this sum in settlement of the claim had the offer been made. Peter the Great mares are wed ited with three 2.0 trotters Tilly Brooke 1.59, Mr McElwyn 1.591, and Spencer, 3, 1-592- A fourth, Hazelton 2,0J, is knocking at the door. It is self-evident that the trotting industry has changed and kept abreast of the strides made in every business since the World War, says an American writer. We are in a new era. Once it was considered nothing, less than a crime to commence to tram a colt before reaching three years of age. Tori av a yearling can show, with a few weeks of handling, more speed and manners than the finished P ro^" ct ?! a season of old-time training of a colt of Tree. This means a much quicker return on the investment.

' OTAKI, November 15. Tho following acceptances have been received tor the Otakl-Maori Racing Olub s Spring Meeting:— KAPITI HACK HURDLES, of 160 aovß. l|m.

ENGLISH CLASSIC.

WINNERS OP 1929-30. It is generally a case of off with the old love and on with the new in horseracing. As soon as the last classic race for the St. Leger has been decided, and the three-year-old tangle has been partially unravelled, the turf enthusiast promptly begins to concentrate on the leading two-year-olds, and to speculate on what is likely to win the Derby or Oaks, the following June, says the London "Daily Express," of September 19th. Looking Ahead. Owners and breeders, trainers and stud grooms are now looking even further ahead than that. The wealthy owner-breeders are sending the yearling progeny of "£IOO,OOO sires" and famous brood mares to their training establishments in the hope that they possess a classic. winner of IMU. Many of these yearlings will never, however, see a racecourse, but break down or be impossible to train. Others will bring disgrace on their bluc-blood-edness and be quietly weeded out or go tbroad. , . Saracen, in 1926, has only scored in minor company, and Fete, who went for the same sum the year before, is still a maiden. The Prince Aga Khan gave last year privately a bigger sum than any of these for Feridoon from the National Stud, and Feridoon has been sent unostentatiously to France and may never see a racecourse. Prince Aga Khan also gave 12,500 guineas for a yearling last week.

Stamina Test. Meanwhile we are still discussing the ready win of Lord Derby's Fairway in the St. Leger and wondering how he will fare if he ever meets as a four-year-old his Derby conqueror, Felstead, over a distance of ground. Sir Hugo Cunliffe-Owen could have had £IOO,UUU from the Americans for Felstead after Epsom, but he wanted his horse and not the money. Felstead could not be trained -for the St. Leger. Aftre watching the imposing French stayer, Palais Royal IL., and our own honest one-pace, Cyclonic, outmatched by Fairway's final brilliance on the Town Moor, I think instead's chance in a true-run stamina test would still be a great one. M. Jacques Wittouch, the burly Belgian owner of the St. Leger second, is already visualising the Ascot Gold Cup of 1929 being packed up to be sent across the Channel, but even if Felstead is not of a "vintage" class, he is probably more speedy than others or his own age, which could not excel Jiim in the natural possession of stamina inherited from the mighty Australian, Carbine,. and two Derby winners m Spearmint and Spion Kop.

Royal Minstrel. Little Flamingo was good enough to wear' down the speedy Royal Minstrel in the Two Thousand Guineas, and he might have beaten Felstead instead of only running second in the Derby if the race had been run differently, but I do not think we saw the same forceful Flamingo in the St. Leger. Lord Derby might rely more in stamina tests on his staying filly Toboggan, though it is generally conceded that the colts are superior this season. It has not, however, been put to a real test yet. Lord Derby also owns a haltshare with Mr Ogden Mills m the French-trained Grand Prix winner, Cn de Guerre, a colt which first changed hands for a few pounds. Thus the great lottery of the Turf ia carried on; and, withal, the supreme optimism of the true enthusiast, witn money to burn, dictates its amazing strength as a national industry. More than £400,000 was paid for the yearlings which were led round the little ring at the Doncaster sales last week. A casual visitor could, if he had liked, have rubbed shoulders with a score of millionaires from all countries, and watched them, or their agents, nod their bids in thousands. It has not mattered to these apostles of hope that some of their five-figure vearlinc purchases from the same ring in the past have not earned even corn and forage bills at racing.

Stimulating Sight. Tile mere sight of a yearling to men like Lord Glanely, the wealthy Cardiff shipping owner, and H. H. the Prince Asa Khan, who generally says laughingly beforehand that he is not a buyer," acts like "dope." Lord Glanely, who has paid 14,500 guineas for Blue Ensign—a colt that fell in his only public outing had not seen the second day's sales through last week .before he outstayed altogether "nodding mandarins,'Vand caused Mr Tattersall's hammer to fall at 12,600 guineas for a veritable picture by Gainsborough. The vogue for the middle-distance sire whose offspring are generally better up to and not beyond a mile and a half prevails, and Fairway is the first son of the non-staying Phalaris to win a classic race beyond a mile. There are immense possibilities in Fairway s improvement, but a candid opinion is that he will always outpoint any of his age over his distance, but that the limitations of a son of Phalaris will always make one hesitate to give him preference in a long-distance event decided when the ground is holding. It was the same with Coronach, whose class prevailed in the Derby and St. Leger of 1920.

"Ifs" and "Buts."

We shall doubtless be going into many of these same stamina "ifs" and "buts," and wondering whether the prospective best three-year-old of next season will have to miss the first classic, like Fairway did, will get upset and finish down the course in the Derby, like Fairway did, but come into his kingdom on the Town Moor in September —again like Fairway did. Two-year-old problems are far from settled yet, though Doncaster did much to throw light on the situation in its historic race for the Champagne Stakes. Three unbeaten youngsters were in the field, and finished almost together. Lieut.-Colonel Giles Loder's filly Arabella won, but it was generally conceded that Lord Wyfold's less fashionably bred Reedsmouth was unluckf not to overhaul her. He was only oeaten by the length of his owner's exceptionally long moustache, which first made its owner a personality as Sir E. Her-mon-Hodge, a keen breeder of prize cattle as well as horses.

Rcedsinouth is considered the best of many fine two-year-olds, which also include Mr Jinks, at Stockbridge, and Mr Persse may therefore train the best colt that has run so far. Colonel Loder does not enter his fillies for the Derby, but Arabella is already a stronger fancy than Lord Ellesmere's speedy little Tiffin for the fillies' races of 1929. Arabella may then have to meet again Mr E. Esmond'B crack French-bred, but otherwise all-English, filly, Necklace IL, who has gone on winning since running up to Arabella at Ascot.

Tiffin is in the same formidable stable as Lord Dewar's Gimcrack winner, The Black Abbot, who was close up, third, in the Champagne, It is rumoured that there is a better at Beckhampton than Mr Fred Darling has yet saddled. Lord Astor has not changed his luck in the Derby, but his colt Cragadour, impressed good judges on the occasion of his second, at Ascot! to Mr Jinka,

MELBOURNE CUP.

CROWDS AROUND THE WIRELESS. POPULARITY OF STATESMAN'S WIN. (?bom oua own correspondent.) SYDNEY, November 8. One must live in Australia to appreciate the great spell of the Melbourne Cup. Strangers are able to realise in a superficial manner that the race is of national importance, but there is need to get behind the scenes to discover the enormous ramifications of the Cup. People who frown on racing during the remainder of the year like to back their fancy for the Melbourne Cup, and those who are backing horses all the year round usually go one better on Cup day. In every office, nay, in almost every home, and certainly in every flat, sweeps are organised, and it is safe to say that close on £1,000,000 changes hands after the result of the Cup has been flashed over the continent. Statesman's win this year was the most popular for years, consequently the amount of money changing hands will be greater than ever, and the poor bookmakers, if one is to believe all that is said and written, are the only ones who are left lamenting. Certain it is that the bookmakers have been "hit" for thousands, but as they so often win, public sympathy for them is not very pronounced.

The 'Flemington course was at its best for this year's race, and the crowd was as great as ever, and perhaps more distinguished than usual. The Governor-General and Lady Stonehaven were present, and in addition there were five out of the six State Governors. The sixth, Sir Dudley de Chair, is absent from Australia. The Prime Minister (Mr Bruce) was there, looking as immaculate as usual—the best-dressed man in Australia, he has been termed—and bright and fresh despite the strenuous nature of his election campaign. Dame Nellie Melba took the opportunity of saying farewell to many Australians, and immediately after the races joined a boat for England. She expects to be absent for about two years. Then there were the English cricketers, who amended their programme so that they could be present at Australia's greatest sporting event, and the members of the Economic Mission, getting a further insight into Australian conditions. It is stated that 110,000 people saw the race ia the brilliant sunshine that prevailed after a night of rain. The humidity made conditions rather unpleasant, but race crowds seem to overlook such discomforts as they presß and push and scramble in the great, rowdy betting rings. And when such a warm favourite as Statesman won, what did it matter?

It was not necessary to be at Flemington to enjoy all the -thrills of the race—and there were many thrills. The Cup only served to emphasise the importance of wireless in the life of a modern community. Full, descriptions of the event were broadcasted in every State, and Australia stood still, as it were, while the race was being run. In Sydney loud speakers were operated by all the radio houses and by many others, and the police overlooked the traffic regulations as great crowds blocked the footpaths. In fact, the police, just as eager as anyone else to hear the progress of the race, they assisted to block the traffic. One minute after the race had been decided the evening papers were on the street with the result in great black letters, but the wireless has taken the place of these early editions. When a quarter of an hour later, the papers published details of the betting and the race itself, the papers were eagerly snapped up. The result by wireless was instantaneous, but the Telegraph Department flashed the result to Sydney in half a minute —a remarkable performance. Eacegoers who attended the Epping Trots in Sydney were able to wager on the Cup, and then go and listen to a radio description of the race —a facility provided by the trotting club. The betting ring was deserted as soon as the race was timed to start, rind the crowd gathered around the various amplifiers. "They're off!" came the voluminous voice, and silence emerged from the babble of the betting. Such is the age we live in. Five or six hundred miles away an announcer, in front of the microphone, a little bigger than the hand, put into words what his eyes could see, and all Australia listened. As the race was described, and the varying fortunes of the race depicted, bookmakers offered to bet "in the running," and the punters were just as eager to do business with them. It was a remarkable scene made even more so when the announcer said that Statesman had the race in his keeping. The cheers drowned the remainder of the description, and the bookmakers proceeded to pay out. The actual race has been described as one of the cleanest in the history of the Australian turf. Not at any time were any of the starters the victims of interference. It was, too, the supreme occasion in the long turf career of the owner and trainer of the winner, W. Kelso, of Eandwick. Many great races have gone to his stable, but never before the Melbourne Cup. It is of interest to note that he announced some time ago that he would retire if ever he won the Melbourne Cup, which was his greatest ambition. Silver-haired, and of a kindly disposition Kelso is as popular to-day as the great horse he trained with such precision. He has lived to see one of his charges the idol of the Australian public.

ILLEGAL BETTING. BOOKMAKERS' SUBTERFUGES. (united press association—bt electric TELEORAPH—COPYBIOHT.) MELBOURNE, November 15. Giving evidence before a Select Committee on Racing, Mr M. Hogan, chairman of the stipendiary stewards of South Australia, gave evidence that bookmakers were banned there, but had a wonderful system of evading They wore overcoats with false pockets, through which they put their hands into inside trouser pockets ana wrote their bets. The writing was perfect. No names were used. One man was discovered with an elastic band round his thighs to which a pad was attached, on which he wrote bets. The police took n photograph of the pad, which was now hanging in a room m the South Australian Jockey Club. . The chairman of the committee, interjected: "I suppose that is how the phrase, 'under the lap.' originated. —Australian Press Association.

who carries The Tetrarch's colours. Prince Aga Khan has a fine crop of two-year-olds, and I am most interested in the two Gainsborough colts, Le Voleur and Costaki Pasha. The northerners still believe in the flying Boigrey, despite his Gimcrack defeat, and 1929 may again produce international- rivalry, for M. Charlier, the Belgian trainer of Palais Boyal EL, said to me after the St. Leger, "It does not matter, we have a splendid two-year-old which will win your Derby." Hope on, hope ever—they are all bred alike, by "Optimism—Next Time," in racing!.

ENGLISH TRAINER RETIRES HEALTH BREAKS DOWN. The news that the association between the trainer, Charles Marsh, and Lord Glanely had been suddenly terminated has created a bit of a stir at Newmarket (says an English exchange). The impression was that the initiative had come from Lord Glanely, but Captain Lewis, who manages his lordship's stud farm, assured a Press representative that the contrary was the case. "It has taken us all completely by surprise," he said. "The facts are that his health has broken down, and he has gone away for a complete rest. Acting on his doctor's advice, he wrote to Lord Glanely on Friday asking to be re-

lieved of further responsibility. The letter came as a shock to Lord Glanely, who is at present on holiday in Scotland." Mr Marsh has spent all his life among horses. The eldest son of the King's former trainer, Mr Richard Marsh, he was born at Egerton House, Newmarket, '46 years ago. After, learning the practical side of the game under his father's tuition he went to Hungary, and for some years acted as assistant to J. Beeves, a very successful trainer out there. Returning to England he became private trainer to Mr Brodrick-Cloete, for whom he won the Oaks in 1911 with Cherimoya. He served in the war and was severely wounded. After the war he took up a training appointment with Mr A. E. Barton, for whom he won many races. Later he went to Beckhampton to assist Fred Darling and remained there until his appointment in 1923 'as private trainer to Lord Glanely.
