Kicearton on Saturday morning. Most interest was centred in the efforts of the horses to race ■« Wellington this week but these were restricted to useful gallops only without anything ouistandina in the matter ©f time. The Chokebore trio. Sudden Storm, Full Feather, and Hurly Burly were sent over six furlongs at a strong pace. Limerick and Paquito covered five furlongs comfortably m 1-3. In me opinion of track-watchers the former is a stone better horse than at this .8 age last year. He is looking the picture of health and has not had a set uach of any kind since ha resumed active Work. Honour ran over three furlongs, finishing better than Jaleuac. A definite date has not yet been fixeJ For 1. v ■ Mason's departure, "Inch inav bo relayed until the end of August. Marsham and Belcaire strode over ■even furlongs, the last six in I.lb *-?• Arikiwai was given a sprint over three furlongs. He was lame, belore the gallop but pulled up satisfactorily. He is, however, a doubtful visitor to Wellington.

Nightniarch was under restraint to gallop fiv-o furlongs in 1.9. He has furnished into a most attractive looking horse and should have a profitable four-year-old career. He may not. tackle the big handicaps during tfc3 •oming visit to Sydney, but be re#erved for we-ight-for-age events. It. Reed has been engaged to ride him throughout the trip. The upstanding risina. three-year-old Btorra Raid, in Mrs J. Campbells stable, promises to do well next seaaon. He has been given plenty of time to finish growing and is now one or the biggest horses in training; at Rjcearfcon. He showed encouraging form in a gallop with Grand Song on Saturday and gave indications that ho will master a distance of ground later. Aberfeldy (E. Shaw) and Gala Day (I Tilson) were associated in an interesting round of the hurdles at lliocarton on Saturday. Gala Day was inclined to rap some of his fences, but Aberfeldy gave a dashing display, outjumping his stablc-mato and covering the circuit in fas! lime. Silver Paper was given a sprint over lialf a mile at R it-carton on Saturday, executed in 52- Ho is in good order at present, and will not require much fast work to get him back to racing trim Bulolo again galloped well over half » mile at Riccnrton on Saturday. He will bo ridden bv R. Beale at Irenjlhain

Magna Cliarta hai not made the proJjreas anticipated since ricking his shoulder recently, and it is probable bo will be given a rest from the tracks for a while.

Zeuxis (E. Shaw J nud Gay Jim ((*. iSalt) wore responsible for a pleasing exhibition over " four hurdles at Ricearton on Saturday: the latter especially showing splendid form. 1\ V. Mason received a cable last Week from G. Young, now in Sydney, utating that no serious results followed his fall in Queensland, and ho hoped to I>6 soon about again. Radiao (E. Shaw) negotiated two round* of the steeplechase country at Biormrton on Saturday, giving a care4ul but satisfactory exhibition. Wrigley and Martian Spear, who aro due to race at the South Canterbury fixtures this month, executed a useful gallop oyer six furlongs at Riccarton on Saturday. The latter has only faced a starter on four occasions, winnme his aecond race, and has not been produced for eighteen months, owing to snfferinp from internal ailments. He is right again now and some good races •hould come his way later. Although Uralla was not accepted for the Wellington Steeplechase, there is little the matter with the Great Northern Steeplechase winner. Recently she injurwd a leg, and it was deemed advisable to give the Trentham Meeting a miss. It is probable that Uralla will be on hand, all going well in the interim, for tho Grand National next jnonth.

Kick Oft" is now being worked at CJreenmeadows. The move from Hastings was taken on account of the good Mils around the Greenmeadowa district giving him the opportunity of plenty of climbing. Granted he improves on his race,at Hastings, Kick Off, who was foaled as far back as 1918, will have to be taken into consideration if he visits Trentham this month.

Merry Mint at Hastings on Saturday galloped a mile with that disappointing performer Curtsey, and there was little to choose between the pair at the finish. Merry Mint since being placed in work last summer has never shown a •ambiance of his Australian three-year-old form (reports a Hastings track Watcher).

Olengariff has been a most consistent performer this season, and he will have friends in his engagements at Trentham next week. After finishing third in the Okehu Hurdles, one mile and three-quarters, in the spring at Wanganui, lie occupied n similar position to

Horomea in the Hack Hurdle race at "Warerley. He won both hurdle events at the Taranaki Christmas fixture and liver being unplaced on the first day of the Egmont Summer Meeting finished second to Atareria in the Okaiawa Hurdles on the second day- He won the Okoke Hurdles at the Taranaki Summer Meeting and was second to Elicit in the Westmere Hurdles at Wanganui. Airtight beat him at Opunake in March and he was nor- raced till the Egmont Winter Meeting, when he beat Mister Gamp m the Tongahoe Hurdles. failed m the Century and Mar Hurdles at \\ anganui, which were his last starts. Altogether he has won four hurdle events this season, been second on a similar number of occasions, third once, and unplaced three times out of a dozen starts —a pretty useful record. His win over Mister Gamp at Egmont last Mav should not be over-rated. Mister Gamp was asked an impossible task on that occasion and should have ceen the winner. At the WeUiiigion Meeting uveiye mouths ago Marjoram ran second m the Seatoun Handicap, seven furlongs. Going on to llicearton the following month, he captured the Summer Handicap, one mile, in which he defeated Pangolin and Solfello. At Warerley last week Marjoram finished third in the Kohi Handicap,which indicates that he is coming back to lorm again. He is engaged in several hack events at Tretitham this week, and is sure to command good support in any race that he contests at that fixture. Though Roman Abbey has been allowed to drop out of his engagements at the Wellington Winter Meeting, he may be found among the contestants at R teen Hon when the Canterbury Jockey Club's Winter Meeting comes round in August. The chestnut gelding figures in the New Zealand Grand National Steeplechase, New Zealand Grand National Hurdle Race, Beaufort Steenlechnse, Lincoln Steeplechase, and the Svdenham Hurdle Race. Elicit, who had been freely nominated for Wellington, will not make the trip, the poundages allotted the Elysian gelding not finding favour with his owner, and the gelding is not to be persevered with (says "Binocular"). I* certainly looks on the face of performances that Elicit was by no means leniently treated by being put on the same mark as Mister Gamp in the Trentham Buid'es and within 3lb 01 the chestnut in the Winter Hurdles.

TROTTING NOTES.

Tli. mor'" ly meeting of the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association will be held in Wellington to-day. The annual meeting of delegates to the New Zealand Trol.ing Conference will be held in Wellington to-morrow. A colt foal by Real Guy from Karriewood, while playing in the paddock at Santa Rosa Farm, recently received verv bad injuries. While galloping about the paddock the youngs, ter charged into a fence and lifted about six inches square of skin. A. Hendrikson had to put about a dozen stitches in the wound and the colt is getting along nicely. A. Hendriksen h. disposed of a two-year-old gelding by Real Guy from Mindful to a Nelson sportsman.

There is already a big gathering or trotting men in Wellington for the annual meeting of the i\ew Zealand Trotting Conference, and it seems that this year's'fixture will be more protracted and will give rise to more discussion rhan any previous meeting. Delegates have evidently made a close study of the remits to be presented, and while a great number have been instructed by their clubs to use their own discretion on all matters, a number have been given definite instructions regarding support or opposition. It is expected that the remit concerning the abolition of the New Zealand Trotting Association and the institution in its place of District Committees will be brought on early in the proceedings, and in the event of the remit becoming law a*number of other remits will be withdrawn. A number of the southern club's representatives will vote for the abolition of the Association, But it is doubtful whether a twothirds majority will be attained. Another remit that is bound to cause a lot of argument is one concerning handicapping. It seems that there will be strong opposition from country clubs, especially from the West Coast, and it is understood that a meeting of country club delegates will be held in Wellington this morning to discuss the position. A prominent West Coast official has circularised some of the country clubs, and it is likely that the combination may prevent from being carried a rule that seemed likely to improve i rotting a good deal. It was a rule introduced mainK- for the benefit of country clubs, and the combined opposition to it is hard to understand. Pasengers by the Wahine from Lyttelton to Wellington on Saturday inI eluded Messrs H. F. Nicoll, F. RobilI Hard, J. B. Norris. C. M. OHivier, J. H Williams, B. J. McKenna, J. Lilico, J. R.

TRENTHAM TRACK NOTES.

[THE PRESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, July 7. The weather was clear and cold for trainnig work yesterday morning. The inside of the trial grass gallop was open for horses going fast, and provided soft going. There was only one schooling bout over the steeplechase coarse proper. Historic and Eoi de Val were the first, to work and they ran calf a mile well in 52. Fainting was no use to Royal Came over the came ground in 52}. Rory Mor ran seven furlongs and picked up by Handsome at the six camo home in 1.221. Fairy Herald worked twice round on the sand at a strong pace. Town Bonk was given a similar task, moving very scratchily until he got warmed up. Gold Cure (A. Hobson) ran right away from Cerf (N. 0. Trillo) over six furlongs in 1.20J, the last half in 52J. Little notice oan be taken of Cerf's display, as he was in one of his mulish moods. Gold Curs on the other hand shaped very pleasingly, going particularly well throughout ,and putting up good time, especially as they went almost from a stand. It was a first-class gallop. Last Crust (E. Manson) and Tcheka (A. Jenkins) finished together over six furlongs at a good strong pace. Lady Kene and Otaura Lass ran half a mile in si> 1-5. Brigadier Bill (F. Corlett) worked at a trot twice round on the sand. He looks very fit and well. Fabriano (D. O'Connor) worked steadily over a round. Tourist and Mangaharei, on the sand, ran five furlongs in 1.8. Juggle (A. Hobson), Marjoram (E. Stanway), and Money Mine (A. Jenkins) ran five furlongs In 1.7, the last half in 53. All wect nicely, Juggle giving an attractive display. Maori Boy (E. Manson) did a steady task. This Aucklander is a fine-looking horse, and is evidently in prime condition. King's Guard, Tinakoa, and Taku Tama ware on the courise but were not stripped. Black Mint and Modern galloped seven furlongs, the last six in 1.26, both finishing well. Mark Time sprinted down the straight. Inferno (N. C. Trillo) jumped three of the schooling hurdles in good style. Comical (H. Burt) and Tresham C. Trillo) kept together over three hurdles, and Comical afterwards went over the same threo alone. Comical is in better condition than he was when he was beaten at Hastings. Taneriri was a bit better than Apache at the end of six furlongs in 1.25, the last halt in 55. Elysianor (E. Stanway) jumped three hurdles well, Prince Lu (B. Syme) doing likewise. Prince Lu is very fit and muscular. . . Siaglason galloped seven farlongs wita Tresham in 1.36 8-5 and went well. Main (A- Jenkins) did strong pace work. Glendowie (E. Stanway) and Waiiaunaha <N. Conway) went over five of th» steep;»-

chase fences on the course proper. The ■acce was net on, but Glendowle outclassed his ni3te. Glendowie jumps well and five the impression that the bigger the fences the better he would go. S. Gray brought Bright Lend to the course, but he wag not * sb-1* to work hla. The off hind loot it skill well bandaged, and while the horse is certainly improving he has lost a lot of conditio*, and it looks a very remote hope to expect kim to be able to race at the Meeting. E. Etanv.-ay will ride Eiyslanor and Ssa Fera on the opening day of the Wellington ■Winter Meeting. Liaori Boy Will be ridden by E. lianeor.. Steady rain ee'„ in overnight, Uttd this morning broke cold and wet. The tracks wero heavy and sloppy. No. S grass was available for galloping, out little use was mad© of it, the majority doing pace work 00 the sand. There was no schooling. Brigadier Bill worked a couple of strong rounds on the grass, and increased the pace over the last half. He has thickened out into a much more solid-looking gelding than he Las ever been before, and his trainer, J. T. Morris, is well satisfied with his condition. Overhaul and Black Duke, both looking in good health, and ridden by A. S. Didhato, v/orked on the saud. . Ei Boa worked on the sand. xil Boa is a bit on the small side, but a very compactlooking sort. Koaua-ii worked freely once round on the sand. He looks in good order. S Penman tijo had Kotahi Eka out. A. Tinker led Paddon round the good ground on the centre and did not strip him. Marble King, who looks fit. went once round en the grass, and sprinted down tha straight. , Boomerday worked or, tne sand, v.-oere Comical (IZ. Ransom) did a strong gallop, infusing uienty of dash into it. Kawhii looks one of the fittest horses on the track. A. Tinker rode him on the sand. ~ Eillikins and Ohinsm-ri worked easily on tha centre. , , , Waltzer and' High Pitch did steady tsa*cs. Kauri Pj«-k worked strongly on the sand. lie looks the ideal type of horse for winter ""r 0 Alexander web out with Pari, Imateaglrl, and Masher. , K. Hannon's team, King's Guard, Tmoioa, a-id Taku Tama, worked on the gras3, where Prince Lu did a couple of strong rounds. H. Gray brought Bright Land to the traces: and trotted and cantered him on the sand. He moved stiffly at first, but when warniea up went quite freely. His injured off kind foot has been shod, and he does not appear soro on it. Provided the improvement is maintained Bright Land may still b« able to run at the Meeting. Gray has to ride this gelding with the net over his mouth and noso, otherwise he could not hold him. "He's the only horse I've over struck _ 1 couldn't hold." says Gray. "We use him for drafting cattle, and one day he bolted with me, and before he stopped he had gone over a big wire fence and a creels.." The southern contingent arrived during tha morning. The presence of Radiate leaves on'' Nukumai, Maunga, Roya! Elm, and Rang! Sarto to put in an appearance to complete the Wellington Steeplechase field. Wnltaer, who is engaged on Wednesday in tha Stewards' Handicap on the flat, 13 to school over hurdles in the morning. Auckland reports indicate that Glena Bay went wrong after a gallop on Thursday, and will not i>4in at the Wellington Meeting. R. Syme has been engaged for Prince Lu, Boomerday, and Horomea on the opening day of the Wellington Meeting. H. Goldfinch will ride High Pitch. Waltzer, and Mark Mint. The week-end rain makes heavy going certain for the Meeting.

Tie weather wo unfavourable for the finals of »he AH England tennis championship, at Wimbledon, being dull, chilly, and showery Nevertheless, tae centre court was crowded to capacity. The spectators found the day's greatest turill in the fiveeet struggle i'ousg England versus Young America," in which A!!ifcoa and Van Ryn defeated Gregory and Uo.ans, but the margin was only three games. The Americana captured the first set comfortably before the Kn»lishmen got into their stride, after which Ft %aa aMarkliag. **"'»?* r>h« The match «aa decided at the tmrc game in the fifth set when the Americans for the arst time in the match collared ColUn ihower B iC /e!l intermittently throughout the three last sets. The whole quartet covered themselves with glory but the mos, notable revelation, and probably the deciding factor was the strength of Allison'E service, which nonplussed Collins throughout Kiss Wills and Miss Jacobs, first and fourth respectively on the United States ranking list, placed off the women's singles championship. Miss Wills won easily tn two sets, Miss Jacobs being unable to extend Mis. Wills, and a disappointing gaaae oeing the result. This is the tn:rd year -Miss WUI3 has won the titie. . "in the final oi the men's singles, Cochet beat Borotra. Opposing all-round steadiness to Borotra's orratic genius, Cochet always had the match safe. Borotra concentrated for reaching the net, but Cochet's accurate returns often passed Borotra. The latter frequently foot-faulted. Borotra made a fine effort to retrieve his position in the third set. He mede splendid cross-court ehots, but Cochet marvellously got there, and his returns found Borotra out of position The crowd, which loves Borotra's eportiveness and gaity, cheered him on to greater efforts. He gallantly rallied when Cochet stood 4-1. Cochet was temporarily nonplussed, but recovered hia steadiness, and Borotra'o rally failed. France has not relinquished her hold on the title since 1924, the winners since then having been: 192-1. J. Borotra; 1025, R. Lacoste; 1926, J. Borotra; 1927, H. Cochet; and 1928, E. _Lacostc.

OXFORD-CAMBRIDGE SUCCESS IN U.S.A.

YOUNG'S STRENUOUS MATCH. (Received July 7th, 11 p.m.) NEW YORK, July 6. At Cedarahurst, tiong Island, the OxfordCambridge tennis team retained the Prince of Wale* Cup by taking {our more matches from the Rockaway team, bringing the score to 10 to 1. Nearly all the matches were hard fought. In spite of the overwhelming score, the visitors in ■winning four matches to-day did not drop one set. R. R. T Young, the New Zealander, who represents Cambridge, experienced some difficulty in defeating Jonklaas, theirs being a closely-matched game. Throughout the first set both remained at the back of the court, and drove accurately, but Young managed to gain the set by steady pounding, which finally found the weak spot in his opponent's defence. Jonklaas showed signs of taking. the second set, but faltered after gaining a two-game lead at the start. The New Zealander then resorted to a faster ipace, and harder stroking enabled him to run off five games, to lead 5-2. He finished at a rapid clip, to take the set 6-2. The results are:— • Single*. Avory (Oxford-Cambridge) defeated Parker, 6-4, 6-4. Dericou (Oxford-Cambridge) defeated MeQlinn, 7-5, 6-2. Young defeated Jonklaas, 8-8, 6-3. Doubles.
