The South Canterbury Jockey Club ha<3 received excellent nominations for its Winter Meeting, to lie held on June 19th and 21st, all South Island centres, including the West Coast, being represented. . The following Riccarton horses appear in the list: Aberfeldy, Lancer, Heisler, Zeusis, Troilus, Amorist, Marco Polo, Pangolin, Battle Colours, Houns'.ow, Royal Mint, Rascal, Starshooter, Haze, Quarterdeck, Discourse, Sapient, Ranelagh, Great Star.

At the Whangarei Meeting in April last, Iv. Gill, rider of Gwairaka, winner of the Waipu Handicap, was alleged to have interfered with the second horse, Sea Cob, in the straight, but tho judicial committee of the o!ub decided to take no action. The owner of Sea Cob later appealed to the Auckland District Committee against that decision and that body upheld th© epoeal and reversed the places. The owners of Owniraka have now takon the matter further by appealing to the Racing Conference, ana the case will bo heard at Auckland on Wednesday next. Mr H. R. Sellers, secretary of the conference, leaves for Auckland to-night in connexion with the appeal. The stallion Tractor has been sold by Mr L. C. Hazlett, of North Taieri, to Mr 11.I 1 . Donnelly, of Havelock North. Tractor is by The Tetrnrch from Gravitation (a sister to William the Third). He is twelve years old, and the' sire of Too Gear, a fanoied candidate for Saturday's Otago Steeplechase.

This story is told in the "Athletic News'.': During: the filming /of this year's sensational Grand National at a local cinema an excited bookmaker vnenr me Bhouted, as Melleray's Belle and Sir Lindsay approached the last fence, leading Shaun Goilin by a .length: "Six to one against any horse bar the two in front 1" Quick aa thought I retorted: 'T.II have that to a pound on the one just behind..' Even asl spoke, the caption "Shaun ■ Goilin/ Wiiis"; was flashed across the screen. I turned to the "bookW;' .but before I could speak be drew six one pound. notes from .his pocket, and -batting mo on the shoulder, said: "Hero you are, old man, your liorae earned •very penny of it in that finish."

Two well-known New Zealand studs Ore to be sold at Trentham during Wellington Cup week. Mr John Donald is dispersing the Westmere Stud, largely because nia health needs freedom from business worries. The horses offered will include Chief Ruler, Diacquenod,' Grand Knight, and Captain Bunsby. There.are about thirty raarea jto go tinder the hammer, almost half of which are English bivcl. Mi" W. G. Stead has decided to submit to auction his horses and mares. '■ The stal- , lions are Lord Quex and Leigliton, and there, are ttbout sixty mares. So much valuable blood will lie in the market that there, is-sureto be a big . attendance of New Zealand and Australian breeders.

A few weeks ago it' was suggested ilhat the Australian 5 Jockey Club, would be compelled to curtail stake' money, but it was understood minor handicaps would be, decreased in value. The A.J.C. . Committee' sprang a surprise last week by announcing that, the two two-year-old classics at 1 the! Spring' Meeting, the Breeders' Plate and Gimcrack Stakes, would be reduced in Value'from : £2OOO to £I6OO. Possibly the idea behind<tki« step is to discourage to * degree the forcing of* youngsters for early two-yeor-old racing, for the club gives two big prises in the autumn of £6OOO > and £3OOO. for the Sires' Produce Stakes .and Champagne Stakes. There is no suggestion at present that these amounts will be ro- . «iuced. Last season practically the whole of. . the big handieaps in England were won hy horses which started atlong prices. The first of.,the, series -this year,, the Lincolnshire, wss,w;on by ;the Erench lio'rse Leonitfas 13,, starting at long odds; and a fortnight ago the second big,handicap (the Chester Cup) was won by another outsider in Mountain Lad. There were 18 starters, and ' Mountain Lad won by a length and a half. The race is run over two miles and a quarter. The winner is a six-year-old horse owned by Mr H. C. Sutton. He is by Alan Breck from Maid of the Mountains by Amadis from Porridge by Brentworth. Amadis is by Love wisely (II.) out of ' Galeta by the Derby winner, Ladas. Alan Breck was fourth in "the Two Thousand Guineas and the Derby. He was bred by Lord Woolavington. and is by Sunetac from Joi de Vivre by Gallinule from Melinda by the Derby winner, Melton (8). At prevsent tho Victorian Government collects about £116,000 annually from stamp . taxes, but it is felt that if the system of taxing bookmakers were to be made elastic and on a sliding scale, so that the amount of tax / paid would vary with the amount invested, that nearly £BOO,OOO could be collected in tax. It will take the clubs some time to decide what form ef totalisator will be used, and to that

end Mr A. V. Kewney, secretary of the Victorian Racing Club, will go to England and tho Continent at tho end of this month to look over tho types of machine available. Tho death occurred at Riccarton yesterday morning of Walter Bush, a wellknown horseman for many years past, and at one time a successful trainer. Mr Bush had been in ill-health for a period, but his death came rather unoxpectodly. Ho was widely known as a straight goer over the fences, on tho flat, and in everyday life, and his death is widoly mourned by a large circle of friends. Ho was first in a racing stable, when J. Bridges trained horses for Mr C. O. T. Eutherford, Scottish Minstrel being amongst the number. Later on, he was with J. McCombo. F. I). Jones, and G. MurrayAynsley, and he then rode a number of horses for S. Waddell, private trainer to the late Hon. J. D. Ormond, while ho was also in the employ of G. Jones, trainer of Sasanof, and other great horses. Amongst many races that he won may be mentioned the Dunedin Cup on Margermo. Some of the yearlings at presont receiving their initial education at the Cliokobore stable have had tho following names bestowed on them: Filly by Winning Hit from Belter Skelter, Boundary Hit; colt by Winning Hit from Equipment, Cricket Bat; filly by Tho Aco from Sailor's Hopo, Fast Passage; gelding by The Ace from Brown Owl. Morepork; filly by The Ace from Rod Hind, JPorlock; gelding by The Aco from Gamobag, Shotdown; gelding by Tho Ace from Brnmbletyo, Thornproof; gelding by Winning Hit from Rivalry, Umpire.

The'Stonyhurst-brcd filly by Tho Ace from Moortowl, now owned by Mr E. S. Luttroll, has been named Autumn Bird. She was foaled in the last week m July and will rank as a three-year-old noxt season, or the same age as her sister, Moorbird, also belonging to Mr Luttrell. Both fillies are in W. G. Hobbs's stable, and are doing well. Moorbird has not yet been raced, but prior to being handed over from Chokeboro Lodge showed a marked turn of speed on the track. Autumn Bird can claim to bo tho most attractive-looking youngster at Riocarton. and it is unfortunate that she has to miss racing in two-yoar-i>ld events. The southern owner, Mr L. C. Hailett, evidently believes in keeping up with tho times, as ho has claimed the name of Amy Johnson for a yearling (illy by Tractor from Ravenna. The restoration of the right of owners to use assumed names is proposed in a remit to be submitted to the New Zealand Racing Conference by the Canterbury Jockoy Club. The matter was the subject of a lengthy and interesting discussion at laßt year's conference, when a similar remit was defeated by one vote.

A motion by the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club that tho office of the Now Zealand Racing Conference bo moved from Christchurch to Wellington will bo dealt with at the Racing Conference nest month. Two other remits of interest to bo discussed provide for a club or person interested being entitled to be represented by counsel ,-vfc the hearing of appeals, and for the instruction of apprentices in the art of riding, tho proposal being tlmt an instructor in horsemanship bo appointed or one fbr each island, his duties to bo carried out on the same lines as are in vogue in Australia.

TROTTING NOTES.

The Railway Department advertises in to-day'a issue arrangements in eonnexiofi with the Forbury Park Trotting Meeting at Dunedin on June 6th and 7th. Excursion tickets will be issued to Dunedin, and a special horse train will be run from Christchurch to Dunedin. on Juno 4th, and a special train for passengers and horses will leave Dunedin for Christchurch at 7.30 a.m. cn Sunday, June Bth. The Auckland Trotting Club's Winter Meeting will b« held on June 21st and 23rd; Nominations close at S p.m. on Friday. > The nominations received for the Forbury Park Trotting .Club's Meeting toe perhaps not all that could be expected, but, it is certain that when acceptances are called for on Monday, that most of those nominated will stand their ground. Owners should remember that acceptances for all events close at 5 p.m. on Monday.

Mr T. Fogg, the Forbury Park Trotting Club's handicapper, has not worried himself about framing flattering handicaps for the horses engaged at tho Benefit Meeting. It will be noted that he has placed El Direct on 2.13, as against the 2.13 by Mr P. C. Thomas to-day, at the Canterbury Park Meeting. There iB no doubt of the fact that Mr T. Fogg has now interpreted the system better than anyone elso. Horses that will be bracketed at Addington to-day include Vendome and The Shrew, Avenger and Omaha, and Dundas Boy and Quality, in tho Paparua Handicap, Bonnio Belmont and Writer in the Aviation Handicap, Krina and Fair Wave in tho Ellesmore Handicap, and Trimmer and Kid Logan in the Stewards' Handicap.

WINGATUI NOTES.

(rasas association tsw.okah.)

DUNEDIN, May 30.

A fairly stiff froßt was in evidence at Wingatui this morning, and its effect on the going amounted to the equivalent of a rainfall. The track remained fairly firm, und the horses galloped on the course did nothing moro than turn a Bmall lip on the turf with their hoofprints. A large number of horses representing all tho acceptors for the Meeting were on the course during the morning, but only a few were sent against the watch. The first gallop of noto took place between Arikiwai and Money Mine. They ran over seven furlongs in 1.34 3-5. Money Mino galloped much better than in recent work, and finished slightly in front of Arikiwai, who, however, covered much more ground than his companion in the gallop. Waterline and Full Feather ran over six furlongs in 1.24, in a working gallop, but could have improved considerably under pressure. First Kaid covered six furlongs in 1.21 2-5, and shaped well with Evening, who was in the gallop. They covered the first five furlongs in 1.8 3-5.

Glenrowan and A 1 Jolson loft half a milo behind in 54, and Caterpillar, in receipt of weight, seemed to be better than Black Duke over fivo furlongs in 1.7.

Flaxbird ran down half a mile in 53 3-5", and seems to -have the gift of galloping. A number of others were allotted useful tasks.

SUSPENSION LIFTED.

(PBESS AS9OCIITIO* *»ZGKAV.) WANGANUI, May 30. At a meeting of the Wanganui District Committee this afternoon, tho sentence of one month's suspension imposed on D. O'Connor, rider of Lin Arlington in the Rata Hack Hurdles on the second day of the Wanganui winter fixture on May 17th, was again considered, and it was decided that the suspension bo lifted as from 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 31st.

TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME.

The winter meeting of tho Dunedin Jockey Club will open at Wingatui today. The Adds will be reasonably large in each event, and include horses from all parts of the South Island, and also from Trentham. The programme is as follows:

11.30—HUNTERS* STEBPLKOtIASE, of 175 LouKhrea '°n f Koreas ..9 0 FrenchFloet" 10 0 StftrTmtOr 9 0 Mataipuko ..10 f> 5 1 ',l man "* £ „ Rod Heather 9 Kuku ..9 0 Wairio • • 0 ®

Longhrea if right is a class horse amongst the above, but his condition has to bo taken on trust. French Fleet showed winning form at Invercargill, boating Snowfall amongst others, and he and Red Heather appear to be tho likely pair to dispute tho honourß.

12.10 BRIGHTON HANDICAP, of 200 eova. im. Btarnhooter .. 10 1 Carinthla .. 711 Salmo Salar 0 7 Vlnewove -.7 9 Ravine ..9 8 Dumblane .. 7 8 Night Maid ..0 1 Thuwo ..7 7 Ranelagh ..0 0 Remindful • • ? ?

Impertinonco 8 3 Night Rose .. 7 7 This field must be considered evenly balanced, and speculation will bo widely distributed, with the favourite well concealed. Form, however, points to Straightcourse, Kauelagh, and Ravine being entitled to serious consideration.

12.50—BIRTHDAY HANDICAP, of 850 sov». • IJufi. /riltiwai .. 9 0 Red Sea .. 8 4 Waterline .. 8 114 Circulation .. 711 Money MiUe 811 Cam »ader ..7 0 I'ink Note .. 811 Black Mint ..74 Arikiwai's showing in the Great Autumn Handicap and at Ashburton last week makes bis prospects in the above look very hopeful, but should the track be soft, an unlikely happening, ho can be dismissed. On the other hand, the conditions will not seriously affect Waterline, who has been responsible for some attractive work of late. The issue seems to be confined to this pair with a preference for Arikiwai, who has a big advantage on a weight-for-age basis, and should be able to concede 21b to a three-year-old. Pink Note may cause most trouble to the Riccarton representatives.

I.3O—OTAGO STEEPLECHASE, of 450 iove. About B|m. Radiate ..10 8 Radlae .. 9 11 Top Gear ..10 0 Night Raid .. 9 1 Kaikahu ..10 1 Doubl# Soult 9 0 Snowfall .. 9 13

Radiate was in satisfactory order when he left Blcacrton, and provided the track is not hard, he should stand up to the ordeal. There is no doubt about his ability as a steeplechaser, but the fact that he has not had a race for some time and that difficulty had been experienced until a couple of weeks ago iu giving him the desired work, may tell against him. Top Gear and Radiac both showed good form at Biverton, and will carry southern support. The favourite division will probably be comprised of Badiate, Katkahu, and Top Gear.

3,IO—TRADESMEN'S HANDICAP, of 250 KOVI. 6f.

Great Star ..9 6 Subdivision 8 0 Blaok Duko 9 1 Fall Fling .. 7 11 Taboo . • 9 1 Sraltkereens 7 6 Bin Tin Tin 0 0 Rascal - .. 7 6 Caterpillar .. 8 3 Red Boa .. 7 2 Inevitable .. 8 1 First Bald ..70 Lucky Light 8 0

Great Star has done well previously at Wingatui and also races , prominently when fresh. He will probably be ridden by the stable apprentice, who has won several times on him. Bin Tin Tin is in a winning vein and Inevitable was successful at Biverton. This trio may be in m.ost demand in the order indicated.

2.SO—JUNE HURDLES, of 900 (OVB. 11m. Pangolin .. 10 9 Amorist ..

The class is not over strong and Paris and Amorist may be on hand at the finish. 3.3O—ST. CLAIR HANDICAP, of 175 «ot«. ef.

' 8 4 Royal Gam* 8 0 Glenrowan .. 8 2 Discourso ... 8 0 Evening .. 8 3 Royal Mint .. 8 0 One of the most improved horses at Biucarton, in looks at any rate, is Pull Feather, and should he race up to what he is capable of doing, his task in the above cannot be considered over difficult. Investors, howover, may keep off him in his first effort after not having had a race for a couple of months. Smithereons is more than useful up to a milo, and is worth following at the Meeting. Full Feather, Smithereons, | and Wingatui make most appeal.

CANTERBURY PARK T.C.

to-day»s meeting.

The Canterbury Park Trotting Club's Meeting, which opens at Aldington today, gives promise of being one of the most suceossful staged at this season of the year, and, with good sized fields and horses of better than average quality engaged, the racing should be full of interest. Mr J. Higbstod, the Club's caretakor, has paid special attention to the preparation of the tracK, which should provide hrst-class going, although at this season oi the year it is not usually in a condition for recordbreaking. the fact that the first race will start at . 11.5 a.m., and the last at 4.10 p.m. will give patrons a chance of seeing the racing and reach-, ing their homes before darkness sets in/ The Christcburch Tramways Board has arranged for a special service to and from the course, and everything points to a most enjoyablo day s sport. The programme is as follows: —

11.5 ■ a.m.—YALDHURST HANDICAP (in harness), of 175 sovs. For unhoppled trotters. 0.38 class. ljm. Accumulator .. ser Scuttlo .. -J* Mat Voyago .. scr Sea Queen .. -4 King's Voyage R'T Oomlifelit .. Nelson Parrish 12 Midland •• ™ St. Petrox .. 12 Oval " Roputa •• 12 Tot Logan .. 48 Stand By ..12 Kew Metford .. 48 Nelson's Prince 12 White Satin .. 48 tfifn .. 12 Mount Royal .. 7J Great Amaron .. 24

The three-year-old White Satin will command strong support in the Yaldhurst Handicap, and as she has a record of 3.31 4-5, and is set to do 3,34, it is apparent that sho has a chance second to none. The?© are, however, a number of older horses engaged that are quite capable of keeping her up to her best. Fifa and Oval will find the distance to suit them, and Nelson Parrish is on the improve. White Satin. Fifa, and Nelson Parrish should fill the places.

11.50 n.m.—PENINSULA HANDICAP (in harness), of 200 sovs. 8.20 class. Um. Arild -• £<7 H» rold '• J* Brentlight .. acr Rlcardo .. J 2 Erin's Royal .. *cr Vikota • • " Wild Voyage ..

The Peninsula Handicap field includes a number of improving pacers, and there is bound to do strong support for the Wellington-trained Log aii's Prido. Over a 4 mil© and half* owever, he will find it hard to give 36 vards away to suoh a big field, ana Editor. Wild Voyage, Nelson McElwyn. Brentlight, Kreisler, and invader will all have supporters. In what looks like being a good race Editor. Wild Voyage, and Brentlight should race prominently.

13 40 p.m.—PAPARUA HANDICAP (in harness). of 600 sovs. 4.32 class. 2m. Muriel d'Oro .. scr The Shrew .. 24 Arikitoa .. scr Maiwhanti • - Vendoma .. tier Athalone .. *» Talent 12 Jean MeElwyn 48 Avenger .. 3 2 Daphne d Oro j>o Genuine .. 12 Sum*! 1 ® Boy .. Pageant .. 24 Quality •• 84 Omaha .. 24

Betting will take a. wide range in the Paparua Handicap, in which Vendome and The Shrew, Avenger and Omaha, and Dundas Boy and Quality will be braoketed. Muriel_ do Oro raced well but unluckily m her last start at Oamaru, but it is possible that she is better over a shorter journey than two miles. Avenger _ has been working well, and Genuine, trained in Wellington, must be given a chance. Pageant does not appeal, and Maiwhariti is unreliable. Athalon© and Fean MeElwyn on 48 yards behind are solid and reliable, and of the pair Athalone appeals more than the mare. The finish inay be fought out between Athalone. Avenger, and Jean MeElwyn. 1.25 p.m.—AVIATION HANIMOAP (In harness), of 300 sovs. For unhoppled trotters. 4.44 class. 2m. Tonne Carbine sor Lady Fan .. 86 Kyra .. 12 Admiral Blngen 48 Dipnoi .. 12 Dolores .. 48 Rose Ando .. 12 Bonnie Belmont 60 Nelson's Boy „. 12 Sariaparlll# .. 60 Boneto .. 24 Writer .. 84 Nelson Ata .. 24 John Mauritius 84 Qnlekflre .. ,86 Admiral Bingen is generally regarded as a sprinter pure and simple, but he has won over two miles in 4.45 on a big track, and on the Addipgton course he should stay even better. He has a torrent of speed, and patiently driven, as he usually is, ho must be one of the hardest to beat. Kyra has only to start correctly to be troublesome, for she is a good stayer, and Rose Audo, though perhaps better over a shorter journey, is a possibility. Admiral Bingen, Kyra. and Rose Audo appear likely to collect tho stake money. 3.5 p.m.—ELLESMERE HANDICAP (in harness). of 200 sovb. 4.40 class. 2m. Mercury .. scr Rlcardo .. 12 Whakatnua .. sor Purs«r , .. 12 Baby Logan .. scr Royal Comrade -4 Colehill ~ scr Krina .. 24 Mao Dillon . scr Anon .. 24 Harold Logan .. tier Shady Spot .. 24 Erin's Lynn .. scr Rey Logan .. 30 Vecto .. scr Logan's Pride .. 48 Tumatakuru .. 12 Fair Wave .. 48 Harold Logan is regarded as a horse of more than average merit, and his recent victories in the North Island point to him racing well in the Ellesraere Handicap. Rey Logan and Logan's Prido may prove Harold Logan's most formidable opponents. 2.50 p.m.—STEWARDS' HANDICAP (in harness), of 300 sovs. 2.48 class, IJm. Warepa .. scr LingAeld .. 32 Trimmer .. scr Travis Axworthy 24 Granito City .. scr Great Logan .. 24 Tony Victor .. scr Linkman .. 4* Kotuku Jack .. scr Loganwood .. 49 Baynut .. scr Cardinal Logan 43 Trampfast .. scr Silk Thread .. 48 Kid Logan .. 12 Native Prince .. GO Eugene d'Oro .. 12 A particularly good field is engaged in tho Stowards' Handicap, and. the winner is well concealed. Possibly Great Logan, Linpfield, and Linkman will take a hand in the final issue. 3.35 p.m.—RAILWAY HANDICAP (in saddle), of 200 bovs. 2.16 cluss. lm. Teremoa .. scr Sylvle Logan .. 12 Pearl Logan .. scr Bob Logan .. 12 Great Triumph scr High Jinks .. 24 Loco .. scr Avonwood .. 24 Warepa .. 12 El Diroct sg Sahib .. 12 Teremoa is likely to go out favourite for the Railway Handicap, but El Direct may bo quite capable of giving awav 30 yards'to tho rest of tho field. Both are very fast pacers, and act well with the weight on top. The best of the remainder may prove to be Great Triumph, 4.10 p.m.—AU RE VOIR HANDICAP (in harness), of 250 sovs. 2.14 class. lm Trimmer .. scr Wilma Dillon . 12 Granite City .. scr Arikitoa 24 Trampfast .. scv Talent .. 24 Neerson ... scr Linkman .. 3fi Role* .•• scr Bessie Logan .. 36 Steel All .. scr Logan Chief .. 48 Hector's Own .. 12 King Pointer .. 43 Final McKinney 12 Waitakl Girl .. 4a Golden Bubbles 12

The Au Re voir Handicap should provide a great tussle, and Wilma Dillon._ Talent, and Logan Chief should be m the firing line at tho finish.
