TURF GOSSIP.

Acceptances for the South Canterbury Hunt Meeting will close to-day. In connexion with the South Canterbury Hunt Meeting on Saturday, a special train will leave Chriatchurch at 7.52 a.m., arriving at tho course at 11.8 a.m. Tho return journey from Titnaru will be commenoed at 6.35 l».m. and the train is diue in Christchurch at 10 p.m. Kalakaua lias been rehandicapped from 10-9 to 11-9 for the Hunt Cup at tho Manawatu Racing Club's Winter fleeting. Mr 11.l 1 . D. McNab, of Hiccarton, will distribute passes to jockeys requiring them for tho South Canterbury Hunt Meeting. King March, winner of the Juvenile Handicap at Moorefield on Saturday, is the property of Messrs 0. Nicholson and E. R. Davis, of Auckland. He is one of J. T. Jamiesou's big team at present in Australia, and e;ave that trainer his first win on the trip. King March is by Rossendale from Queen March, who won for Mr E. R. l>avis six races as a two-year-old and was only once out of a place, her victories including the Welletsley Stakes, Auckland Welcome Stakes, Criterion Handicap, Royal Stakes, and Great Northern Champagne Stakes. She won only one race as a three-year-old and was then retired to the stud, a visit to Rossendale in Australia resulting in Saturday's winner, who evidently has inherited much of his dam's speed. Deportment claims the successful producer of jumpers, Masterpiece, as liw sire and is from Fairy Fashion by Sarto from Fairy Benzie, dnm of two useful gallopers in Fairy Herald and Fairy Tidings. Like this pair, Deportment was bred by his owner, Mr H. T. Smith, and more is likely to be heard of him as a steeplechaser. The promising South Canterbury steeplechaser, Valves, is destined to race In the Homeby Steeplechase at tho Christchurch Bunt Meeting prior to contesting the Grand National, and will be tiddon in his engagements by E. Shaw. Valves created a favourable impression at the recent South Canterbury Meeting, but-it is expect- „ ins orach of a young horse to aspire to National honouW in his first season oyer country. It is Understood that the Taranaki Racing Clubs will hold a conference in Hawera early in August to consider . those matters dismissed by the WanganniClubs, via., complimentary tickets, luncheon tickets, broadcasting of the running of races on the course only, storting times, closing of nominations and acceptances, and salaries of officials. An effort is to be made by a deputation from Wanganui to obtain a uniform time for the closing of nominations, and in addition the rapport of tho Taranaki Clubs for the proposed restriction of the issue of complimentary tickets and free luncheons. The conference is really a sensible economy campaign. At a point-to-point gathering near Palmerstoo North last week, the Newbury Open Steeplechase, contested ant two and a half miles with log, iail, and wire, hen coop, and double fyush fences, was won % Corner off, who Is an accentor for the Grand National Steeplechase. B» Syme, who rode Matu when he wo» at Trentham, will again be on this horse in the Grand National Steeplechase. Wiltshire has won thife race the last two seasons, and Syme aboard him each time,,, so that the northern rider is now nicely placed to complete the hat trick.

tTROTTING NOTES.

MSr J. MeGlinehey has made a present of tiit pacer Away to the New Brighton t miliar, A, G. Wilson. The Adonis geldSag, a few yean baak, was a very brilliant pacer and took a two miles record of 4.28, but of late unsoundness Jim prevented Mm from /being properly HH, OL 6. Donald's stable is well represented at the August Meeting to be held at Addington, and amongst those engaged oa the first day are Kempton, Boyiu Silk, Oarmel, Quality, Dundas Boy, Tonie, Writer, Invader, Sir Author, Dilnon, Tony Vietor, Lindbergh, Bessie Logan, and Morning Sun. O. E. Hooper's team for Addington will include Beal Huon, King Pointer, Groat Logan, and Shady Spot, a' very useful quartette that should earn a fair proportion of the stake-money. Beal Huon showed the greatest promise as a two-year-old, when he ran John Jinl& to a head in the New Zealand Sapling Btakes in record time, > but after that be was operated upon and Ms five starts this season have not earned him anything in the way of stake-money. Beal Huon will be given a chance in the Advance Handicap, a mile and a quarter race, 2.56 class, and bade to his best form he may take beati»gv

W, J. Tomkinson has a strong team in work for immediate engagements, and amongst the horses that are engaged at Addington are Morrison, Home Voyage, Desert Key, Logan Park, Maiwhariti, Country King, Rey Logan, and Prince Pointer. Morrison is engaged in the Advance Handicap, and if he could be depended upon to race up to his best track forih he would be one of the hardest to beat. There is an impression, however, that he is not always to be relied upon. His form earlier in the present season suggested this, but possibly he requires only age to develop stamina. INJURY TO BLENHEIM. COLT MAY NOT RACE AGAIN. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BT ELECTRIC TELEORAPH -COFYBIOHT.) (Received July 21st, 7 p.m.) LONDON, July 20. His Highness the Aga Khan's Blenheim may not run again. The recent jarring which prevented his appearance at Sandown will probably lead to his scratching from the St. Leger. Blenheim will go to the Aga Khan's stud in France at the end of the year. [Blenheim, which won the Derby, was bred Dy Lord Carnarvon and was bought as a yearling by the Aga Khan for 4100 guineas. As a two-year-old Blenheim won four races and was placed second three times in seven starts, his victories including the New Stakes at Ascot and the Hopeful Stakes at Newmarket.]
