Nominations for tbe Ashburton County Racing Club's Spring Meeting, to be held on September 20th, will be dne at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The only race Meeting in Now Zealand to-day will be that conducted by the Taranaki Hunt Club. The interest of New Zoaland racegoers will be centred in the Warwick Farm Meeting, to be held to-day. The main attraction will be the weight-for-age Warwick Stakes, in which Nightmarch 9-3, Limerick 9-0, Amounis 9-0, Fuji San 9-0, Chide 9-0, Loquacious 8-12, and Phar Lap 8-11 are expected to be produced. Limerick has won the race on three occasions, and his reappearance will be eagerly awaited by Australians and New Zealanders alike. In a letter received from F. D. Jones this week, he stated he was more than pleased with his horse's progress, and expected him to put up a strong fight. Nightmarch has been responsible for some brilliant track efforts at Randwick of late, and is evidently more forward than the majority of his opponents. Phar Lap is also reported to be in good order, and the indications point to the two descendants of Night Raid contesting the finish.

Mr J. M. Samson is due to arrive in Wellington on October 4th after an extended trip abroad. Mrs J. Campbell will shortly receive from Mr A. F. Boberts two. two-year-Old fillies, one by Night Raid from Dollar Piece, and the other by Polazel from Bendown (dam of Star Raid and Stealth). Mr J. B. Pearson has recently recommissioned the four-year-old filly La Pompadour, by Paper Money from Rose Red. She showed a turn of speed on the track early last season, but was not raced owing to developing lameness.

A South Island trainer recently received a letter frpm one of Us patrons suggesting that he should try his (the patron's) representative in the stable over the battens, as the gelding's grandmother was a natural jumper. This line of argument brines to mind a resent ease of the father of a stablehand contending that the boy should develop into a good rider, as his mother was a full sister to one of the best horsemen of his day in New Zealand.

Advice from Hawke's Bay states that (fyllgder la very pear bis best, and Won the spring racing is very far advanced he thould make his presence felt. As a two-year-old in the autumn bit season he showed good form, winning the North Island Challenge Stakes by a head from Paganelli in 1.26J, While he accounted for the Great North* «n Champagne Stakes, of similar diataqM, -very easily. He will probably have Us first race at the Wangwani flprbf Meeting, where he will contest Pn Gfitinea*.

TRENTHAM NOTES.

FORM AT DANNEVIRKE. [THE PBESS Special Bertie#.] WELLINGTON, August 29. Seven New Zealand Cup candidates —Royal Game, Black Mint, Shrewd, Hynanna, Courageous, Blimp, and My Own—were seen in action at Dannevirke. Shrewd performed the best and at present is at the top of his form. Courageous, on his form, is not out of place in a stayer's race, but Royal Game, Black Mint, and Blimp cannot be regarded seriously for the two mile event. My Own ran a fair race and so did Hynanna, but it is too early so far as they are concerned to form an opinion upon their prospects. Desert Lad was one of the uniuckiest runners at Dannevirke, meeting his Bharo of misfortune on both days. Maui always was a good little galloper, but ho has improved a lot and might win a good handicap. Callagain is a useful hurdler who with luck might have won a doublo at Dannevirke. Kahikatoa was a useful two-year-old, winning twice and running second onco in twelve starts. He failed to run on the first day at Dannevirke, but there was nothing wrong with him the second day. 'He is a half-brother to Huikai. He may not reach top class amongst the three-year-olds, but ho will win his sh&re of races. One of the most promising jumpers of the campaign that is now drawing to its close is Postman. Postman made his first public appearance just a month ago at the Awapuni Winter Meeting, and in that time lie ha& won four races. His win in the Hunt Cup Steeples at Dannevirke was very easily accomplished, and ho looks like being useful over the fences next winter. He is only a livo-year-old by Archiestown from Piliar Box, by All Red from Shimose, by Hotchkiss, so that he has all his bost years in front of him. J. Proctor is doing well with hift small team at FoxtOn. He recently produced a transformed character in Disrank and won a hurdle double at the Awapuni Winter Meeting and at Dannevirke scored another double with Maui. The improvement in this pair does not end the stable story, for Balloon has shared in it and it was sheer bad luck that roobed him of a portion of the prissomoney on Thursday. Incidentally Disrank, who was unable to start at the Grand National Meeting, is now making a rapid recovery from a temporary ailment.

The principal disappointment amongst the racehorses at the Dannevirke Meet* ing was Simba. He commenced his racing career twelve months ago with a flourish of trumpets, winning the Debutante Stakes at Wanganui, the Nursery Handicap at the Hawke's Bay Spring Meeting, and running third in. the Wellesley Stakes at Trentham. His form made him favourite for the lastnamed event, but he was decisively beaten by both Watch Officer and Chrysology. As he had beaten Chrysology at Hastings when conceding 101b the running in the Wellesley Staked made it clear that Simba had gone off, and this was amply proved when he failed to gain a place in the Roseneath Handicap on the secon£ day at Wellington, won by Gesture from Chief Link and Green Linnet. Simba was not tried again until December, when he ran an* placed in the Oroua Nursery at Feeding, Lady Pam winning from Cylinder and Arisus. That was his taut start prior to Wednesday and seeing that he had been given suob a long time to recover his form a good race was anticipated from him in what was moderate hack company. After showing speed for half a mile Simba retired from the picture and finished well baek. He need not be hastily condemned for this failnrei for it was his first race for nine months, but all things considered it was a disappointing performance. A three-year-old who showed good form at Dannevirke was Mr V. Riddiford's Lineage. She ran in the open seven furlong event, won by Maui, in which she finished a good fourth, and with luck in running would have been second. Maui scored again. on the see* ond day, so the form is right and lineage's prospects in the near future look distinctly promising. She is by Limond from Merit, so she ought to get a distance. Some of ber form last season was good. After running unplaced behind Simba at Wanganui she went on to Avondale and won the Stakes, having behind ber Watch Officer and Cylinder. While ber subsequent form was hardly up to that standard, she won a handicap at WoodviUe in February and at ber last start as a two-year-old she filled third plaoe in the Canterbury Jockey Club Challenge Stakes, won by Spoon, witb Charmaine second. This was an indication that Lineage would run on this season and in ber only start so far she bad maintained that promise. Her next start will bo in the Wanganui Guineas.

The Taranakl Hunt OluVs Meeting, to be held at New Plymouth to-morrow, does not rank veiy high in importance, and it provides the eonolusion of the jumping season. At the same time there are some horses'engaged on the flat whose form will give a guide to their prospeots during the spring flat racing.

ASHBURTON R.C.

ANNUAL MEETING. Tli# annu&l meeting of the Ashburton County Racing Club was held yesterday, when the vice-president, Mr E. B. Newton, presided. In moving the adoption of the report aqd balance-sheet, which was published in The Pebss of Thursday, the chairman said he would like to congratulate members and the committee on the satisfactory financial position of the club at the present time. As the report stated, they had spent approximately £1260 in improvements in the past two years. They had a further expenditure of about £IOO to make immediately laying on a high pressure water supply. They also had in view improving the start from the five furlong post, which would give the horses a straighter run and so alleviate the danger from the sharp bend at the present start. After that was done he thought they Would ha e effected all the improvements necessary for some time to come. Ho thought they all recognised that they had to expect a big decrease in their totalisator receipts for the next fow Meetings. That could only be expected on account of the present financial depression, so they would have to curtail their expenses as much as possible in the meantime and only hope for better times in the near future. He had to thank the committee and stewards for the way they had worked and supported him in the past year, also their secretary and his staff for the efficient manner they had carried out their duties. Mr J. S. Laing seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr E. F. Nicoll said he considered the financial position satisfactory, but they would have to curtail expenses. Too much advertising had been done in the past, and he thought that this was one matter which required attention. Mr C. A. Cuff urged that a membership campaign be inaugurated. Mr J. W. Dowden was appointed auditor for the ensuing year. Meeting of Committee. At a subsequent meeting of the com mittee Mr Newton presided, and was reappointed chairman of the committee for the ensuing year. Mr J. IT. Thomas reported that all the gorse inside the racecourse had been cleared. He was thanked for his work in the mattor. The New Zealand Racing Conference wrote granting permission to the club to include two trotting events in each day's programme for the coming year. The Conference also drew the attention of the club to the admission of unauthorised porsons to the weighing and jockeys' room. It was decided to give attention to this matter. The secretary (Mr J. B. Nicoll) was instructed to report upon the alterations required to his office at the racecourse. Colonel J. Findlay and Mr H. B. MUlichamp were appointed to the vacancies on the committee, and Messrs W XT D T Mitli; n ntl 1? XU

ENGLISH RACING. TBTBATEMA'S TRIUMPH. (now m own cobmspondbkt.) LONDON, July 21. The outcome of Saturday's race for the National Breeders' Produce Stakes at Sundown Park was a remarkable triumph for Major McCalmont as the winning owner and breeder, for H. 8. Persae, the trainer, and for that won-der-eire, Tetratema. His son, Thyestes, making a first appearance on a race* course, won by two lengths from Mr J. P. Hornung's Fearsome. The big margin of four lengths separated the seoond from the third, Mrs Oorlette Glorney'a filly, Carola. The race is the moet valuable event of the year for two-year-olds. Major MoCalmont was winning it for the fourth time. In the beginning there waa The Tetraroh (1918). Six years later came his son, Totratema, then a daughter of that horse, in Queen of the Wore, only a year ago, and now his son Thyestes, who left the. impression that he is very probably the best two-year-old of the season. Two years ago the winner of this race waa the brilliant Tiffin, so that Tetratema can claim to have aired the winner in three successive.years. Not only so, but Ave of the fifteen runners on this latest occasion, actually 83 1-8 per cent, of the lot, could olaim him for siro. Tetratemaa were first, third, and fourth. The record is marvellous.

Like Another Mr Jinks. ? With one exoeption, all those five Tetratemas are greys like the sire himself, and for the most part they were most typical of him in being lavishly endowed with most unusual power ana real suggestion of dominance. This applies in particular to the winner. My .first impression of him in the paddock was a big, and, as I thought, still backward colt, possessed of great possibilities. He seemed, indeed, to be another Mr Jinks when at the same age, there being the abnormal development, especially about the quarters, whiob carries one's mind back to the phenomenal grandsire, The Tetraroh. Thyestes, too, has the big spreading feet which Mr Jinks had, and which are also characteristic of the best sons and daughters of Tetratema. He walked laaily and with the utmost complacency aa if nothing could possibly ruffle his serenity. Perhaps that assisted in convening the idea that he needed the awakening a race would (*ire him. and the time that a big colt so often requires before. coming to his strength. But how very different he was in the canter to the post J Then he was all alight, and as he strode past the stands he seemed perfectly conscious of the way he was go- j ing to treat his fourteen opponents."

CARBINE'S EARLY RACING.

I LORD DERBY'S RACING ESTABLISHMENT. REDUCTIONS TO BE MADE. ' (ttkitw pusa association--»» gutotßir TVLXGRAPH—COPYJUQHT.) (Received August 29th, 7 p.m.) LONDON, August 28. Lord Derby, one of the foremost owners and breeders, according to the "Daily Telegraph," is about to make a considerable reduction in his racing establishment. He has decided to dispense with the services of the trainer, F. Butters, to sell most of the yearlings, and a number of mares and horses, also the Stanley House stables. The step was taken owing to the growing pressure of taxation. It wm recalled that in a recent publio speech, Lord Derby remarked: "I find the time eoming, if it has not already come, when I may have to consider leaving the home where my ancestors have lived for so many years." It is computed thnt Lord Derby's horses have won £850,000 during the past decade. OTAGO HUNT CLUB.
