IN THE SHADE UNLUCKY. (Received August 81st, 6.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, August 81. Limerick** comeback in the Warwick Stakes wan not impressive, but his trainor, F. p. Jones, is hopeful that hit charge will soon be able to demonstrate that yesterday s form was ail wrong. The gelding was squeezed back between the four and fivefurlong posts, and tfould not get closer than seventh. On cooling down he "bowed an inclination to soreness in front, put it is not suggested that a recurrence is likely of the -trouble that throw him out o! action last year. . - » , , * *».» B, 8. Bagby was asked to explain to the stewards his riding of In the Shade in the Spring Handicap, which it was generally considered he should have won. The stewards, after hearing evidence, expressed the opinion that Bagby rode an ill-judged race, a eandld declaration whole-heartedly endorsed by many backers. Another New Zealander, G«y Or;»t, who was the only one credited with a chance of beating In the Shade, ran a good fourth. Lack of racing told over the last furlong. WANGANUI J.C. HANDICAPS. (PBMa *3eocM.T:o» Tiutaiuic.) WELLINGTON, August 80. The following weights have been dealared for the Wanganui Jockey Club s Spring Meetings—

THE LATE SIR GEORGE HUNTER. In the latest issue of the "New Zealand Referee" Mr J. E. Henrys, the well-known handicapper, paya the following tribute to the late Sir George Hunter: — "It has been my privilege to handicap horses that have been raced by Sir George Hunter for about 40 years. He waß gifted with the highest ideals in the racing world, and, in the capable hands of his much-respected trainer, Robert Gooseman, when bis horses sported silk, they were fit to race. Tneir preparation was done on the training track, not with the colours up, and the public were always confident of an honest run. I well remember the Egmont Cup, of two miles, in 1892. It was one of the best contested and most thrilling finishes I have witnessed and was won by Sir George Hunter's handsome mare Whisper, ridden by one of New Zealand's best jockeys Wallv Clifford. In a field of fifteen she was last as they turned into the straight, and by skilful horsemanship on the part of Clifford she succeeded in beating Fraternite by a head, with the whole field bunched as they passed the winning post. Prior to the above event [Whisper was not classed as a stayer.
