Heavy showers interfered witb tramine operations at Riccarton on Saturday and very little fast work was done Waterline's two-year-old sister, at present running out at Stouyhurst, has been named Fast Passage. It is not intended to race her until next season. Sailor's Hone, of this pair has a I'oarlinrr filfv bv Day Comet at otony Lrst nnd is duo to foal shortly to the same sire. . Pakitere, the half-sister by Araurno to Toxeuma, promises to enjoy asu 8 " ful turf career. She waa prodaced only on three occasions aa a two-year-o d her record being a win, a second, and a third. - , * The successful and clean condurt ot Meetings held by the Napier Park Racing Club was favourably comment, ed upon by the president, Mr O. E. Twist, at the annual meeting. lam sure there is nothing to equal it in New Zealand," he said. "We have no enquiries. iWy steward works harj far the members who put n'm his position." The high reputation of the Napier Park's training course was also remarked upon by Mr Twist who said that ho hadbeen told that there was nothing better in _ Australia ot N®w Zealand. Its position was reflected in the fact that such an experienced owner as Mr T. H. LoWry had moved his stables back to Greenmaadows A tribute was paid to tlw valuable work which Sir George Clifford did for racing i» New Zealand by the president of the Napier Park Racing Club, Mr C. E. Twist, at the annual meeting of the club last week. Sir George Clifford held the _ reins and he kept racing clean," said Mr Twist. •'He was an estample to the Whole ot New Zealand. Few people realise what he has done for the sport." Algiers, a winner at Canterbury Park (Sydney) on Saturday, is engaged m the A.j.O. Derby. The victory of Paquito on Saturday wonld be consoling to New Zeal&ndei*s present, who evidently did not otherwise: enjoy a profitable day. His win, although described as not very igiprees- - ive, would nevertheless keep him at the head of the Metropolitan quotations, while Waterline would probably recede in favour as & result of his Caulfield i defeat. Wise* Force would probably create a mild surprise by beating Amounia at Caulfield on Saturday. He had a splendid record as a two-year-old, winning four races and gaining places in each of his remaining four starts. In his Ant race this season he was beaten by Waterline In the Underwood Stakes, one mile, on August 23rd, but the * extra furlong on Saturday apparently not only enabled him to turn the tables ok the New Zealander, but to finish better than the brilliant Amounis. The decision of the Dunedin Joekey (Hub)stewards to hold a benefit Meeting will meet general approval, aao the, fixture should be successful if favourable .dates can be secured. The iaofc that the Asbburton Racing Club now racee on four Saturdays makes a desp cut into available weeks during the season. Sucfo a monopoly should aot be allowed by * dub holding only ftw days' racing in a season (says the "Otaga Daily Tunes''). Only tiro Wingatui>trained horses lhavv lieen engaged at the Asbburton Meeting, and the principal reason is furnished by tha fact that the travelling expanses are too heavy for a one* day Meeting. Ashburton has practically lost all patronrae from Wingatui tinoe tha sdqption of the one-day pro* sranune, which, in effect, deprives local nones of a chance t$ participate in four days' racing during the season. The Invercargill-owned Cough made her first appearance in Australia on Angus* 30tn at a Mieeting of the Oaklanas Hont Club at Moonee Valley. The race was the Yuroke High-weight Handicap, of £3lO, run over iix furlongs. C3ouab started in the first division, in whioh she carried 8-6, and waa ridden by L. J. Ellis. She finished seventh. The time was I.lß}. Commenting on Cough the Melbourne •"Age" says: "The New Zealand mare. Cough, who gave the New Zealand Jockey. L, J.TSllis, an introduction to victoria by starting in this race, ran inconspicuously, but showed herself a mca»actioned mare. She can be expected to do better .before long. 1 ' TROTTING NOTES. Utr GL McMillan's brood mare, Sea Pearl, was shipped ,to Auckland on Friday, on a visit to the imported sire, .Frank Worthy. Amongst the mares that have been booked to visit Guy Parrish this year are four, the property of Mr W. T. Lowe.- These are Commander Bell, Wood lass, Rose Briar, and a mare by Peterets from Belle Bingcn. Captain Wrack was recently purchased by Mr 'G. 'J. Barton, and the Dunedin sportsman seems to have got hold.of a good stamp of pacer, if form in the Dash Handicap a« New Brighton can be taken as a guide. Captain Wrack finished very strongly under punishment, and he looks one that /rill go a journey. Several young trotters of distinct promise were seen out in the Improvers' Handicap at New Brighton, .including Kitty Parrish. a. four-year-old filly by Guy Parr isn—Royal Em. press, trained by J. N. Clarko. Though lacking racing exporience, this trotter , niiich, resembles White, Satiii in her fityle, of going, and in time she jnirv prove' as. good. Welcome Guy and JS« . Merit are other likely, sorts, but both arv very green at-present. •

Apex was well supported in the BurWood Handicap at Isew Brighton, but nt no etaga of the race did lie threaten danger. Ho was interfered with when Itegal Voyago broke up at the start, liul afterwards he did not seem to handle tho track to advantago. After tlia first race at New Brighton on Saturday, club members met Mr A. W. Owles and presented bim with a life membership badge of the club. The president, Mr W B. Thompson, referred to the great work done by Mr Owles, who had proved himself one of tho stalwarts of the club. His work was thoroughly appreciated- Mr Owles said he would still do his best to assist the club in the uplifting of the snort, for though he was 83 years of age, he oould carry on for some tune yet. At tho annual meeting of the Winton Trottirfg Club, Mr w, Norman announced his intention of retiring from the position of starter. He said he was getting too old, and, as he was breeding horses this coming season would be his last as a starter. Continuing, he said that if he had the honour to be appointed starter for the Winton Trotting Club's forthcoming fixture, bo would carry it out. He intended advising the Wyndham and Invercarfill Clubs that this season would be hio final year, and he suggested that these clubs confer with one another and »DOrt'"t nn nsaistnnt «tart*»r, who could do the starting in future. He was of the opinion that if the assistant put in a year with him he would be capable of carrying out the starting duties next year. "It is positively my last year," said Mr Norman, "as I have a paddock full of young ones, and I cannot be a starter and a comDetitor, too. There is only one thing T hope nnd that is that in future the stake for the big race will not be reduced, as I am confident of winning when I stop Nelson's Victory out." AUSTRALIAN RACING.
