Tn connexion with the Ashburton ejecting to-morrow, a special train irill leave Christchurch at 10.5 a.m., and the return train -will arrive in the City at 7.6 p.m. \ Sailor's Hope, dam of Waterline. has produced a filly lo,il to Day Comet. Conditions were again favourable for track work at Kiccarton yesterday. There was a fair amount of early work, but this wa3 mostly confined to horses not due to race until the later spring Meetings. The bulk of the mornings operations ware carried out after the breakfast hour, and some useful tasks were executed oil No 0 grass track. The going was on the dull side, and the usual fast times on this track were not in evidence. Starshootcr and Rascal were not ridden out to cover five furlongs in 1.6 1-3. Don Jose finished clear of Sleipnar at the end of six furlongs, taking 1.19 1-5. The former has come to hand well after his respite, and should earn some\ honours during the spring. Appeal beat Moratorium over five furlongs in 1.5 2-5. Haze- had the measure of Troilus over the concluding stages of a six furlong gallop, executed in 1.18 3-5. After Ten and Gold.Mint comfortably covered the same ground in 1.21. Painkiller easily accounted for Rapiria ina smartly-run six furlongs, occupying 1.17 3-5, the fastest gallop of the morning. Audience was not extended to record 1.20 for six furlongs, and Malmsey strode over an easy mile in 1.50. Arrowmir gave Kentish Lady a break at tha start of a five furlong task, and beat her home comfortably in 1.4. He will again be ridden by M. Kirwon to-morrow. 'On Top had a clear advantage from Miss Mereia after reeling off five furlopgs in 1,3 3-5. He showed a big imSovement'on his previous gallop with ias Mereia, when the latter had him well beaten half a furlong from home. On Top will bo ridden by D. Cotton in the Hack.Handicap to-inoy-tow, aha if produced again m the day will nave the services of C. Saxon.

Hotaecoimag ami Night Recital strode over half a mile m 51 8-6, and Bay Queen recorded 51 for a similar sprint. The Haider and Te Awbina were associated in a five furlong gallop. The former had to be held back over the fin* couple of furlongs, but To A whin* finished on the better to beat him to the post in 1.4. Count Cavouf gave further enoonragement by making Gustavo do his Jjest throuftbout a six furlong task, the pair finishing together in 1.19 3-6, 'tlair and Minerva) recorded 62 8-6 for half a mile, 'out the former could have done better if required. Dispo a bad track' worker, ran sis furlongs in 1.22. and Robin Hood Arid Eaton Hall occupied 1.6 2-5 for five furlongs.' Desert Song arid Nightdew wore responsible for a usefuF'seven furlong gallop in 1.83. The former, will be ridden by I. Tjlson in to-morrow's engagement at Ashburton. llurly Burly was allotted • strong work over fire furlongs. She will be> the sola Chokoborp representative at Ashburton. 7 It was reported some weeks back, through advices received from Australia-; that Vaficare, had proved mot to l.p.ih foal this season, but such has, fortunately for all concerned, proved incorrect/ ns she recently produced a filly; to Magpie, and is now to be jnnted with Night. Raid. • 'Lord Arghsy, who figures in the Trial Plata at Ashburton to-morrow, is one of the Irian-bred youngsters purchased >by Mr J. M. Samson during his present trip abroad, and is attached to F. Tnlford's stable at Washdyke. * A North Island writer suggests that H. Gray may be associated with some or the Greenwood-owned horses during the present season. Gray will be riding -at Avondale to-morrow, his mounts comprising Star Stranger, Te Hoia, . Arch Eagle, Golden Sceptre, Principal, and Lady Quex. Mr W. H. Bollinger's team of five Black Mint, Royal Game, Painting, and* the two-year-olds, Invite and Flower, arrived from the north yesterday, and will be quartered at Kiccafton in the meantime. The firstnamed pair are well known to South Islanders,' and they undoubtedly fill the rolo as two of the hardiest horses in training for some time. It is computed that Black Mint has contested 1*27 races for fifteen wins, eleven seconds, and seventeen thirds, and has earned £4148 in stakes. His mote, however, has competed in no less than 180..races, his record being 25 wins, eighteen seconds, am] sixteen thirds, to the- value of £4694. ' Amongst the winners at a Melbourne Meeting last week was Regadcon by Silverado, who was at the Kinloch stud for the oast two seasons, but has been returned to his Melbourne owner for this term. He is represented by several promising yearlings in the South Island.

The Uosahill Racing Club's Spring ; Meeting will engage the attention of New Zealanders to-morrow. Principal interest will centro in the Hill Stakes, of 750 sovs, weight-fcr-age, one mile, in which Phar Lap and Nightmarcli will again clash. Second prize is worth £l5O. Tho owners of Pink Coat have decided, rather than risk a permanent breakdown of their brilliant young horse, to retire him to the stud this season. Adelphi had his second race in Australia at Tattersall's Meeting last Saturday. He led to the home turn, and altogether made a promising showing. A minor race may come his way before returning home. High Disdain was the medium of an extensive plunge in the Tramway Handicap at liandwick on Saturday, but he failed badly. Another, in the three-vear-old Tom Pinch, was considered unbeatable in this race, but after leading to the distance, he retired from the contest. Of the New Zealand horses competing at Randwick last Saturday, Paquito was at remunerative odds, not far from double figures, for the Spring Handicap, while Gay Crest's price ran well into double figures. Heavy support for the equal favourites, J irst Acre and Eaglet, helped towards the liberal market for the place getters. First Sight was a staunch favourite for his race, but again began slowly, and has gone out of favour for the Epsom Handicap: Hard Words and Goshawk were also heavily backed oy their xonnexions in their races. \s a result of his two recent wins, Paquito has been installed a short priced favourite for the Metropolitan Handicap. Hunting Cry had his first rt-.ee in Australia at Tattersall's Meeting last Saturday, and, unsupported, .»"«"» near the rear of the field in tne Tramway Handicap. When' the English mare Sweet Charity was purchased by Mr A. **• Williams for BCD guineas at the hnloch Btud disperaal, she had a filly loai Lry Martian at foot, and the youngster. Sympathetic, now threo years old, is in work in J. H. Jefferd's stable feweet Charity was at the time m foal to Limond, and she produced another fillv for which the name Clemency was chosen. Clemency, however, has .suffered from a deformity since birth, and as she is never likely to be racing proposition she has been sent. on a visit to Hunting Song. According to a stofv that has been going'the rounds of the race meetings for some time past, a verj'interesting position has arisen concerning a juvenile imported from aus£flia (says "Carbine" in .the New Zealand Referee). Bought in the sale ring there as a yearling, it was resold in New Zealand to, an owner v. ho intended to race :t this season as a two-year-old. However, an expert who the horse's teeth 'says his mouth shows him to be a three year-old. The new owner is not at au Plised, and steps are being taken: to clear the matter up. 1 The hardly be accepted as an guide, if satisfactory j proof can he produced from the breeding establishment concerned that no mistake was made at that end. The position might become verv interesting. Cable advice has been received from H. B. Lorigan, in Sydney, to the effect that Gesture will return on the boat leaving there to-day week. The Chief Buler filly was very well and forward when she left Wellington, but she has done badly since arrival. Thedecision to return her so early show, the lack of improvement in her, and she is to oe Bpelled when she gets back. TROTTING NOTES.

*'No4nationa i<* ti« Waikato T.O.'s Spring Meeting close on Tuesday. Nominations for "the New Zealand Cot close at 12 noon on Thursday neit. Todd Lonzia is likely to make his first appearance in a raee at the Greymouth Meeting next month. A. Cox is handling a good-looking pacer, in a gelding by Aerial Bingen from Gallndo Belle, that was bred in the North Island., There is breeding here of the best, for Aerial Bingen is by Nelson Bingen—lAdy Zeppelin, by Botbschild—Lilian IX, by Janckvo, Belle ws by Galindo from Wild Belle, by Wildwood—Fannie Belle, by General Tracey. Galindo Belle is a half-sister to a good performer in Dillon BelL Although Great Peter is apparently »U right again, there etUl remains a doubt as to whether he will stand a thorough winding-up preparation, saya the "New Zealand Beferee." « will be remembered that after »*earehing preparation for the Otahuhu Cup Great Peter contracted internal trouble and was scratched for the event, even though he was taken to 1 the course. Later en, after working satisfactory, the son of Nelson Bingen was wound up for the Auckland Winter Meeting, a»d a few days before that fixture he again Buffered from an internal disorder. He was started at the Meeting, but failed to make an impression. The eight-year-old pacing mare Globette (Globe Derby—OwhyetteX was recently killed by lightning at Kwelkan. says the Australian "Trotting Record." Globette was imported to New South Wales from Victoria in 1927, and in several engagements in the metropolitan area failed to. reveal her true form. Globette, however, did better in tn« country, where in Beven Btarts she was successful on one occasion, and secured two seconds, and a similar number of thirds. trotting races are held in Japan, where the standard-bred horse is raised, trained, and raced.. There are eleven registered clubß in Japan, each of which holds si*day Meetings twice a year. The trotting races are over a mile and a half and two miles. No imported horse can race in Japan, but horses are imported to improve the breed, so that the improvement in the breed is "low. The Nippon Race Club at Yokahama can accommodate 10,000 people in their principal grandstand, which has three elevators to. carry spectators to the various levels. KOSEHILL RACES.
