Waterline is to make his first appearance in the Sydney area, and his effort in the Bosehill Cup, extending over eleven furlongs, will be closely followed in view of his later engagements. tie will be meeting two other Dominion stayers in in the Shade, and Gay Crest, and a close contest between thb well fancied trio for the Metropolitan Handicap should be staged. Class is strongly represented in the Hill Stakes, and the inclusion of Limerick fat the field is 4 pleasing feature. The flniiih 1b practically certain to be confined to Phar tap and Nightmarch again, but on this occasion the lattor ia likely to 'be closer to his vanquisher it the post, provided his rider has taken heed of his recent warning. MolUcon'a reappearance will lend additional interest, but he alio appears in the Stakes. Veilraond, the Derby favourite, will be in keen demand for Km Bosehill Guineas, and although he fin be meeting Calmond, a brother to Molliaon, and Rosendo. a brother id lampion and Bamulus, his prospects grttn very favourable. Oimabne's inclu&in the seven furlong Camelia Stakes not inggest a breakdown. The field ts this race included the miich disftuad Tom Finch, whose defeat last ggtmrtfty eansed a alight sensation in Hydney betting circles. First Sight, is tftitl strong opposition, and in iSsfltee of, his inability to get moving his chanee does not look hopeful. Tie Ashburton Gourity Baeing Club adopted thirty-five minute intermia for six racea 6n to-day's pro«ramme, the usual forty minutes being Mkmi to befora eaeh' trotting event.

Count Cavour is due' to make his reappearance in public in the Farewell Handicap at Ashburton to-day. He has got through some striking work of late, but cannot be expected to be dangerous amongst the speedy gallopers opposing him. Twelve months ago, Count Cavour ran third in the same event, to Pink Coat and Flair, and followed this up by similar placings in the Bangiora Cup, and Akaroa Handicap, and later ran third to Concentrate and Star Stranger in the Auckland Cup. He won the Auckland Racing Club Handicap at that Meeting, and after running unplaced in his next two engagements, the Clifford Plate and the Dunedin Cup. was put aside for the remainder or the season. He appears to be quite sound at present, and a similar programme will probably be followed with him this term. Biding engagements have been made for to-day's races at Ashburton, as follows!—M. Kirwan, Arrowmir, Haze; G. H. Murfitt, Audience, Sapient, Appeal; B. Coveny, Rascal, Hurly Burly, Tray Bond, Miss Bradbury, Flair; C. Garment, Btarshooterj J. W. Jennings, Boyal Love} A. Measervy, First Raid, Painkiller, Tarquinius, Discourse 5 J. T. Humphris, Tfoilus; C. Eastwood. Malmsey, Count Cavour; C. Hughes, Sleipner, Rapina, Don Jose, Nightdew; I.

Mackle, Black Mint; S. Wilson, Boyal Game; B. Brodic, Standard Bose. Absentees from. Ashburton to-day will include Gold Mint, Homecoming, Distrait, Shatter, and Jael. Haze (M. Kirwan) and After Ten (D. O'Connor) jumped two hurdles at Riccafton yesterday satisfactorily, and Gala Day (I. Tilson) executed a similar task at a fast pace. The safety number for a field on the Ashburton course is 18, and as there are twenty-two acceptors for the Trial Plate to-day, provision has been made for two divisions. This course will most likely not be required, as three of those earded are definitely not making the trip from Riccarton, and Other withdrawals are probable on the course. Paratoo still remains in the Hawke's Bay Guineas. The hame was omitted from the telegraphed list. f in thitr issue the Railway Department advertises particulars *f special train arrangements and excursion fares in connexion with the Geraldine races to be held at Orari on September 26th and 27th. Island Fastness, formerly owned by F. D. Jones, won a race at the Rosebery (Sydney) Ponies in September. He started favourite and covered the six and threewjuarter furlongs in 1.2G1. A week later, at the Victoria Park Pony Meeting, Light Hearted won a division of a si* furlong race and then accounted for the second division of the Victoria Park Handicap, one mil#,- on each occasion starting a strong favourite Light Hearted fcas ridden by It. Mat well, who had four successes during the afternoon, but had fines amounting to £2O inflicted on him for disobedience at the post. Fractiousness of his mounts was the cause of the trouble. Conjuror waa an acceptor for the Hurdle Race at Moonee Valley last | Saturday, but no mention was made oj his name when the results were cabled over at the week-end. Among the winners at Wanganui was Vandyke, who i» not the first of that name to race in New Zealand (says the Dunedin writer "Sentinel"). The first of the name waa got by Vaagttard from Lady's si*id, and was a well-known performer in his day. The last time the writer saw the Vanguard Vandyke waa many years ago, when reporting a Naieby meeting just before' that fixture became, 'defunct. On climbing up to the bwt seat of 'a four-in-hand team to reach the course one of the leaders seemed to have a familiar appearance. 4 An enquiry, found that It wst the original Vandyke. ; Some people seem to regard the Avondale Cup u a good proposition tor fitair Stranger. It must be remembersd, however, that he is better beyond a mils and a quarter than at that distance, and the nandicapper haa taken no risks with him in the matter of weight.

The Auckland galloper Bacchus will race no more. He, in company with Statesman, has left W. Kelso's stable. Both have been given away, and Bacchua will have the job in future of being a lady's hack in the country. He has not broken down, but had a very doubtful leg, and he wan pensioned oft before he went really amiss. Auda, who was nurchased in New Zealand last season by Mr D. J. t>avia* owner of Phar Lap. and was one of the horses brought from Melbourne recently by H. It. Telford, will not be a runner during the spring meetings. He is now holidaving at Windsor, and on resuming work ne will be taken over by the Victoria Park trainer <J. O'Rourke, who is supervising the preparation of a two-year-old for Mr Davis. Atlda showed plenty of pace on the tracks in the Dominion, but did not reproduce his form on racedays. When he first came to Randwick he was Phar Lap's regular working mate. TROTTING NOTES. Nominations for the Waikato T.C.'s Spring Meeting close on Tuesday. Nominations for the New Zealand Cup close on Thursday next. Acceptances for two trotting events at the Oeraldino Meeting Close on Monday. While driving Desert Bey in a trial on Thursday morning, W. J. Tomkin* son received a heavy fall and injured one of his wrißts. It is. doubtful Whether he will be well enough to drive Desert Bey in his Askburton engagement today. Though not exceptionally fast, the Addington track is in capital order and a big number of horses work each day. i'esterday was an off day and only a few horses were speeded up. F. G. Holmes has an addition to his team in the young trotter, Great Nelson, a brother to Great Bingen and Go. Great Nelson is a very promising trotter, and waß previously in J. Henderson's charge at Oatharu. As a three-year-old he put up a good performance in the New Zealand Trotting Stakes When he dead-heated with Groat Way. Vendome has not done much work of late, but she looks very well. At Addington. yesterday she was worked one mile and ft quarter without hopples. She did her work well, and It may not be long before J. J. Kennerlej* has her at the top of hor form. Kelp, Who has disappointed in several efforts in public, appears to be coming back to form, and he worked in a satisfactory manner yesterday. Wangadale, another of Kennerley's charges, whs let off with a light task. Free Advice and Willie Derby were Worked over two miles, a task that wa? accomplished in pleasing fashion. They wore assisted over the last mile by Locanda Boy. £). Bennett gave Native Prince solltl work over two miles, and the Native King pacer got through his task in his usual workmanlike style. He was assisted over the last mile and a half by Lifebuoy, in saddle. G. McKendry has effected some improvement in Chimer, who is pacing in resolute style. Chimer has been off the winning list for Some time, but his turn may not be far off. Baynut ran a good race at the teeent New Brighton Meeting, and V. Alborn may still further improve him. He worked well at Addington yesterday. Linkman, from the tame stable, was given work without the hopples over a mil*. One of the most promising young horses in work at Addington is a three* year-old bay gelding by Bey de Oro, in L. Cavalier's stable. The youngster has not yet faced the barrier, but he haa shown a lot of speed in his work. If not overdone this gelding should be heard of soon. Snowy Huon and Nor'-Wester, from B. Townley's (table, will be bracketed in the Selma Trot Handicap at Ashburton to-day. Polntal, a six-year-old gelding by tofan Pointer—First Beauty, at one time trained by D. Withers, is now in W. Barron's stable at Bangiora. Two useful three-year-olds in Hying Cloud, by Wraok—Pearlehild, and Colorado, by Wrack—Oiler Beauty, will be leen out in the Selma Trot Handiaap at Ashburton to-day, And In view of their Derby prospeeto their form will be watched with interest. Both wan bred at Durbar Lodge, Ashburton. Colorado, it will ba remembered, finished third to Lord Matehlight and Boyal Cbenanlt at the Hororata Meeting la April laat. The H. *. Nisoll bracket, Arethusa and Wrtekler, will see a abort pries in the Rakaia Trot Handicap at Ashburton to-day. Wraekler has already won the race twice, but en this ocession the ehaneea appear to be in favour of his etablemate. TROTTING MARE STOLEN. KISSING FOR A WBBK. A trotting mare,' the property of Mr George Rutherford, Waitohi Peaks, North Canterbury, waa stolen from a paddock in Spreydon during the night of Friday, September Bth, and although extensive enquiries have been made bjr the police, no trace of it has yet been found. By Sonoma Harvester from Wapiti, the mora ia stated by the police to be worth £3OO. The mar* waa in the keeping of Mr lrred Owen, Frnnkleigh street, Spreydon, for training purposes, and waa left in a paddock adjoining the house section on tit* Thursday evening. On Friday morning it waa gone. The wires of a fenee bounding the paddock had been out. Since then the matter has been in the handa of the Christehureh police, but the mare ia still undiscovered. The misting animal is desoribed as a bay trotting mare, aged four years. It was in the prooess ofoeing broken into hopples, was about fifteen hands in height, had « long, thin tail, and a small lump on the near hind hoek. DERBY WINNER DEAD. (tmiTXn mess association—si blkct&io TELZOBAPH —COPTEIOHT.) BERLIN, September 18. The Australian jockey Munro was riding B&ron Oppenheimer's German Derby winner Alba on the training track, when the colt's left hind leg snapped and the animal had to be destroyed. Munro has had nine successive wins on Alba, which had not been beaten in any race this season. METHVBN T.C. The following nominations vrtr# emlttsd from th« telegTßplitd Hit:—. IMt.

STEEPLECHASING ENDS.

LONG AND SHORT RACES* HAS THE SEASON BEEN SATISFACTORY ? (mciALLT WtUTTE* foil TBIS PHiSS.) [By JoaK F. MsNßtis.] With the recent oon&tißion of the Otago Sunt Club races, we may say that the Bteeplechaserß* season is tin* ished. They may be turned out to elover. And I think it goes without I sftyieg that the herses which provided us with so mueh of out winter sport have earned a good r«stk But whether, at the elose of the fence and ditch season, we can look back { and say that the steepleehasing was entirely satisfactory is rather a different matter. I fancy a good many sportsmen were disappointed. * * There was a great deal of comment at Ricearton during Gf&nd National Week on the poorness in quality, the lack of horses with a good appearance, and the shortage of competitors in the Grand National Steeplechase. Indeed, I have heard it expressed lately by more than a few that the jumpers of to-day havo declined in the greatness and strength that distinguished the steeplechasers of times gone by. This may be so; it is a controversial point. If it is the case, it woilld be interesting to try to find the reason of it. It may be that the whole thing, boiled down, is a matter of finance. For it must be remembered that to produce a first-class steeplechaser there is much mofd expense In training nowadays, with the usual amount of risk. Whereas in stakes (though granted they have increased Within the last thirty j'ears) there are only the three big racing clubs at Auckland, Wellington, and Christchureh With worthwhile prizes. It can be realised that all these conditions together do not entice the racing owner to pay as much attention to the long obstaftled races as to the shoit, flat races. And perhaps it is natural because of this that the breeding of steeplechasers should aufrer to a certain extent.. Also, it is on tho cards that the foundation of stock suitable to the breeding Of Bteepleehasers hag declined. Aby how, it is true that most of tho bloodstock imported nowadays eomes from « non-staying strain. I suspect that the tendency At the present time towards short distance racehorses is due to the frtct that nearly all the racing club# fill their programmes with Short distance races and therefore encourage sprinters only. It appear® to me that this is detrimental to the breed of racehorse. If it is so it is<& Meat pity, and an effort should be made to put the short distance races in a less predominating position. | « ft New Zealand is not alone in suffering j from a dearth of long-distance races. I Very much the same thing is happening In England. "Rapier," of the "Bporting and Dramatic," remarks: "Genuine stayers are few, especially in the top elass. Classic winners do not now take part in Goodwood Cup races. There are too many other waye available for them to gain distinction." «; # . The reason for the great preponderance of short raaei in New Zealand is of eonr«6, that It ia desired to get as hig a field as possible, and thus attract a greater amount of backing from the racing public. There has always been a greater number of entrants for tho short races, and the present poliey of the elubs seems to be to take every advantage of this condition, and strain to get every jot of financial aid possible. For, as everybody knows, the burden of, the racing elubs is no light one-—especially the small country elubs, who are oontinuallv finding themselves embarrassed financially. To .carry on in a manner successful enougn to keep up the grounds, to provide decent stake*, and in general* advance the interest of racing, the elubs most get the turnover. Something of a drop, if m»t quite such en enormous one, in the turnover of the totalisator lately throughout the Dominion, was, I think,- to be espeeted when one consider* the effects on the mind of the general publia of the taxe* that have been imposed in so many place*. Add to thia the apprehension of an increase of tax on the totalisator itself, and it is easy to set why many » backer turns into a jibber, * * There is no doubt that racing, like many other industries—sad it is an industry as well as a sport—ls passing through perilous times.: It i* to be hoped that recovery will take place before any of the elubs are eripipled, besause the joys of racing are not wrapt np in betting alone. There is the physical benefit of the countryside atmosphere; relaxation to the mind) pleasure in seeing th« well turned out, beautifully made, spirited horses; stimulus in ths lawns and gardens, the welldressed people, the gay colours, and the holiday mood. It was, I think, Sir George Clifford who once remarked that "the fresh air and healthy interest of our racecourses may prove more beneficial than the extension of many hospitals."

JOINT INTERESTS. UNUSUAL TROTTING CASE. At the Amberley Racing Club's Mooting hold laxt May, the nominations for the Kowai Trot Handloap inoluded Lydia Pointer, in the ownership of Mr A. Simmons, trained by 0. S. Donald, while Golden Morn waa nominated *a owned and trained by D. P. Mahoney. Before tho race it was discovered that D. P. Mahoney owned Lydia Pointer, who was raced by A. Simmons. The JudioiaJ Committee decided that Lydia Pointer and Golden Morn should be coupled on the totalisator, and that D. P. Mahoney should be fined £6 for failing to notify the club of his interest in Lydia Pointer, as required by Rule 423, Clause A, of the Rules of Trotting. The Trotting A»sooi*tion was informed of the facts by the Amberley Racing Club. ■. The Association -replied that as A. Simmons was the nominator of Lydia Pointer he should have advised the club of D. P. Mahoney's interest, and the Association advised the Amberley Club that Simmons should have been fined for the breach of Rule 188 instead of D. P. Mahoney, also that Rule 429, Clause A, was Hot applicable in eimer case. The Judicial Committee of the Amberley Racing Club subsequently met and took further evidence from A. Simmons, Who stated that he was not familiar with the Rules of Trotting and did not think it was necessarv to notify the club of the partnership when starting hi# horse. ' The committee decided to fine Shut. nions £1 for breach of Rule 188, the chairman remarking that Simmons had been quite honest about the case and under the circumstances he thought a small fine would be mifficient.

PROSPBCTB FOR TO-DAY. The interest of BoUthern racegoers will be centred in the Ashburton County Raolng Club's Spring Meeting to be held to-day. Well-filled fleldfc will be paraded and as the fixture inaugurates the spring racing AS far an the South Inland i» concerned, the programme offers a special attraction tu rafiegoera. A special train is tinted to leave Cliristehurch at 10.5 arriving at the Afihbuftofl Siding at 11.46, and the return Main will leave the siding at 4.50 p.m., reaching the City at 7.6 p.iQi. The programme will be carried out as under t

AftM Ten .. v V Vty area .. » » The above field must be considered weil balanced and includes two promis4tig novices in Hate and Quarterdeck, while another in After Ten has only competed in hurdle races on two previous Oceanians, winning his second essay. The first-named pair will be in neod 'of experience, and After Ten has not been jumping well enough to point to his chances. It is difccnlt to go past the form of the reasoned candidates, and the issue should rest between Pangolin, Troilus, and Gala Day.

This event promises to provide a close contest. On Top is due to compete, and as he seems to be right again, he will set the remainder a difficult taski Sleipner'S second to Noteworthy over the same journey at the National Meeting entitles him to serious Consideration, and Painkiller and Sapient have also been galloping well on the tracks. The favourite division may be comprised of Sleipner, On Top, and Painkiller.

The Btilma Trot Handicap should pfo' vide a good race, and the short limit of 48 yards will give the bftck-matkers every chance. Desert Rey, Ayrmont Chimes, and the Snowy Huon—Nor* Wester bracket should fill the places.

Black Mint and Koyal oame win be bracketed in the above, making a onedividend field. This pair have had plenty of recent raclhg and should be in most demand. Btarßhooter has the best credentials of the remainder and suggests being the bracket's most dangerous opponent. nnS .mtkiaT. Dt IVV «.! ihn »M*a ft#

This is a mixed-age field, ranging from two-year-olds to five-year-olds. There is little recent form to guide investors, but on a firm track, Tray Bond is likely to recoup the losses incurred in her defeat at Wingatul lost Saturday. Other smart sprinters include Bay Queen, Bellbird, Appeal, Royal Love, Standard Rose, and Might Recital, while Mr W. H. Balllngor's two two-year-olds will help towards an interesting race. Tray Bond, Royal Love, and Bay Queen seem the most likely to fight out the finish.

This must be considered a very use* ful field. Desert Song lias come right during the past couple of months, and. is certain to be in strong demand. In* terest will attach to Gustavo's effort, especially if he is to be a Derby aspirant. Rapina has done well lately, and the form at the National Meeting of Gompris, a New, Zealand Cup candidate, cannot be overlooked. Indication* point to the prospects of Dsssrt Song, austavo, and Rapina. 4.B—*AR!SWILL HANDIOA?, tf ill iw,

Arrowmir will probably command a short price in this event. He is at the ton of his form just now. and his task does not appear difficult. Tlair may offer strong opposition, while should On Top be produced, he will have to be respected. The final issue should rest between this trio in the order named. a 48-—HAItAIA TROT HANDICAP (In Ut-

Arethuia and Wwekler will be bracketed -in the R&kaia Trot Hanai* cap. and they will command strong support. Most opposition may bo expected from Achray and Play Wave.
