The brilliant Nelson-owned and trained mare Dilworth, who broke down at, the Wellington T.C.'s Meeting Jast January, was last week fired in the hope that she may stand another preparation. Wrack Gelding Drops Dead. While exercising on the WaimatC track a five-year-old pacer by Wrack from Logan Princess, trained by A. Smith, dropped dead recently. The gelding was a half-brother to Begal Voyage. A Change of Quarters. J. Young has a recent addition to his stablo in the five-year-old pacing gelding To Kinga. An Early Prospect. According to northern reports Prince Pedro, judgod on the form shown on the Auckland circuit, is a likely pacer to win the Adams Memorial Cup, to be decided at the Auckland T.C.'s Winter Meeting. His victory in the Thames Cup, in which he downed a good field, was accomplished in rare stylo and ovor the final furlong he toypd with his opponents. The son of Pedro Pronto was not produced again till the Cambridge Mooting last Saturday, and again lie won. Certainly ho did not have much to spare and ho was driven right out to win, but ho would have been very unlucky had ho lost, because he must have lost eight or ton lengths at tho start. He went very fast when he did hit his straps and ho was soon in a handy position/ but was always racing on tho outside of either one or two horses. Prince Pedro will bo on the front of the Adams Cup, and though there will bo some smart pacers in the race, he also is smart. B. A. McMillan has the gelding very well. Special Passenger Service. In connexion with the Oamaru T.C.'s Meeting, to bo hold to-morrow, a special passenger train will depart from the Christchurch station at 7.7 a.m. ? and will arrive at Oamaru in ample time for tho first race. Tho return train is timed to leave Oamaru at 6.10 p.m., and is due in Christchurch at 11 p.m. Her First Start in New Zealand. Nell- Volo, the Canadian-bred maro imported by F. J. Smith some months ago, is to have her first race in the Dominion at tho Thames Meeting tomorrow. Noll Volo is a four-yoar-old filly by Peter Volo from Katie O'Neill, and sho will be tho first of tho stock of Peter Volo to race in New Zealand. Flora Volo, a mare by the same sire, was imported to New Zealand by Mr J. B. McKenzie, but she was immedi- | atcly put to the stud. Peter Volo, at a fee of 200 guineas, is premier siro at the Walnut Hall Farm, Kentucky, where such noteworthy stallions as Guy Axworthy and San Francisco became famous, and where last year's champion three-year-old , colt, Protector, is now in service. Filled Well. The trotting events on the programme for the South Canterbury Jockey Club's Meeting have drawn exceptionally good nominations, there being a total of sixty entries, thirty a race. Derby Thorpe, Prince Boydon, Taxpayer, Indianapolis, Eros, and Golden Cross, are Sapling Stakes candidates engaged in the Opihi Trot Handicap. Last of the Southerners. Mr Penalty, who is an acceptor for the Goldfiolds Handicap at the Thambs Meeting, to be held to-morrow, is the last of the South Island contingent to race oh the Auckland circuit. According to northern reports he should have finished closer than third, tho place he occupied at the finish of the principal event at Cambridge last Saturday. For Oamaru. Although the tracks were not suitable on Wednesday and yesterday morning for Gold Country to be given a final trial in order to see if all effects of his recent leg trouble had disappeared, he will be' a starter at the Oamaru Meeting to-morrow, when he will be' a. well-fancied candidato in whichever race hj& starts. Has Recent Form.

Mitchie Chimes, who finished third on the first day of the Forbury Park Meeting, and second to Red Spur on. the concluding day, going a mile and a half in 3min 27 4-ssec, must on those displays be given a good chance of success in the New River Trot, to be decided at the Southland R.C.'s Meeting today. - circuit Concludes To-morrow. The extra meeting being held By the Thames Trotting Club to-morrow will bring the Auckland country circuit to an- end, and though under prevailing conditions profits are not looked for, all the meetings on this circuit were well patronised and the financial results should in no instance be serious. The racing began well and finished well, particularly the chief event at each meeting, which always provided a stirring contest and an exciting finish. Although the stake money on Saturday is on the small side, goo*d fields have been accepted for. RACING IN ENGLAND. NEWMARKET STAKeI (ÜBITED PHESS ASSOCIATION—B» EJ.BCTRIO TELBGRArn—COPYKIOHT.)
