Short but Creditable Record. i:ov;t!

The dam of the rair, Sports Queen, is from I'ranium, who, in addition to reaching high class herself, produced Wedding March, Aberfcldy, t'hronjadvnp, and Lord Star. . Up to ■ late.

TROTTING NOTES. Reminder. ' . .; Nominations for the -Now Lnghton Trotting Club's Meeting, to be held on ' September 3rd, dose on Thursday, at noonA True Champion. rt is not often that Harold Logan is allowed to start at tho remunerative price that he did in the National Handicap yesterday, the general opinion being that he could hardly be at Tjis best to Bee out a solidly run two miles on such a short preparation, but nc proved the contention all wrong, and when ho was within striking distance in sixth place with half a mile to go, he showed that he was a real class horse by Mb great run from there to the post. Even when in difficulties in battling out the finish he quickly righted himself and he triumphed in the manner of the true racehorse he last success was in tho Now Zealand Free for All, decided last November. . Stud Bookings. Mr J. E. Corrigau, of Ilaweru, has booked Lady Pointer and a Harold Dillon mare, the dam of Lord Leslie, to Mr P. Holmes's imported stallion Frank "Worthy. Lomar has boon retired from the race-track and will visit Urattan Loyal. Successful Trainers. -Winning training honours were distributed among thirteen trainers at the meeting just concluded; J. Bryce (3) headed tho list, while those with two successes each were D. Withers, J. I>. Smith, D. Teahop, J. Young, W. J. Tomkinson, C. 8. Donald, B. J. Humphreys, J. 8. Shaw, and J. A. Smaill. Those with a single victory were A, Cox, K. B, Berry, and W. J. Morland. .7. Bryce, jun., headed tho horsemen's list with three wins. Then came J. McLennan (2), D. Withers (2j, L. Frost (2), D. Teahea (2), B. Young (2), J. S. Shaw (2), A. Holmes (2), W. J. Tomkinson (2), and B. B. Berry, M. Holmea, C. S. Donald, C. King, and V. Alborn one each.

Winning Owners. Mr W. G. Deyell through the agency of bis one representative, Red Shadow, topped the winning owners' list with a total of £825. Others well up wero Mr G. J. Barton £SGO, and Miss E. Hinds £540. A Useful Purchase. Tactless has put himself on tho right side of the ledger for his new owner, Miaa E. Hinds, who now has no reason to regret having purchased the gelding at Mr H. W. Aker's dispersal sale loss than three months ago. Tactless is a seven-year-old gelding, who appears only now to be coming to his best, and he should do further good service for his new owner. B. J. Humphreys lias not had the pacer long, but he has effected a good deal of improvement in him.

Form Worked Out Well. Form proved an excellent guide at the Addiugtou meeting just concluded, as no fewer than four horses scored double victories, namely, Arctotia, Red Shadow, Eureka Boy, and Gunfire. Red Shadow was started four times for two firsts, ono second, and a fourth, but Eureka Boy was produced only twice, and achieved success each time. Tactless ran second, then won, his starts numbering two. Somcrby had one major and two minor placings in his three starts. Herod ran third and first in the two races he contested. Gold Country ran second, first, and fourth in his three outings. Todd Lonzia won on the first day, was third on the second dav, and second on the concluding day, while First Wrack, who contested the same races, was in the money ou each occasion, but she did not secure a win.

Unlucky. Somcrby. who showed such consistent form 'ut the August meeting, would have, with just a little more lucK, won the Heathcoto Handicap yesterday instead of finishing such a close third, lie was securely boxed in practically the length of the straight, but for which ho probably would have returned a. sensational dividend. Being regarded more as a sprinter, Brcntlight and Steel All were the only horses carrying fewer tickets, the distance of the race being two miles. A Fine Trotter. Biddy Parrish began better in the Adding ton Handicap than she usually does, but even so she was soon back among those near the rear of tho handicap. Once she was firmly settled in her stride she had tho field buried for speed, and it was her sprint along the back tho last time which gave her tho victory. This mare, who began racing as a iive-year-old—-she. is now sevenhas rapidly reached the best class, and is earning" wide popularity among followers of tho trotting sport by her exhibition of faultless aetiou and determination. It was only at tho spring meeting of tho Metropolitan Trotting Club seven years ago that Eoso Peters, dam of Biddy Parrish, won her last race, a saddle- event for unhoppled trotters. < ~~ PAKURANGA HUNT CLUB.

CANTERBURY J.O.

GRAND NATIONAL MEETING. TO-DAY'S FIELDS REVIEWED. The Canterbury Jockey Club's Grand National Meeting will bo-concluded at Uiccarton today. There is every prospect of favourable weather again provailing, and the track will provide tinner going than on Thursday. The programme is as follows: 11.31 a.m. —■ AYLESBURY STEEPLECHASE HANDICAP, Of .100 soys. Hack conditions. .About two miles and a halt. OKOPUA 11 8. Was going well when lie fell on Thursday. Will ho difficult today if better handled than previously. VALVES 11-1. Practically a fresh horse. Not his fault that ho fell at, first fence in National. Has a good chance. ORIPLAMB 10-10. Boos not appreciate Kit-carton country. APACHE 10-7. Likely to iinprQYO considerably as a result of his first day'g race. SIR RICHARD 9-0. Was in front when he crashed on Thursday. GAY JIM 0-o. May improve, but hardly seasoned- enough. DIAMOND JACK 9-0. Will be prominent again for a good portion of the journey. MARCO POLO 9-0. Does not appeal. Thuro are some proved steeplechasers in this event, and spectacular jumping is promised. Okopua. Apache, and Valves may light out the finish.

12-11 p.m.LONOEEACII HANDICAP, Of 130 SOV3. Hack conditions. Six furlongs. KAKARA 9-11. fian an encouraging race on Thursday, her first for somo time. Has plenty of weight. NIGHT RECITAL 9-4. Kvideutly could not act in Thursday's going. May do better hore. IRISH CHIEFTAIN 8-12. Won over six furlongs at Trentham with G. Humphries in the sadle. MATAA 8,-S. Jlado Bound finishing run on Thursday. Coast representatives are better than many racegoers think. LAN'S MARCH 8-7. Does not appeal on Thursday's form. HURLINGHAM 8-7. A promising brother to Itanolagh. May create a surprise. PALANTUA S-(i. Had Topthoru doing his best in Cashmere Plate. WEALTH 8-3. No recent form. HUNTING CALL 8-1. Was prominent to the false rail on Thursday. WORSHIP SO. Not on Cashmere form. GRAMPIAN SO. Not on Cashmere form. LORD MASHAM 8-0. Later on in career. REBEL SONG 8-0. No form. NATURAL 8-0. By Martarmn. Slays on ■well, but not yet. ISADORE 8-0. No recommendation. WESTERN LIGHT 8-0. No recommendation. This race will bo as difficult to win as it is to sort out likely fancied candidates. Adhering to form displayed to date, I'alantua, Irish Chieftan, ami Mataa should dispute favouritism.

12.51 p.m.— SYDENHAM - HURDLE RACE HANDICAP. 'Of 300 sovs. 'fivo miles.

CAPTAIN'S GIFT 11-0. Had the National Hurdle Kacp won at two miles-. Will keep to-day's field again busy, but extra -weight IMb may stop him. PADDON 11-0. liaised Mb. Appeared as if in -want of race in National, and will boa different proposition to-day. Was slightly interfered -with by I'ahu falling in front of him. MEMBO 10-11. Won Nalionnl with 9-0. Will lind condiiiona more difficult for him thau on Thursday. NUKUMAI 10-11. Was not threateninbg any danger when ho foil at last fence in National. Must take a back berth in this speedy company. PULL MARK 10-6. No line from Thursday's race. Kan poor second to Piultlon in Trenthnm Hurdled, but was outclassed in Winter Hurdles. Must linvo given oilier grounds for his second favouritism in National. PAHU 0-13. Was at full pressure when he misjudged the last fenea in National. If he suffered no ill-offocts will bo capable of another good raeo to-uy. ANTRIM BOY 0-13. Impressed by hjs. bold showing for two miles of Thursday's journey. Will have, to bo considered. LUMINARY 9-12. Not on his National display. NASSOCK 9-0. Will have to improve a" lot. This will bo practically tbo Grand National over again, and another intercKting race is certain to be staged. Paddon, Palm, and Membo will probably be the best supported.

1.41 p.m.— STYx' HURDLE RACE HANDICAP, Of 100 sovs. Hack conditions. Once round and a distance.

IMOKBNA 11-2. "Ou National showing would appear to hold this opposition safe. .DAINTY WAYS 10-11. Showed littlo of her first day's dash on Thursday, evidently ' feoling the effects of racing. JAYSON 10-9. Form at Trontham wa» promising, but poor at lias bis chance in this race if ho is over to make good over hurdles. NINE OP SPADES 9-13. Most discussed horse at Jticcarton on Thursday. Should beat Dainty Ways again. ROYAL MINT 90. He has been retired soveral times, but apparently is being given another chance. Cost lOgna in sale ring over two years ago, but lot more since. JAEL 9-0. A novico at the game. A two-dividend field will ho more appreciated by all concerned than tho unfortunate response on Thursday. A fast run race should be recorded, and tho final issue may be confined to Morcna, Jayson, and Nino of Spades.

2.26 p.m.— LINCOLN STEEPLECHASE, Of UOO sovs. About tlirco miles,

BILLYBOY 12-12. A .good horso's weight, but he is capable, of carrying it. PARIS 11-2 Is duo for a win. Unfortunate that he loses so much by faulty jumping, as thoro is no doubt about his solidity. SNOWFALL 10-4. Would havo- to improve, and this is not likely at his lime of life. LUCESS 10-'t. Failed to complete course twice. "\Vill not be in Rar.li keen damand over this dUlanco as ou Thursday. ROYAL VISITOR 9-3;-!. Has proved hinir solf at meeting.. Has to bo respected again. . CALHAM 9-4. A fair chance, but not in class of top weights. TARAMOA 04. Will, bo bracketed with Paris. DEPORTMENT i)-0. No strong appeal. NYLOTIS 9-0. Not up to standard. PETERETTE 9-0. Will not bo far away at i ilnish. The throe placed horses in the Grand National Steeplechase and the two dividend payers in the Beaufort Steeplechase, as well as the winners of tho Enfield Steeplechase and Hunt Cup, will meet in this race, which should provide the best contest of the week. Billy Boy, Paris, and Royal Visitor are' likely to . compriso tho placed division. ■•. ~

3.11 p.iu.— HEATHCOTE HANDICAP, Of 100 eovs. Ono mile. COMPEIS 10-2, Did nor liavo a favourable run on Thursday. Has his opportunity liere if not much dead-weight carried. RED HECKLE 9-11.

Will he in strong favour in whichever ho parades. Is not badly treated in face o£ recent performances—four wins imd a second in five starts. RAMO S-.i;l. Was "knocking" on Thursdav. Is -well placed hero, but journey hardly far enough. RATIONAL 11. 8-11. Ran two* solid races at meeting. Is a distinct possibility. COLONEL CYGNUS 8-6. Slow away in Winter Cup, and beaten early in Thursday's race. Dcnd-liealed for second place in a mile raco at Trentham after failing on first day. Thrives on racing. WATER POWER S-5. Has proved herself a solid galloper, but up against strong opposition. SEMPER PARATUS 8-0. Raa well on Thursday, hut i>ot U P to tn ' B standard. GAY COURT 8-0. Fniled to run on ovor final stages inila huck raco on Thursday. DON JOSE 8-0. No recent form. WEATHERLY 8-0. Not up to class. RAVINE 8-0. Not up to class. TAKU TAMA 8-0. Not up to class. CONSONO 8-0. Not up to class. Good form over a mile is represented in this field, and speculation will bo widely distributed. _ A trio likely to engage most attention comprise Compris,".Uetl Deckle, and Merry 'Peel.

3.51 p.m.— REDCLIFPS HANDICAP, Of l.'O. sovf. Had; conditions. Bevcn furlongs. NORMANDY 9-1 :s. Wad an atirnctivo ivin with 0-:t over six furlongs on Thursday, iiiiisliiiiK btroii','ly. KAKAEA 0-9. Iu Longboach Handicap. WOODFULL 0-5. Rau pood race into third place on Thursday. Will bo in demand. SALTPOT 9-2- Was one of the front division to straight iu milu and. a quarter race ou Thursday.

Much will depend on the fortunes of candidates at the start and over the early stages. A keen tussle should take place, and tho most prominent at tbo right end may bo Woodfull, Normandy, and Tvakara.

•1.31 p.m.— SELWYN HANDICAP, Of 160 kovs. Seven furlong. MEPEISANT 0-0. First race for s.omo time.' LORD VAL l'-8. Looks likuly to be ihins'ciMERRY PEEL 0(>.

Led into the straight in Islington Handicap. Worth watching. TOBACCOLAND 8-0. No recommenda-. tion, COLL 8-0. No recommendation. The meeting will bo brought to a conclusion with ono ol the most difficult of tho week's problems. Providing Merry l'eel is missing, investors will probably extend most support to lloyal .Bengal, Lord Val, and Kinging Cheer.
