Kecsing: Diatomous. A Wise Change. For the first time for many years the Wellington Racing Club has adopted the idea of holding tho two race days of the autumn meeting in succession, thus doing away with the spare day in between. The change has undoubtedly been appreciated by owners and trainers, and in times such as at proscut other clubs would be well advised to follow Wellington's lead. The arrangement made for both the forthcoming Oamaru and South Canterbury meetings to hold their fixtures on Thursday and Saturday may be thought wise to take advantage of the Thursday halfholiday in those districts, but there aro owners and trainers who would be keener on patronising the meetings, if they were not involved in the extra expense to cover the *'off" day. Put tp the Test, There is a possibility that Aladdin may be at Trentham for to-morrow's programme. He has so far survived the track tasks allotted him at Riecarton, but hia owner has" thought that a trip to Trentham and a race there will be a more satisfactory test. Racing at Westpprt. The stakes for the Wcstport .Tockey Club's autumn meeting total £I3OO, with fivo trophies comprising two silver cups and three, gqld-mouiited wh,jps. With a view to assisting owners in transport expenses the club is contributing £1 a horse towards the cost of motor float or shipping freight. The meeting opens the usual West Coast Easter circuit, and the win and place totalisator will

be in use. Nominations for all events will close at 9 p.m. on Tuesday next. Trip Cancelled. ... Great Star's weight in the Sydney Cup is 8-2, and as his owner-trainer considers this impost too severe, he has cancelled the trip to Sydney for the autumn meetings. Eminent is Tit. Eminent is not a certain starter in the Thompson Handicap, but if he does he will be ridden by S. Wilson. Eminent is very fit at the present time. Off to Melbourne. The Trentham owner-trainer, J. W. Lowe, left by the Wanganclla yesterday for Melbourne, with Red Sun and Sage. In his absence the remainder of his team will bo in charge of A. Browne. Overlooked. The absence of Mr W. R. Kcmball's horses from the Wellington autumn nominations was due to an oversight. Golden Horn in the St. Lcger is his only representative. Booked to Arrive Although Bay Tree, April Fool, and Courtyard dropped out of first day's engagements at the Wellington autumn meeting, J. H. Jefferd arrived at Trentham on Wednesday. W. 11. Dwyer booked at Trentham for Midian, and the two-year-old was given a sprint with Diatomous and Arise at the Rangitikci meeting, so probably he will be on hand for tho North Island Challenge Stakes to-morrow. Impressive Work. Ruling Light's gallop on Tuesday morning was a good one, and will lose her no friends for her engagements at tho meeting. She carried her trainer, F. J. McKay, so she had plenty of weight, and finished very solidly at the end of a very smooth work-out. McKay, who was successful on her when she won at Trentham on January 19, will ride her in the Thompson Handicap. A Smart Mare. A smart gallop was recorded on Tuesday at Trentham by Princess Argosy, who led the two-year-old Guarantee home oror five furlongs. She was going very well at the finish. This mare showed plenty of speed out in front iu the principal handicaps at the summer meeting &,t Trentham in January, and she looks just the type to jump out and lead all the way in the Thompson Handicap, as has frequently been done by past winners of the big mile Tace. Front, Gisborno. Lordly Knight was one of the leading and most consistent sprinters at the Wellington summer meeting, winding up with a win on the third day. Ho is again on band for this week's racing, and ho looks ready to put up further good performances. As in January, he will have the services of A. Eastwood. In St. Leger. Trentham stables have fp»r representatives in the St. Lcger Stakes —Cardinal Moon, Clangor, Golden Horn, and Chile. On season's form Cardinal Moon and Clangor have tho best prospects of this quartet. Cardinal Moon, who is also engaged in the Silverstrcam Handicap to-day, will start in the St.

Leger, and will lie ridden by AY. J. Broughton. Both ho and Clangor should be running on at the end of the mile and three-quarters. A Pleasing Result. The success which attended the Waikato Racing Club's summer meeting at Tc Ilapa last Thursday and Saturday proved very gratifying to the executive, as the club has bad many difficulties to overcome. The president, Mr I<\ R. Soddon, stated that lie was delighted with tlic fine result, wliich would be encouraging to all and enable the club to improve its programme and thus provide inoro attraction for owners and trainers. In Good Order Again. Normandy, who is engaged in the Railway Handicap at Wellington to-day, is looking particularly well at the present time. Ho won at Masterton last week, but a better lino on his prospects is obtained from his good showing in the Canterbury Jockey Club Stewards' Handicap in the spring, in wliich ho finished fifth. He was unfortunate enough to meet with trouble which has since restricted his activities, but lie is once more in good order. He will be ridden to-day by K. Voitre.

New System Adopted. The Australian Jockey Club has, in a measure, fallen from its high estate. Hitherto all money received in connexion with the nomination and running of horses lias added to the value of a race. Financial stress has caused the club to adopt the system of entrance and acceptance fees, the money received in that way being retained and not being an addition to the stake. During the current season unfavourable weather has given the club some bad days. In consequence there has been a great falling-off in receipts from charges for admission, and, as compared with the first six months of last season, the totaliaator turnover has decreased by £113,000. If the club had not decided upon entrance and acceptance fees the added money for various minor handicaps, as well as weight-for-age races, at the coming autumn meeting would have been cut down. The principal races carry the forfeits and sweepstakes, because nominations closed for them under those conditions prior to the recent alteration. The value of some of the minor races has been slightly increased, but tho club's distribution will not be quite as great aa. last year, and the return from entrance and acceptance fees should be very substantial. The revenue received in this direction may enable the ruling body to increase its prize money at other meetings during the season. In fact it will have to set an example to the proprietary clubs which will also be at liberty to drop the sweepstakes early next month, and charge acceptance as well as entrance fees. Sweepstakes Too Severe. Opinions differ among Sydney owners and trainers as to whether the abolition of sweepstakes for starters is to be commended, says the "Referee." Some point out that if a horso has a winning chance the odds from the sweepstakes make a very much better bet than the bookmakers' arc likely to lay. Others take the stand that horses must bo educated, and consequently the sweepstakes charge falls too heavily on owners who cannot well avoid .racing some horses

WELLINGTON B.C.

TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME. FIELDS REVIEWED. The Wellington Racing Club's autumn meeting will be opened at Trentham today. The programme is full of public interest, as tho St. Leger Stakes, Champion Two-year-old Plate, Thompson Handicap, and Railway Handicap will come up for decision. Tho programme is as follows: — 12.5 p.m.— RrMU HIGH-WEIGHT HANDICAP, of IGO sots. One mile nnd a quarter.

The opening event, the Riniu HighWeight Handicap, has drawn a fairly even field, Gay Court probably being the only outstanding candidate. There are, however, some recent winners in the list, including Locksley, Chief Line, and Palace, the last-named accounting for two races on one day at Masterton. The race should provide a close tussle and the best supported may be Chief Line, Locksley, and Gay Court. 12.45 p.m.—

opportunity here. Of the North Islanders, Bonnie Yak; is the most prominent and will probably be one of the favourites. On the other hand, the southern representatives appear to dominate the field, and Heather Glow, Granado, and Silver Sight are likely to fight out the finish. 1.30 p.m.— ST. LEGER STAKES, of 550 bovs. For three-year-olds. One mile and three farquarters.

Of those remaining in the St. Legor Stakes, Gold Trial, who was considered to be an unlikely starter, owing to suffering from the after effects of a recent cold, will now definitely be paraded and will be ridden by P. Atkins. The South Island banner will be carried by Importance, Tout le Monde, Rebel Song, and Rocket, and they should perform with credit. The first-named has given encouraging signs of staying on, but the extent of her recent track work would not commend her against such seasoned opposition. Tout le Monde ran a sterling race over a mile and three furlongs at Trentham in January, and was beaten into third place only in the last few strides. He is gifted with plenty of speed and has stamina in addition, so he should command attention over this journey. Rocket and Rebel Song, both from the Chokeboro stable, but racing in different interests, will be produced. Rocket has shown his staying ability by filling second place in the New Zealand Derby and bis races and work since point to his liking for long journeys. Rebel Song is bred on staying lines, and in his two recent successes he did his best work over the business stages. The company he beat on those occasions was not by any means strong 1 , and to-day's race will be his first serious test, Of the North Islanders engaged, Gold Trial will be at a disadvantage, while Inflation will have to show a distinct improvement to master the journey. Peschiera and Clangor have yet to show that they can stay on. The field cannot be considered up to the class produced in previous St. Legers, but on this occasion the contestants are exceptionally evenly balanced, and speculation will take a wide range. Again the visiting contingent should do well and the final struggle may be confined to Toute le Monde, Rocket, and Rebel Song. 2.18 p.m. — CHAMPION TWO-YEAR-OLD PLATE, of 4SO iove. fell furlongi.

The Trial Plato is confined to horses that have not won a race to the value of 50 sova, and none of those carded has yet won a race of any description, but most have filled places at various meetings. Theso include Bonnie Vale, Eupator, Granado, Heather Glow, Shining Gold, and Silver Sight. Heather Glow is a speedy galloper, and although seven furlongs is a little too far for him, his early pace is likely to help him. Granado, by Limond, one of D. P. Wilson's team, made a bold showing in a similar event at Wingatui last month, and actually beat Hoather Glow for second money, but the judge ruled otherwise. Shining Gold finished fourth in tho same race and this distance seems beyond him at present. Silver Sight is duo to break his maiden status, and has a great

that do not possess any chance, course it can be contended that owner should not start his horse unk he honestly believed it could win, b if that practice were generally adopt there would be some very small fieli One thing certain is that the lower cc will tend to larger fields, and unless t new order of things means iricreas prize-nioney, the total return to ownt for their outlay in entrance and acce] aiicc fees will not be comparatively great as under the sweepstakes syste It can be taken for granted, howovi that the Jockey Club w see to it that owners do not suffer, a that stakes at the various courses w be in keeping with tho amount receiv in entrance and acceptance fees.

The club has been fortunate in assembling the field that will go to the post for the Champion Two-year-old Plate. Included in the twelve acceptors are the best performed youngsters of the season. All are winners, there being no maiden performer, and of the twelve, six, Guarantee, Princess Doreen,

Diatomous, Dole, Fracas, and TJed Manfred, have earned penalties. There cannot be said to be any candidate standing out from the rest, a position that has been in evidence since the season's juvenile racing commenced, and it was on this account that the race was included in the programme to decide the premier two-year-old of the year to date. The field was reviewed earlier in the week and nothing has occurred since to warrant any change of opinion. All carded are likely to start, and the favourite trio may comprise Fracas, Guarantee, and Bed Manfred.

The Thompson Handicap has attracted probably the best field secured for many years past, and each candidate must be kept in view. The recent race and track form of the bulk of the contestants has been of such a nature, that investors will be faced with a difficult problem in deciding on the favourite division, and it is certain that speculation will be well distributed. With the latest credentials of the sixteen starters now well known to the public, it is not proposed here to individualise again. The final summing up is likely to be in favour of Cricket Bat, Shatter, and Autopay. 8.38 p.m.— SILVERSTREAM HANDICAP, of 160 govs. One mile.

8.5 p.m. ■ ■ \ >' :tyr £;.,

The Tinakori Handicap fc». proved hack sprinters engaged <«!?¥ * ing Good Hunting, Might, MobOSs Light, Worship, and Palace, ftflt ' tussle should be confined to these VTi the best of them seem to be GhU*?j2f? Might, and Palace. 11^»

Some useful milers are engaged in the Silverstream Handicap, including recent winners in Zeebrugge, Speed, and Pesehiera. Bobel Song is another, but he is to start in the classic, On form Zeebrugge has the best prospect?, and gopd support will also be forthcoming for Pesehiera and Speed. 4,20 p.m.— RAILWAY HANDICAP, of 850 govs. Six furlong-*,

Autopay will be misaing from the Kailway handicap, for which an interesting contest seems assured- An exceptionally even field is carded, including probably the best of the sprinting brigade from both Islands. The North is strongly represented by Golden Wings, Lordly Knijgbt, Pomp, Hunt the Slipper, Green Linnet, The Tiger, and Normandy, and the South will have two smart gallqpers in True Shaft Kerbside. Assemble was an acceptor, but will contest the Thompson handicap, and her stable-mate, Kerbside, will be relied on in this event. Another even betting pool should be recorded, and Golden Wings, Hunt the Slipper, and Kerbside may engage most attention.
