These comprise Reb:.l Star, Hounslow, Copyist, and Scarlet Rambler, while Gold Knight and Silver Streak, trained at Wash- ., dyke, will also attract attention. Of these' Rebel Star and Copyist appear to have the best prospects. SpeaTceasy ■will make his tirst appearance in the bit; steeplechase on Monday. Classic Entries Jvlanv owns r.-> and trainers have a good deal to keep in mind in the next fortnight. dominations close on June g for "New Zealand classic races, and on. June o for the Australian spring ' handicaps, at. o tor Australian events , ".Jor new yuarimgs. The Canterbury Jockey Club events affected are:— "Welcome Stakes, Middle Park Plate, Champagne Slakes, Challenge Stakes, Derby, and Oaks Health Trip ' The Jnvr rc aaaaill trainer. J. A. Rowland, who lias not enjoyed good health lately, sent the remainder- ox his string away last weak to winter quarters in -the country, and will leave for an extended trio to Australia on a well- • earned holiday. Rowland will meet many successful trainers in Melbourne and Sydney who wove contemporary horsemen with him in his .successful race riding days m the North Island. . Dual Engagements As usual, many of the acceptors for the Great Northern Hurdles are engaged also in lli-a Great Northern Steeplechase, t« be run en Monday. Those who are eligible lor both races would sufiice to make up interesting fields. They are Makeup, Hounslow, Billy Boy, 33iterm. Snow Prince, Emancipation, Callamari, Pahu, and Lueess. Leading Trainer T. R. George is certain again to head the winning trainer's list this season. To date he has had 47 wins:, compared with 41 two years ago and 36 in the previous season. Last season, however, George won only 20 races. When he reached the record total of 41, it was predicted that the figure would be the standard for some time to come, but George has already surpassed it. and has two months of racing to go. His runner-up is S. Barr, or Ricearton, with 31 wins to date. Considering the average moderate ability and the material at George's disposal his .record is all the more praiseworthy. Well Bred Hunter Among those following the hounds with the Egmont-Wanganui Hunt is a well-bred five-year-old black gelding He is by The. 1 Ace from Woodfire, who is by Autumnus from Fairhaven, by Pilgrim's Progress from Elusive, by Trenton. Fairaaven is the dam of Sailor's Hope, the dam of Fast Passage and Waterline. So far this horse has not been tried, but his owner intends putting him into work, and all going well he will be seen in action in the hunters' Hat, events in the spring. He is a tine cut of a horse who may turn out a good uie. Hounslow In:- proved Since arriving at Ellerslie Hounslow has done a fail- amount of schooling over hurdles and on each, occasion he has performed .satisfactorily. On Tuesday morning ha' gave a good exhibition over live fences and he looks to he steadily improving. Though he has disajjpointed i" his engagements so far this wilder. Hounslow performed so well at t'ae last Grand National meeting that it would not surprise to see him running prominently in jumping events bef.o~e the Great Northern meeting is through. A Likely Jumper Hill Comet, a brother 1o Our Comet, who is owlied by Mr W. J. Craig, of Takapau, has joined up with G. W B Greene's string at Hastings. He is'reported to be a well-grown gelding who shows promise on the tracks. He will be trained for jumping events. Siili Deublii;! Although it was the intention of Mr O. S. V/atkins not to race Normandy tjlJ tne Wellington meeting, the geldings recent tor ward showings in schooling efforts at Trentham have evidently induaed him to change his mind as Normandy appears among the nolor the Porotitawhao Hurcdc';; at Foxtou. Normandy has not ? et contested a hurdle race, but there is no question about his being able to jump, though, his- stamina meanwhile must remain in doubt. TROTTING notes Reminders -Acceptances lor the second day of the Canterbury Park meeting will close at I.) o'clock this evening. Handicaps wiii. be posted in the club's rooms at: 7.30 p.m. Back f'i "'a'-itiU ■ J ; f onikinsoii, who received severe injin-i.s us the result of.a fall a lortn.iahf a:;o. and who spent some ciays in Kj. George's Hospital before being discharged Jast week, is again m hospital. On Thursday night he suffered a relapse, and though his condition is not. regarded as serious, lomkmsan will remain in hospital for observation and X-ray examination. Breeders of Moan a Tama <J^?u na l ,r [ ' ama ' ono the favourites wn= <v w Zc:ilarld Sapling Stakes, flpih" f c a bargain in horse- ' or . dam, Joy Bells, when no- '2 r Nelson Derby, was disposed of at Mr W. J. Gudsell's sale

to Messrs J. Hannah and E. Gordon, of Avonside, for two guineas. Six months after foaling Joy Bells and her colt foal were passed on to Mr G. Bills for £lO. Messrs Gordon and Hannah have the credit of breeding a particularly smart youngster, who is engaged in the Sapling Stakes and the two Derbies. An Early Start Strict punctuality will be observed in the running of races at Addington to-day, and with the first race scheduled to start at 11.20 a.m., and the last at 4.5 p.m., the day's enteitainment should be concluded at a reasonable hour. The season of the year demands an early start beinc made, and to-day the Canterbury Park Club should set an exhmple worthy of emulation bi r other sports bodies. Bracketed Horses Wrackler and Arethusa, in the King George Handicap; Aristotle and Prairie King in the Telegraph Handicap, and Golden .Direct and Netta Oro in Ihe Harewood Handicap will bo bracketed on the totalizator at Addington to-day. Bred in Southland The fields at Addington to-day will include a good number of horses bred in Southland. Amongst them are the following:—Teviot Downs, William Tell, Matchmaker, Sure, Willow Wave, Master Roy, Probationer, Ayrmont Chimes, Blue Mountain, Gold Tinge, Prairie King, Mocast, Coldwood, and Chcnwood Royal Comrade Royal Comrade in his early days was regarded as a more than useful pacer in saddle; but it is a long linu-' since he won a race. All his early successes were gained in the hands of D. Bennett, who will make another attemot to win the Au Revoir Handicap* to-day. Royal Comrade is one ol the very few o£ Logan Pointer's progeny still racing. Luck ol' the Draw In mile races at Addington the luck of the draw for barrier positions counts a good deal, for the start is on the turn and those drawing inside positions have an advantage. Today two mile races will be run, and the draw for horses on the limit has been made as follows: —Telegraph Handicap: 1 Willow Wave, 2 Admiral Wrack, 3 Margaret Chcnault, 4 Priceless, 5 Ratloc, 6 Aristotle, 7 King's Cup, 8 Royal Parade; Au Revoir Handicap: 1 Prairie King, 2 Young Frank, 3 Admiral Wrack, 4 Pronto Bmgcn, , r > Wild Vovage, 6 Coldsvood, 7 Princess Thea, '« Goldficld. Of the limit horses in the Progressive Handicap, Radlcv has drawn the rails, the positions "o£ the other starters being as follows:—2 Sea Gift, Silk Coat, 4 Gyrate, 5 Norman Fox, 6 Enigma. A Southern Visitor Teviot Downs, who was brought from Southland a week ago by his owner-trainer, E. Mitchell, has been quartered at W. J. Doyle's stable. Teviot Downs is a bay stallion by Lee Norris from Nihilotis, and comes from the south with something of a reputation. There are few races in the south to suit uhhoppled trotters of his class, and after racing at Addington he will probably remain in a Canterbury stable. A Solid Trotter At the Easter meeting at Addington Gay Paree finished second to Don Chonault in the Harvest Handicap, of a mile and a half, and registered 3min 19 3-osec from a 3min 29scc mark. This represented a very good performance, and a repetition will find the Guy Parrish gelding prominent, at the finish of the Elevation Handicap to-day. The small field will be all in his favour. Winton Cup Winner Willow Wave, who registered a good performance to win the Winton Cup* in December last, is now trained by O. E. Hooper, and will make his first appearance in that trainer's colours to-day. Willow Wave does not carry a great deal in the way of breeding" He is described as by Waverley from a hack mare.
