horses for the Sydney and Melbourne I important: events, intends leaving for ! Australia at the conclusion of the Wellington winter meeting at the end of next month. Change of Fortune J. Westrope. the riding sensation of America last year, when he wort 301 races, is not doing nearly as well this season. Up to April 21 he had 203 mounts, and had ridden only 27 winners. Unless he improves greatly on that rate of progress he will be lucky if he gets far beyond the 100 marl? this year. Westrope had an apprentice allowance last season, which made a lost of difference. A Taranaki Team The Hawera trainer. O. Cox. is to leave for Australia next month with I Golden Hair. Round Table, and Golden j Promise. The last-named, from Lady Bentinck. is coming on steadily, and last week had his first fast work in company with his stablcmate, Lowcnberg. The pair brushed over a couple of furlongs in 27sec in a very satisfac-

I quarter, and the Farewell Hack Han ; dicap. six furlongs, to be decided a' the club's winter meeting on Saturdaj of next week. Showed Improvement I Cannibal, the big Shambles gcldinj in Mrs J. Campbell's stabie, who die not take kindly to his first schooling ; task at Riccarton last week, has since shaped well over a couple of fences erected in H. Nurse's paddock. Riddtn by H. Turner, he was assisted by Gay Jim, ridden by Mrs Campbell, and jumped the obstacles several times without any trouble.

II Variant Resuming Mr A. Louisson's Limond filly Variant is likely to enter upon another preparation in P. V. Mason's stable in the near future. She is having the run of a paddock on her owner's farm, and has grown to a remarkable degree. She was considered one of the best of the season's two-year-olds, and showed every indication of mastering a journey, so that her reappearance as a three-year-old will be awaited with interest. Not Starting Rebel Chief was let off with light work yesterday. He was accepted for at Ashburton, but owing to having a slight cold he is not to make the trip. Riders at Ashburton Riding engagements as follows have j been made for to-morrow's programme at Ashburton:—D. O'Connor Graball: H. Turner, Verden, Punchestown; C. Eastwood, Moonbeam; A. Messervy. Hostile, Imperial Spear, Grecian Prince; G. Humphries, Mar- ! tian Chief, Importance, Cheap Money; G. Salt, Rational II.; G. Murfitt, Advance Camii; H. Mackinnon, Drum Fire, Bella Rosa, Jolly Beggar; A. Russell, Sibella, Great Star; A. E. Ellis, Cleaner. Red Dance: L. J. Ellis, Nightform, Grampian; J. W. Jennings, Tout le Monde, Monastic; W. Jones, Final Shot, War Knight; G. Barr, Don Jose. Track Work at Riccarton Overhead conditions at Riccarton yesterday were favourable for track work, but the ground was heavier than it has been for a long time. The inside of the trial grass was open, and although times were not nearly as fast as usual, some useful gallops by horses racing at Ashburton to--1 morrow were executed. Finished Well Martian Chief gave Hostile and Top Rank a break over the early stages of a five furlong task, but "finished in front of Hostile, with Top Rank beaten off, in Imin Bsec, the last half taking 53 3-ssec. Cleaner and Red Dance strode over six furlongs in Jmin 20sec, and Ranelagh finished well clear of Moonbeam after covering the same ground in Imin 21 3-ssec, the last half taking 55scc. Sibella and Bella Rosa were together at the end of six furlongs run in Imin 2-1 ?-ssec, the last half in 55 2-ssee. The latter is the three-year-old fillv bv Jericho from PmilenY-

Tory manner, and were not bustled. Lowenberg, for a big fellow, handles himself exceptionally well, having a great stride and good action. Round Table has not thickened out much, but

looks well and is at present doing road work. The hope is that he will prove capable of winning over a distance. Northern Juveniles The Te Awamutu trainer. A. Cook, has seven rising two-year-olds in his stable in preparation for the ney/ season's racing. They comprise a filly by Chief Ruler from Tinowere, a fillv by General Latour from Prodice, a colt by Magpie from White Bird, a colt by Iliad from Philomela, a gelding by General Latour from Peruse, a colt by General Latour from Te Ngeru, and

Galilee, a filly by Chief Ruler from Lady Bcde. Another Conqueror Flamenco, who brought about Colombo's second defeat this week at Ascot, is a three-year-old gelding by Flamingo fby Flamboyant by White Eagle) from Valescure by Swynford and was bred by his present owner, Lord Rosebery. Flamenco won two races as a two-year-old and was nominated for the English Derby, but did not start. TROTTING NOTES

Reminders Nominations for the Marlborough Trotting Club's meeting, to be held at New Brighton on July 7, close on Monday. | A Riccarton Stable The Riccarton owner-trainer. W. J. Morland, is handling two good looking yearlings, one a filly by Rev de Oro — Escalade, therefore full-sister to Levity, and a filly by Jack Potts from Daisy Pointer, the dam of Fascination. Levity, who received an injury before the New Zealand Sapling Stakes is being given a let-up for a day or two and Sir Gowan is also running in the paddock. J. J. Kemierley's Team J. J. Kennerley has in hand a useful four-year-old filly in Gay Sister, by Nelson Derby—Sally Brass, who was by Abbey Bells, from a great

yeai-om miy Dy jericno from Couleur de Rose, owned by Mr George Gould. She is to have her first race to-mor-row. Quietly, joined by Cheap Money at the five furlong post, ran seven furlongs ill Imin 34 2-sscc, the last half in 55 2-s?ec. Smart Sprint Imperial Spear and Tea Garden

trotter of a few years back in Sal Tasker. Gay Sister was raced at the Ashburton meeting earlier in the month and will do better with experience. Other recent additions to Kennerlcy's stable include two Southlandbred horses in Mitchie Chimes, by Four Chimes —Bellman mare, and Gold Era, by Gold Bell —Stella Maris. Will Improve C. K. Yeatman won several races earlier in Ihe season with Golden Dollar. but of late his luck has not been so good. The Rey de Oro gelding will probably do better when the tracks become firmer. Yeatman is also working Artemis, a mare by Nelson Bingen—Bidens, and Harvest Time, by Sonoma Harvester—ldol. Catering- for Trotters Mile and a half races i'or unhoppled trotters are becoming increasingly popular and in framing the programme ' for its August meeting the New Zca- 1 land Metropolitan Trotting Club has ; arranged for five out of the six races of J this class to be run over 12 furlongs. ; The programme will open each day with the usual 3min 32sec class race 1 over a mile and a half and on the ! opening day the Stewards' Handicap is for horses assessed at 4min 40sec or ' better for two miles. On the second ' day the Avon Handicap, which last year was for horses that could do 4min ' 39sec or better for two miles, is now ' a mile and a half race with a 3min 1 27sce limit, and on the third day the 1 champions of the unhoppled trotting 1 brigade will be given an opportunity ." in the Addington Handicap, which is 1 for horses assessed at 3min 24sec or J better. The arrangement of the pro- ' gramme will probably encourage the 1 Auckland owners of Nell Volo and ' Bessie Parrisb to produce these two > fine mares at Addington in August, and <* with Worthy Queen. Biddy " Parrish. ' Wrackler, and Huon Voyage in Ihe 1 field, the race should create a great ' deal of interest. At. present Nell Volo 1 is assessed at 3min 27sec and Bessie Parrish at 3min 26sec, and in the un- J hoppled trotters' races at this meeting they will have a royal chance of pay- ( ing the expenses of the trip. ; A Good Programme < The New Zealand Metropolitan Trot- - ting Club experienced a most success- < ful meeting at.

Grampian was given strong work over six furlongs in Imin 25sec. and Punchestown and Rational 11. were companions in a working gallop over a mile. A Speedy Filly Knockfin save Scratch mere Scar and Doiran half a dozen lengths start commencing a five furlong gallop, and had tlie-m beaten a furlong from home, finishing well in front in Imin ssec, I the last half being covered in 50 3-5 I see.

Right Again Great Star was allotted, strong work I over seven furlongs, taking Imin 3G 3-ssec. and his stable mate. Grand Review, recorded Imin 3Gsec for similar work. Great Star has thrown off all effects of his mishap at Washdyke. Jolly Beggar and Bright Shade ran three furlongs along the back in 41sec, and Hose of Tralce occupied sGsec for half a mile. War Knight and Final Shot strode over nve furlongs in Imin 8 2-suec. Over the Hurdles Fleeting Glance jumped two hurdles well, and Don Jose followed over three fences in good style. Both were ridden by G. Barr. Verden <ll. Turner) was sent over two hurdles. He will, be again rid-

trainers, who for the last vear or two have had to race for greatly depleted prize money. Big stakes attract th" best horses, and also encourage owners to take further interest in the ? POrt j W hcre champions meet will be tound the big crowds, and in its added prize money New Zealand's leading club has offered a solid inducement to owners to support the meeting. The stakes offered fall far snort of what was given in the boom days, but a minimum prize of £2OO in the 24-race programme i.s a sign that better times are ahead for owners and trainers It is an example that other clubs irnVht follow with benefit to all. A Successful Trainer Some weeks ago J. S. Shaw had th<bad kick to Jose a two-year-old in Fascination, a brilliant young pacer' who had prospects of winning the New Zealand Sapling Stakes. The loss was a heavv one huf ihn a „„

I d neavy one. out the Addmgton j trainer has still a good team of horses ! in work, and i.s likely to win many races in the coming season. In Worthy Queen he has New Zealand's fastest trotter, and Blue Mountain is a pacer that may qualify for the New Zealand Cup when given the opportunity. He also has High Noon, a two-year-old. with distinct possibilities, and Margaret Chenault, who has lately shown a return to her best form. For a time Impromptu was in J. S. Shaw's care, and tile Pedro Pronto gelding won the Durbar Handicap at Ashburton in April and a double at the Auckland meeting last month. His interests have not been confined solely to light, harness horses, for he train's several gallopers and has won races with Imperial Spear and Rebel Star during the last few months. In his leisure hours Shaw takes a big interest in wrestling and acts as referee in most of the contests staged in Canterbury. Trotting' at Ashburton The two light, harness events to be decided at the Ashburton County Racing Club's meeting to-morrow will be contested by several horses that have shown very promising form of late. In ] the Lyndhurst Trot Handicap are | Llewellyn's Pel., who raced solidly at Timaru on Saturday, and two verv speedy two-year-olds in Ironside and Graham Direct. Ironside, who was recently purchased by Mr W. Hosking, of Auckland, and has joined J. S. Shaw's stable, finished third in the New Zealand Sapling Slakes after having none the better of the running, while Graham Direct, after losing a lot 1 of ground in the two-year-old classic, ■ showed extreme speed over the later J stages. Ironside looks a likely win- < ner of the New Zealand and Great f Northern Derbies. In the Winchmore : Trot Handicap are two brilliant young horses in Red Flyer and Lynlcy de - Oro, both winners at the recent Wei- . lington meeting. On that occasion Red Flyer defeated the crack two-year-old Gamble in the Woburn Handicap, and Lynley de Oro. making her first appearance, spreadeagled her field in the Suburban Handicap. The latter is trained by ,1. P. McKendry at Methven, and her Wellington form was

most impressive. Red Flyer, a four-vcar-old gelding, trained at New Brighton by L. Davidson, has shown himself to be a genuine racehorse, and next season he is likely to win good races. Wild Dreams, a winner at the South Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting last, Saturday, has plenty of speed, t and Adsum. Blandford, and Sky Wink 1 should add interest to the contest. This i race looks like providing a great tussle between several most promising . pacers. A Change l The Advance Handicap, to be decided on the opening day of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's August meeting, carries a stake of 200 sovs, and is for horses that can do 2min 54see or better for a mile ana a quarter. Last year it was confined ; to tour-year-olds, but the support accorded the race was very poor, only six horses faced the starter. Ine conditions now governing the race should ensure more solid support.
