TURF GOSSIP Reminder Nominations lor the Canterbury Jockey Club's summer meeting, and first forfeits for the Middle Park Plate will be due at 8 p.m. on Friday. Racing at Wingatui An attractive programme has been circulated by the Dunedin Jockey Club for its autumn meeting on February 14 and 16. The Dunedin Cup carries the good stake of 600 sovs, including a gold cup to the value of 100 sovs, and the Publicans' Handicap, six furlongs, will be wprth 250 sovs. On the second day the Jockey Club Handicap, one mile and a quarter, has a stake of 300 sovs. and the Flying Handicap, on this occasion over seven furlongs, will be of 200 sovs. The Hazlett Gold Cup, > weight-for-age, should attract a good entry. It carries a stake of 400 sovs, including a gold cup, value 100 sovs. and is run over a mile. Nominations will close on Tuesday of next week. Track Work at Riccarton The main interest in training operations at Riccarton on Saturday was centred in the work of the horses to race at Trentham this week, the plough track again being in general use. Chokcbore Team Fracas galloped six furlongs in lmin 18 2-ssec without being at all extended. Silly Owl and Back Thrust ran half a mile in 51 2-ssec, the last three in 38sec, and Bun Fight sprinted three lurlongs smartly in 36 2-ssec. Knock Out finished a length in front of Rocket after covering six furlongs in lmin 17 2-ssec, the last three in 39sec. Restricted Efforts Cup Bearer reeled off half a mile in SOsec. the last three furlongs in 37 3-ssec. Her stable mate, Penelope, was again restricted to useful exercises on-one of the* inner tracks. She is of a highly strung nature, and does not require much galloping.. Useful Tasks Abdication and Landru finished together after recording 50 2-ssec for half a mile. The latter, who is built on big lines, looks like making good. Horotiu and Invoice were companions over half a mile in 52 2-ssec. Horowhenua broke away in front of Tout le Blonde, and led him into the straight, but they were on terms at the post after covering six furlongs in lmin 18sec, the last three in 39 4-5 sec. Moonbeam hopped off at the five furlong post, and was joined by Emissary at the half-mile, the latter finishing two lengths in front. Moonbeam's time was lmin 3sec. the last three furlongs taking 38 2-ssec. Final Shot was a length in front of Tunneller at the end .of five furlongs in lmin 5 2-ssec. An Attractive Mile Vintage gave a pleasing display over a mile run in lmin 41 3-ssec, the first two furlongs taking 25 4-ssec, three 37 4-ssec, half-mile 50 3-ssec, five furlongs lmin 3 4-ssec. and six furlongs lmin 16 3-ssec. He did his work evenly, and pulled up better than on Thursday. Vintage has certainly had plenty of galloping since returning from Ellerslie, but has thrived on it, and will be paraded at Trentham tomorrow in the best of order. Great Star ran an easy five furlongs in lmin ssec. He will be ridden by E. Leckie in the Anniversary Handicap, in which his prospects will have to be seriously regarded. ' Later in Week Sam Smith, assisted by Hostile, covered six furlongs in lmin 16 2-ssec, the first half taking 51sec. He will be at Trentham for the second day's racing. . Heather Glow and Haere Tonu, who had their final sprints on the previous day, were not produced, and Wino and Colombo were let off with easy work. An Unlucky Stable Cranford was on the tracks but was not galloped. He evidently jarred a Zetlock joint in his gallop on Thursday, and as some heat was in evidence, his trainer decided not to take any risks by working him. Later in the day his trip to Trentham was cancelled, and Riccarton will now not have a representative in the Telegraph Handicap, the first occasion for many years. Wrong lie-presentation The main body of the Riccarton contingent for Trentham were shipped north on Saturday night. These comprised:—Knock Out, Bun Fight, Back Thrust, Rocket, Silly Owl, Fracas 'H. Cutts), Haere Tonu, Heather Glow «C. C. McCarthy), Wino (A. S. Ellis) Colombo fC.Davey), Emisssary, Moonbeam (J. Tomkinson), Abdication, Landru <F. D. Jones), Penelope, Cup Bearer <P. McGrath), Tlouotiu, Horowhenua (H. Rama), Vintage, Tunneller (Mrs J. Campbell), Tout le Monde, Invoice (T. Lloyd), and Great Star 'H, Prosser). Variant and Hostis, in charge of P. V. Mason, and Capital, Silver Sight, Colossian, arid Some Shamble, in charge of S. Barr, went north on Friday night. Resumed Biding A Press Association cablegram from Sydney states that M. McCarten was again riding at the Warwick Farm races on Saturday, having recovered from his recent injury. Improved Prospects Princess Doreen continues on the right way, and she is one of the fancied candidates for the Telegraph

Handicap at Trentham to-morrow, more so now that L. J. Ellis will have the ride. Princess Doreen is very muscular and well, but she appeals more now as a handicap propsect than as a brilliant sprinter. Re-entering Ranks ' ; One of the most welcome items of news in recent months emanates from Hastings, and.it is to the effect that Mr A. 'B. Williams, who has been out of the game for some time now, is sending down four yearlings to J. H. Jefferd at Ngatarawa. Cup Riding Record Roy Reed easily holds the riding record for the Wellington Cup. Including two dead-heats he has won it six times, scoring on Rewi Poto (deadheat with Red Ribbon) 1919, Kilmoon (dead-heat with Oratress) 1920, Maioha 1921, Rapine 1923, Star Stranger 1928, and Compris 1932. His brother, Ashley Reed, who has been living in Melbourne since 1924, won the Wellington Cup on Bee in 1916, and on Bunting in 1917. Meetings Clash , , . . It has been the recent practice for horses to go from Trentham to Ashhurst during the course,of the Wellington meeting, but because the Wellington opening is not till Anniversary Day this year the course of travel will be in the opposite direction this week and Trentham will benefit as a result on the final days. The Ashhurst fixture to-morrow probably accounts for the fields at Trentham being smaller than in previous years. Well Bred The Hastings trainer, J. M. Cameron, has an addition to his string in a compact and well-grown two-year-old colt by Hunting Song from that good handicap mare Piuthair, by Kilbroney from Blackada, by All Black from Armada, who traces back to an Arab taproot. This newcomer meets the eye as something above the average. His future will be eagerly watched, as he is the first of this mare's progeny to be tried. A Promising Juvenile Corroboree, who has come into calculation for the juvenile handicaps at the Wellington meeting because of his ready defeat of Severe in a gallop at Awapuni on Thursday, is a very handsome two-year-old with plenty of size, and he has started only twice to date, running second to Haut Monde at Woodville last month at the second of them. In his initial outing, at Feilding, he was surprisingly well backed for a newcomer, and after failing to go away he was running on fourth, Ilias being the winner. Corroboree is a. bay colt by Lord Quex from the Finland—Warscare mare Table Talk, and is thus a half-brother to High Falutin' and Round Table. He attracted considerable attention at last year's National sales and Messrs A. W. Akers and J.' Hughes, two Palmerston North sportsmen, who also own Catalogue, had to go to 225 guineas to acquire him. Like Catalogue, he is trained by L. Wilson at Awapuni.

Another Limond Winner Limyris, who established a course record for six and a half furlongs at Victoria Park (New South Wales) on Wednesday last, and who has since been mentioned as a likely serious rival for Capris in the Adrian Knox Stakes, a race for three-year-old fillies over a mile at the A.J.C. Anniversary meeting on January 28, is a Dominionbred filly, and the success was her third in half-a-dozen starts this season. As her name suggests, Limyris is a daughter of Limond. She is . a brown daughter of the imported Pommern mare Pomyris, the dam also of Pomp, and was one of the Koatanui Stud offerings at the 1933 sales, when she was acquired at 310 guineas for Sydney. In her early racing last season she was run in partnership by Mr E. Roberts and the Randwick trainer J. King, but since her third start she has carried the colours of King solely. She will need to have made all the improvement her latest effort indicates to" beat Capris at the end of the month, as on January 1 Capris gave her 71b and beat her out of a place in winning the New Year's Gift, seven furlongs, at Tattersall's meeting.

TROTTING NOTES Still a Champion That Harold • Logan is far from a spent light he demonstrated in the Windsor Handicap at Addington on Saturday, for in finishing second in 2min 36 2-ssec he equalled the record made at Auckland recently by Roi l'Or He was asked to givewndianapolis 48 yards start over a mile and a quarter, and to have been on terms with the stallion at the finish Harold Logan would have had to do 2min 34 2-ssec, a mile rate of better than 2min 4sec. Harold Logan showed all his old brilliance at the start, and he was past Roi l'Or, to whom he was conceding 24 yards, before the latter had settled into his stride. Harold Logan is still a very brilliant racehorse and a match between him and Indianapolis over any distance would be a good business proposal for any club to adopt. Harold Logan is not quite at his best, but he is very near it. The Bulloch Lade Cup The gold cup presented by the Bui-, loch Lade, Company, of Glasgow, to the owner of the horse doing better than 2min 2 2-ssec for a mile, was on view at Addington on Saturday, and was greatly admired. It is a fine example of the goldsmith's art and will be treasured by its winner, Mr G. J. Barton, of Dunedin. Mr Barton has been very keen to become possessed of the trophy and when it was presented last April, he said Indianapolis would win it for him as soon as the

opportunity offered. Mr Barton is at present in Australia, and in his absence the cup was received from Mr H. F. Nicoll, president of the Trotting Conference, by Mrs Barton. Mr Nicoll, in making the presentation, referred to the very fine effort of a really good horse, driver, and trainer, and commended the sporting spirit that had prompted the Bulloch Lade Company to make such a handsome donation towards the encouragement of the sport. A Fine Pacer The Westport pacer Bingen Palm created a big impression when he won the Balmoral Handicap at Addington on Saturday, for while he appeared to meet with interference several times during the race, he was still a good distance back with half a mile to go, and at the straight entrance he still had three very smart pacers in Real Burton, Bracken, and Reces in front of him. He made short work of this trio and appeared to hold a lot in reserve when he passed the post with a good advantage of the runner-up. Bingen Palm is a full-brother to Olive Nelson, the best trotter in New Zealand a few years back, and not over raced, he is now beginning to show his true form. Bingen Palm is now six years old and he is backed by a pedigree of the stoutest strains, for his dam, Olive Palm, who died in 1930, was by Wildwood Junr.—Alice Palm, by Rothschild—Picnic Palm, by Emmerson—Puella, by Berlin. Puella was the dam of Almont, a great pacer in his day, and Belmont M., who won the New Zealand Cup in 1906. Twelve months ago Bingen Palm gave every indication of developing into a crack pacer and several Canterbury owners were anxious to purchase him. Although Bingen Palm's opportunities at Westport will be restricted, his owner, Mr J. R. Simpson, showed wise judgment when he refused to entertain several tempting offers that were made for the stallion. Todd Lonzia Todd Lonzia registered a high-class performance when he gave away 72 yards start and a sound beating to a useful field in the Sussex Handicap on Saturday. He was handicapped to do 3min 23sec, and without over-exert-ing himself at any stage he did the mile and a half in '3min 18sec. This merely confirmed the good form Todd Lonzia had shown at the Ashburton meeting on Boxing Day, when> he effectively dealt with a field of useful pacers in the Midsummer, Handicap, after registering 3min 20sec. On that occasion he was driven by his trainer, J. Henderson, who weighs considerably more than the light-weight, D. C. Watts, who handled him on Saturday. Todd Lonzia has always shown a lot of speed, and in 1933 in a race against time he covered a mile in 2min 9sec. He did not always show the steadiness he has disnlayed of late, and now seven years old, he is improving with age. Failure of Addington Horses Horses trained at Addington did not enjoy much success on Saturday, for while Indianapolis was the bright star of the racing, six out of the seven handicap events were won by horses trained in other parts and most of the minor place money also went to visitors. In the Welcome Handicap Norma Bingen (Pleasant Point) won with Resound (Yaldhurst) second and Ruin' (Methven)- third. In the Sandringha'm Handicap, Tempest and Cloudy Range, trained at Addington, finished second and third respectively to Sure (Yaldhurst). The Balmoral Handicap went to Bingen Palm (Westport), with Real Burton (Islington), second, and Bracken (Addington) third. The Royal Handicap was won by the Wellingtontrained, Glenrossie, from Mountain Dell (Addington), and Sunny Morn (Lauriston), and Todd Lonzia (Oamaru), First Wrack (Ashburton) and Sea Gift (Prebbleton) filled the places in the Sussex Handicap. Willow Wave (Lauriston), Taxpayer (Yaldhurst), and Gay Gordon (Ashburton) were in the places in the Imnerial Handicap and in the Windsor Handicap. Indianapolis scored Addington's solitary win from Harold Logan (New Brighton), and Roi I'Or (Waimate). With the exception of E. C. McDermott, who secured a third with Cloudy Range, F. C. Dunleavy was the only Addington trainer to win any money for his patrons. His record was a creditable one, for while Indianapolis won the Bulloch Lade Gold Cup and a purse of 100 sovs, and the Windsor Handicap, TemDest was second in the Sandringham HandicaD, Bracken third in the Balmoral Handicap, and Mountain Dell second in the Royal Handicap. Altogether horses trained by Dunleavy won 460 sovs and a gold cup of the value of 100 sovs.

ROYAL MEETING INDIANAPOLIS .BREAKS RECORD GLENROSSIE WINS HANDICAP The Royal meeting held at Addington on Saturday attracted a very big crowd, and though only seven races were decided, against eight races last year, the totalisator investments showed an increase of £3053 on last year's figures. The sum of £18,222 10s, an average of more than £2603 a race, was handled by the totalisator staff, against £15,169 10s, an average of more than £1896, a year ago. • ; His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester witnessed two handicap events, besides the exhibition of speed given by Indianapolis, and he effected a good dispatch when he acted as starter for the Sussex Handicap. Although two fields were below the average in size, the racing was full of interest throughout, and Indianapolis showed two performances that stamped him an out and out champion. The track could not be given anything but a very brief preparation for the attempt on the record, and at other times the atmospheric conditions have been more favourable for extreme speed. The exhibition was watched with the greatest interest, and loud cheers greeted horse and driver when the new figures, 2min 1 2-ssec, were announced. This is the fastest time registered by a pacer outside America, and it now seems possible that Indianapolis is capable of pacing a mile in two minutes or better. He was kept at a good, even pace throughout, and much of the credit must go to E. C. McDermott. who drove the pacer to his record. In the final event of the day Indianapolis gave another exhibition of his speed when he fairly outclassed the field, and both he and Harold Logan, who made a valiant attempt from an impossible mark to gain second place, were greeted with cheers. A small field of six faced the starter in the Welcome Handicap, in which Norma Bingen justified the heavy support accorded her by winning very easily, but though Sure had performed well at the recent Auckland meeting, she was allowed to go out at quite a good price for the Sandringham Handicap, which race she won in workmanlike style from Tempest, who made a sensational run over the last quarter-mile. Bingen Palm, fresh from his conquests on the West Coast, made an exhibition of the field opposed to him in the Balmoral Handicap, and his speed over the last part was almost sensational. From a 4min 38sec mark he registered 4min 27 l-ssec, a sterling effort. Another visitor in Glenrossie, who is owned and trained in Wellington, took the principal event, the Royal Handicap, after an exciting race, and Todd Lonzia showed himself to be one of the best trotters produced in New Zealand when he won the Sussex Handicap from another good trotter in First Wrack. Willow Wave, who is not always to be relied on, behaved himself in the Imperial Handicap, and, heavily supported, the win was a popular one. Mr F. E. Graham, treasurer to the club, escorted the Duke of Gloucester on a tour of the grounds, and in both enclosures the Royal visitor was well received, while he also visited the drivers' room and chatted with E. C. McDermott and others. Mr A. I. Rattray and his staff scored another- big success in organising ability, and all detail arrangements were got off with clockwork regularity. The track was in excellent order for racing, and the enclosures looked their best, a credit to the club's caretaker. Mr J. Highsted. ' Details of the racing are as follows: WELCOME HANDICAP,

Of 200 sovs; second horse 40 sovs, and third horse 20 sovs from stake. 3min 85sec class. Dnhoppled trotters. One mile and a half.

NOTES ON THE RACING Backers' Good Start In a very small betting pool Norma Bingen carried more than half the money investe'd on the Welcome Handicap, and she always appeared to have the race in keeping. Resound, Norma Bingen, Ruin, and ! Amonos was the order for the greater part of the journey, but half a mile from home Norma Bingen made a forward move, and from then on tne result was never in doubt. The winner is a really good trotter, and at the recent Canterbury Park meeting she won two races over a mile and a half. She is now getting amongst -he better class horses, but is capable of winning several more races. Resound trotted solidly, but while having no chance with the winner her display was full of promise. The winner appeared to be in a class by herself. A Consistent Performer The Sandringham Handicap was full of interest from start to finish. Cloudy Range, as usual, was-first to go to the front, and he carried on from Peter Locanda, Eureka Boy, and Sure. These horses were always in the firing line, but in the straight Peter Locanda faded and Sure came away to win in most impressive style from Tempest, Cloudy Range, Eureka Boy, Somerby, and Peter Locanda. While Sure was always nicely placed and came away to win in good style, the form displayed by Peter Locanda was not encouraging, and it appeared that his driver, M. C. McTigue, lost heart when the real battle commenced. Sure had raced well at the Auckland meeting for a double victory, and m view of her recent form was allowed to pay a good price. Tempest, from 24 yards behind, was not in a good position early in the race, and his brilliant sprint over the last three furlongs did not quite bring the desired result. He needs to be carefully nursed in a race, but in this event he found a genuine rrcehorse altogether too good. Cloudy Range made his usual honest effort, but failed to stand the strain. Eureka Boy was always in the picture, but met too good a field, and Somerby, not well placed in the early stages, was nearer at the finish than at any other stage of the race. It was a solidly run race without any outstanding incident. Winner from Westport I In the Balmoral Handicap, Bingen Palm made an exhibition of his field for while he was nearer last than first for the greater part of the journey, he fairly buried the rest for speed in a brilliant sprint over the last three furlongs, and won as he liked by three lengths. It was a most impressive performance, and one that stamped the winner as a pacer likely to reach the highest class. Real Burton was always nicely placed, and though she covered extra ground, she was never making the pace. M. J. McTeigue had her in a very handy position, and the mare went better in his hands than when driven by others. Bracken's form for the last 12 months had not been impressive, but on this occasion she showed a determination in her racing that promises well for still better things to come. Pronto Bingen was always well placed, but is not a genuine stayer. Betty Wrack lost ground at the start, and did well to finish fifth, but Reeess failed rather badly over the last part. Glenrossie Shows Form In the Royal Handicap the public supported Sunny Morn to retrieve their fortunes, but though the gelding went well he f<*und Glenrossie altogether too good. In the early stages Vesuvius, Gold Tinge, Pegaway, Sunny Morn, and Mountain Dell formed the leading division, while Blue Mountain was at the tail end of the field. The last-named put in a great burst of speed with six furlongs to go, and this took him to the lead with Vesuvius and Pegaway, while Glenrossie also made a very fast forward move. Blue Mountain naturally faded before the real business commenced, and Glenrossie came on to win very comfortably from Mountain Dell, who had come fast over the final stages, with Silver de Oro, Blue Mountain, and Gold Tinge following closely. Glenrossie had raced well a week previous at Wellington, and by many was considered unlucky not to win the Summer Handicap there. On this occasion he fairly outclassed the field, and won like a genuine stayer. Mountain Dell was always in the picture, and a furlong from home looked a possible winner. Sunny Morn had every chance but was not quite good enough. Silver de Oro was in fourth place at the finish and she never looked a winner, while Blue Mountain, who made a slow beginning and was driven a peculiar race, was in fifth place. Blue Mountain has had some of the keenness taken off him by a hard campaign, and a spell might do him good. Vesuvius fa.ded badly. There seemed no excuse for the remainder, who were never dangerous. The time, 4min 19 l-ssec, from a 4min 25sec mark, accounted for the poor displays of the majority.

" Duke at Starting Barrier The Duke of Gloucester sent off the field in the Sussex Handicap, in very good order, and at once Raclaim went to the front to lead from Don Chenault and Lough Guy with the field gradually, closing up, and Gay Paree, Gemlight, and New Metford handy. The back-marker, .Todd Lonzia, had been trotting m brilliant fashion for him, picking -up ground gradually, while First Wrack also made a move forward. Over the last two furlongs Todd Lonzia fairly beat his field. He won with ridiculous ease in a manner that stamped him one of the greatest trotters. Following on his Ashburton victory Tpdd Lonzia established himself in the best class. First Wrack, driven by E. C. McDermott, saved every inch of ground possible, and half a furlong from home looked a likely winner. Her failure at the finish was in surrender to a brilliant trotter. Sea Gift looked a possibility until Todd Lonzia ranged alongside and then she went to a break. E. J. Smith's attempt to bring the mare back to her gait was fruitless, and she passed the post at a gallop. Sea Gift is still the great trotter many of her admirers claim her to be. Lough Guys reputation was greater than his ability, and New Metford and the remainder found the, class all too good. Willow Wave Wins There was little difference in the support accorded Willow Wave and the George Rey-Queen Author bracket in the Imperial Handicap, and for once in a while the first-named did not lose much ground at the start, and was always handily placed behind Taxpayer and Manoeuvre, and was followed by Rey Spec, Ciro, Morning Sun, and Wild Guy. At the straight entrance Taxpayer and Manoeuvre still held command from Wild Guy, Rey Spec, and Willow Wave, but in the run to the post the last-named proved his worth. He won very nicely from Taxpayer, Gay Gordon, Queen Author, Wild Guy, and Rey Spec. The winner on this occasion gave a fine exhibition of pacing, and while he may have been suited slow pace set, he finished very boldly. His trainer, O. E. Hooper, has evidently improved the gelding's starting manners, and there may be further successes in store. Taxpayer was one of the pacemakers throughout and he

fought on gamely hi a hard finishing;, is rapidly coming back to his best form. Gay' Gordon was not imp. placed early in the race but he cau»with a rare burst of speed over, Jfcft last two furlongs. His winning ,tunt may not be far off. Queen Auyiorlcsi ground at the start, and tailed the field -, in the early stages, while George B& , broke during the running. Wild. Guf and Rey Spec were in good positionsthroughout, but they were beateiM>a; their merits, and the others failed mm the real business commenced. ■ _•-•?',, Speedy Indianapolis :J : Indianapolis was made a very, jwapifavourite for the Windsor Handicap, and carried more than twice the number of tickets invested on- the second favourite, Roil' Or. The race was the good thing the betting suggested lor Indianapolis, followed by Silver-as Oro, was soon well out in front.witn Harold Logan and Roi l'Or /ollowtof at good intervals. This was the <<>33f until the final stretch was commesSsd, at which stage Harold Logan ran-jag second place. Indianapolis came-jaaj the straight with a big advantage-ana-he was still six lengths to the good-as., the judge's box was reached. ■•■j] After his record-breaking earlier in the day it was not- thought Indianapolis would be produced' *a second time, but his trainer, C. Dunleavy, considered- the race ■ agaHUJ time had done the horse little .nam and his judgment proved correw. Indianapolis won his race in tne early part and when Silver cried enough he was left with a go» lead of Harold Logan. Thelatter,\#J is not supposed to be quite at his fiere made a very plucky attempt ana though he equalled Roi l'Or's .rec<S» of 2min 36 2-ssec for a mile and-'* , quarter ha»would need to-have-done a lot better to have won. He'pUHß his usual brilliant beginning and faitfj „ beat Roi l'Or, who has been showing, most impressive form of late. Silver < de Oro failed to run on and ;mf promptu and RoUo were outclassed t .

AUCKLAND TROTTING [THE PBESS Special Service.] ' AUCKLAND, January 19. , The appearance of the programme for the Auckland Trotting Club's February meeting has caused a livening of interest on the, tracks, and at Epsom to-day some sound tasks were registered. The chief performers were members of the Kewpie family, KewSe™ Guy, Kewpie's Triumph, and KewpiVs Bond. Kewpie's Guy registered a smart performance in conceding two lengths start to Kewpie s Triumph, and nolding-him easily at the end of a mile and a hall ltt 3min 26sec, the final half-mile in Imm ,* 3-ssec. Kewpie's Guy. was showing a return to form at the last meeting and her prospects of reaching the winning list next month are very bright. Kewpie's Triumph also shaped well, registering 2min 12sec for the last mile, and lmin ssec for the final section. He has brightened up considerably since Christmas. Kewpie's Bond, alone, worked a Steady mile and a half in 3mm 30sec, but was never hard pressed. The last mile was run in 2min 14sec, and the final half in lmin 6sec. In addition to this trio from Kewpie, J. Gee has four others in his stable, namely Kewpie's King, Kewpie's Crest, a two-year-pld, and a yearling, both by Peter Birtgen. Kewpie's King has not raced since running as a three-year-old, but he is shaping up nicely, and may have his first four-year-old run next month. Others to show useful form without recording and special times were Autumn Lu, Star Pronto, Nimbus, Electric Bell, Auto Machine, Manna's Son Realty, and Mazda, who worked a mile and a quarter very smoothly in 2min 53sec, the last mile in 2min 16sec.

NOTES PROM TRENTHAM i JURY AND CHERRY KING IMPRESS DIATOMOUS IN FORM [THE PBBSS Special Bervlce.l WELLINGTON, January 20. Further heavy rain fell last night but the weather cleared early this morning and after the sun rose, conditions were warm, clear, and bright, being ideal for training operations. The plough was too heavy to be used but the trial grass and the outside of the course proper were open and as a result of the rain were in first-class order. Several visitors were out, but there was not a great deal of fast work. Star Artist galloped five furlongs on the course proper and ran lmin 2Jsec, the last half in 49|sec. She carried a welter weight and shaped well. So far no rider has been engaged for her m the Telegraph Handicap as her connexions had hopes of securing L. J. ElKs, who, however, is on Princess Doreen. R. Marsh is 'likely to get the m ßoyal Artist, also on the course proper ran seven furlongs in lmin Ji sec, the last half in 52Jsec. He now makes a decided noise when working. Variant worked on the course proper and sprinted down the straight moving well. She was regarded by good judges who saw the racing at Auckland as unlucky not to win the Royal Stakes. Hostis worked over _seyen furlongs and although he ran his last five in lmin ssec he was not out after time. . „ ■ _ „„ Cherry King and Grand Jury on the course proper, ran seven furlongs together in lmin 31sec, the last half in 53sec. They kept together throughout and were responsible for a sound gallop without being knocked about. Cherry King had the outside running and appeared to be doing a trifle better at the end. L. G. Morris rode him, while B. H. Morris was on Grand U Travenna finished clear of Palatinate at the end of five furlongs in lmin lh sec, the last half in 50sec. He appreciated the easy gping and it was a good hack gallop. .. Palatinate, who fell over a trestle yesterday, did not hit out so well, and was a bit sore on cooling off. Several fresh arrivals were working without being after time. Amongst them were Cyclonic, Dombey, Lupidus, Gay Marigold, Arouse, Harvest Moon, Limulus, Dialogist, Frieseland, Fersen, Red Manfred, Heritage, Kotou, Diatomous, and II Duce. The remainder of the southern contingent arrived during the morning. Diatomous, who is the ruling favourite for the Telegraph Handicap, was not asked to gallop fast this morning, but he worked on the trial grass and put great dash into his task, being very anxious to go. In all ne went about seven furlongs of pace ! work, and was still reefing for his head at the finish. There is no doubt that this brilliant horse is in first-rate order for his engagements at tne Star Artist's five furlongs this morning was a pleasing effort, as it was accomplished under a fair bit of weight, considerably more than she will carry in the Telegraph Handicap, and the track would not be particularly fast as it was soft on top after_ the rain. Star Artist looks a possible lightweight to trouble the favourites in the sprint event on Tuesday. Cyclonic has not done much galloping recently, but has got through a lot of trotting and swimming, and is in good order, while he was sent one six furlong gallop before leaving home. Dombey is also in good shape for his engagements. The gallop of Cherry King and Grand Jury over seven furlongs was a very satisfactory one, as they kept up a sound pace throughout and were travelling strongly at the finish without being ridden out. The Cup horse is looking particularly well and Cherry King's effort has only got to be repeated in his races to make him a difficult proposition. If anyone were looking for the Cup winner on track work and condition, without being aware of his record, Red Sun would be the pick. This disappointing gelding is exceptionally well and is doing great work, but his record is against him. Red Sun showed great promise a couple of years ago when he won the Auckland Racing Club Handicap and followed it -up with the Wellington Racing Club Handicap, but since then he has failed. His effort in the Manawatu Cup in running second to Tout le Monde was his most attractive performance for a considerable time, and if he could be relied upon to improve slightly upon it, he would be dangerous in Tuesday's big'event. The Manawatu Cup in the past has proved a very reliable guide to Trentham form in January, and it was only last year that Grand Jury won the Wellington Cup after finishing second to Tiger Gain in the Manawatu Cup. It was then thought, as is the case this year, that the form was not quite up to requirements, but Grand Jury's subsequent double success at Stratford proved its worth. Through his escapade at the finish of this year's Manawatu Cup, Red Sun has not had the opportunity of showing whether he could rival Grand Jury's New Year form, and he will have to be taken on trust as compared with the form that the backers of 'Grand Jury relied upon 12 months ago. J. H. Jefferd is to receive three yearlings from Mr A. B. Williams, a colt by Philamor from Clemency (an unraced mare by Limond from Sweet Charity), a filly by Night Raid from Sympathetic, and a filly by Iliad from Maid of the West. Ifie Hastings trainer J. M. Cameron, in addition to The Khedive, has also disposed of Hybiscus, the buyer being Mr Walter Smart, of Wellington, whose colours were well known on the racecourse a few years ago. one of his good horses being Undecided. There has been a drying wind all day to-day, and with hot sunshine the tracks, which were softened on top with the rain, recovered rapidly, and if no more falls the going will be perfect for the racing. L. Dulieu will ride Dombey in the high-weight. R. Marsh, in addition to Rocket, will be on Pakanui, Going Gay, and State Bank, and alsb probably on Star Artist. E. A. Leckie will ride Severe. After Harvest Moon's Stratford showings it was practically decided to cancel his Trentham trip, but he has come down with Arouse and will run on the later days of the meetirtg. There was a very large attendance at the yearling parade at Trentham this afternoon, when the lots were brought into the ring for a brief period, in rotation, while the auctioneer, Mr Reg, Inglis, of Sydney, referred to their breeding and possibilities for the benefit of intending buyers.

INDIANAPOLIS, 2.1 2-5 MILE RECORD LOWERED A STERLING PERFORMANCE Indianapolis brought the figures for the New Zealand mile record closer to the coveted two minutes when at Addington on Saturday he lowered the New Zealand and Australian record of 2min 2 2-ssec, held by Auburn Lad and Walla Walla, to 2min 1 2-ssec. In his successful attempt Indianapolis proved himself one of the greatest horses ever bred, for his record was not made with all the advantages that usually attend such ventures in other parts of the world. It should be remembered Indianapolis has not been specially prepare 4 for mile races, and, like all other pacers and trotters, the development of stamina rather than extreme speed has been the object of his trainers. In America the standard race is one mile, and very few races are run over a longer journey. It seems only reasonable to suppose that some of his speed has been sacrificed for stamina. The weather was fine, but the atmosphere was not so favourable as might have been wished for, and though the track was in excellent order for racing it still carried a certain amount of loose earth and was not so fast as when Auburn Lad made his record. Given the right conditions, it seems only reasonable to suppose Indianapolis would still further reduce his record. He was accompanied in his record-breaking effort by Compass, who was harnessed to a sulky and galloped alongside the record breaker. Very little preliminary, was indulged in, ana at the second attempt Indianapolis went away to a good flying start to cover the first furlqng in 15se~ and the quarter-mile in 30sec, a rate of a mile in two minutes. The big horse was doing his work like a tradesman, and when he passed the half-mile in lmin lsec it was recognised he had a great chance of winning the cup, and though his second quarter-mile was slower than the first McDermott was using very wise judgment, for the stallion came the last half-mile at very nearly a two-minute clip. With Compass alongside, he came into the straight without any apparent slackening of speed, and when his driver flicked him with the whip a hundred yards from the post Indianapolis made a last determined effort, and he flashed past the post with the watches showing 2min 1 2-ssec, the fastest mile ever paced in the Southern Hemisphere. It was a triumph for McDermott's skill in rating, and for F. C. Dunleavy, who had trained the horse for his re-cord-breaking effort. BULLOCH LADE CUP OWNER'S COMPLAINT

When the Bulloch Lade Cup was first offered for competition, Harold Logan was thought likely to be the first horse sent against the New Zealand record of 2min 2 2-ssec, and the public has been keenly interested to know why Mr E. F. C. Hinds did not make an attempt td win the handsome trophy. In a letter addressed to Mr J. H. Williams, president of the New Zealand Metropolitan Club, Mr Hinds explains his position. Following is a copy of the letter:— "I desire to enter a protest against your club giving £IOO to Indianapolis should he succeed in winning this cup. Last August, when Harold Logan was at the top of his form, I applied to your chairman of programmes for permission to go after the cup. His reply was that I could go for the cup, and the £250 for the two-minute record, but that your club would give nothing, unless my horse went two minutes. This was the reason why the trotting public was disappointed. "I would like to know, sir, why the discrimination. It seems to me the only reason is that Harold Logan is not Indianapolis, or that E. Hinds is not G. Barton. I was told that the club did not look to pay out the £250 yet, which inferred that your club did not want Harold Logan in a record attempt. I was blamed for not sending Harold Logan 'after the Bulloch Lade Cup, but my request that your club augment the cup with a donation of any sort being refused, I considered that, as the club would financially benefit, I was entitled to a donation. "I am giving a copy of this letter to the. press, sir, because there was considerable comment last August when the attempt did not eventuate, and I feel that an' explanation is due to the trotting public from me, also your club." * Mr Williams, In a reply to this letter, says:—"The chairman of the programme committee informs me that he was negotiating with Mr Hinds last August for his horse, Harold Logan, to make an attempt to win the Bulloch Lade Cup, and also to pace a mile in two minutes or better. At that time the chairman did not know that the club at whose meeting an attempt was made to win the cup had to give £IOO to the owner of the horse succeeding m breaking the existing record of 2min 2 2-ssec. Nothing came from the negotiations because Mr Hinds insisted upon being paid some appearance money before he would allow his horse to make an attempt. This meant that he would have to receive something whether his horse was successful or not. It was considered that his request was an unreasonable one and nothing came at the negotiations. After the November meeting Mr Dunlevey, trainer of Indianapolis, gave notice to the club in writing that Mr G. J. Barton, the Owner of the horse desired to make an attempt to win the cup, and also to win the £250 for pacing the mile in two minutes or °?} ter \ „ The committee then considered the request, and enquired of the New Zealand Trotting Association the terms which had to be complied with for an attempt to win the cup. It was then discovered that the club would have to give £IOO to the owner of Indianapolis should he succeed in< winning the cup. This was communicated to Mr Barton, who agreed to make an attempt on the cup upon the condition that he would be paid £IOO should his horse succeed in breaking the existing record, and that he would receive £l5O instead of £250 should his horse go two minutes or better; but he did not ask for any appearance money in the event of his horse beinff unsuccessful. s "This is the club's explanation of the facts m connexion with the negotiations between our chairman and Mr Hinds. "It is much to be regretted that Mr Hinds would not allow his horse Harold Logan, to make an attempt, as .he is such a favourite with the sport;inp public. y "I cannot understand why Mr Hinds i handed a cotiv of his letter to me to [The Press' before giving tne an opportunity of replying. I was only handed the letter at 5.30 p.m. on Friday, January 18.
