IniiMial Experience On Saturday, January 12, Melbourne racegoers had an unusual experience. They were able to enjoy a day of racwithout having to suffer the discomforts of a wet day. It was the first occasion for something like 14 weeks that sport had not been interrupted by rain in Melbourne. Then and Now

'•'i'- alleged deterioration of horses, jockey;-', and nearly everything else associated with racing, but I never hear any of them say: 'We can't train iiorscs like ihe men of 50 years ago'," iayii a writer in the Sydney "Referee." Personally, I think training methods, as well as most tilings in racing, have scvanced. but nevertheless you cannot P'-lp smiling at the fact that some trainers, while condemnatory in every 'jtaer direction, .seem to have an idea wat faultfinding is almost impossible Vr! -'re they are concerned. What their Patrons think is another matter. Incidentally, some of those old-timers Understood horses, and, with the advantages of the present day, would Cave held their own against the modern article."

shows there is not sufficient inducement to keep good old horses in training. During the season 20 horses won more than £4OOO in stakes, and the total value of the races which fell to them was £149,330. More than half the money was won by three-year-olds, their- share being £79,715, which was distributed as follows:—Windsor Lad, £24,903; Colombo, £9097; Umidwar, £7867; Campanula, £7433; Light Brocade, £6436; Alcazar, £5696; Alishah, £5438; Badruddin, £4561; Foxcroft, £4150; and Wychwood Abbot, £4133. Windsor Lad won the Derby and Leger, Colombo, the Two Thousand Guineas; Light Brocade, the Oaks, and Campanula the One Thousand Guineas. Six two-year-olds, among them, accounted for £40,711, so that left only £28,904 to be shared among four four-year-olds, of which Felicitation, the Ascot Gold Cup winner, won £9255; Salmon Trout, winner of the Eclipse Stakes, £9166; Contoneaster. £6397, and Caymanas, £4086. Contoneaster and Caymanas had to win their money mostly in handicaps.

TROTTING NOTES Reminders Nominations for the Auckland Trotting Club's summer meeting will close on Friday. Nominations for the New Brighton Trotting Club's summer meeting will close on February 7 at 12 noon. Nominations for the Wellington Trotting Club's meeting, to be held on February 9, will close to-day at 8 p.m. Favourites at Forbury Park Elvo and Sure are the ruling favourites for the Dunedin Cup. Wild Guy and Cloudy Range are well fancied for the Flying Handicap. The Southland Champion Kibo is regarded as one of the best mares bred in Southland and in her racing at Forbury Park she will be well tested by some of Canterbury's fast improving pacers. A Favourite Princess Onyx should not be fully extended to win the Vauxhall Handihap on the opening day at Forbury Park. Temperamental Graham Direct, winner of the Champion Stakes at Ashburton on Boxing Day, will have another opportunity in the Southland Handicap at Forbury Park. He will start from 12 yards behind. and if in the humour to race he will be handy at the finish. He is by no means the finished racehorse, for his barrier manners have cost him several races.

Disappointed at Timaru Radiant Gold was the popular choice for the Levels Handicap at Timaru on Saturday and though he did little wrong from the start he did not make the showing of a prospective winner. This was the race that gave a real horse a chance for Red Gold shot out with such a commanding lead that he appeared all over a winner, even with two furlongs to go. It was not until two furlongs from home that Midshipmaid set out to bridge the gap. V. Alborn's mare provided every opportunity for others in the race to make a showing if they had been capable of doing so and the failure of Radiant Gold and others to take advantage of the opportunity showed a lack of racedriving ability on the part of some of the drivers engaged. At Forbury Park on Thursday, Radiant Gold is engaged in the Southland Handicap, and it will be interesting to watch his running in view of his latest display. Radiant Gold, according to the betting. is either a much overrated three-year-old. or his Timaru running was wrong.

Midshipmaid Midshipmaid, for her win in the Levels Handicap at Timaru, has been penalised 24 yards in the Southland Handicap at Forbury Park, but even with this penalty it is not wise to ignore the chances of a particularly brilliant pacer. She appears to have stamina above the average, and a burst of speed that is too much for the average pacer. Although she will be asked to give away a bigger start than on Saturday last, she is meeting much the same class, and her extra penalty may not be sufficient to level the field.

Midshipmaid is by Man o' War, a great stayer, who has transmitted his stamina to his progeny. C. Dunleavy's Pair Mr G. J. Barton, the principal natron of C. Dunleavy's stable, has not a horse engaged at the Forbury Park meeting, but Mr J. Richardson, who has several horses in Dunleavy's care, is represented by Iraq and Chiming Wrack. The former claims an engagement in the Electric Handicap on Thursday, and on form he should be a warm favourite. He will meet a more than useful pair in Dundee and Chechahco, but he is a pacer well above the average, and nothing in the race appears as likely to finish ahead of him. Mr J. Richardson is a wellknown Dunedin sportsman and should be very anxious to win on his home course. Prince Harvester Prince Harvester refused to do anything right on the Washdyke course on Saturday, and possibly, like a number of other horses, he was affected by the slippery nature of the going. It was a poor exhibition for a trotter who has shown consistency and speed in his races. His form was altogether wrong, for the chestnut requires a firm footing on which to show his best. An Even Field A most interesting race on the opening day at Forbury Park .should be the Musselburgh Handicap, o£ two

DUKE'S CUP FOR FLAT RACE

EVENT FOR GENTLEMEN RIDERS " FIRST CONTEST AT MARTON (PRBSS ISSOCUTIOH TELEGBAM.) WELLINGTON, January 28. The Duke of Gloucester has given a cup to the New Zealand Racing Conference to be competed for annually in a race to be held alternately in the North and South Islands. It will be a fiat race over a distance not greater than one mile and a quarter. Riders must be gentlemen riders. At the express wish of the Duke the first club to hold the race will be the Marton Jockey Club. The conference may add such further conditions as it thinks fit. In acknowledging this gracious act, the president of the New Zealand Conference (Mr J. S. McLeod, Hastings) has sent a telegram to the Duke respectfully tendering the sincere thanks of the conference, which is deeply sensible of the high honour conferred on racing and which, together with racing clubs, will constantly aim to insure the fruition of the desire prompting the gift—that the turf in New Zealand may be strengthened in its most sporting aspect. The conference also respectfully bade farewell to his Royal Highness and wished him a safe and happy voyage home.

"It is a most generous gift, which will be much appreciated by the gentlemen riders in New Zealand," said Mr A. S. Elworthy, chairman of the committee of the Canterbury Jockey Club, yesterday, "and there is no doubt that a race will be arranged to meet with the Duke's wishes. On behalf of the Canterbury Jockey Club, I can only say that the club realises the honour which it shares with other racing clubs in the Dominion, and associates itself with the thanks expressed to the Duke by the president of the New Zealand Conference."

SILENT BILL MR T. A. DUNCAN'S PRESENT TO DUKE UT.K9S ASSOCIATION TELEGBAM.) WELLINGTON, January 28. Mr T. A. Duncan, of Hunterville, has presented the Duke of Gloucester with Silent Bill, a four-year-old chestnut gelding, for use as a hunter in England. The Duke was the guest of Mr Duncan at the New Year, and during his visit did a good deal of riding, Silent Bill being his mount. Then he expressed himself as being very pleased with the horse and now he has accepted him as a gift from his host. Silent Bill, who was bred in New South Wales and bought by Mr Duncan as a yearling, has shown considerable promise and has attained success on the racecourse as a jumper.

miles, for 4min 47scc class horses. The trotter Amonos appears 1o be out or his class in a field of fast-improving pacers, and it will bo interesting to find how the remainder perform. Several claim engagements earlier in the day, and it would not surprise to find several trainers onlv too pleased to escape a meeting with others accepted for. Battlefield, on scratch, has shown his ability to handle the Forbury Park track, and the small field wili suit. him. but in the face of this is a peculiar ' showing at Timaru. A reversal of form will be necessary if he is to take a part in the finish; but possibly the state of the track and other explanations can be offered. Dundee, one of the most brilliant track workers in the Dominion, has many things to recommend him, but donsistency is not amongst the number. He is the mystery horse of th" trotting world at present. Full Hand will do his best every time, and this is a recommendation, but if reserved for this race he should be held safe by Iraq, who is also engaged earlier

in the day. Midshipmaid has done her racing like a rare stayer, and if reserved for this race her prospects appear bright. Guy Junior has not been favoured with the best of luck, but he is a good racehorse; and the two' Southland-owned horses, All Sunshine nnd Chechahco. arc regarded with the greatest respect by Canterbury trainers. The field will be smalt, but it would be hard to imagine ,one of better matched pacers. Midshipmaid will be one the Southlandcrs will have to beat. Wise Guy Wise Guy did not finish on like a rood racehorse at Timat'U. but his running in the earlier stages of the Salishn ■■ •'-"■n phowed him to be very near the top of his form. In the King George Handicap at Forbury Park he *is set to meet a very useful team, and if the Southland-owned Kibo is anything approaching the racehorse she is reported to be, then Wise Guy will have to show a great improvement on his recent form to have a chance. This race should be confined to the horses that start off the limit. the number comprising Blue Mountain Queen, Kibo, Llewellyn's Pride, and Wise Guy. Kibo will probably elect to make the pace from the start, with the idea of testing the stamina of Wise Guy, whose driver, A. Butter-f-eld. prefers the lead to any other j oo=ition in a race. These tactics s iit Llewellyn's Pride, a brilliant pacer, j who will be racing over his favourite distance.
