A credit of £BIO 12s 6d was shown in the annual report and balance-sheet presented at the annual general meeting of the Waimate Racing Club tonight.

RACING FIXTURES

TUKF GOSSIP

Reminder Acceptances for the first day of the Geraldine Racing Club's spring meeting will close at 8 p.m. on Monday. Prompt Dispatch The officials of the Ashburton County Racing Club will cajry out their previous rule of adhering strictly to the time-table, and the tctalisator will close promptly on time before each race. Investors are therefore advised to transact their business early. Good Breeding Elegy will represent Mr A. K. Firth, owner of Royal Chief, in the Penscroft Hack Handicap at "Ashburton to-day. She is a long-striding filly by Posterity from Damaris, winner of the Great Northern Oaks, and a close relation to Lysander, Humbug. Commendation, Epitaph, and Eulalie. She was purchased for Mr Firth as a yearling for 300 guineas, and had her first race at the Grand National meeting last month. Jottings F. Roberts, who took over J. S. Shaw's team at the beginning of September, will saddle up his first horse at Ashburton to-day. His representatives will be Moonraker, Waitaka, and Greek Gold. The funeral of J. McCarthy, formerly of Riccarton, was largely attended. He was buried in the Waimairi cemetery. The pall-bearers were J. C. Tom kinson, G. Barr, J. Barr. E. Roscwarne. J. Murfitt, and M. Kirwan. Wreaths covered the coffin, including one from the trainers and riders of Riccarton. Bastille is the name recently given to the Robespierre—Antagonist mare gelding in J. B. Pearson's stable. He is owned by Mr A. J. McLaughlin, of Christchurch. and is six years old. Knight Ccmmander and Lady Leigh will be bracketed on the total isator in the Novice Stakes. This will be the only bracket in the galloping events on the programme. P. V. Mason will have two candidates in the Ashburton Novice Slakes,' Merry March and Haerepo. The former is a three-year-old colt by Nightmarch from Kilmiss, owned by Mr A. Louisson. and Haerepo is a three-year-aid gelding by Nightmarch from Aznlea, bred and owned by his trainer. The world's record for seven furIqrigs is held by First Edition II who ran lmin 20sec at Hurst Park. England, in May, 1926, carrying 9-0. The Hawke's Bay Jockey Club has appointed Mr A. V. O'Brien, Wellington, its judge for the spring meeting and the Napier Park Racing Club has made the same appointment for the season. Travenna, a brilliant galloper on the flat, is to have his first race over

hurdles at Ashburton to-day. With his pace, he should be prminent for a good part of the trip, but lack of experience over the battens may find him out. Night Sail, who can be expected to race well in to-day's hurdle race, is a fivc-year-old mare by Night Raid from Set Sail, who was one of the best gallopers of her sex in the South Island a few years ago. Like Set Sail, her daughter races in the colours of he'r breeder, Dr. J. E. Rogers, of Southland. Sheeny, engaged in the Novice Stakes to-day, is a four-year-old filly by Rabbi • from Cessation, by Limond from Termination, one of the famous Stepfeldt family, and is trained at Washdyke for Mr W. J. Dore by P. Hogan. Valmarch. also in the Novice Stakes, is a stable-mate of Travenna, and a half-brother by Valkyrian to Grand Finale and Dismiss. Arrowglen (H v Turner) gave another fast display over four hurdles at Ricacrton yesterday. Myosotis was mated with 48 mares last season, and no fewer than 44 of them have proved to be in foal. Not Recognised Mr L. Coop, owner of Willie Win, left Wellington for Sydney yesterday en route to Melbourne to supervise the training of his horse for forthcoming engagements. Under Australian rules, it is not possible for a woman trainer to secure a licence, and although Mrs J. Campbell will continue to look after the gelding, Mr Coop will figure as his trainer. Similar procedure was adopted when Vintage raced in Australia two years ago. Two Divisions There are 18 horses carded for the Novice Slakes at Ashburton to-day, and as the race has to be divided if there are 18 or more horses paraded, in a six furlong race on the Ashburton course, provision has been made for two divisions as follows: —First division: Clubman, Sheeny, Short Circuit. Gresham, Knight Commander, Happy Night. Moonraker, Haerepo, Lisnacroe, Cocksure. Second division; Valmarch Prince Flaneur. Elmarch. Bastille. Lady Leigh. Stone Frigate, Merry March, Rabble, and Love Affair. A win dividend will be paid on the winner of each division and dace dividends will be paid on the first and second horses of each division. Betting at Ashburton The win-and-place system will be in use at Ashburton to-day. In the event of four or fewer starters, one dividend will be declared. If five, six, or seven starters, two dividends will be paid, and there will be three dividends for eight or more starters. A Chokcbore Maiden Stone Frigate, one of the No%’ico Stakes field, is owned by Sir Charles Clifford, and is a three-year-old filly by Nightmarch from Sailor's Love, by The Ace from Sailor's Hope, dam of Waterline, Fast Passage and Streamline. She cannot boast of much size but has displayed a turn of speed in track trials. Retains Interest The Riccarton trainer. C. McCarthy, will saddle up two candidates in the Novice Stakes, Rabble and Lisnacrce, both rac.ng in West Coast interests. The former is a three-year-old gelding by Rabbi from Jael. by Shambles from Judith. Jael was bred by Mr George Gould, and sold by him to Mr E. W. Spencer, then of Rceflon. for whom she won races at West Coast meetings. Mr Spencer now lives in West Africa, but decided before he left to continue to have a horse in training in New Zealand. Reference to this was made in the annual report of the president of the New Zealand Racing Conference in July last, as follows: "After many years as a representative on the Conference of the Grcymouth District clubs. Mr Spencer resigned this office on account of leaving New Zealand for Africa, but he still retains an interest in our racing, as he has loft us a horse to carry his colours.” Lisnacrce is a three-year-old filly by Muskctoon from Lady Epsom, and curries the colours of Miss M. C. Wilson, of Reefton. who will also have Argentic and Monastic'at to-day's meeting. Both of McCarthy’s candidates h--ve impressed track-watchers, and arc likely to earn some distinction later in the season. Wctan It is reported from Australia that Wotnn has boon supported for the Melbourne Cup and coupled with Talking I for the Caulfield Cup. Lest Respects In a letter to Invercargill, a Southland resident visiting Melbourne states that he was present at the funeral of S. G. Ware, who was buried at the New Cheltenham cemetery. There were about 70 persons present. 60 of whom were New Zealanders or former New Zealanders, including H. R. Telford, F. J. McKay, A. E. Didham, J. Fryer, H. E, Russell. McLauchlan, S. Pyper, W. Jenkins, and T. Wilson. Gone to Melbourne Sanguine King and Midacre, who were taken to Australia some months ago bv Mrs R. Bevan. Feildmg. were not suited by the climate at Sydney and Mrs Bevan has accordingly moved on to Melbourne, where the climate is similar to that prevailing in New Zealand. In a letter to a friend. Mis Bevan says she is planning to return heme shortly. She considers herself fortunate in securing the services of Ron Cameron, formerly of New Zealand. .to take charge of her horses. In four starts with Midacre Cameron secured a first and a second and was twice unplaced. Even better things are expected of this galloper. Champion Retires S. Donoghue. the famous jockey, has announced that he will retire from riding this year. "I have already won four classics this season," he said, “sc it is a fitting one in which to close ray career, and I am adopting the advice of my friend, Sir Victor Sassoon.” Doneghue’s classic victories were the One Thousand Guineas and Oaks on Exhibitionist, and the Irish Two Thousand Guineas and Irish Derby on Phieleas, horses owned by Sir Victor Sassoon Donoghue, who will probably set up as a trainer at Newbury, has ridden more than 1800 winners under Jockey Club rules, including six Derby winners. Trenlham Yearling Sale To enable the catalogue for the twelfth annual national yearling sale to be held at Trcntham on January 10 next, to be compiled in time lor circulation overseas, entries will close on October 9 with the joint auctioneers. Pyne, Gould, Guinness, Ltd., and Wright, Stephenson and Company, Ltd.

TROTTING NOTES A Reminder Nominations for the New Brighton Trotting Club's October meeting will close at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Methven Trotting Club Nominations for the Methven Trotting Club’s meeting on October 2 arc numerous enough, and in several races the fields of poor class pacers arc likely to be a bit too big to provide the best class of racing. The field for the Methven Cup numbers 15, and included is Reporter, who, handicapped on 4min 2Gsec, will have to concede 144 yards start. It should not be forgotten. however, that 12 months ago ho conceded 60 yards and finished second in 4min 24 l-ssec, and he is a much better horse to-day. The Methven Club should enjoy a very successful fixture. Bracketed Horses Horses that will be bracketed in the trotting events at Ashburton to-day include;— Selma Handicap: Ivy Peterson and Warwick. Kakaia Handicap: Bill B. and Starwyn; Rollalong and Dundee; Mohican and Zest. A Prospect St, Lyria, who will race in the Rakaia Handicap at Ashburton to-day, is trained at Oamaru by J. Henderson and is a six-year-old mare by Rcy de Oro from St. Maura, a very brilliant sprinter who won a number of races when trained by F. G. Holmes. At the Timaru meeting last March, St. Lyna won the Temuka Handicap from a big field and paced a mile and a half in 3min 21 2-ssec. Mocrcwa and Starwyn filled the places. Now handicapped on 3min 34scc St. Lyria would need only to be at her best to take a prominent part in the race. May Improve Labourman, trained by his owner. Mr J. C. Nordquist, at Methven. was fancied in certain quarters for the Wellington Trotting Club's meeting last Saturday, and while he ran a fair race it was an unprofitable trip. Labourman, however, is a useful pacer and may improve on previous performances. The New Totalisator The work of installing the now totalisator at Addington is being pushed ahead rapidly and everything will be in order for the official opening at the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's meeting in November. The Bell Punch Totalisator Company has supplied the machine and at the official opening will be represented by Mr Drummond Black who, besides being managing director of the Totalisalor Company, is also chairman ot directors of the Warwick and Company's paper mill and pulp, owneis ol the biggest ticket printing concern in the world. Mr R. O. Duncan, the Australian and New Zealand representative of the Bell Punch Totalisator Company, and well known in New Zealand a few years ago as a prominent owner, will be at the official opening of the machine in November.

A Progressive Club Next Tuesday the New Brighton Trotting Club will take nominations for its meeting on October 9, and owners will appreciate the increase in slakes that has been made compared with the programme presented 12 months ago. The New Brighton Trotting Club is out to make its meeting the most popular in the South Island, and the committee is going the right way to achieve its object. The clas.-ios have been tightened, and this is a move in the right direction; but more in the interests of owners is the substantial increase made in the prize money. The following programme, with last year's figures shown in parenthesis, shows the big advance that has been made:—lnnovation Handicap (£130) of £175; Shirley Handicap <£l3o> of £175; Walter Thompson Handicap (£300) of £450; Summer Handicap (£140) of £250; Avon Handicap (£160) of £250; New Brighton Handicap (£150) of £250; Beach Handicap (£150) of £250; and Farewell Handicap (£150) of £2OO. This is a programme worthy of the name, and the New Brighton Club is to be congratulated on the progressive policy it has adopted. Its initiative will bring its own reward. The main Ftake is £450 and no race is worth less than £175.'

A Great Record Although F. J. Smith headed the list of trainers for the number of races won during the 103 G-37 season, the credit for having won the most money rnuifl go to F. C. Dunlcvy with a total of more than £BOOO. Practically the whole of this total went to Mr G. J. Barton, who has regularly kept in work a big team of horses which have provided some of the greatest performances of the season. While Indianapolis is the star of a very strong stable, he won only £llOO during the year, against £2610 taken by Grand Mogul, who won six races besides tilling minor places. Cloudy Range, with £1155, also headed the champion in the way of stakes won, while following closely was the trotter Bittersweet with £924 and Tempest with £COS. Since he took over the training of the Derby Lodge horses. Dunievy has established a record of which any trainer might be proud, and for Mr G. J. Barton alone the total in three seasons is more than £22,000. Associated with Dunievy is the young rcinsman, J. Fraser, jun., and the pair make a strong combination that promises to be still more formidable during the present year. Mr Barton, guided by the advice of his trainer, is ever ready to pay a reasonable price for a good horse, and the success has been thoroughly deserved. It need not be thought that £22,000 in three years is the profit on the stable’s activities, for trotting is an expensive hobby, and a string such as Mr Barton keeps in work costs a great deal for training, travelling, nominations, acceptances, etc. It is probable, however, that the Dunedin owner and his trainer have made a bigger success of racing pacers and trotters than any other pair in New Zealand. The Derby Lodge team for the present season's racing includes all last year’s star performers, and there are several younger horses that give promise of reaching the highest grade. At Ashburton Warwick, engaged in the Selma Handicap at Ashburton to-day, is a three-year-old gelding by Jack Potts from Satin Queen, and is owned and trained by J. Bell, jun. He will be bracketed with Ivy Peterson, a six-year-old Rey de Oro marc that showed speed in .her Wellington engagements. Others engaged include Pagan, a gelding by Travis Axworthy—ldol, trained by L. Davidson: Great Divide (M. C. McTigue), 4yrs, by Great Bingen— Blue Mountain King mare; Bing Crosby (E. J. Smith), 4yrs. by Grattan at Law —Lady Goslin; Wax Vestas, aged (J. Behrns), by Matchlight— Oinako mare; Lightning Lady (W. K. Tattcrson). 4yrs, by Jack Potts—Peter Chenault marc; Policy CM. Holmes), syrs, by Grattan Loyal—Mavis Bingen; Loyal Rufine (R. McDonnell). Jyrs, by Grattan Loyal—Rufine: Silver Grattan IJ. Wilson), 3yrs, by Grattan Loyal—Oinako mare; and Marlene (C. S. Donald), 4yrs. by Jack Potts—Auditress.

ASHBURTON RACES PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY The first spring meeting of the season in Canterbury will be held to-day by the Ashburton County Racing Club, and intending patrons can look forward to an excellent day’s racing. The track will be in firm order, and the win-and-place system will again be in use. A special passenger train will leave Christchurch at 9.50 a.m., and the return train will leave the racecourse siding at 5.25 p.m., arriving in the city at 7 p.m. The programme is as follows: —

The opening event, the County Hurdles, has attracted a strong field, which includes a few likely novices. Redolent has the best credentials, and in spite of his weight he has to be respected. His stable mate, Giggleswick, has been worKlng better of late than for a long time, and will also have a good following. Travenna. Epris, and Forum will be making their first appearances as hurdlers, and interest will attach to their showings. As flat performers, the two first-named should dispute the issue. Monastic would be favoured with a longer journey, and Silver Sight may be in want of a race or two. Sunnyland is certain to be in keen demand. He created a big impression bv his first race over hurdles at the Grand National meeting, and this will be his second attempt. Chaste has been schooling in an encouraging manner, and no doubt will be considered a likely place proposition. Night Sail led to the last fence in the hurdle race at the recent Otago Hunt fixture, and but for a bad' jump would have been closer than third at the post. The race is lull of possibilities, and the final summing up may be in favour of Sunnyland. Giggleswick, and Night Sail. 12.55 p.m.—

The Novice Stakes is for three-year-olds and UDwards that have not won a i;:c.:. and the form of the candidates has therefore to be judged on their showings in races and on the tracks. Two who were expected to have got on the winning list as two-year-olds were Cocksure and Happy Night, and as both have raced fairly prominently, they no doubt will share the honour of favourite. Valmarch. Prince Flsneur, Short Circuit. Moonraker. and Lisnacrce hav: also sh-:ped promisingly in races, and Clubman. Stone Frigate. Rabble, and Love Affair have sho- n ability on the track. Speculation is sure 'to be widely distributed, and the best supported may be Cocksure, Happy Night, and Valmarch.

The field for the Selma Handicap is comprised mostly of maiden pacers, several of whom have shown promising form. A big field does not usually give the handicapped horses ;i chanee. but whi'e Francisco has yet to win a race, she has shown brillance in several efforts. Her second to Refund at New Brighton was an outstanding performance, and a sumricnt reason for making her favourite in to-day's race. Interest will be taken in the first appearance of the American Bing Crosby, and Anna Wong and Tvv Peterson showed form at Wellington. Another possibility is Policy. The favourites should be Francirco. Anna Wong, and Policy. 2.15 p.m.— ASHBURTON HANDICAP, of £2OO. One

An attractive field will parade for the Ashburton Handicap, and each candidate can be said to possess bright prosnects. Greek Shepherd has been doing well since the Grand National meeting, but may require more racing. Davolo has only been seen once at Riccarton since he ran third to Willie Win and Sovereign Lady over nine furlongs on the concluding day of the Grand National meeting; but he has got through some solid work on his heme track, nnd is entitled to be well supported. Silver Streak von over a mi'e and a quarter in 2min 4 2-sse.c at Ashburtcn in May last year, and has not been on the winning list since: but he is reported to be very well, and cannot be neglected. Last Refrain usually rares best second up at a meeting, but is always liable to be dangerous. Araboa may find the journey a little too far. but Fiord makes strong appeal under his light impost. The latter has been galloping exceptionally well, and is in more solid condition than ever previously. Wild Career has not had a race for a long while and Cape Gabo has not been working as satisfactorily as might be wished. The pace is certain to be on from the outset, and the most recent form points to the prosoects of Davolo. Last Refrain, and Fiord. 2.r>o p.m.— JOHN GRIGG STAKES, of £3OO. For two-vear-olds. Four furlongs. O F Watson's ch c Raeburn, by Colossus -Lshuffler J, Beattie's br c Dunstan, by SiegfriedArbitration Dr. M G Louisson's ch f Great Baby, by Ilovlake— Royal Baby T. E. Panklwrst's br f Pink Bond, by Pink Coat—Tray Bond Sir diaries Clifford's b f Scuffle, by Winning Hit—Scrimmage G R Maedonald's b c Gaoler, by Lord Warden—Eulalie D. M. Tweedie's ch t Ortyx, by Lord Warden—Francolin The John Grigg Stakes, for two-year-olds, will be one of the most interesting of the day's items. The club was unfortunate in not getting a more liberal response from owners: but the seven horses carded are capable of providing an exciting tussle over the half-mile journey. Investors have not much to go on in summing up the field, and it is difficult to suggest which youngster may go out favourite: but on the form seen in two-vear-old trials and on the tracks, the final issue may be confined to Raeburn, Scuffle, and Ortyx.

The hack class is strongly represented in the Penscroft Handicap, and again investors have plenty of good material to work on. The Chokebore three-year-olds, Nightdress and Lazybones, are interesting candidates, and as they will not be bracketed, each is sure to carry support. Rodeur has been pleasing in her recent work, but has not had a race for a long period.

Waitaka won at his last start, and looks likely again to be in evidence. Petersham is useful, but Miracle has to be taken on trust. Sir Hugh also has disappointed when expected, and on this account will not carry much confidence. Maroha has made marked improvement in the last few month?, and should be handy at the right end. Dropped Catch will need some racing to get him into the right order. Screamer is being tried over some ground, and the experiment will be followed with interest. A trio likely fo supply the placed division comprise Lazybones, Waitaka, and Petersham.

Another intricate problem will be presented by the Spring Handicap, in which some smart sprinters are engaged. Wild Chase will be having his first race since he won the Awapuni Gold Cup last April, and naturally he will not be considered ready to win over six furlongs; but such a brilliant galloper cannot be overlooked. Gold Boa will also be making a reappearance after a long lapse, and she. too, must be kept in view. Queen of Song can hardly be seriously considered, and the same applies to Argentic, who will be having his first race since his fecident at Riccarton on Easter Monday. Wino is another who will be short of racing, and Rebel Chief will no doubt once more be in the picture for a good part of the journey. Greek Gold is always liable to fill a place. Pelmet is on the improve, and if she gets away well she may make a strong bid. Gaysome is in good heart, and has only to race up to her recent track form to take part in the final tussle. Top Rank and Invoice may do better ißter. With a firm track, a fast six furlongs should be recorded, and the favourites may be Wild Chase, Gaysome, and Gold Boa.

The Rakaia Handicap field includes a number of horses with winning form to recommend them and likely to improve still further. The bracket. Bill B and Starwyn, will command support, and Dundee and Rollalong. from the R. B. Berry stable, will make a showing. Panquitch, Olive King. Gallinford. St. Lyria. and Labourman have all shown promise, and a close finish may find St. Lyria, Labourman, and Gallinford in the places. FOXTON K.C PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY [THE PRESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, September 17. The spring meeting of the Foxton Racing Club will be held to-morrow. Class is not strong, but the fields are good. Betting will be single pool and the going is in good order. The following horses may be well supported: Trial Stakes: Gay Hunting and Joe Louis. Paiaki Hurdles: Round Score and Southern Blood. Motuiti Hack: Golden Chest and Rotorua. Carnarvon Gold Cup: Old Surrey and Myriam. Steeplechase: Tiger Bill and Ruenzori. Awahou Hack: Spender and Warehi. Robinson Handicap: Reipar and Jubilee Song. Thornton Hack: Joviality and Final.
