So far, wo 1 have not, seon how tlioy - c:ui perforin ovoi- tho sticks, but it, is quite jiossiblo that Wirral will make his appearanoo aG a hack hurdler at tho Wangahui. meeting this month. Ho had qui.to a.lot of pace on tho llat, and'if he has: learned to jump dooontly, ho should pay his way all right. ■j. Tho majority, of-, sportsmen must' have pretty well forgotten about Full Cry by this time, and tho general opinion yesterday wa3 that Commander or Pretty Maid woulcl win the Hack Hurdles at Hastings. But Cora-

; mandor ivas not equal to giving Full Crj ; 91b. The latter is now clorou years old, ami , ho was not scon on tho track at all last season. -Tho previous year, when; racing in , tho ownership of Sir. A. Champion, ho won ■ only 0110 race, but ho ran prominently on pevoral other occasions, and did not appeal to bo n back huinbor. His best -year, was ■ jn tho 1903-4 season, when ho won tho Thonip- . ion Handicap, the Hawera Cup, and sero'rnl other races. ; : i Tho result of the Karamu Hurdles places , Repulse's Trentham victory in a much better light, and also makes Aorangi's victory : more creditable. Both theso horses beat To Kainui very easily, and tho latter has now beaten Gold Dust and Asteroid. Gold Bust Was conceding To- Kainui 291b., but after seeing the former at Feilding and the latter at Tronthani, one would scarcely, think that thrco stono would bring them together. . Te Kainui, though, would be susceptible to more improvement than tho Gold Reef gelding, and would be better snitod by the heavy going.. , AYoodhcy was made a'very hot favourite for tho . Autumn Handicap yesterday, : but Chicane proved, too good for tho Birkenhead filly. Like tho majority of the Possibles, Chicane seonis well suited hv a, mile, or a mile and .a quarter course. Slio has done a lot of racing -this season, and Ims'shown . fair winning, form. 1 .Tho Riverland? Hack race,, at the Marlborough..meeting is a half-mile race, and thoreforjB 1 specially suitable for a fast beginner like Naumai. Tho Conqueror gelding; with lOst.'. 91b., had to give away ovor 3st. • to of his' opponents, but lie managed to win just the same. - Mr! Lyons, has evidently been unlucky with Waipuna in Sydney. Regarding the Sonlt • gelding's,performance'in the Final Handicap at. Randwick an exchange says:—New Zcfc land-bred Waipuna., by- Soult from Folly, was made favourite., and that lie did not :win was due to his position nt tho start. Tho field was a bit troublosome, and, when tho barrier went up the favourite was almost , turna round/ This-lost him a lot of ground, and, as the pace was solid,'mado so by Lady Esme' and Logatibn to tho' distance, and then by Lord Fitzrov,; Waipuna was placed at'a groat disadvantage. ' Clayton rodo him a clever race, but he could not quite make up |ho Jost ' ground, 'and' was beaten a short neck by Lord Fitzro.v, Bst. 31b. '■■ ; • : - Reviewing the Australian • Jockey/ Club's Autrimn meeting, the', " Town and,; Country Journal" says The public favourito. of itho meeting was undoubtedly.
