Wailothe, Seaman, Llanwprn, Yosami, and Roosevelt went through to" Marton by yes- v tei'day morning's train. . ' • ' • Flotilla is reported to bo perfectly sound again, and will probably be seen out at tho. Horowhenua meeting v next week. Tho Torpedo mare is' now ail inmate of F. Carmont's ~ stable at 1 Levin.- * ■ • *: ■■■ • . . The steeplechaser Aroha is being kept in ; solid training in - view of bis engagements at tho Rangitikei meeting. In this issue arc advertised for sale tho stallion Mehvood (St. Leger—Ladybird) and. , tho racehorses (in training) Hillspring, Jolly Roger, and Waicola; also several well-bred ponies. ; ■ 1 and Overtime, who .-won flat raceß iio Wanganui Hunt -'meeting last -Wutic, are both the Marton meeting to-morrow.' • The Eiridspord mare La Notte will this seaspn; bo.ma.ted with tho imported horso Merriwee. - '* Uhlandqr, whose death is reported from Auckland,' was a ' six-year-old gelding by trhlaii from ,Dolly. He won several races \ ae a four-year-old, but aehioved his most important-victory m the spring last season, ,\vhen ho. w'on ,'tbe Birthday Handicap at Ellerslio. y.,Other, good performances of his wore second to Master Delaval in the Autumn Han'dicap at Ellerslie and third to Zimmor--1: man' in the Racing Club Handicap at Ellers- . lib. He was looked upon as a good stayer,, and might have had a chance in this year's N f ew Zealand Cup with 7st. 81b. ;

Looking through the "Turf Register" for tho past season, I note <that some of Uhlan- - der's-performances have been confounded ; . .With those of TJhlando. With many of tho ' V :horses' names so much alike, it is a-wonder ■ that this sort of thing does not occur more ■, frequently.' ' Confusion might' easily arise over.l such names as Frisco and Sir Frisco, Gold. Grest-and'Golden Crest. Millennial and Millennium. Landwern and Llanwern, , Sylvan Park and Sylvien Park, Elysium and Elysian. 'l'iie Mauser gelding, Don Carlos, has been purchased by Mr. P. E. Dcbreceny, of tho Club Hotel, "Pahiatua, and the horse will run .ill' the new. ownership at the Marton Jockey ■ { Club's meeting. Don Carlos has been a long 'time losing his maiden status, but perhaps; the change of ownership may bring about a > ; change of . luck. . '• , Mr: E. Yuill,' who has been in ill-health' . for a couple of , months, had so far improved : ' as to be able to go out driving yesterday." ■ "The'various members of "trainer M'Grath's team'are doing very. satisfactory • work at Masterton. ' Tumut 'will probably be sent to Levin next w,eek;,,to fulfil his' engagement , in tho Electric Hack, but Moloch, Riflemaid, and Sunbonnet may not bp seen out until > . tho Trentham. meeting. • Riflemaid and Moloch are said" to be sure starters in the New Zealand Cup. ' The for- : jner will be ridden by AV. 'H: M'Kay, and ' " •Mplqctt, as' previously stated, is ,to have the" : • services of' R.' Hatch'. Sunbonnet will most ' likely; bo'entered for-the' Stewards' Haridi-'! 'Jc'ap,;and the three horses will go on to j carton immediately after tho Wellington" - .meeting."'." ' : ■ Len. King, who got a nasty fall at tho. Amberloy., meeting, last week, lias now com- , :'■ 'pletely got , over the effects of, tho accident. . '. . ''''Mr.-'James Hawkins, of. Tfew Plymouth, ..• has! purchased the brood mare Lady Nell, and is. her on a'visit'tb^Multifid. . . , The Soult* mare Veronica is to bo shipped: ,to Sydney next Monday in charge of M. v Deebjo. ' . IV "Tho'; Birkenhead filly Mistime, which is now trained in Auckland, .put'.in an appear- ; v , aiice at Marton on Saturday, and may be looked upon as a sure star'tor- : in tile Electric" Handicap to-morrow.
