Master Stead, w;ho is entered for the nack hurdle events at the Wellington Racing Club's meeting, is said to have shown great promise in his sohooling efforts, and will probably lie a candidate for Grand National honours later on. He is a bay gelding by San Rerno from Miss Ituby. T. Pritchard has been offered the mounts on to Beau and Explosive at tho Napier Park meeting. The injuries -received by, J. Jones when schooling Explosive at Ellerslio. last Tuesday morning turn out to be more serious than was at first anticipated, and it transpires that the shoulder is broken. The mishap will keep Jones out of the saddlo ioi "some months. Irariui and Effort did not leave fot Sydney on Friday. The three thoroughbreds shipped by J. Lowe were Artillerie, Dixie. Girl, and the Sir-Laddo —Orchestra ' colt. .On arrival at Sydney to-day they go into . J. Whitworth's stable. ; White Lie has been creating some excitement at Trentham in a schooling effort over hurdles. Recently- 1 it was decided to' test her jumping capabilities, and her trainer decided to mount a hack to give her a "lead" over the fences. The hack cltarcd the first fence in good style, and White Lie followed suit satisfactorily, bnt the Merriwee maro had too much pace for her schooling companion and was alongside of him beforo the next fence was reached.- Just as they approached the jump White. Lie caimoned . into the hack, knocked him over, and then laid tho hurdle flat. Her trainer was, considerably bruised and: shaken as a result of tho mishap, and the schooling lessons have been postponed indefK nitely. \

THE NEW TELEGRAM FORMS. AUCKLAND APPRECIATION. Auckland, June 20, To-day was the first day on which thj new- telegram form was used here, ana business men emphatically pronounce it to be a great improvement upon the old system.
