Excellent acceptances have been re--1 ceivcd for the Woodville Jockey Club's ' meeting, and the racing thero promises to bo.full of.interest. ■ .' On Friday last the Auckland Racing ; Club- dealt with a complaint lodged by ; T. Cunningham against jockey B. Dee- ; ley. Tho allegation made was that Doe- , ley had not fulfilled a riding engage- , mcnt at tho recent spring meeting. The .' complaint was dismissed. ' White Lie has been retired from tho ' race tracks and has been sent on a visit > to Field Battery. The black mare had a '• particularly hard time when racing on the flat. She is a well-shaped marc, and - should mako an ideal dam. ' B. J. Mason has finally decided to ' leave Christchurch on Decombcr 19 for : Auckland. His horses will ho railed from Wellington, via tho Main Trunk ' line. About the same time that Mason is " leaving Lyttelton J. H. Prosscr will bo ' starting from Porirua, and will conse- '' (iuontly arrive some fifteen hours in front of tho southern trainer, j* . Trontham trainer A. Goodman has reI turned Ohiro to his owners, and has ', filled his box with a five-year-old uno named gelding by Tho Officer from Kiss- ; ing Cup. ). Merriletta has yet to win a race, and > it is doubtful if her owner will pcrsei, j vcre much longer with her. The mare >, I has not been on • tho tracks lately, as

she is suffering from some form of bron- ■ ohial trouble. Tho recently-returned Gold Lace and Effort aro being spelled' at Trentham, and will not be raced again until tho autumn. Lord Kelvin is not to fulfil liis Feilding Stakes engagement, but, all going well, tho Multiiorni coit will accompany Iranui to tho Woodvillo meeting. A peculiar circumstance in connection with tho Feilding meeting is that not a single horse from Trentham will bo racing there. On tho following week the stables of J. Lowe, W. Davies, and J. Ayers will havo representatives at tho Woodvillo meeting.
