Acceptances for tho first day's events «t the,. Wood villo Jockey.Club's meeting close, on Monday next, . .-.'■■'

Montiform's owner telegraphed c|a tho- morning-'of tho 'races at, Hawera that the colt was to - , bo sent homo if he did not.win. As tho son of Multiform scored most decisively/-his departure for homo will probably bo dn'.iyed now untilafter'tho Taranaki meeting. Tamaintipo was well supported by his owner, when ho won tho''Welter at Hawera on Thursday, In tho- Flying on-tho. first day ho :was carried off his feet by the fast pace .that- Truo Shot and Gladiolo' set.' His owner thought that with welter weights jtho race would bo a ''different race, and ho summed it tip correctly, for"trio; Soult gelding was .first to become prominent, aud-was not headed. ;

Darby Paul,'wlurwas' placed third in tho Farmers' Plato at tho Egmont meeting, is tho horso that so unexpectedly defeated Tho Nativo in tho Kanoi Cup. His dam is who also threw Compass, and this'gelding greatly resembles tho National- winner. At a later stage lio should become, a proficient fenper.l." '."

After tho Atkinson Memorial Stakes had been'decided at Hawera; Mr. II: M'ManawajV tho former owner of North East, offered to repurchaso .tlio Winter Cup winner, but his pfesont owner, Mr. A. Hall,' refused to consider' tho proposition. , Judging by his f efforts at Hawera, it would bo better if Goodwin Park was kept to welter racing, as tho light boys sccm-quito nnablo to control.hun. Ho finished very well in both tho principal races, but his rider seemed to bo ex; haustcd beforo his mount gave out.

Though his attempt to buy Mendin for Mr.. Highdcn was' not successful, 0. Prico showed excellent judgment in making an offer for tho horse, who has won both tho races ho started in sinco. tho;offer was matlo.

Tanckahn. was shipped from Auckland to Sydney by tlio Victoria last Monday. Ho lias been purchased by a Melbourne sportsman. Referring to Crucinella's lato scratching for tho Hohart Cup, tlio "Australasian" remarks:—"So long as no rule of racing is trangrcssed backers must pay and try to look pleasant. In Cr'neinolln's "ca'so tlioy could not liavo suffered if they lind obeyed the law of tlio land, mid waited for tho totalisa- , tor."'

On tho Richmond truck, Melbourne, on January '28, Sal Tnsker mado nu effort to lower tho existing milp record, llrivcn by D. J. Price', the Now Zealand hiaro went in great style, nnd covered tho milo iu 2 minutes 18 seconds. Sho was 1 ininuto 7i seconds over tho first half-mile,' nnd 1 luiimto 10J seconds overthn last four furlongs. The time, 2 minutes 18 seconds, is u quarter of n second, bettor than tho Australian'record fur males, hold by Nelly B. -•- ■

Though tho New Kealandor, Sidney O'Neill, does not hold a jockeys lioenso in Melbourne,* lie is allowed to rido trackwork at Caulfield, and a Sydney paper's telegram from that track re#wtly. contained tho following notc:-r:

S. O'Neill was riding Blairgour slowwork, and tho'colt went more qontcntedly than usual. Tho Victorian jockey W. Andrews, ■who was injured when Mountain Chief fell in' tho lnvercsk Stakes at the Launcoston meeting, died in tho Launccston Hospital tho samo night. His brother, 1\ AndroWs, was killed riding in tho last Ascot' Thousand in November. His two other brothers; Claudo and Edwin, both rido in Victoria. Tho Victorian Amateur Turf Club's meeting commences nt Caullield next Saturday, when tho Oakloigh Plato will be run. Some of tho southern, papers credit Iranui with carrying only 7st. 41b. in tlio Wellington Cup. but tho Soult marc had Bst. 4!b'. on her back when sho registered such a sterling performance by running second to Miss Mischief. , A jumper that has recently _ been placed in work at Auckland is Erindalo (Spalpeen—Asthore), who is said to bo a very promising hurdler indeed. Old Irish, half-brother to Krindalo, Ims niado another of his Wonderful recoveries, and there is a chanco of his being placed in work again. Surely no horso ever recovered so many times from such serious breakdowns; 'That' Charles Dickens was no great admirer of tho turf is evident (says an exchange) from tho fact that, out of all his books, in only two is thcro any reference'mado to a racecourso, viz., "Tho Old Curiosity Shop," when Littlo Nell .went tho rounds of tho carriages with her basket of violets; and "Nicholas Nickloby,"- in which Hampstead races nnd its gambling booths aro described in tho great author's happiest vein. His son Charles, on tho contrary, is reported to havo had n decided leaning that way, and on tho'night heforo tho "sweep" was drawn on the Derby,of 1867 turned up at tho Arts Club, of which ho.was a membor,. and proclaimed his readiness to lay 100 to 1 against Horniit. Not being a very sporting establishment, however, his offer fortunately went begging.
