J. Mason's team to Ellerslie after all. Tho Ynldhurst trainer had only four liorses with him on Saturday, viz., Miss Mischief, Byron, Lady Georgia, and Canute. . Tho withdrawal of Peirene from tho Railway Handicap was on account of soreness, but tho stable will still have a useful horse to represent it in Byron. Though not a good Byron can nevertheless run a good six furlongs, and even if beaten on Boxing Day ho is likely to bo prominent in a race before the meeting closes. The two-year-olds are both useful, and will give strong battle to' the very best likely to be encountered at Ellerslie. G. Price, private trainer- to "Mr. Kighden," is failing his Ellerslie team north by the Auckland, express to-day. It willconsist of Erniengardc, who will throw down the gauntlet to tho Foal Stakes field: Neireme, a maiden two-year-old, engaged in the handicap, events fpr youngsters; and Nyland, fhe stablo hope for the Railway Handicap.

Hβ is pleased with his new purchase, and os the youngster is growing very fast. she. is .to. bo given plenty, of 'time, and will probablv bo turned out until tho autumn is well advanced. Acceptances for the Taratahi-Carterton meeting close on Wednesday. Ebonite is reported to bo making a good recovery from the. attack of strangles which recently laid him low. and it is confidently expected' that he will soon be racing again. F. Higgott's team for the AVairarapa meetings will consist of Emma, who has been suffering from cracked heels lately, Big Blast, who has made' marked improvement, and is expected to win during the trip, Indra, Undecided, and Merry Frank. The team will be railed to Opaki on Wednesday. S.. O'Neill, brother to the well-known hurdle horseman of that name, has been granted a jockey's license by the V.R.C. At the conclusion of the Woodville, meeting, Mr. E. J. AVatt disposed of the roan mare Parable. The daughter of Jlerriwee and Palaver will in future rate in tho Otago district. Tho well-known sire of jumpers Lethe (Cadogan—Siesta) died recently at his. owner's place at Akitio. . Tho old horse was in tiis twenty-fifth year, but up till a few days, before he died he had been quite well. .He left a number of good horses in his day, these including Letherin, Sir Lethe.
