Kemball is going to send a team to Australia after the Welline'ton Cup Meeting, all goimr well in the meantime Tho exact composition of ■the. team is not yet decided on but it will probably number ten. Hyine.sfra, Nana, and Snub will, of course be the stars of the team. Hymestra will prnbaldv bo racpd in the Futurity Stakes (for which so far be has not. earned a penaltv). the Oakleitth Plate, the Newmarket Handican ami perhaps the Donrastor Handican. Snub, if reasonably treated; woiild havn,a fair chance in the Australian Cud and the Sydue.v Cup, also ■tho V.R.C King's Plate, and (he A J.C. Plate. There are several hurdle. races and ■dcnlechascs to empire the attention of Gladful. Mr- Kemball has Sasnnof's half-brother Vasilknv and Missgold engaged in tho V.R.C. Ascot Vale Stakes. For the rest of the bis team there is nleiitv of'han/Jicap.races (long and short) for them lo comneto in. The. Dauiievirke Rno.iwr Club lost IS members in the recent epidemic, and a vote of sympathy to the bereaved was, on the motion of Mr. T. H. G. Lloyd (president), passed by the committee at its last meeting- ' F. Tillev has at present a big (earn in work for the coininc holiday meetings. It includes Client, Acre, Mautoa Ivanova, Oratress.

Lowry's team. „,-,,., Secretary W. A. Lyon, of the \\oodville Jockey Club, has resumed his office, after a spell in camp- His assistant Mr A. Neill has returned to Dunedin. Messrs. W.

Ellis is lo have the mount on Punka at Wingatui. So far it is not known whelhcr she will contest tho Otago,-' Handicap or the Federal HandiThe following is from tho Auckland "Herald":—"The best gallop of the morning (Tuesday) was registered by Ga■ziquo and Waiuta, who v.-orked after the'breakfast hour from the six furlong post liome. Some reliable time-keepers at the finishing point made the pair men- I tinned register a shade over lmin. lßsce. Hyllus was in the rear. Gazinne was on the outside and carried more than his full Raihvav Handicap weight. Ho has now registered the best gallop on threo ■different days, and there is good Tcason for making him a more pronounced favourite than anything else engaged in the sprint handicap that has been tested here up to the present. Gaziciue has always been referred to as a bad doer away from home on short trips, but. he has n»»n at. Ellerslie for more than two months, and apnears lo have settled down thoroiiehly. and is said to be galloping right up to his best Gisbnrne trials." Killard's withdrawal from the Auckland Cup is stated to be due lo Hie. inability to secure a suitable lightweight fo" the son of Kilbrnney.
