Owners and trainers are reminded that icntries for future classics close with all ’the main clubs of the Dominion to-day.

Top Gear knuckled over seven furlongs from home in the Dunedin Steeplechase, and- it is thought that it was at this point that he injured himself. He will require a long spell before he can race again.

The stock of Weathervane came into the limelight at Warwick Farm on Saturday, May 31. Observatory, a brown gelding out of Desmine, ran second in the First Division of the St. John’s Park Nursery Handicap. One writer . says: “Observatory showed pace, and will improve.”

Jen is schooling well over steeplechase fences at Hastings. This gelding’s .hurdle record would have been much better than it is had he been always capably ridden.

Admiral Drake has been eased up for a spell, and it is reported that when he again goes into training he will join up with the balance of Mr. F. Armstrong’s horses trained at Awapuni by Mrs. Macdonald.

Mountain Heath did not pull up too well at the conclusion of the Raukawa Cup at Otaki, and may not race again for three or four months. He has been an unlucky horse for his present connections. 1 An Australian exchange states that Mr. J. T. Lippiat, of Perth, is on his way to New Zealand on the look-out for likely material to race in Westralia. He had the New Zealand-bred Prince Paladin on lease, and won four races with him.

A Hawke’s Bay. report states that Wilmoreana and Perle de Leon are getting through good work under their owner, Mr. W. J. Craig, at Takapau. Their appearances and efforts suggest that they will be heard of to advantage in the very near future.

Mr. C. M. Emanuel’s good sprinter Royal Tea recently underwent an operation for respiratory troubles at the hands of Dr. W. C. Ring, and he is to be spelled for about a month before being taken in hand again. Unsoundness and other troubles have affected Royal Tea’s career since he was a three-year-old, otherwise he would have a much better record than he possesses.

Gala Day is due to have his first race over country at the South Canterbury meeting next week. It is a hack event, with a big field, in which Gala Day has the best hurdle credentials. He has bad a good deal of schooling over the Biccarton fences, and has shaped satisfactorily, though up to the present he has done all his education without a mate. Apache and Paris are schooling over hurdles at Invercargill. The “Southland Times” reports that Pans has benefited considerably by his - hurdling experience at the Dunedin winter meeting. At Hawera on Tuesday The Warden and Valprc were companions over five furlongs on the grass, which they accomplished in lmin. Gjsec., with The Warden slightly in front at the finish. The Warden had a race at Otaki and shaped very well considering it was his first start for several months. He is now in O. Cox’s stable. A good schooling bout was performed by Son o’ Mine (H. Cook) and Four Roods (H. Mills) over a round of the hurdles. Son o* Mine gave' rather the better display and he was afterward jumped over the brush double in front of the stand. Four Roods is in the hunters’ class and is by Acre. O. Cox is attending to his preparation. Charlatan, at one time trained at Riccarton, where he ran some creditable steeplechases, is now owned and trained at Wanstead by Mr. T. E. Whelch. He will be raced at Hastings and Napier Park, as will also Bon Ayran from the same stable. Maunga returned home to Hastings on Saturday, and the effects of whatever happened to him just prior to the Great Northern Steeples have now gone, and the Mountain Knight gelding appears as right as ever. L. D. Berry is still confined to his bed on account of his spill off Crown Emblem at Otaki, and it is very doubtful if he will be. fit to ride at Hastings or Napier Park, Punchestown, who scored so impressively from a good hack field in the Longbeach Handicap at Ashburton last month, has made good progress since in his work on the Ashburton track, but it is stated that he is unlikely to contest the Rosewill Handicap at South Canterbury next Thursday. Among the young horses trained at Riccarton at present are several owned by the Southland sportsman Mr. W. T. Hazlett, who has been a consistent patron of E. Scoullar. for some time. One of these novices is a two-year-old gelding by Tractor, being the first foal of Dazzling Light (sister to Razzle Dazzle and Affectation, and half-sister to Gold Light, and Beacon Light), by Kilbroney from Simper. The youngster has had a couple of short sprints, and he shapes

like being a useful galloper. It is probable he will have his first race at the Christchurch Hunt meeting in August.

Hastings Track Notes. At Hastings on Saturday morning (says the “Tribune”) a fair amount of fast work was got through, but only two were schooled. Jen (C. Poulgrain) gave a very pleasing display over a few of the steeplechase fences. This gelding now appears in better condition than ever before, and gives every promise of being most handy in minor steeples in the near future. Whakaue (E. Dunn) showed an improvement in hi- essay over the hurdles, more especially in his get-away after landing. V. Collelo has now got the King Mark gelding in rare condition, and it will not be on this score if he does not win a race at the approaching local meetings. Bullford struck out freely in a working gallop, while Bendower easily accounted for Timipouri, with Hillcullus some distance further back, over once round in lmin. 47isec. Bendower looks well. Tahoma was only jogging to finish with Wedding Bells, over six furlongs, which occupied lmin. 21sec. Queen’s Choice, alone on the plough, left five behind in 63sec. —a fair effort. Barracouta sprinted twice down the straight. Zippor pleased by the free manner in which he moved in a working gallop. This half-brother to the Great Northern Hurdles winner, Landbird, is beginning to fill out with jumping, and may yet come right. Lady Lucerne, although not galloped, caught the eye as a much improved mare since being trained here. King Manu, alone, strode over five furlongs in 65sec., finishing strongly, while Royal Court, on the course proper, was not ridden out to run half a mile in 54sec. This gelding can gallop, but, somehow or other, cannot always be relied upon to give of his best. After the local meetings he will be schooled. Keen was another that was not out to do time, and, with his owner-trainer iu the saddle, ran four in 53sec. Bernern, getting the best of the start, easily accounted for the two-year-old Ganpat over five on the course proper in 62£sec., the best gpllop of the morning. Without effort, Lady Spy defeated Psycho in a half-mile gallop in 511 sec. The former continues to please the track watchers, as well as bar owner-trainer, and she has already been earmarked as 'an early winner. Camera was not good enough for an Our King gelding over three run in 38sec. Courtship and Sumup did not impress by taking lmin. 26sec. for three-quarters of a mile, although the later appeared as though she could have done much better. Glasslough is developing into a nice cut of a horse, and on Saturday morning went much more easily in his working gallop than of late. He may. yet be taken over to Sydney with others of J. M. Cameron’s team. Lordlike took C7sec. for five, but was not asked to do his best. Golden Shadow was not galloped, but looks a picture of fitness. Repay has joined up with Wallace Young’s team. The King Soult mare looks all the better for her spell, and appears to be quite sound again, but perhaps when galloped the old trouble may reappear. , M. McCarten at Brisbane.

M. McCarten had a great day at Ascot (Brisbane) on June 3 (says the Sydney “Referee”), piloting the Brisbane Cup winner, Trainer, as well as the Sires’ Produce winner, Rhonite, who hails from Sydney.

The Brisbane Cup was won by the Chantermerle gelding Trainer, in the comparatively slow time of 3.27. Last spring Trainer finished third in the Queensland Cup (two miles) to Sandiet and Star God. The Sydney three-year-old Sir Ribble, who finished third, was seven lengths from the winner.

By taking the Sires’ Produce as well on Rhonite, McCarten brought his winning fees for the meeting to £175.

QUIET AT ELLERSLIE

Maori. Boy for Trentham

Dominion Special Service.

Auckland, June 12.

A few horses are being kept in work in view of the Waipa and Wellington meetings, but little work has been done since the Northern meeting. T. Davison is now at Ellerslie with Maori Boy and the maiden Day Form. Maori Boy may be a winner at Trentham in July if all goes well in the meantime. W. Patterson is another who has again taken up his quarters at Ellerslie. He is working Sub-Editor, Tuimint, _ and the rising two-year-old by Arausio from Waterlea.

Kairuri escaped injury when he crashed into the fence after running away riderless on the last day at Ellerslie, but it has been decided to give him two months’ spell. As he is only in his first season he should be all the better for it. Kairuri is regarded as a very promising hurdler. J. Chisholm has started on Llanore and the two-year-old Kairangapai. The latter looks a picture after his spell, and should be a good prospect for early spring racing. He is still a maiden. Hannibal is in steady work, but he has lightened up considerably after one race, and will require careful handling before being ready to show his best.

TILSON’S SUSPENSION

Appeal Dismissed

Dominion Special Service.

Christchurch, June 12.

The appeal of I. Tilson against the month’s suspension imposed on him by the Ashburton County Racing Club was dismissed by the Canterbury District Committee at its monthly meeting this week.

MENTONE ACCIDENTS Two Jockeys Badly Hurt By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. Melbourne, June 12. Six horses fell, two were killed, and two jockeys seriously injured in hurdle and steeplechase races at Mentone. At the first jump in the hurdles Moorna Lad crashed, breaking his neck. The skull of tho jockey, Townsend, was fractured. Homerus came down over Moorna Lad, and had to be destroyed. The rider. Winks, was injured in the wrists. In the steeplechase Tabralong fell nt the second fence and brought down Sir Eaton. Trounson, rider of Tabralong. had the ba of his skull fractured. MeInnes had an amazing escape, when his mount Quintain fell. The horse struck Mclnnes a terrible blow on the head, but his skull cap saved him. The condition of Townsend and Trounson is critical,

WORK AT RICCARTON

Promising Newcomers

nightmarch returns Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, June 12. Although a large number of horses were in evidence at Riccarton to-day, there was no outstanding fast. work. The short No. 7 grass track was in use, and after overnight rain and a following frost the going was slow.. Limerick and Ankiwai galloped half a mile, finishing together iu 51 3-osec., without being ridden out. Haze and Troilus were well clear of Roval Mint after covering six furlongs in lmin. 17 3-ssec.. and their stablemates, Rascal and Kentish Lady, occupied -lmin. Csec. for an easy five furlong task. Miss Bradbury and Charmeuse were abreast at the end of five furlongs, run in lmin. 4see. . . Dunraveu and Craigavon sprinted home three furlongs in 38 3-ssec. Pangolin and Ranelagh strode over six furlongs in lmin. 19 3-sscc. Giggleswick had Huntley well beaten at the end of five furlongs, occupying lmin. 4 l-ssec. Weather Raid was sent over seven furlongs, occupying lmin. 32 3-oscc. Heisler ran five furlongs in Imin. Gsec., and Garvary and Tuku registered similar time, the last three in 38 3-ssec. _ Toawai was going better than Battle Colours at the conclusion of a • sevenfurlong task, the last six taking lmin. 19 2-ssec. Hounslow and Divinette reeled off a similar gallop, finishing together. Tariff and Desert Song each covered half a mile in 52 l-ssec. . Quarterdeck beat Sweet Refrain ’over six furlongs in lmin. 18 2-ssec. . Lancer executed a strong working gallop over seven furlongs in lmin. 33sec.. Gay Jim was restricted to easy work. He was schooled over a round of the country on the previous day in company with Gala Day, both giving satisfactory dlS ßladon (W. Scobie) and Nyah (L. Evans) set off for a circuit of the steeplechase fences, but the latter fell at the second —the sod wall. Bladon continued on alone, and got round slowly but surely, but could not have gone much furth Marco Polo (I. Tilson) was also sent out for a round, but/his display was also disappointing. He jumped the first two fences all right, but ran off at the second of the double brush, and after crossing it at the next attempt repeated the mistake at the following obstacle, and was not further persevered with. This gelding knows how to jump country, and would do better in company. J B. Pearson has a promising galloper in his team in Distrait, a rising three-year-old filly by Diacquenod from Lovelorn, dam of the well-performed Prince Paladin. She commands plenty or speed, and looks like earning distinction when she enters the arena next season. The Clan, the latest addition to J. Beban’s team, was given some education in the schooling ring, and later sent over the pony hurdles. He showed his ability to jump, and will probably enter the ranks of hurdlers. The Clan, now six years old, has raced on the flat in the North Island, but is still in the maiden Chickwheat, who met with injuries at Greymouth at Enster, and was unable to race on the West Coast circuit, has rejoined J. W.' Jennings’s active team at Riccarton. The same mentor has a promising gelding in his charge by Tea Tray from Wee-plcte, by Markhope from Replete, who will race under the name of Lord Amphora. He is rising four years old, and was not put into training until a few months ago. More will be heard of him later. . Nightmarch, with H. Donovan in the saddle, was a visitor to the tracks today. He has done a good deal of road work, and lias not been allowed to collect much surplus condition, so that he should not require a great deal of time to get down again to racing order. Amorist has not been subject to any solid work since he returned from Dunedin, and will not be seen out at the South Canterbury fixture. The sale of Waterline to a Melbourne buyer was completed this week, and he is to,be shipped from the Bluff over the week-end.
