That Mutiny required a few m"ra winding up gallops when he ran nowhere in the ■Tawke's Bay titeeplechase, and was defeated in the Park fsteeplecase by Tiritea by c. short head, is shown, by the easy way tho son of Mute won the Grand National Steeplechase on Thursday. Most sports up this way thought Mutiny and Norton would light oat the finish, but our southern friends naturally clung faithfully to old Liberator, who was even better supported than Norton. The son of Ascot, however, found his match at the weights in Mutiny. The reeult of the raoe was hailed with great sitinfiictinn here, for Hawke's Bay horses filled first, f-eootid, and third olaces respectively Mr Doug la* h,s come iv for many oon'/r.'-ul-tions on again su.pH-iog the wi ncr of the premier ste. plecnase of the

co'ony. who takes7s soys. second money, md defeated by five lengths, r*n a much better horse than he did in Hawke's Buy. B>g as he ii. he oan get over the country all right, though many supposed that he was held safe by the top weight. Rosoius has brought as mnoh credit to his sire _■»

any of Gladiator's stook. Gladiator's breeding is by Monarque (son of The Baron), dam Miss Gladiator. Gladiator and his dam were imported to Viotoria in 1871 and subsequently purchased by Mr John Shield, who reahipped him to Wanganui. itoeciud' dam, Swindle, we all know, was br d by Mr A. M'Lean in 1879, got by the Mute or Patriaroh, her dam

Kgaro by imp. Ravensworth the Steeplechase, however, was the only race in which local horses had any show on the first day of the 0.J.0. Mr 0. A. Loughnau's Glengarry, flu _ with his victory at the H.B. Hunt club's meeting, carried some money from here, but was done by Rawai (Mon-ose) In this race, too, Laecar went down. I'he old son of Dilke knocked the timber heavily at the Park So was not greatly fancied for this event, then tha Bracelet, in which there were only five contestants, *ras reokoned the beet of good thing* for Mystical, 341 backing the fon of Wonderland, but a Burptise came from Jewel. As there is p- Jewel already running in the North Inland, the choice of

nume is confusing. Tho Bracelet winner is by Artillery out of Trinket. Again in the

Winter Handicap, Triton (St. Leger — Is aiad), a cast off of the Hon J. D Ormond, but now ia Maher's stable, Btarted seoond (229) favorite, but Mr Dennehey's horse could get no closer than second. Two Hawke's Bay horses were also beaten in the Hunters' Hurdles, Rrpo (Bonald) aud Boomerang (Nitator), The former started second favorite., while the other had sixty backers.

Three winners of tho Grand National Steeplechase have been riddin by Clark— i'reem .n, Ahua, ar>d Norton ; aud one each by Hickey (_.angahaone), Ellingham (Uhemiit) and Lyford (vaddy Longlegs). ": he highst weitrht ever curried to victory in this race was by Norton la»t year—l 2-8. The Gr*ni National Hurdle's raoe, run thia afternoon, instituted iv 1,: 9 0, hus been won by Ixion, Oouranto, Kulnine, and Liberator, who tcored in 1893 with 10-10

up, and last year oarrying 12-6. Mo=t extraordinary was tho death of Kahurangi. . trange to say, sometime ago, conversing with a friend, he remarked, 'Kahuran.i wid nevor win the Grand National, he'll drop down dead first." '•''any a thing said in je*t comes true. Kahu-ingi seemed to have a bright career over hurdles ; he was well enough bred— Somiufl—Tho Gem, by The Painter. He was not going well in his work previous to being taken bouth, and the rough and stormy journey io the Anglian was not likely to improve his condition. Bis deatli was a bit of a blow to backers as well as to Mr T. l-cott, for he was well tacked in doubles with almost every horse in the Steeplechase According to the Press, "He was extremely sore for a couple of days after being landed, and was given only the gentlest of exercise. 1 hough remaining quite dull he seemed to be pic _ng up, and the gallop he started on Tuesday was the first strong work he wa3 aefced to perform since his arrival. The horse faltered at the turn for home, and W. cHggi.s, who was riling, was about to pull him up when he started going again. He had gone but a

I short distance, however, when, throwing up his head, he neighed, eat on his hocks, and rolled ever, dying a/most immediately.

Higgms feeling him going alighted without sustaining any injury. There is hardly any doubt that the horse died from the ■ effects of some injury received on the trip 1 to Ly ttelton. Kahurangi vtslb highly valued :by his owner, and £300 would not have [ purchased him " r Mr Gollan a bad luok sticka to him.

Beaten in theU.H'. clteeplechase, in the Hunters' Hurdles, Bracelet, and Tally-ho Steeplechase, at Christohurch, he now has the illfortune to lose the services of his Maxim— Florence McCarthy filly Freda, which gave promise of turning out a very speedy one. She was engaged in the prino'pal olassio races in Australia in the spring. However, from Caulfield comes the news that "P Martin has Bonnie Sootiand and __c Possible looking well They are usunlly paired off for even-time gallops over ten or twelve furlongs, and Bessie McCarthy has —so bten moving along a bit, whilo steady pacing has been the portion of aternchaser, Captain Webb, and Culloden." A move was made, it is said, this weejk in New Zealand by the stable to back tjternohaeer for the New Zsaland Oup, anij about £2000 was taken about the son o. Notdenfeidc— . -Q—■aoli-0 at prices, varying from 100 to 6 to 100 to 8. Sterncha—r hs.s been given a chance iv the Cup at 8-6, and lees weight he will never get. If evor he had an opportunity to distinguish himself it ia in the N.Z. Oup cf 1895. Training operations at Ellorslie have livened up in interest during the week consequent on the fino weather we have been treated to (writes'" Hippona '' in the Auckland Sta>-). Pegasus is striding along as well as his bust friends could wibh. Harrison is giving Nelson's eon plenty of work, and all going well he promises to be cherry ripe by Now Zealand Oup diy. The two other Elk-raHo-trained cardidate_ for the big Rioearton race (M. Regal and Deads-or) are kept m.-ving, and both t-hnuld be pretty well forward for the first spring meeting of the Auckland facing Club. However, I may say Bllerslio trainers riiicule tho idea of either of the pair winning tho New Zealand Cup. Forma io bowling along in good style, ana I should say she will prove to be th 3 bast of our three-year-olds. She may be sent to Hawke's Bay for the Guineas, for which ' loodshot is said to bo a certain runner, providing he keeps as at present. Spurting ha two-year-olds is not the least important of trainers' duties just now, and as far as I can gather the Xllerslie-trained contingent are voted a pretty even lot. Armilia (by Castor—Neokrace) is considered to show the most apiitudo at galloping up to date, but several of the others are not many removes from her in that capaoity. Impulse ii going on all right in his preparation, aad I am informed he is much more forward than ho was at the corresponding month of last year. This should put admirers of last year's New Zealand Oup winner on good terms with themselves. Amongst the doubles taken over tho Melbourne and Caulfieid Cups are—£sooo to £5 Laundress and Delaware; £5000 to £5 Jiiridsforde and _ ons-a, £6000 to £5 J_iridsforde and Carnage, £5000 to £5 Atlas and Delaware, £50u0 to £5 Tullamore and Carnage, £5000 to £5 Bruin and Dreamland. £5000 to £t Aureus and aiiraria, £5000 to £5 Hopscotch and Atlas, £5000 to £5 Hopscotch and Delaware, £5000 to £5 Damper and ' reamland. After the second payment, those remaining in the following "races ht the 0.J.0. frnring meeting are—
