JOTTINGS.

It is understood that Lady Lillian will be sent to the stud. A Christchurch writer understands that she will be mated with Benzoin. Winsome and Pretoria, two of Record Reign's half-sisters, have each foaled a colt to Soult. Several Australian writers think there is nothing to beat Nightfall in the New Zealand Cup. The Auckland-bred stallion Enfilade died recently in West Australia. Enfilade was got by Musket from Onyx. The following foal'ings have been announced this week: — Messrs. R. and R. Duder's Queen Anne, by St. Leger— Anna, colt to Soult ; Messrs. R. and R. Duder's Vera, by Regel— Muriel, filly to Cuirassier; Wellington Park Stud Company's St. Amy, by St. Leger— Hazel, filly to Menschikoff; Wellington Park Stud Company's Castorlace, by CastorNecklace, filly to Menschikoff; Wellington Park Stud Company's Field Rose, by Hotchkiss— Rose of Wellington, filly to Menschikoff; Cambria Park Stud Company's- Lady Agnes, by Neckersgat—Peradventure, filly to Eton; Cambria Park Stud Company's Sprite, by Dreadnought — Eflook, colb to Cyrenian} Cambria Park Stud Company's Rattler, by Nelson — Moonga, colt to Cyrenian ; Cambria Park Stud Company's Hestia, by Grandmaster—Wildfire, colt to Cyrenian. The reported sale of Canteen at 3000 guineas, together with the horse's success (winning over 6000sovs on the New Zealand turf), serves to give an illustration (says a writer in a Dunedin paper) of the ill-luck which has pursued Mr. Goodman in recent years. Mr. Goodman took Pitch and To&s to the A.R.C. meeting, which dovetailed with the yearling sale at which Canteen came under the hammer. And when the grey was knocked down to Mr. Moss it was a purchase made on Goodman's advice, and on the understanding that the trainer was to have a half share in the colt. The fortunes of war, however, went against Mr. Goodman during his northern trip, with the result that he had to relinquish the interest he had' in the son of Vivandiere. Regarding Wairiki, a Melbourne paper of a recent date states that the Auckland bred horse is now regularly doinsf quite enough exercise to fit him for his engagements. His front legs, though doubtful looking to the unacquainted eye, seem to cany Wairiki all right, »nd his trainer attaches no importance to the soreness he shows sometimes. Wairiki looks really well "in himself," and the man who has charge of him should be left to judge as to how he should be prepared. He has had the horse long enough to thoroughly understand him, for Wairiki has been in his present trainer's hands ever since he was a yearling, and he is now five years old.
