complaint. Mr. J'Anson waa severely reprimanded for the carelessness he had shown in framing the handicap. A sporting paper has hit upon a competition that brings out a fair amount of skill, and helps the gaiety of nations m these days when the .elusive winner takes so much finding. It is based on the book published in England, and called "Form in a nutshell." Th-2re is a remark in brackets ' against the hoTses named Trhich signifies how they ran, or any particular incident of tue race which should be memorised. Each competitor selects a list of horses from Ruff's Guide, and appends his remaTks, and some are decidedly amusing. Here are a few : — Feather Bed (tucked j jip). Collar (gone to the stud), Casabianca. j (the only one that stayed), Hackensehmldt (threw his jockey), Queen of Spain (fulfilled expectations), Penniless I (badly off), FoTest King (roarer), Catai pult (a. ston6 in hand), Mildew 11. (too lons on the shelf), Summer 'came too late), Love Song (watch for Nursery), True Love (ran smoothly). In the Cap Steeple (about two miles) run at Flemington next Tuesday Pha*tontis heads the list with 12.11, and Swimmer has 11.1. Tho .latter ran a splendid race against Haydn at Randwick, and may Teward the popular "Jimmy"' Beckett for his pcisevcrance. Carterton races will bo held next Saturday and Monday, 9th and 11th November, Three or four horses appear to be given fair winning prospects, but I defer forecasting until the acceptances are in. Punters should remember that Riccarton, with its grand, easy turns, long ttretch down the back, and severe straight, is the best course in New Zealand for the "high-geared" horses, that is, the powerful, sweeping, long-striders of the Gold Crest type. Once the longsirider can get on terms with the quicker, shorter striding animal, the latter nearly always changes his legs, and in tbe endeavour to keep stride for stride with hiA opponent, helps to beat himself. The great Victorian Racing Club spring meeting begins to-day, when tho Derby and the Melbourne Stakes, weight-for-age, are to be decided. Then on Tuesday the Cup will attract its thousands. Tho flat at Flemington is free, and consequently draw? an ollapodrida of humanity. The "bookies" vbo ply their trade in this heterogeneous assemblage will take wagers down to the humble sixptncb. Oi' ihc othei hand, if you wish to put a "pony" on your fancy, you will be speedily accommodated. Surrounded by a vast crowd, and with. six clerks to aid him, Barney Allen cries the odds. Since being warn-«d-off Barney Allen can only field on tho fiat, where he does an enormous business, and it is stated on good authority that fvom this source alone, he clears some £8000 a year. Not a bad income from six meetings Randwick, with its method of timing horses from a flying start, holds nearly all the records, and recently another record -was slaughtered. Lisnarte, a mare by imported Beauchamp, is credited with running six furlongs in lmin 12£ sec, which clips a second off Lord Soult's time, made at Feilding last spring. That brilliant mare Solution was to be sold yesterday, and for stud purposes she is likely to fetch a high figure. Although not quite, a Wakeful, she proved herself at the top of the weight-for-age class by her victories in such races as the Craven, Caulfield, and Melbourne Stakes. The annual sale of the Elder^|lie yearlings takes plate next ThuVsday at Cbristchurch. Amongst the youngsters are brothers to Munjeet, ArmleK King Log, Barina, and Sea King ; sisters to Berisina, Indian Queen, Ilarita ; r^ilfsisters to Ailsa and Seotty. ' The first stock of St. Ambrose will also be submitted, and as tha grand-looking sire appears to have the prepotency which distinguishes the St. Simon line, his stock should be largely sought after.
