man named rode Bullawarra, the Australian champion, in both his successes last season, also in the Australian Steeplechase this season. He also rode Obi to victory in the V.R.C. Grand National Hurdles. Obi had won the race three years previously as a four-year-old, and is top weight for this year's race. M Cabe left yesterday to ride him at Flemington on nth July. M'C'abe has done pretty well during the time he has been in the Dominion. He scp'red on Sandy Paul in the Grafton Hurdles at' Ellerslie at Christmas time, also the New Year Hurdles on the same horse. At Takapuna he won a double on NorthEast. At Taranaki he scored orr Huia, and won on the same horse at Bulls. He was on Paoli when he scored his first and only win at Egmont. His success on Peary in the Great Northern Steeplechase brings his total for the season up to eight. La Reina (11.7) and Haskayne (11.2) the top weights in the Parliamentary Handicap, one mile and a-quarter, were both winners at Ellerslie. La Reina scored in the York Welter with 9st 121b. Haskayne scored in the Prince of Wales' Handicap, seven furlongs, with lOst loib, and the writer prefers ,him to the top weight. Leonta (11.0) won the M'Rao Memorial at Jigmont and acted as runnerup in the Connolly Handicap at Wanganui. Sir Kno'x (j.0.11) showed up in a favourable light on the second day of the Wellington Autumn Meeting, when ho beat a good field in the principal event. The runner-up Byron, now meets Sir Knox on 51b better terms. The Blenheim-owned Imarose (10.2) on his last appearance beat a, good Held in the 1 Rawkawa Cup at Otaki. - ' l>l >c C<»rnet (10.2) has been a consistent performer in the South Island this season, but would be better suited by a mile course. Pursefiller (9.10) and Portraiture (9.7) are in great form at present. The latter won the principal event on the second day. at the Napier Park carrying 9.9. The race presents a very open appearance. The Century Hurdles winner, Player, heads the .list in the Winter Hurdles, two miles, with 11.12. He now meets Sam Pan on 101b better terms than at the Park. Forest Prince (11.5) and Julian (10.6) are at present in Sydney. Te Onga (11.4), the Auckland double winner, has a stone more than in the Campbell Hurdles at Ellerslie.' The runner-up, Cloudy Dawn, now meets him on 161b better terms. Morning (11.2) was not seen out at Hastings, or the Park and will be all the better" for a race. Goodwin Park (11.0) ran. second in the Century Hurdles at Wanganui, and now meets Player on 51b better terms. The Auckland admirers of Admiral Soult, (10.3) say he is a good one. If so, he has an excellent chance in the race 'under review. He carried 9st 51b in the Campbell Hurdles and was in receipt of a stone and a pound from Cloildy Dawn, who acted as runner-up. Now tho latter has 201b the best of it. Among the light weights there are some useful performers such as Huia (9.9) and Golden Water (9.5). Kilmeny is reported to be galloping 'in great" style at Riccartoi, and the meeting of him with Player and Te Onga should be worth witnessing. The three performers named have not yet met. Day Ply (11.5) has been dropped a couple of pounds in 'the Te Aro Hack Handicap, six furlongs, for a defeat at the Park. Ciynelish (1112) has a reputation in the South. He is a tlirec-year-old by Soult from that smart mare Replete, and won this month at Wingatui. Try Fluke (10.12) acted as runner-up to Goldfire in the Fitzroy Welter, six furlongs, on the concluding day at EllersJie, when carrying list. Ngarua (10.10) won at Otaki and ran third to Day Fly at Hastings. Ngarua is now allowed 51b. Rigo Park (10.10) and Golden Glade (10.5) are two of the Sylvia Park tribe that have won this season. Amity (y.ll) and Sir Saracen (9.9) are others with recent form to recommend them. A correspondent writes expressing the j opinion that North East, bred at KaS Iwi, was a better performer than t Dante. The Euroclydon gelding may have been the more brilliant of 'the two, and perhaps equally as good a weightcarrier, but he certainly was not as good a stayer as the Sou-wester gelding. A 'mile and three-quarters was about the end of North East's tether. At the Auckland Spring Meeting, carrying 10.12, he won easily in 3min 20^ec. At the Takapuna Summer Meeting he carried 12.0, and ran a mile and three-quar-ters in 3min 19sec, then 13.0, aaid ran the same distance in 3mip 20sec. The latter_ was a first-class performance over the distance considering' the weight "carried. Dante was not a great fancy with the public, and was generally allowed to pay a "false price. A line as to his class can be got through Liberator. Ho beat Mr. Butler's old favourite twice at Wanganui and again at Napier Park, when in receipt of 111b. Click— the time to a hairbreadth on the dialj That's what you can depend upon with a chronograph from 35s at O Connor and Tydeman, The Jewellers, Palmerston North.— Advt. '
