The winner, Rendevouz, carried 6.13, and ran the distance, in Imm 18^sec. Referring to a well-known performer who hailed from the Gisborne district and raced successfully on the flat-here, before he went to the other side, ''Touchstone" in the "Australasian writes: The easiest victory ever, scored m. the Australian Hurdle Race was-that achieved by Audacity in 1890, when, the event was simply called the Handicap Hurdle .Race. Audacity, a 1A ew Zealand-bred' horse, trafned by Joseph Gardner, was, leniently handicapped at 9.11, and followers of the stable backed him heavily, though Sam Floyd's Gulpha, ridden by' Robert Batty, started equal favourite. -.. Audacity was a good-looking chestnut stallion, and" aB he had the'reputation of being a shirker Gardner decided to give him no chance to quit. Gardner took Audacity to the front directly the flag fell, and.at the back of the course held'a lead of twenty lengths. Nothing ever got within "edoI cc" of him. John M'Combe is one'of the bestknown trainers in the South Island. He bred, trains, and owns Sunny Loch, the' ■winner 1 of -.the Winter Cup, and rode Jupiter, who, won the first race for the same stake 'n 189.9. He also won the New Zealand • Cup on Canteen, the Joe- ! £ cv. .Club- Handicap on Munjeet, Members Handicap on St. Denis, the Derby on Eurdclydon, the Welcome Stakes on Armlet and Nautiform, Canterbury' Cup -on-Eurqclydon, Great Easter on Casket, Great Autumn on,Boniform, Champagne Stakes on Counte Witte and Golden Slipper, Dunedin-Cup ,on Casket, Parable, and Jupiter, .and many others. Afton Loch was owned and bred by a .Catholic priest who is keenly fond of' a,;good horse.. She .was '■ leased for a term to 'J. M'Combe ;,.. but /broke down before tlie -period expired^ and he was generously allowed to breed to Sunny Lake, with the- result that we have Sunny Loch, who-is, by the way, one Opf'the most massive horses in training.

G.loaming, is somewhere about £3500 behind Eurythmic, but if he should land the. A.J.C. Spring Stakes and. Craven liot an easy task, by any means— he will-pass the 1 chestnut. The respective, values of those races last year were £1849.and £2214 to first/and they will not be less on this occasion. Eurythmic ran in 47 races for 31 firsts (inclusive 61 a dead-heat), 6 seconds, 4 thirds, and 6 times unplaced; while Gloaming's 52 starts -have "returned 45)'yr'ihs>; 6. seconds, and one unplaced j that'beihg when he fell /in..' the North J Island Challenge Stakes at Wellington. •, The winners when.

"Sentineif'. does not agree with those'who argue that the racing in , the , is better' conducted :: than in other 'places.: He states that 'at two recent meetings there was a much talked about case of roping. Both cases were the *,alk of the town! Still notb.-. •ing■ofF'juiaijr ras said in either case. We' are-'-ju t\c¥bssin s - -the ;threshold{of '.a new racing V">son, and such things are a.positive insult to the public's racing intelligence, and criticism of spor^ could be : not honest and fair to a nation's pastime if it did not make some reference ,to it. There is no desire, to harp on faults except- -in 'the case of painfully obvious faults, and if prompt and immediate action is-not taken all the great and glorious- surrdundihgß, the deeply. gilt frames which surround our great sport are.but whited sepulchres, and should l?e blown down like the walls of Jericho: with trumpet eloquence or the scratch, scratch, scratch' of 1 sport-loving penis. Think of the thousands and tens and tens;pf thousands that have been sunk in New. Zealand' in equipping racecourses. ,We"h'aye built-our sport on the - strong-'' 'estthr.ones that architecture can devise, and. then "allow weaklings to control it, and so have made it possible for a horse to be deliberately and obviously 'pulled right on the post, and yet not a word said. It is true such cases are rare, but it is a scandalous state of affairs' that it can be done w.ith apparent impumty.!--It is high time that it should ,jbe imDossible,, for .anybody to- being' /gr'a"de"pn;"A;'g'r^tl'^»''i<'li*V.\P'*ittme'.'withoiit incurring swift arid severs punishment.
