m^? e r. ™uch-discussed Cheviot Trotting Uub holds its inaugural meeting to-day. Ihis is the club which has changed over from a raping club. The Dunedin Cup winner, Loganwood, has contested 103 races during his eight seasons of.racing. He has won 12 times and oeen 18 times second. After the second payment, ten wellbred tnree r year-olds remain in the Champion Stakes, to be decided at the Metropolitan T.C.s Easter Meeting next Saturday, including Great Peter, Shadowland, and Cornelian, who finished first second, and third in,the Great Northern Derby at Auckland in December, Richore winner of last season's New Zealand Sapling Stakes, and Haydock. _W. J. Tomkinson's recent importation Coneliff is training on the right way, and w likely to make his first appearance in the Dominion at the Otahuhu T.C.s Summer Meeting. Don Wild is being indulged in a course of swimming exercise at New Brighton, and hopes are entertained that he will come sound again. ■ F. Holmes is keeping Bonny Logan up to the collar at Sockburn in view of racing her at Addington this month. The Australian-bred Parkwood registered two good performances at the recent Forbury Park Meeting, where he finished second in the principal race each day. Since racing in the Dominion, the son of Whirhrood has not won a race, but he has been placed four times, while his winnings this season total 490 soys. G. Aitchison is highly pleased with his yearling' colt by Nelson Bingen from Bertha Bell, brother to Great Bingen and Peter Bingen, arid if looks count for anything, the youngster may prove as good as his illustrious relations.

The trotter Reverie has not yet-started in a race, but he is now being sent along fast in his work by his owner-trainer, and he is showing a lot of improvement. Beverie is a half-brother to Napland, by Peter Moko, and he has taken a long time to develop his speed.

The pacer Epigram continues to train on the right way since last being put into work. He showed exceptional promise when first raced, but splints caused his short retirement from training. Epigram has plenty of speed and is a rare good stayer,-who can be marked off as an early winner. , •. '
