nothing iv the nature of a serious speed trial, but all moved Very attractively. Two of'them five by British .Empire, one being a well-grown hulf-brother to Shatter, and the other from Zaragoza. Tlie third member of the party is the, colt by Lord Warden from 'Monoxide. Rational II is to be tried out as a hurdler, and it is probable that his education, will be gone ou with when, he returns home from the 'Dunedin . Meeting, where he is to race on the flat next week. H. Nurse sent him over a couple of hurdles iv his home paddock, and the honae showed exceptional aptitude i'br jumping. Special interest at Caulfield was taken last Tuesday week in the tasks allotted to candidates for the King's pup. The outstanding gallop was the mile on tho .steeplechase grass by Red Sun (G. Carter) and Flail (J. Brace). They went off at a fast pace, running the first five in Imin ssec and seven in lmin 31% see. They then began to ease off and took lmin 46sec to complete their task. The Australian Sun mare Mithra, formerly trained at Takanini by J. T. Jamieson, was killed by a fall in a race at the Goodwood (Perth) Meeting on May 13. Tho rider of the horse which first fell and brought down Mithra aud three others died on the way to hospital. A coincidence was that this jockey was apprenticed to.the owner-trainer of Mithra. Tiffin (Tetratema—Dawn-wind), England's most brilliant two-year-old of 1928, was sent to the stud in 1030 and died after throwing her first foal to Blandford. The youngster, now known as Merenda, has inherited her dam's galloping ability. Making her first public appearance in the Fitzwilliam Stakes, of £=)20, live furlongs, nt Kewmarket, on April 4, she started favourite in a field of nineteen, ami won by a head. English M-itics have only one fault to find with her, and it is that she is small.
