CHANGE OF FORTUNE

MR. KEMBALL'S SUCCESSES

WHANGAHEI AND VICTORIA

(Special from "Early Bird.")

AUCKLAND, November 1.3.

Popular successes at the Whangaiei .Meeting last week -were the three scoied by hoises cuiyirig the well known hvcry of Mi. W. R. Kemball. Cape Fair won a double and Quietly Yon- the first day's spnnt, besides which. Camilla Horn and Quietly notched seconds. v The record might ha\ o been cveu better had notk Camilla, Horn been one of the suffereis in trouble at the start en Saturday.

Mi. KembeU was not at "Whuugaiei to see his .horsesj.enjoy their .good nm, for he was. at Flemington doing the Y,R.C. caim\dl, wheie last Satuiddy he had the pleasuie ot seeing his. cheap jeailnig pwthase Queen Helen win a valuable stake. It v.as unfortunate for Ml. Kemball that he should have sold Cavalcade prior to that colt's winning, but doubtless the pi ice would be fa^urable. Jt was not surprising that tiainer W. Hawthorne should, land his thiee wmncis for Mr. Kemball, for all of his team had been working well, though these were the fust win'! they had obtained smce ailiving at Avondale a month ago. The team will piobably leturn to Trentham alter competing at the Waikato Meeting on Satuiday and Monday. The expeiiment made by Mr. Kemball has been a financial success, for the £300 in stakes won to date would bo a bit moie than enough to pay the cost ot the weeks' sojourn in the Auckland province. Capo Fair was the sheet anchor with £135, but Quietly also earned £85, Wahioong.l AM, Palm Queen £20, and Camilla Horn £10. The Whangaiei tup itsell would be .i most piolitable one, ior the tiam tiantpoit vould cost nothing, the Wliangaioi Racing Club always pajing for the special hoise tiain from Auckland to Whangaici and back. Of the £300 in stake money earned by the fuo hoisei no less than £230 was gatheied in at Whangarei. ALLOY'S USEFUL FORM. Alloy won both his races on the opening day at Whangarei, but the best he could do on the second day was to share thud place: It was a tragedy, however, to tee him beaten, for he was veiy unlucky in the imining. He had just begun to make "one of his well-known forward mo^es when he was knocked back and became unbalanced, and he was a bad last at the home turn. Fiom this point he finished like a tiain? and in a hectic finish he got ( up for third, two hoads away lespeciively fiom Cape Fair and Maori BoyJ , , There is no doubt'that Alloy is at the top of his form at' picsent, and he will win again soon m his class. Had he been more \igorously.ndden in the big race the second day at EUeislio he might have beaten Baroscope and jLord Vol. It will be interesting <to see how he faies in the M'aikato Cup on Sa'tuiday, in which, with his rchandicap 1o 7.13, he has now to meet BuoE-cope at 31b woi-e tcims than at lilleishe last Moudaj week. . After ■winning a cry easily the hist day Snow Punce, with 11.0 up, ga\e his thiee opponents foity jards' stait a mile horn humc in the Poioti Hack Huidles on the second day .it Whangaici, and then caught them befoie coming to the last fence ln ; the List lace ot the meeting he finished a close second on the flatr He i* a 'jumper who will have to b^. reckoned with in future. His next outidgs will probably be o\cl- the sticks at Elleralie at Christmas. WELL-BRED GAY ROSE. One of the most promising novices seen oul at Whangarei last week ■> was Gay Rdse. She never had much.chance to show up the fiist day, and as she was almost last three furlongs from home' on the second day it seemed that 6he was again going to disappoint her supporters. From the home turn, however, ghe came very fast and she won going right away from the field at the post. Under the.circumstances it was a really attractive performance. She is only three years old now, being by Gay Shield from Autumn Rose, a daughter of Soult, and she is thus a half-sister to those good northern' performers, Lucy Rose and Master O'Rorke. Her next outing will probably bo in the hack six at Te Rapa on Saturday. « Quietly and Hushing were the two best sprinters seen out at Whaugarei. The former won on the' opening" day, and .was then beaten by Hushing on the second day. The latter had beca beaten by Cape Fair narrowly the first day, and as the latter scored in the big event just previously the form pointer was there for those who wanted it. Hushing went well, ioQllug it with speed merchants like British Columbia and. Hampton Park, and she went on with it'when the weight stopped them. , 'The outstanding hack sprinter sseeh out at Whangarei ,\\<is Alpiuus, who later in the fccason. may be seen winning open sprints'. He wpn iv a common canter at his firsfc^appearanee, this being his^inilial success/ and, on the second day, under 9.2 and' badly drawn, he had slowly forged his way to the,front to take charge Iluec furlongs from home, and he went ou to win nicely. By ' Mountain King ' from | Ob(iisance,-he is-not youngj.beingwx'years' now, but he is young in the racing'sensej for he had his first -outing only last June.'
