[Special to the ' Star.'] CHRiSTCHURCII, February 26. j j The Coronet gelding Salathiel is to be ; I put into work over the sticks again j shortly, but no definite arrangement as to' ! whose' stable he will go into has been J I made. : I Mr J. A. Holme* has given his three- ; | vear-old Rovelltsv. Oy NnutUovm—Hilarity, ' to the Defence Department. ; The well-known Australian horseman W. j H. M'Lachlan arrived in Auckland by the ] Niasrava on .Monday bust, accompanied by' his wife and two children. M'Lachlan ', left for Rot-orua the following day, and in- j tends spending three or four weeks in New ', Zealand. i Though Clyuclish did not earn any . money at the Duuedin Jockey Club's meet- J ing, he improved with his racing. The son ! of Soult—Replete had not done a great deal of work since completing a season at the stud, but he should be worth bearing in mind for a sprint race at one of the approaching meetings in the south. Cervulus has resumed work after a few months of idleness, and is now under the care of H. d. Coker. The .Mystification gelding had a big reputation when be ! came from the North Island, but he has j been a i,.vat disappointment since he was j purchased by Mr F. Nelligan. It is reported that some of the members of the South Canterbury Jockey Club who assisted in the recent attempt 'to secure a reduction of racing during the war are no longer connected .with the management of I the club's affairs.
