Judging by the acceptances, riders should be at a premium at Stratford on New dear’s Day, for there are more racing fixtures on that day than on Boxing Day. Tioga is having a short spell and will be raced next at the Wellington summer meeting. Mr P. E. Wall's bad luck continues for I)i s two year old LimoniLp injured himself a dew days ago and had to forego his Waipukuruu engagements.

Merle is now being trained by J. ' Bro\\’u at Huwera., . ► __ Only fair nominations have been received io r the Thames meeting to bo held on the Takapuua course early i u the New Year. It-is really surprising that owners risk horses at all on this Lack. W inkie’s Best has gone lame, Tind is;to be tired and given a’ good spell, This trouble is unfortunate corning right on the eve 'of the holiday meetings. Royal Despatch and Coupon wore both nominated for the Waikouaiti -meeting, but it is said that neither will make the trip. Scrip and Ayrovski are a, pair fo make their appearance on the tracks at Iticcarton. The latter has every appearancc of being a fair horse if in capable professional hands. At present he is trained by his owner, an enthusiastic unniLeur. Springtime, a two year old fillv by Boniform from Mistime, trained by W. Hobbs at Iticcarton!, has been sold to a North Islander. j A feature of the holiday racing is the number of horses trained in Tlie Auckland district that are competing at New Plymouth, Stratford, Awapuni, Feildiug and Tauhercnikau, BIG FORTUNES FOR SMALL IDEAS. Yet without protection and expert advice your idea might bo copied a thousand times by others and so lose its. value. We offer you advice and protection. Don’t, miss your opportunity by delaying.

. When a well known Sydney racing nuin paid a visit'to Stanley Wootton at Epsom (England)’ a couple of montlis agao, that .successful.- trainer had the huge team 'of 92 horses in actual work. , So successful has AVootton been in selling races that a cnimoil question heard when oho of those events is on an English programme, ‘‘What’s Wootton. got in ?” Stanley trained 50 winners this scasn, hut as In's father remarked with a chuckle tlic other day, “He hasn’t caught the old maji yet.” Mr Wootton. was referring to the fact that he trained GG winners one season in England and G 1 auolier.
