SPORTING NEWS

[I!Y TELEOIUFJi— SPECIAL TO THE STAE.] CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. An item of news that is likely to cause some .surprise is that Mr G. D. Greenwood has secured from Messrs \V. G. and G. L. Stead a half share in the two-year-old colt Vice Admiral, bv Multiform—Rattler. The brother to Nautiform is at present at Trent ham under R. J. Mason's charge, and it is reported that he is likely to represent the combined interests of Messrs Stead and Greenwood in the Manawatu Stakes next week. Favored as lie is by a maiden allowance while the best of his opponents will all be carrying penalties, he will he a tough proposition to tackle, for he showed at Riccarton that he knows how to gallop. Incoda. bv Stepniak—Amugera, who won the Oaks at Ricearton last November, has gone north to contest the St. [x>gcr at the Wellington Racing Club's meeting. . The Champagne Stakes winner Madcap, In- Clanranald Madowta, will sport Sir George Clifford's colors in the Manawatu Stakes next week, and with that end in view she was shipped to Wellington in-day. . . I McCombe. who has been training St'nvbov. Tawhaki and a Gold Reef filly on his'own account for some lime at Win--atui.'has sold the trio to Mr W. R. Cros-s-in lull tliev will still rcmahi iu Mc Combe's hands to he trained. The sale Uties some wav to strengthen the report that McCombe finds a h.-liner's life too I quiet, and that he intends to apply also , f„r the re-issue of a jockey's license. Though we have only got through with lhe New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's meeting we are reminded of the ap proaeh of another meeting, a< the New Rriphton nominations closed this week. Tliev are particularly numerous. Ine Ladies' Bracelet on the first day has attracted sixty-four and the corresponding race on the second day fifty-six nomina tions There seems to'he no limit to the number of horses available for trotting races in Canterbury. Strat.T'ein, who won the chief race on the second day of the Southland Racing I (Toll's meeting, won a number of stakes I in Sir Georixe Clifford's colors More being sold a month ago to a Southland owner. This week's success was the first she has eaie.ed since goinc South. ,liid"iiig bv his displays on Southland courses during the last week or two it looks as if Lnpiilifi! has regained some of hi.- form. He has been carrying big weights, hut it should not be forgotten on the other hand that he has not been opposed hy anything with much pretensions to class'in the sprinting line. Canterbnrv stables are not represented hv many horses at their Wellington meeting this week, and in carrying off three races on the first day they must bo given credit for a good record.
