King’s Jest acts well in soft going, and this will be much in his favour at tho winter meetings. Will be Ready: ) Perle do Leon is getting through useful tasks on the training track. Waterline: It is understood that the price paid for Waterline was in the neighbourhood of 3000 guineas, and he should not prove dear at those figures. Red Heather: Red Heather has- changed owners and is now being trained by W. J.. Gordon.

Kept Busy: Pangolin and Ranelagli have been kept busy on the tracks since the Dunedin winter meeting.

Radiate Is Well: Radiate has been doing well on the track since racing at the Dunedin winter meeting.

Chief Ruler Youngster: Ellerslie owner-trainer W. Kemp has made early application for the name of Supreme Ruler for a Chief Ruler —Miss. Ethel foal, and the selection of Supreme Ruler has been approved. This foal is the last of Miss Ethel’s progeny, and ranks as a halfbrother to that good filly, Gold Money, a double-winner at the winter meeting at Ellerslie.

South Canterbury J.C.:. Tho South Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting will open to-morrow, and will bo concluded on Saturday: The acceptances provide satisfactory fields, and the followiifg candidates may be prominent in their engagements: — To Kapo Hurdles; Pangolin and Lance r.

Smithfield: John Bradbury and First Raid. Otipua Steeplechase: Radiate and Radiac. Electric: Desert Song and Miss Bradbury. Tesch emaker: Black Duke and Camisader. Cladstone: French Fleet and Tunamoe. Rosewill: Jock o’ Hazeldean and I'uncliestown. Doncaster: Smithereens and Inevitable. TROTTING. FIXTURES. • June 14. —Ashburton T.C., Winter. Juno 21, 23.—Auckland T.C. Winter. June 28—Ashburton County R.C. Winter (two events). July s.—Oamaru J.C. Winter (two ; events). i Vendome: Vendome was never better than she Jis at. present, and J. J. Kennerley 'should soon placo her for another win Hn one of the shorter distance events. 1 I Reliable: Ambition is one of the most reliable trotters in commission, but a two-mile I journey is just, a bit beyond her at preIsent. ’I Has Speed: | Gemlight can bo ticked off for wins I in some of tho tightest classes fOr j trotters. He has a. rare turn of ljspeed, and only requires to carry it smoothly. I| I Likes Heavy Going: | Nelson Dillon acts well in heavy going, and so will probably find the condi-

tions at the Auckland meeting to his liking.

Will See Short Price: Olive Nelson will probably be showing the shortest price in the Stewards’ Handicap at Auckland on Saturday.

Been Costly: Peter Pirate has been a costly proposition in his more recent outings, and so may be showing good prices in his races at Auckland. He is not reliable at the barrier.

Warplane: Warplane can step a smart mile, and looks nicely placed on the front of the Cornwall Handicap at Auckland.

Not Improving: Direct Action is not improving, and he does not appeal as a prospective winner at tho Auckland meeting.

May Be Her Last: Rose Bingen may have her last race at the Auckland meeting. She is a useful trotter in heavy going, but she is now on a mark from ■ which she would have to show' a tight clip to win.

Disappointing: Since he was purchased by Mr. E. J. Parkes last season, Torpedo Huon has boon a big disappointment, and he is not likely to be supported in his races at the Auckland meeting.
