Ntf Engaged: In the list of acceptances for tne Otago Hunt Club's meeting this afternoon Silk Arrow was included in the Vauxhall Handicap in error. Gaysome: The Arrowsmith mare Gaysome is once more amongst the active brigade at Riccarton. All going well, she should do more than pay her way this season. Okhota: Although Chhota was allowed to drop out of her engagements, at the Otago Hunt Club’s meeting, she is amongst the active members of F. Shaw’s team, although merely getting easy exercise. Two-Year-Old Parade:

A two-year-old parade will be held at Wingatui this afternoon immediately after the Wingatui Trotting Handicap has been decided. Aero Club’s Purchase:

As a result of the Te Kuiti Racing Club being wound up the course has been purchased by the Te Kuiti Aero Club. The grandstand was sold by auction at £135, and the posts and railings also went under the hammer.

Lord Beatty as Buyer: A buyer at .the Newmarket bloodstock sales last month was Admiral Lord Beatty, who gave 600 guineas for a yearling filly by Apron from Earn. Lord Beatty won the Imberhorne Handicap at Lingfield Park on July 14 with Austine, who was ridden by B. Carslake.

Sir Simper: The form that is being developed in Melbourne by Sir Simper suggests that the top-weights in the Caulfield Cup, or even the Melbourne, will have a particularly difficult task to give a couple of stone or more. When he won over a mile and a-quarter on August 18 Sir Simper went to the front and never left the result in doubt. The stable has not been “entertaining an angel unawpres” as the commissioner put over £lOOO on the colt.
