H.B. RE-HANDICAPS. t PALMERSTON N., April 22. Mr. H. Coyle lias declared the following re-handicaps for the Hawke’s Bay autumn meeting:—Longlands Hack Hurdilcs.—Blrkfui 10.7. Nursery Handicap.—Eligible 8.9. Porangahau Handicap. Chortle 10.3, Croesus 8.12, Tete-a-tete 8.0, Belasco 7.11. Hawke’s Bay Handicap.—Mummer 7.13. Autumn Handicap.—Mummer 9.7. Tramp, who won the Onkaparinga Steeplechase the other day, is 11 yearsold. He ran is the same race on the five previous years, being tenth, third, second, first, and third in that order. Tramp was breds in the Casterton district, Victoria. In all he has won £3362 in stakes. The South Australian racing authorities have caused something of a stir by announcing that horses can no longer run in the name of trainers unless they have an interest in the animals. No doubt a fresh batch of assumed names will he registered. Some owners, for business _ reasons, do not care about being publicly associated with racing. Half the proceeds of the Onkaparinga Easter meeting were given to the Belgian Fund. The Sydney proprietary clubs are reported to he contemplating similar action. C. Carmont, who has had 50 rides on the Randwick and suburban courses this season, returns to New Zealand on Friday. Ho will again he attached to Mr Hall’s stable at Wanganui. Carmont rode but one winner here. R. McDonnell, the well-known Ashbiirton owner and trainer of trotters, experienced a stroke of bad luck last week, for on Wednesday morning his brood mare Imperialism was found

dead in a paduock. This mare was best known as the dam of that brilliant pacer Emmeline, which was got by Rothschild, and to the same sire she produced Aiteen, a useful performer, and Emilius, which has tins season shown himself to be a three-year-old of more than ordinary promise. In the later years of her stud career Imperialism was somewhat unfortunate. This season she was m foal to Wildwood Junior, last season she slipped va foal to the same sire, and in the two previous seasons her foals by Rothschild were malformed. On the conclusion of the Hawke « Bay Joclcet Club’s meeting, The Pole is to be sent across to Sydney, where his ox-stable companion, Tim Doolan, is now being trained. The next Avondale Cup will carry with it a handsome trophy, which lias been presented to the club my Messrs Walker, Hall and Co. The trophy is a solid silver cup on an oak stand, and is one of the finest of its kind obtainable anywhere. On the night of the first day s racing at Tiinaro, Ngatimamu got tangled up in a wire fence and was unable to start in the cross-country event on Saturday. During the Wellington meeting a, North Island sportsman was anxious to secure Gowanbrae the full sister to Botanist and Briar Patch. A substantial sum was offered, but no business resulted. A New Zealand sportsman, wlio was j) resent at the Australian Jockey Club’s meeting, was greatly impressed with the starting witnessed at Randstarted at I o’clock. There were six sartecl at 1 o’clock. There were six races —30 starters in one race, 10 m another, 11 in another, 32 in anothei. At 20 minutes to 5 o’clock I was going home. In the Hurdles there were 10 runners. They left the enclosui eat ten minutes to f. The field were back in the enclosure at five minutes past 1. In the Doncaster there were 32 runners. They left the enclosure at 3 15; the winner was, back in the enclosure at 3.28. Our horses would—with a field of 32 —have been at the post for half an hour.” At the Winter Meeting of the I'orbury Park Trotting Club it is quite probable that Acdlaide Direct will endeavor to put up a new mile harness record. '• It is reported tha Scots Guard, who has been purchased by Air Colin McLaren, is to be taken across to Australia shortly in charge of A. Rhodes': also that F. Tutchen goes across to ride the half-brother to Red McGregor in steeplechase engagements. Mr Geo. Currie would hardly ho pleased with the prices lie got for his yearlings at the recent Sydney sales, for the quartet offered only realises 550 guineas. The lots disposed of were: Bf by King Rufus (imp.)— ■Holy rood (imp.), by Symington (PNolan), 190' guineas; hr f by King Rufus (imp.)—Keepsake, by St. Loger • (imp.) (J. E. O’Brien), 70 guineas; b f by King Rufus (imp.)—Moira-ma-Cliree, by Cyrinian (imp.)—P. Nolan, 245 guineas; b c by King Rufus (imp.) —Catchfly, by Cuirassier (G. Perry), 45 guineas. The three-year-old pacing colt Prince Akwood was sold by his Auckland owner to a patron of A. Hendricksen’s stable for a substantial figure. Since winning the mile and a-half race at .Addington in record time for a three-year-old, Prince Akwood has been a firm favorite for the New Brighton Trotting Club’s Derby, which is to be run next Saturday.
