It is claimed, no doubt rightly, that the national sport of New Zealand is horse ‘ racing. It is therefore interesting to note the amount of money ,betted thonghout the Dominion on Boxing Day on the several meetings, ttotli galloping _ and trotting, gnd when the totals are added together the. volume, of money reaches the substantial sum ol .0299, .775 10s. There was a- sensational smash in the last race, the St. Ilelier’s Handicap, on the opening . day of the Auckland trots. Early in the race Lord Nepean and Anselm collided and were pulled up, hut worse was to follow.' As the held raced past the stewards’ stand, Amaris, who was in front, tangled and stumbled and immediately Black Lila crashed in on him Then Lady Dunmove. Nelson Tasker, Concliff and All Bell all crashed and there was a heap of sulkies, horses and drivers. Only First Carbine and Huo Coronado’ were left in the race and First Carbine won, while Lord Nepean, who had been pulled up early, strolled around to got third money. A most unlucky horse in both lus .starts at Waipukurau was Lady Carroll's Nahi (Cynic—Tatau Ta-tan). In the maiden lie would have about won but for the breaking ol a stirrup leather, while in the mile lie did not have too good a passage. The three—year-old should he worth keeping in mind. Air J. R. McKenzie's American trotting stallion, Tramperisp, won three races at the South Wairarapa Trotting Club’s meeting. Now that ho has settled down it is (giitc likely that he will win in more important company before the season closes. Zelln. who won two races at the Couth Wairarapa Trotting Club s meeting, is owned by Air T. LondHetter, of Pet-one. Slip is a' .four-year-old chestnut 'mare by. liuia Dilion from Fair Puritan, and was bred by the late B. Shad holt-. Zella is nov.v trained by L. Walsh, who a year ago trained Lady Fan at Addington. A notice seen at one of the gates at AVtvipukurau—“Racehorses only.” How many of the runners were admitted under false pretences? Afany jockeys’ caps, by the falling tendency of the peaks, are dangerous and this is a matter that the powers that he should take note. - In the Amalgamation Handicap at Waipukurau, Oalithe’s jockey could not see where he was going. \\ ith the boys perched along horses’ nocks like monkeys and a !>ig cap peak over their eyes it is no wonder accidents are occurring often.
