He may do better when he. gets a firm track. He looks in good order, and there, is iio. doubt that, he is pretty smart when .at his best.

Under a comparatively recent regulation the Victoria, Racing Club empowered the , stipendiary stewards to take, any measures, considered necessary by them to. compel riders to use reasonably long istifrup. leathers. Tho regulation was the outcome of a. conference held with a view to. minimising accidents in racing, and invrecqnt weeks the stewards •have; r been Carefully, watch i ng. the methods ern - plovcd by itlie younger riders, At Sundown Park on .

When the field settled down in the Hawke’s Bay Guineas ■ Simba . was showing the ; way to Paratoo, Lady. Pam and Sporting Chance-. Along the back stretch. Rady Pain , and Sporting Chance moved lip ahead ol Simba anil Tripping, Coining into the. straight -the .'order was. Lady Pain, Full Drop, Pakitere, Tripping, Simba, Sporting Chalice and Paratoo. The leader carried on to win by two lengths. —Snuba came up fast to beat Paratoo.- for second place, bv four lengths. Pakitere was fourth.

“There aro I.QOC more races— not race meetings—held in New Zealand fhan there are in Great.. Britain',.’.Mr. F. Langstone (Labor. Wannarino).

Although lie has run one or two fair racejj on .soft tracks, Prince, of Orange may not show his best until conditions improve. He finished gamely enough at Avondale, but did not get going n,s smartly as. usual, no. doubt through being hampered by the ground.. }J.e,-is in* the condition just now .to derive ■ benefit from a race Or two, so that it- is reasonable to expect an early return to his trim form.

Pad*lon' was given- a great chance, of'winning a rare at Avondale, and his form was rather disappointing to numerous Waikato admirers. His showing the second day when he ran fourth, without, however. having chance with the first two horses, was a little better than on the first day. and providing his owner-trainer, Air. (!. Seifert, can.keep .him on 1 Jus logs, he' slidul'd die heard of hilly if wet weather characterises t-fic forthcoming spring meetings.

By leading the field for a term and then finishing a close third in.the big sprint at. Avoridalej'the tlinV-yrar-oldj-fiUy Imaniint. 'douioustrated that she w-'iil have to be seriously considered In short distance events ties

spring. She may not successfully .encompass a. longer.- joiiniey .lust yet, but hoi' early, speed will always make hi r dangerous over short distances.

Circulation opened- her winning acoouno for this season at the Otago Hunt Chib’s meeting, and also . Innseventh season on . the Tnrl. ■ It was her eighty-third race; and. despite tlm fact that she lias rim on an average nearly fourteen races each season since she was a two-year-old. her legs are as clean to'day ms- when she first- started racing. Circulation came in a season when there were .a number of good ,two-year-olds, but she .won the D.J.C. Champagne Stakes that season. In a number of her races she' has experienced very bad duck. .Slie -ran second to B.el Sail in tim Invercargill Cup. The latter only gained a nose verdict after boring Circulation out more than hallway across the course, and in several other good races -she has just been beaten by very . narrow margins. ’Though she lias only won ten races, she has finished second in nineteen and third in seventeen others, do have finished in a place in. 10 out of 83 Harts shows how honest she is. and, judging from the tonu she shoved .at W’iiigutui over a 'mile last month, she looks to have more goou performances up her sleeve. Circulation is easily.one of the best el Paper Money's-; progeny.

■ In the l iving Handicap at llasliiys, on settling down Cuticle was in front- of Admiral Drake. Hunting Day', Huikai. Royal Parade. Maui and Chopin. The positions were the same entering the straight. In the run; home- Hunting Day forged ahead to win from Admiral Drake hv a nook. Royal Parade ran into tiivrd place, half a length away, lluikai was fourth;

L “To' debar Roebuck for all time from holding any ofliee in «• Rugby organisation i£ merely an hysterical gesture”, said an extract in a letter from the Taranaki Rugby Union received at this evening’s meeting of the N.Z. Rugby Union, dealing with the latter bodv’s decision to disqualify lor life;Roebuck,;who struck a referee jin a- match played in. Taranaki during the past .season. Tho Taranaki. Union considered that the New Zealand Union’s decision was too harsh and pointed out that its own decision of disqualification for a period of live years had not been made hurriedly_ and also that it li’ad been made with a- better knowledge of tho facts. The punishment. of. ordering Roebuck pit all grounds for life, Life Taranaki Union considered to be no punishment at all, because in Taranaki the province at any rate- yiearty all. the grounds were public reserves. There was a. little 'discussion on tho letter and the union decided to adhere to- its previous decision.
