He was recently “decorated’ - -by the : Belgian • Government, which would seem to indicate that they think ‘something of their horsemen over there. Heasop, it-' is stated, declares that lie -will beat. Fred Archer’s record of 30C0 wins. Roval Visitor made, bis appearance over hurdles at the Avondale meeting and for a beginner fie showed great promise. He ran a very good race on the first day and finished third m the Grey Lynn Hurdles, two mi) 03 - at his next essay. Royal \ isitor is now one of Pi*.-Brady’s team at .To ,Rapa, and die looks as though it will ■not be long before be is on the winning ‘list-. He is engaged at the Auckland spring meeting, commencing to-morrow. - ■ • ; : : : As a two-year-old last season lvarapoti only started on a. couple of occasions, winning the Riinknrn Stakes (five -furlongs) at the Waikato spring meeting. He was raced in the Sylvia Park Handicap, seven furlongs, a.t the Pakurangn meeting, and his ne.xt outing was in the A fount Albert Handicap at Avondale. He was nlwa.vs prominent and finished n good ■third. Karapoti’s turn -is not far ‘’elf. Desert Seng confirmed his first dav’s form by winning the President’s Handicap at Geraldine ensily from a-useful field—the best he-has met so far. He had the luck to be on the move when the barrier vao released, arid ahr can of • ; three lengths which lie secured was* a - great help There is no doubt-, however, that Desert Song is a much improved horse, and lie will do better yetRascal ran a solid race to.finish second. though his stable . mate Ups catching him at the finish: lllese two arc very well. Rascal has three seconds on end and lie will win soon. Black Duke had e-very chance, but was. beaten when the- straight was reached. Malmsey was apparently not ready for another, hard .ebon.-, and the only horse she beat was tho first day’s winner. Black Mint, who ran one of his bad races.

Pangolin settled all liis critics by his two conclusive successes at ISeraldine. He hud been suffering oil' and on through the winter from kidney trouble, which, however, has been overcome with the advent ol warmer weather, and he was in better order to complete his tasks last week than lor some months past. It has to he admitted that Pangolin is a lnghclass hurdler when properly well, and his owner: has prospects of enjoying a more successful innings with him this season. He was not nominated for the Dunedin meeting, but w.n probably appear at the coming Trentlmin fixture.

Awamutu showed up in the Plying Handicap on the first day of the Avondale meeting till well into tho straight,' where he faded out. tin the. second day lie was a starter in the Mount Albert Handicap, a hack event, run over six furlongs, and won with the greatest of ease; Awamutu has- shown up in ail his races this season, and it would not he surprising, to see liim win in much better company before long. He now stands well at the barrier and jumps away smartly, while there vs no doubt that he has a great turn of speed.

Ceremony has got the Wanganui touts puzzled. Prior to the Wanganui spring meeting he was going faster than anything 'on t'he tracks, and many good judges would not- have him. beaten in the Flying. However, after getting out well he stooped IK a pricked balloon and finished well back. The sou of Absurd is again galloping in great style, and if tie wins at Ellerslie there will be many sad punters up in tlm “river city. —Wanganui “Herald.’’

In the course of its notes on the Geraldine meeting the Christchurch “Sup” says: “High Court, looked hi groat 1 order, but somehow did not strike the popular fancy. He should 'impvov'e rapidly.” •« /

An unfortunate accident occurred in the concluding event at Geraldine on the opening day. Shortly alter the start Rosy Morn, owned by Mr. ,T. M. ’Samson, endeavored to got, a position between Desert Song and Royal Game, raid, in the scuttle, was brought down. A shoulder was broken, which necessitated her destruction. Tho rider, W. Sizemore, was pinned underneath the filly and when extricated was found to have suffered a broken collarbone and an'injured shoulder. Ho was later sent to hospital for treatment and observation. This was Sizemore’s second rule only in a race, liis first mount being on Colonel Qucx in the Jtaukapuka Handicap. He is attached to It. C. Keeper’s stable, and, not ill keeping with liis name, turns the scale at a littleover four stone and is nrobably the. smallest apprentice in New Zealand to be in possession of n permit to ride at present.

A 1 .Tolson drew attention to Ilia future prospects by the determined manner in which he silenced the opposition in the second division of the Phapi Hack Handicap at Geraldine. Ho was produced mi three occasions fast season without gaining a place. A 1 Jo]son. b.v Limond from -Motley, was bought by his present owner, Hr. G. J. Barton, at the Trent ham yearling sales for AGO guineas. and formed one of the draft which 'included the record -priced Limond—Wntenvin.es eolt. Zctos and others m Praise. Courtesy and Veilmond.' Hie time of being offered, Motley’s son carried a blemisli, otherwise ho would have demanded a much higher figure at the Trentham sale. A sister to A 1 Jolson was secured on belialf of a. New South Wales' owner for the same price.

Huntingdon gave H. Gray nil easy win in the Flnxmere Handicap at Hastings on Saturday, for after hopping out verv muekly from No. 2 position he led the whole way and was never in danger of lieing caught. Grown .Sugar, Portray Jenny Giver. Mule Britannia, and Henry of Navarre wore ea.rlr behind Huntingdon, hut Portray lost Ids position very suddenly at the half-mile, and did not afterwards get within striking distance. Tnlioma- improved on the I,end, niid after being -fifth horse into the straight lodged the most determined challenge and closed to within a length of the pacemaker before the finish. ’Flute came last from the ruck and took third money lviilf a length further back, Lordlike also putting in n ; good run for the barren honor. Alter lum wore Laconic. Jenny Diver, Chnrmalino and Rule Britannia, The winner owed his success considerably to the alacrity with which he led the barrier, but he probably "'as ’iot fnllv extended at the finish. Lahoma' Flute. Lordlike, and Laconic were all doing it well over the concluding stages, and look likely sorts for near engagements, brown Sugar and Henrv of Navarre did not ru on in the straight, hut they should benefit bv the race. Huntingdon was much better than twice ns well supported as Portray, with Jenny Dm- the only other at all sought.

Lady Pam looked the •” t every part of the Hawke s Lay Guineas;‘and none of those who finished behind her are ever nkely to he found beating her at set weights. She is particularly well bred, being » moud from Pruicess Pat. b> black from tlie Martian mare M»rEan r ineess. the dam of Laughing Prince Last year she won four ol In- eight races for £9OO »' stakes, but i- likely to do consKleraby fetter this season.

Nea Lap pulled hack just after the start, and was always at tlirt tail of the field. Her chief claim to fame may never "be more than that she is Plmr Lap s Her rider, H. Young, was fined i .for iosing his temper and thrashing her when dismounted pnor to tne race. Lady Pam carried more than twice the support that was od to Paratoo. Love bong, 1 alutero and Simba. wore the only others receive much attention.
