Silver Beam, who made her first appearance at the Napier Park meet _ ing on Saturday, when she contested the Prince of Wales Stakes, has great breeding to recommend her, for she comes from the same line as that great mare Wa.rstep. Silver Dream is 'by Silverado l from Stardunce, a, sister to Wars,top and Starland, both Auckland Cup .winners, and a. half-sister to Limelight, who won both the Metropolitan and Great Aujtimm Handicaps at R.iecalntou, Starinist, who annexed tho New Zealand Oaks, Pnperclutse and Starshooter. Silver Beam should he heard of later oil. j • > Bringing a horse all the way from New Zealand to Sydney is a costly business (says an Australian writer). Afore than 100 horses are here from New Zealand, but so far hardly more than a dozen have paid their way. Several noted performers have been under a cloud at different times, and after almost a month of trouble it lias fieen decided that Inflation shall not race here again this year. He is one of the best gallopers among tlie visitors from across the Tasman. A cracked heel caused him to forego important engagements in Sydney. It was hoped that he would be patched up for Melbourne, but accommodation was booked for him to return home on October 14. After Inflation had contracted his split heel some poison got into the leg. with the result that he had had ,to he blistered. * * * Cluing, who figures in two events on the first day of the Avondale meeting, is a six-year-old gelding by Day Comet from Lady Frisco, and is a half-brother to Paddon. This novice has only raced once, running unplaced, but he has been in work throughout the winter, and should be well forward in condition. Chang is owned by his breeder. AD'. Coo. Seifert, who also raced his full-bro-ther, White Comet, with considerable success, * * * One of the best gallops recorded at Ellerslie this season was registered by Hampton Park, who ran six furlongs on the No. 1 grass track on Tuesday morning in 1.16 3-5. He had Royal Gallant as a companion, and they ran the first three furlongs in 37 1-os, both horses going welL until the last half furlong, when Hampton Park drew out and was several lengths ahead when the post was reached. As the poles were six feet out. from the inside rail the ground covered was slightly over six furlongs, thus making the gallop the more attractive. Both horses carried lighl boys, but the perlqrmancc clearly indicates that the pair are likely to show up m early engagements. * * Now that the going is firm Psychologist is displaying improved form in his track work, his etlort over seven iurloiigs on Tuesday at Ellerslie being very impressive. Tho pace .was on all the way and Psychologist was running on strongly at come on very last during the last the end of the gallop. This horse lias month and looks certain to win some good races before flic present season is over. So far Psychologist has not been successful beyond lii e furlongs and a hall, though on tine occasion last season he finished second over a mile journey run in last time, it is also in his favor that lie comes from a- family that has produced several good stayers, and he looks like making good in Unit respect. » * * Drum Fire, the three-year-old soil of Winning Hit and Scrimmage, lias been showing promise in his work at Riocarton and is expected to develop into a good performer later on. His best effort last season was recorded in the Champagne Stakes at Riecarton in tlie autumn, in which event ho ran third to Silver Bing and Tout le Aloud. Drum Fire is entered for hack races at tlie Wellington spring- meeting and should he worth keeping in mind during that fixture. #* * , A newcomer Lo the ranks, oi hurdlers at Otaki to-day is flic Aus-tralian-bred Air Laddie, who, while winning one or two races on the fiat in really brilliant style, has disappointed his connection time and itime again when most freely anti-' cipaLwt. He is now being raced by the Bulls trainer, A. E. Neale, who holds, him on lease from Air. C. JToxward. Air Laddies, who is how six’years old,', was • showing fair form in the winter, and Neale won a seven furlongs race with him at Napier Park in June. Since tlien he has reverted to his disappointing ways,; and it is probably fdr this, reason [that he is being tried at hurdling. He was hacked down to second favorite recently at Marton, hut was one. of the last to 1 - finish. He was also produced on the first day. at AVanganui, and altor running up on - [tho. turn, faded out in the, straight. AYitli' his pace lie might play a part in the Otaki hurdling events. caught in ;the right mood.

Fair Weather, .was a good performer last season, being ill. the money in his last lour starts—a win and tliree seconds —while ho was only beaten by Lord A r al in the Selwyn Handicap, seven furlongs, the concluding event of the Grand National meeting. His next appearance was in the Gillies Handicap, six furlongs, at [the Kurow meeting on Saturday and Al Jolson just headed him lor third money. Fair Weather made amends at Dunedin • yesterday. * * ■* The Otaki handicapper has shown a high opinion of Red Sun’s potential ability in setting him on 9.2 in the Taumanuka Hack Handicap at Otaki to-day, but the opinion may not be far short'of the mark, as his progress during the season will probably show. 11c will possibly need a race in him. Still his chance cannot be passed by, us lie lias done a. lot of work at Trcntham lately and has been galloping well up to a mile. He was blistered lor hock trouble during the winter, and this joint now appears quite sound. * ■* Twelve months ago Warzone won the Kapiti Hack Hurdles at Otaki under 10.9, and under 11.7 she ran second to Alanuiri in the Puketoi Hack Hurdles on the second day. To-day she will again contest the Kapiti Hurdles, with Hb less than she hail last year ,and as she indicated improving lorm at Marlon recently by running fourth alter being prominent all the way she may be capable of taking a share of the stake. At her best Warzone is a capiat hurdler endowed with more than the usual hurdler’s pace. She has had only four races since a spelt in the autimrti and tlie early winter, and it is about time now for her to be coming into her best again. C. Thomson, who piloted her at A I'arton, will again be in the saddle. * a * Tho field for the Pahiko Handicap at Otaki to-day is very moderate in strength, and the New Zealand Cup candidate, Joio do A al, although she h’as not had a race lor over two mouths, should make a bid oven under her 9.0 for the victory. In a gallop on Saturday morning she beat Late .Jest decisively, and tlie latter looked an improver when he ran fourth at Wanganui. This lull-sister to Degage did most ol her racing during the latter half of last season among open performers, and she i\as unlucky not Lo have won some oi life races in which she was placed. Her best performances were probably her win in the Champion Hack Handicap at the AVairarapu Summer meeting ainl her fourth in the C.J.G. Great Autumn. She has given evidence of being a stayer rather than a sprinter, but she lias a good turn of pace, and at this stage in her Cup preparation she may be found doing quite well at as short a distance as to-day s hack sprint. She has been progressing very quickly at Trcntham during the past fortnight or so.

It Juggle is produced for the Kapiti Hack Hurdles at Otaki today she will be- well supported, and slight improvement on her initial fencing performance at Marlon, where "she finished second lo Henry of Navarre, is all that is required to give her victory. 'This aged Joeulator marc showed excellent jumping ability at Alar ton, and it was evident from the backing she i\\as accorded that several knew about her prowess with the fences. She did not run at Wanganui but she is very forward and tlie weight she has" (Hb above what she had at Marion) will not . trouble her. She meets-Henry of Navarre at 91 jbetter terms.

Considering Um length ol the race it is obvious that Hewsoii was little behind Lamberton in ability—a matter of five minutes can so easily be lost simply through bad luck, hi the course of such a long and arduous journey. Hewsoii was the 1841 1 rider past the winning post, a particulaily fin o performance, when it is recalled P>ul 126 started iu the race.

Along the back stretch of the circuit. Beale and Dixon (SJmins) came into collision and were thrown heavily. Dixon was unable 4q continue and was brought back to town by one of the attendant ears, later .requiring medical attention for an injured leg.
