Tim Auckland R.C. deieded to retain the tbvo-dividend system l'or the spring, meeting. Two dividends will be payable for six starters, exclusive. of brackets. P.B.T.C. MEETING. THIS MONTH"* RACESNEW DIVIDEND SYSTEM. Turf followers .of this district will have their first taste of the new system of dividends at the Poverty Bay Turf Club's meeting on October 27 and 29, the committee having decided to follow the lead of other clubs iix taking advantage of the re-cently-approved regulations. Three dividends will be paid in all races where there are nine or more unbracketed runners, while two dividends will be paid on all. races where tho runners number from five to eight inclusive. In tho past, of course, only one dividend was paid unless there were six or more runners. This change means added work for the totalisator stall', but. judging from experience elsewhere, it should prove very popular with the public and also increase totalisator investments. At the otnlei meeting last week, for instance, it was very noticeable by far the largest pools were 'secured by the three-dividend races; naturally, of course, tlm larger number of .runners meant extra money invested, but even that did not account for the difference.

GALLOPS AT ELLEESLTE GAY COCKADE GOES WEE Ibe weather was beautiful oil Tuesday morning for training at Ellersilic, and the rain which fell on Monday morning had a beneficial effect on G*e tracks. No. 1 grass, with the poles 6ft. out 1 , was open for fast work, and the going was excellent. Several juveniles and maidens were given barrier practice, and they all shaped satisfactorily. Malikill and Gay Broney were first out. and were given an easy 'ask over six furlongs. They ran the first’ three in 18 3-ssee., and the full distance- in 1-23 1-5. Both .horses worked well. Karangapai was going comfortably alongside Hunting March at the eonelusion of five furlongs in 1.6 1-5. Karangapai is coming on fast, and will be in good order for his spring engagements. Llauore got to the end of 'four furlongs in 51 4-osec., and Xorval Tea was limed to cover three furlongs in -if) l-ssec. Marching Song. Neil, Good Idea, and Clontarf Bill were in that order after traversing a round in 1.57 4-5, the final seven furlongs taking 1.35. and the last six 1.22. Ala rolling Song was going on nicely at the finish. Hawthorn was sent "six furlongs, running the fii'xt tlliree in. 40 l-sscc.. and registering 1.21 3-5 for the full distance. Tctrarebate was being held back to Chin-song at the conclusion of live furlongs in 1.8 2-5. The former is improving with every gallop. Royal Gallant reeled off three furlongs in ySsec.. wtboufc being asked to do b>s best. Court Haven, after running her first three furlongs in 40 2-ssee., recorded 1.21 for six furlongs. The two-wear-old Solomon accompanied her over (he last three, which occupied 40 3-osee. Claremore was_ given a useful task, taking 54 4-ssec. for his last half-mile, and 40 1-osee. for Ins final three furlongs. Hampton -lark covered liis first three furlongs; in 41 ■ 1-ssoe.. and goi to the end ol six fuilongs in 1.22 3-osec.

NOTES AND NEWS. Saigon has been scratched for the Avondale Cup. La Poupcu was a good youngster, but she lost fur in ■ last season. At Treiitleim in July she nude a very promising reappearance, and si" wl- - interesting eoni'ict d n at Otkm. She beat all but Cadland . the first day, and on tbe second 101 l when entering the straight. Her first c.ay’s performance was good, and she has only gut lo go on the right way lo he in the money again shortly Captain's Gift last, spring had five successes, and lib began a I'un of three of them by winning the Wuhan Hurdles at Win-atui on October 10. Coming on to Trentham die von both hurdles races there. He Ims again been nominated tor the A\ ollingfou spring meeting. Jaloux is making good progress m bis preparation for the New Zealand Cup and other events to he decided at Riccartuu next mouth. He has not been set any record-breaking gallops, but be lias done well on the use ful tasks allotted him. If is treatment that seems to suit him, as he rail sume solid races last season on this elass of work. J. M. Cameron is taking Hunting Cry and Gold Trad to Avondale. Hunting Cry was aeeepted in both the Cup and Living. At Hie moment no decision has been reached as to which engagement lie will keep. If conditions are unsuitable and the Cup looks like being too hard for him in his proseut condition lie is likely to start in the sprint event. Hunter's Muon created a very favorable impression in bis only showing at Otaki. and had he stayed on Hie course entering the straight he must have won. Hunter’s Moon has had very little experience of racing, but he is one of the good Hunting Songs and looks a good buy for the Ceylon &porismau Mr. Lyons. He will make his next appearance at Masferton on Saturday and i» likely to do a good deal of racing here. SJmmfight should have won ilic Maungalua Handicap at Winyatii' (say-j tho "RrCss”). When he Was well out in front m tho straight hi~ apprentice rider kept looking back at his pursuers until Tipling had drawn almost up to him. He then turned his attention to lbs own mount, blit the damage had heen Rone, and Shamfight did not recover from liis temporary let-up. Tec stipendiary steward had the rider. NDwyer, before the stewards, ’J hey gave him a warning tout he must in future be more careful in handling liis mounts. There was an unusual incident in I the Spring Hurdles at Wingafu). Shipshape, one u! the field °1 three, jumped erratically and came down üboiiL seven lurluugs from home, bill 1 no damage was dono t<> him or Ins rider, G. Salt. He careered past the winning post riderless, but was caught at the enu of the straight. W. Hogan, a son of P- T. Megan, remounted him and completed the course, thus earning the third prize of Cu. Nomination and acceptance fees and the losing mount aggregated C 6, so the ''liver' 1 was useful. Hogan was applauded when lie rode illMost interest in trade work id To Rapa, on Tuesday morning centred .in a mile gallop by Baroscope, ridden by L. F. Faulkner, who will pilot him in l]ie Avondale Cup. Pelting and Princess Bede assisted him over the first six furlongs, run in 1.16 3-5, arid Valuation the last half mile. Baroscope, who had the outside running. covered the first seven lurlonigs in. 1.30. and the full trip in 1.41, doing if comfortably. He is in great heart. 'The Hawke's Bay-owned idly Gold Trail has not taken long to strike winning form. Her success in the opert sprint' race at Otaki last Saturday, being impressive, indicates that she is likely to play a .prominent part in her subsequent \hree-year-olcl engagements. Gold Trail s iorm in two-year-old events last season was good aiid consistent , and she looks Tike being a large stake-earner durum- the .Tiresent term. She is engaged in the Henderson Handicap on Hie first day at Avondale and will contest tjie Guineas on the second day, and solid support Is likely to be accorded her. Lordlv Kiugld, who has been paid up for 'in the Champion Hack Plate at Avondale, is a Jour-year-old gyluinij by Paladin from Bloodshed, and conics" from the same family as OHoil . He won four races last season, J'is Just success being in the Flying .Handicap, six furlongs, at -the Gisborne winter meeting, ill which he beat several good’ sprinters, including Mlnle Fang, Moa Bird, Teller, Urby s Choice, and Head Seraiig. lie also ran second to Imperial Tame ovei seven Furlongs, ami if lie is produced at liis best' he should be m the picture next Saturday.—Star. Shamfight should have won the Maungatua E'uudicup at M uigatui on Thursday Just. Milieu he was well out m front in the straight Ills apprentice rider kept looking hack at liis pursuers until Tippling na,d drawn almost M> to h"‘i. He then turned his attention t'o his own mount, but the damage had been done and . bln mfpdit did not have the time or the ground to recover from las temporary let up. The stipendiary steward lmd the nder, N.' -Dwyer, before the stewards, 'lhcy gave him a wain in that he must in luLurc be mote faicful in handling his mounts. Sea Ruler opened ids three-year-old career at Elicrslie m August dry winning the Sylvia lark Handicap, seven furlongs, at the Pakuranga Hunt ’ meeting,. beating . two well performed hacks, in L‘ Allegro and Roval Gallant. On that occasion bea lluler was in receipt of J.4lb . I'om V Allegro and 61b. from Royal yMlant 1 . At Avondale on - Saturday in the Champion Hack f late ( se t womhts), Sea* Ruler is in receipt of 1J lb. from both of them, and he should again !je hard to beat. I

WRISTUNG A MERRY MIX-UR. ALAMOS TURNS/TABLES ON KARASICK. WAS REFER EE TOO STRICT? ■,FOllcd .by' a' blow on L'be buck of Ibe neck, Harry Alamos. Hie Creek heavy-weight wrestler, was declared the winner on a foul over; Al Karasick. the Russian headlock expert, iil the sixth round of their contest at Auckland on Saturday evening. The Russian’s disqualification brought to an end a match that was last and exciting. The attendance was be low expectat io Ils .

At the time Unit Karusiek was ruled uut each man had snored' a fall. When tile sixth round was only a minute old, Karasick, wlio load opened the session by bounding across the ring and attempting lo get to grips before Mamos bad risen from bis chair, felled Ids opponent, by bringing belli bands down lmrd on the back ol Ins neck. 'l.be referee Mr. C. Pollard, had previously warned both contestants, and when lie saw Alamo j drop to the mat lie immediately ordered Kara sick 'to liis corner, and attempted to lift Alamos maud in token ol victory. Actually Air. Pollard was not able to bring the match to a finish without some bother. One reason, for this was that Ivarasiclc was indignant at the tiding that made him a loser, and he protested fiercely, and waved his arm* about like a wild man. Alamos did not make (lie referee s task any easier by showing a desire to carry on the bout. To add to the confusion a section of (lie spectators started to boot, and for a lew seconds it appeared as if the two wrestlers and the referee were all going to come to grips together. When he was unable to declare Alamos the winner in the usual way. Air. I’ollard shouted his verdict, but his voice was drowned in tin' uproar. Karasick lost no time in following the referee from the ring, but Alamos stayed behind to inform the crowd that lie did not want to win on a foul and was quite prepared to carry on the contest. In the opinion of a section of the .spectators Air. Pollard acted too hastily. but there is another side to the question. Certainty Karasick did nothing worse than many other wrestlers have done in Auckland be I ore. but the referee bad previously warned both men. and Karasick in particular. If the offences bad been committed earlier Karasick would probably have bod u pciiallv fall given against him bui. as the tails were even at the time, the ruling was. in. effect, a disqualification. If will be remembered that earlier in the season. Mr. Pollard wa-g for a time- not allowed to act as referee, the police declaring that be allowed the wrestlers in,, much latitude. Doubtless this fact influenced him op Sat ill'll a \-. -There was some excellent wrestling in tl>e match. and frconciit bursts of fireworks kept the gallery crowd in good hum°ur. Karasick is a particnlariv good showman, and he govo lull plav lo his ability on Saturday. The match took on a real pantomime appearance oil the occasion when the Russian leapt on to the ropes in liis opponent's corner and dared Alamos; to come war enough to be jumped on. Karasick niado good use ol bis headhxks, but it was Alamos who introduced the crowd to new bold. This «;i- wliat he calls the Grecian cross, a hold which he says is all his own. Rally in the.second round he trapped KarAsick and the Russian quickly submitted. The hold is a complicated uiif. but (lie twisting effect ir. lms o n the victim’s body is said to be painful In the extreme. Tn applying the hold Alamos scissor* one of his opponent's legs and obtains the twist by pulling with both hands at his opponent's headIt was not until *he lillli round that Karasick evened up the score. He threw Alamo* all round Urn ring with hoadlocks and Hying mares, and 1, p got on top of him to take a fall with "a body press. At the time that be ran foul of the 'Vforce the Russian looked lo he all sc! for another attack on liis opponent’s head. Rv his win nil Saturday Alamo's wiped off the defeat inflicted upon him by the Russian in Australia. BASKETBALL POVERTY BAT ASSOCIATION. REP.
