TAKAPUNA RMANDTCAPS - 'Preso Association AUCKLAND, Jan. 23. The following re-handicaps for the Takapuna, meeting are announced:— Orewa. High weight: Thespis, from 10.10 to ILS. Ferry Handicap: Broken Rule from 7.8 to 8.1. NOTES' AND NEWS. There was a good deal of discussion after the first race at Trentham on Saturday, as to whether a correct declaration of the dividends had been made. It arose out of the short price paid by the first two horses, and inquiries showed that for the purpose of declaring the four place dividends rendered necessary by the dead-heat for third, the place pool had been divided into four equal parts. This was at once queried by those who considered a mistake had been made. They held the opinion that- the first and second horses should have received their usual allotted share of one-third of the pool, while the dend-hcarters should have equally divided the remaining third. Reference to the rules, however, governing the point showed that the place pool must be divided into as many equal parts as there are horses in the first three places. There seems little doubt, however, that this is in direct conflict with a rule that the amount of the pool available for dividends shall be divided into three equal parts, to be divided respectively among investors on the first, second and third horses. A dead-heat for third is equal to one place, and this is a point that has to be cleared up immediately.—Dominio.n

Tn the Camp Hack Handicap at Trentham on Saturday three horses crossed' the lino practically on terms. Haulbowlinc, Good Hunting and Benconsfield. were early prominent from Slippery. Good Hunting pulled in behind later, and Slippery was the first to bead off the leaders. Just as he looked a winner, Good Hunting came on again, while Nebulae put in a run on the outer. At the post Good Hunting had just caught Slippery for a dead heat, while Nebulae was loss than a head away. Beaeonsfield was fourth, followed by Eupator and Worship. Good Hunting and Nebulae ran well to form, but Slippery improved, and looks like being useful. Both dead heaters arc by Hunting Song. Worship was backed and beaten. Beaeonsfield. ran a fair race, anc, Haulbowlinc showed speed for five furlongs.

The acceptance of nine ol the ten handicapped for the Takapuna Cup is a fine response on the part

owners, and though the class in the race cannot ho rated highly the

horses are sufficiently good to provide a, contest in keeping with the importance of the event. The. two Gisborne horses, Merry Damon and Sunny Sky, hold their ground at the top of the handicap with 9.0, and 8.13 respectively and ns both galloped well at Ellersie on Saturday they ore in good condition* to show their best form. Speedmint, 8.7, is likely to he the favorite. The Catmint mare is really a better galloper than her performances would, make out, and she is one of those well able to run out the 11 furlongs aud 40yds necessary mi Saturday next. Trishna, 7.10, Great Elmblem, 7.9, and Gay Idea 7.0,. are likely sorts ,but the chances are that most hackers will prefer to he on the side of Speedmint.

The; Taranaki-owned gelding Tigerism was shipped to Sydney from Wellington and on. arrival will go into ■iF. AfcGrath’s stable. He has been nominated for the Doncaster Handicap and Sydney Cup to be run at Randwiek,

. The, introduction of the new betting system was responsible for a. Jack of punctuality in getting off the races at Trentham, the public being slow through being unaccustomed to the conditions. Money was lost on the sixth race in closing down to save time, but even the last race was nearly half an hour late. Dilatory backers did not receive so much consideration on ilio second day, as the officials had decided to observe the usual Trentham practice of closing the machine promptly to time.

Aiguille scored a very comfortable win in the Duro Cup Handicap. Ho was not very well placed early in the race, but in the middle stages ho moved up to a handy position, and, coming into line, lie was going well. He challenged the leader, Navaho, halfway up. the running- and disposed of him without difficulty. The favourite, Beau Gallante, was very slow away, as also were Glow Light and Importance. Beau Gallante never afterwards got within striking distance. Illuminate, Navaho and Court Yard began best and led in the early running from Drum Fire, Ben Hur, and Purse. Drum Eire •soon disappeared and oji the turn the order was Navaho, Court Yard, Ben. Hur, Grand Review, Purse, Niggerhead, and Aiguille. Navaho was still in charge as they came into line, with Ben Ilur, Grand Review,Aiguille and Court A r ard handy. Aiguille came on best and gradually wore down Navaho, going on for a very decisive win. Navaho was ever more decisively second from Purse, who got up in the last stride to beat Court Yard, and then came Niggerhead, Importance and Grand Review. Aiguille won like a good horse. Navaho surprised, hut ho was always going well out in front and he beat the others even more decisively than his beating hy Aiguille. Court Yard ran a. good race and might improve. Purse is running well. Eminent was never sighted, but lie drew well out like Beau Gallante. Drum Eire disappeared very suddenly from a good early posit ion and no doubt was unlucky. Importance showed up very well at the finish after being right back last in the early stages.
