NOTES AND NEWS. Since resuming work at EUerslio aft©- a lengthy spell Tarporley has made good progress, and although ho ha 2 douo very little fast galloping he is steadily rounding up into racing shape aud is thriving well on the tasks allotted him. This horse P ut no several good performances during the, early part of the present season, aud~Tf he trains on satisfactorily is likely to show up in middle-distances when properly seasoned- Tarporley is engaged in the President’s Handicap at°the To Kuiti meeting to-morrow, but owing to lack of recent racing, may hardly be forward, enough to 'reveal his best form at that fixture.

Ruri is reported to be doing a solid preparation at Te Awamutu and will fulfil hi s engagement w Lll ° president’s Handicap, one mile and aquarter at the To Kuiti meeting .tomorrow’. G Baker, who rode ltuii to victory in the Puni Hack Cup at the Franklin meeting last month, v,’ again have the mount oil the dies - nut gelding to-muorow. As Ruri claims an engagement in the Cornwall Handicap, to be run on the fii'M <K' of the Great Northern fixture ut Lllurslfe, hi s form at Te Rapa this week will bo keenly noted by aucrgoers. ® * *

The death is reported of Hymestia (Hymcttus— Straga), who was foaled in 1914. Hvmestra, a brilliant sprinter, won the Wellington Stakes and Great Northern Champagne Stakes as a two-year-old, and later was purchased from the late lion. J._D, Ormond’s estate by Mr. W. for 2050 guineas. In Decemboi, t , when lie was three years °d, dead-boated for first with Mug Tmoin in the Railway Handicap at Eller slie. At the close of W s racing career be was sent to the stud aul sired a number of winners.

Sailing Home, a double winner at Southland last week, was making his first, appearance m open company. Ho is a six-yca'V-old gelding hy bolferino from the Birkenhead mare Stratlipetfor, so is thus a full-brother to Set Sail, a first-class handicap mare a few seasons ago. filing Home has been longer than the av cin«ro in getting out of back class, but Ids breeding is i n llis favour 01 turo improvements.

Tim Wairarapa double winner Colossical is due W race at the Te meeting to-morrow. , Enrly this " lie walloped five furlongs m companj with lied Top, and held the hat ei comfortably, going well in the heavy „round. • Cdossical looks improved since Easter, and as a winner.m his last two starts is well handicapped on the minimum at.Te Ivuß,. So far vidinrr engagement has- been made.

An.-;interesting worker a;t Ellcrslic Tuesday morning was Ammon Ra, who did an easy task-on-tho - Sana. Ammon Ra arrived from Cambridge where he -ha ß boon spelling, and he was to be shipped to, Sydney by The Marama .'Me wa s let rig it down in condition when lie returned from-Australia, and it is only in tliolast month; that he has commenced t 0 trot and canter again. Ammon Ra is 'in ■ the rough' -at spresentf- but ho .is healthy, and should go right ahead if he keeps'free from a recurrence of , his bleeding trouble, which affected'him last year.

Tradesman has not been produced since he won the Mt. Eden Handicap at tho Avondale meeting last month, but( in stated to be getting through aj good preparation at Te Rapa. The son of Ilaceful revels in heavy going, and if these conditions prevail ait the Te Kuiti mooting’he will bo in strong demand. Tradesman • usually races well at Te Rapa and is sure t t nt take a lot of beating in the Stewards’ Handicap, the chief sprint event to-mor-row .

Gay Broney. continues to train on satisfactorily and will be an improved galloper the next, time he is sad-< died up to race. This hack, who has plenty of speed, is also a better stayer than the majority of his class racing at the present tome and should ho worth following during the remainder of the season . Gay Broney is duo to make his next appearance in the Rangitoto Handicap, one mile, at the, Te Kuiti meeting t-o-morrow, and on past form he will he one of the hardest to heat.

Since Billy Boy last appeared in public the bulk of his work has been done on the llafc, chiefly over a middle distance, and he has never been galloping better than ho is doing a t present. His condition .is also better than at this period last season, and with a race at Te Rapa to-morrow he will be a very fit horse for Ids IGreat Northern engagements. Billy Boy will be schooled over the steeplechase fenU3s at EUerslio during the coming week, and tin's will afford track watchers an opportunity to see this good Jumper in action before the Northern meeting takes place. 9 * * ■ Riding engagements already made for the Ashburton races to-morrow are as follows: G.
