RACING NOTES.

Cherubini ha* an ugly splint on hhei c off foieleg-- He has been blistered T. 'Murt-^h ,a successful horseman horn New Zealand. »s now 'located at CaulfieW. G. Delaney has arrived at Caulfield from L he Hutt \yith Di Gama. Messrs W. G. Stead and A- E. Luttrell contemplate a buslncb stiip to Sydney in the near future. There ib a 1 amour at present goinjj- the rounds that Mt.;ilism will- not fulfil his Great Northern Hurdles en^ gagement. Midnight Sun shaped so baddy at Randwick on the 9th that the owner was advised to cancel the New Zea_ lander's^ engagements at Brisbane. The Wellington grandstand is much . too small, and "Sir Bcdivere" says that there is a proposal to- build a nevv one to scat 5000 persons. The latest news in respect to Tod Soan is that he has purchased the New York Bar in Paris, which will in future be known as "Tod Sloan's Bar." Master. Paul, the New Zealand steeplechase sprinter now in Australia, ran second in a race at Canterbury Park (Sydney)- a,' week ago. Flora -Maccionald, now resting', is. to «ro into work again, but there seems »' to be an idea that she r- ay not stand another preparation. There is a likelihood, of the Ellerslic hor o eman, A. 'J. McFlynn, making- the irip to Aus-trali? during 1 the winter to steep one of the Auckland jumpers > likely to be taken across the water. ' The French sportsman, M. Hen. nessy, owner of L'atteur. 111., dreamt 1 that Sunlcch won the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase. The "dream f turned out to be correct. Lalteur 111. finished "third to Sunloch. ' , Old Paritutu is reported -o be in , groat heart at New Plymouth, and is as fresh as a two-year-old. The agred, ', son of Castor has done more than his share of racing-, and ,has surely earned a lengthy holiday. Three New Zealanders started in the ," Flyingr Handicap at Tattersall'^ Club 1 races in Sydney on May 9th. 'Tat- \ terly .faded out over the last piece, after running a good race, but Sister __ Radius and Bbn~R~eve were never sighted on the journey. It is understood that Sister Radius is returning- to New «, Zealand. , Dr. King recently operated oh Black Northern and removed a substance' from his back , which is said to explain the pecuiarity possessed by the Salvadan gelding of stopping 4 in his races. It is to be hoped that the surmise will prove correct, and that in the future Black Northern will at least see his races out. There seems to be no smashing good 'chaser in commission., writes "Sir Bedivere," but the proved brigade includes at least three horses of more than average merit in Bercola, The Spaniard, and Glenmore. -The Spaniard is still backward. He has evidently been doing well, however 3 as his trainer makes no 1 secret of the fact that he expects him to be *a better horsfe than he was last year. 'Ruffy, who won in good style at Avondale, is well spoken of, and Peary is just the sort of horse that may turn out exceptionally sunart. There are some- rare-bred ones racing over the battens in England this season, among thenT'being 1 Romeo, a six-year-old horse by Flying <Fox from Ayrshire's daughter Glare, dam of the One Thousand winner, Flair. I Glare is a half-sister to 1 Lightfoot, dam of Royal Footstep and Royal Lancer, and Fk>at> dam of Flotsam. Her dam, Footlight, was a half-sister to Illuminate, dam of Ladas .and ChelandrVj and grand-dam of Cicero, Bezonian, and Traquair. Romeo won the 'Liverpool Hurdles, of 825SJ0VS., on Match 28. '■ Don Solvo, who won the Two-year-old Handicap last Saurday. is by Earlston out of the New Zealand mare Solution. A Sydney writer says : — Now that Don Solvo goes into winter quarters with two recent wins to his .credit, he will doubtless be remembered in any calculations that may be made in connection with the Derbies of next season. His performances do not place Don Solvjp on the same level as some others of bivage, but his pace is undeniable, and the manner in which he won his races suggests; that disance will not come amiss to him. His dam, Solution, was one of the - best mares 'that 'we have seen here — so much was proved when she won AJ.C Metropolitan with 8.2 in 2min. 334ec, Tattersall'a Rawson Shakes, Caulfield Stakes, and Melbourne Stakes. ' , - . 1" English papers say that Mr. Tyler, 1 the owner of Sunloch, , did not see the Liverpool Grand National Stepple*, as after leading his horse on to the course, he was unable to find tooxh on the stands,' so dense, was the rvowd. During the race he ' employed his time at the post office, where he wrote out wires to send home and to his friends : The wording of the messages was: ."Suniloch won easily," and. having them already written, he handed them I in before his hors« had passed the : winning- post, v \,, ' - '. y ■ ,
