It is taking Killochra a long while to get back to ‘winning form. The Great Northern double winner, Sir Roseberry, is said Io have cost his present owner 200sovs. The Solferi.no gelding Bright Sol is

being picked out in the north to mak a good handicap horse. Lucullcnt is said to be. one of th most promising hack hurdlers seen on at the Auckland Winter meeting. Air J. Lindsay has purchased th Solferino gelding Roseday, who will ii due course join S. G. Ware’s stable. A proposal will come before flu Racing Conference to limit the amouir of dead-weight a jockey may carry oi his body. Income is expected to make con. siderable improvement in condition b\ the lime the Wellington Winter meet, ing comes round. Keeping Omahu at the mixed business of hurdling and ’chasing does not appear to lie improving him nt either branch of sport. Boomerday is being ticked off as one of the coming hurdlers in the Do. minion. He has already displayed good form over the small sticks. The Afartian gelding Tiff, who was injured whilst racing at the Dunedin 'Spring meeting, is reported to be coming back to racing shape. Master Peter is regarded by some

of the North Island critics as likely to show improved form at the Wellingi ton and Riccarton meetings. The Wellington Racing Club will - hold a. two.days’ meeting at Trentham during the visit of the American ' Fleet, in the latter part of August. On his best form ’Frisco Alail ap_ ‘ peared to hold a chance of winning a race at Auckland, but he failed to run up to expectations. The track may not have suited him, but in any case he is a better horse than his latest form suggests. We have- seen the end of the 6.7 minimum in New Zealand, but the fact will not do awav with the 11 wasting” which is the bane of a jockey’s life. Air J. Richardson has placed Tionc. the full brother to Roseday, on the private sale list at 750gns. Tione is rising six years old. and considered thoroughly sound. The Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club is bringing forward a. motion that will make crossing or jostling in a race punishable by disqualification, ami not by fine or suspension, as at present. J. R. Kaan is at present an inmate of the Palmerston North Hospital, undergoing treatment for the injuries he received whilst riding Charlatan at the South Canterbury Aulumn mooting. There seems to be a growing opinion that the big sod wall at Wingatui should be replaced by a brush fence. It has been suggested that the so-l wall should be shifted to the back of the course. Tin l ex-New Zealaiu’.er Clarence O’Neill . who has been train, ing hordes for some years in Tasmania. is shifting to Victoria. O’Neil! was one of the first rulers to use the extreme crouch when riding ovi't hurdles. The Auckland Spring nuading is again booked to clash v.ith the opening days of the New Z<-d:iiid Cup meeting, and so will debar owners Irom j starting lheir horses in some ef the richest stakes offered in the Dominion. The owner of the Derby winner Manna is said to have backed his colt for 5()JI00sovs. and also pui«-h:!.se<l a Iml I’-int ers-'t in the t’u-ket whirl) drew lim in a sweep worth sU,(i(lOso\s. Tlustake was worth over 1 1 .(M)oso\ s.
