The following New Zealand horses wore successful at the Gaspord meeting:— Single Spear won the Approved Stakes, Absurdum the Flying Welter, and Beriuthia the Stewards’ Mile. DTNKUMI AUCKLAND, Dec. 8. Stormy, who left New Zealand as a maiden, and won four races in -which he started in the Newcastle district, returned by the Marama yesterday. Owing to doubts cast on his identity by some Australians, the steamer was met by a detective and Afr W. S. Spence, secretary of the Auckland Racing Club, who. after an investigation, pronounced the horse to be undoubtedly Stormy, who left Ellerslie to race in Australia several weeks ago. GENERAL - NOTES. There are now seventeen horses be ing trained at Oniotn. J. Stewart ha a string of six, T. Donuellan five- ant Cameron two. Oriole has been sent over the hill fo ihe New Brighton meeting. He is i) Scotty” Bryce’s hands, and tm shrewd Scot should bo able to induct the Oro horse to leave the peg. 11. Wiggins will ride Mundane ii the Auckland Cup, and Limited in thRailway Handicap Booster is reported to have done wel since racing at Riccarton and he is ex pected to race prominently at Timari this w’eek. The Riccarton apprentice, R. Beale whose services have been in demant during the past few months, has beei engaged to do the light-weight ridinj for Mr L. C. Hazlett, at the Southeri holiday meetings. Chersonese, the dam of Heroic, ha produced a colt foril tn the Volcn horse Devizes. Limerick is a regular attendant a Riccarton each morning, and is beinj given trotting exercise on the lead He has built up considerably since hi return from Australia, and his affectei neel is quickly yielding to treatment F. D. Jones has no intention of hurry ing him in his tasks, but hopes to hav< him in rare buckle for racing in th< early autumn. ”Pilot,” of the Syd ney '‘Referee,” is still interested ver; much in Limerick, and states or hope. t'haU his reappearance may be in Syd hey. Assuming he is given two month: from the time he ran in the Melbourne Cup to recover from his trouble, tha‘ will leave him another three months it which to get ready for the A.J.C. St Leger. As he is a light-fleshed horse that is' sufficiently long to give him ? fair chance of being in excellent trim and, though beaten by Rampion ii both Derbies, it is possible that Mr H A. Knight and F. D. Tones are not ye l convinced that the Rossendale colt ii the better stayer. They can point oui that, despite his bad foot, Limericli lasted longer than Rampion in the Mel bourne Cup. “For my own part/ adds “Pilot,” “I should like to sec Limerick put by for next spring. 01 course, such a long spell would cosl him the opportunity of winning som-

valuable stakes, but it should assure complete recovery from his lameness, jllis running in the Craven Plate should make him good enough for any I Australian company af four years. In Khat race he appeared unlucky to be defeated by Windbag, and got home ahead of Valicare and Amounis, and it will be unnecessary for him to improve 'upon that to enable him to pay expenses in weight-for-age races over here, next season.” ' With fifteen left in the Great Northern Derby (states “Vedette”), a really great field is assured, Limerick and Soatown being the only notable absentees. Battlement will probably deputise for Limerick so far as the stable is concerned, although he racers in Air J. F. Buchanan’s interests. Lysander, if he starts, and certainly Commendation, will be the centre of interest. True Blood appears to be the real rising star on the firmament, and outiside of Battlement he looks the greatest danger to the favourite pair. Resinous has shown that distance doc® I not trouble him, while Alloway is usojful, but one doubts tEeir quality. The (Auckland Cltib, however, seems certain of a contest on New Year’s Day well worthy of the good stake provided. It, is hard to understand why Seatown was left out. One of the smartest fillies—not actually the smartest —seen out on tho English turf this year is Cresta Run whose latest victory was registered in tho Imperial Produce Stakes at Kempton Park. Cresta Run carried 9.3 and she defeated a field of 11. Cresta Run who was bred by her owner, Lieutenant colonel G. Loder, is a daughter of Hurry On, and on the dam’s side she claims a strain of Carbine blood through her grand-dam, Mountain Maid (a daughter of Spearmint).
