, (By Maecenas). G Armour stripped very robust .at Mai ton, but nevertheless ran t wo good races. Muskatoon was a runner for the Marton Handicap, but after going well hack' b ° Ut SU fl,rlongs thereafter lifted Chaiimnn has a private reputation, and many expected him to show no ai Marton. but ho never threatened danger. Perhaps he mav do better at u angamu. Condition played a prominent pv.’ in the: decision of several races on the Marton course during this week. there was a good deal of merit in the win ot Avola on Wednesday, as the daughter of Bisogne did not jump out quite so well as some of her opponents. but won easily. . We! l I’idden at- Marton on Wednc-s----n VV> A V l! ;ic 'Y‘- ,ldd have won easily. 11ns gel.ong is a promising hurdler. Mimetic ■ (Comedy King—Joyeuse) who cost .Mr A. B. Williams 2(soogns' is a rare galloper, and will surely repay his purchase money. Had Cambric pulled up well at Marton his owner intended taking this gelding north for the richly endowed Pakuranga Hunt Club Gup.' After Lucrative had won a fair race at Marton on W ednesday a prospective buyer from Taranaki wieed the gelding, but the £6OO asked was considered just about double his value. There were several big fields at the Marton and Rangitikei Hunt Clubs’ meetings, and the Marton .course was •hardly large enough to accommodate such a number with safetv. ■When Cambric went out to contest the Rangitikei Hunt Club’s Cun he came in for more than the average amount of scrutiny, on account of an offer of four figures failing to tempt his owner. Diamond Ring does not run out a solid ten • furlongs as a rule, but at Marton on Wednesday she fought out a good battle with Arch Salute, and on

this - showing , should certainly run well at Wanganui. Royal Divorce has developed into, a endid. t-vpe of thoroughbred, ana although he failed to show up in his races at Marton, little notice need be ;:\ken of 'his failures, as lie was much tco big to show his best. On each day at Marton. the somewhat erratic' Quest proved too much of a handful for his diminutive rider,, but if ridden bv a mere experienced der at Wanganui next, week should show up in his traces. : Cambric was heavily bandaged in front when he went to the pest for his race at Marton on Thursday. He bor-e a well-trained appearance, and in looks outclassed his opponents. Going o the. front from the barrier rise,-Cam-bric gave a splendid exhibition of ’nmping until a weak tendon started to trouble him. This eventually gave out, and Cambric finished on three legs. .•"‘‘i

Says Mr D. «T. Goodwin in a letter to a friend in Ha wera, talking of racing: “I was in Paris three weeks altogether, and saw three race meetings; very nice. Paris is well named a gay city. [ went to the English Derby, which is a disgrace from a management point of view. I also went to Ascot; a little better.” The racehorse Waiotamn. owned by Mr R. Fleming, jbpr.. of Rahotir, died ’t Ha wera. on Mondav.. Wa.ibtama showed seine promise last- vear. .
