THE TE MAHANGA ANNUAL

DRAFT

On Thursday morning next (the second day of the Hawke s Bay Jockey Club’s autumn meeting) the ■annual draft of the Te Mahanga vourigsters will come under the hammer. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company will conduct the sale in Messrs. Williams and Kettle’s yards, Hastings. The success of the Te Mahanga-brcd thoroughbred stock is so well known by racing men that it is unnecessary for me to enlarge upon it here. There is scarcely a big race m New Zealand but what has at one time or other been won by a horse bred at- the famous stud farm. It is only necessary to mention Tortulla and Mahutonga to bear that out, for the forin- K er won amangst numerous handicaps caps the New Zealand Cup and the latter the Auckland Cup. The young, stock to come forward this year are from those well-bred mares Maid of Astclat, Mongonub Glisten, Basilisk, Waiau, The Brook, Carnelian, and Fairy Gold. Maid of Astolat was a really good mare herself, and from the fact that she is a half-sister to California her progeny will be sure to arouse spirited speculation. Mongonui is a half-sister to Seahorse, who won the triple crown — Canterbury Derby, New Zealand Cup and Canterbury Cup. She is by Carbine, so on breeding it is hard to fault her. Colleen Mary and Divinia have been already left by Mongonui. The former is very useful for anything up to a mile, while tne latter is undoubtedly fast, but will not show her true/ pace until she settles down to the racing business. Basilisk has left Ataahuia, who was one of our most promising hurdle horses in New Zealand at the time he was shipped to Australia. Waiau is the dam of Culcita and Tomairangi, and they were a speedy pair. The Brook is a full sister to Brooklet and she has thrown a useful mare in Magneto, who has done well in New Zealand as well as Australia. Carnelian ife the dam of Thrave and Projectile. In addition to the six yearling geldings and two yearling fillies from these noted mares, two two-year-old geldings will be offered also the seven-year-old gelding Karakaturua. The latter has a Woodthorpe Cup and Waipukurau Bracelet Handicap to his credit. There is no risk attached to the buying of young stock from this stud, as only those without a blemish are submitted to auction. In addition they are well-grown, for they are feel from the time they are old enough to eat oats and are carefully handled, which ensures no trouble ahead for would-be purchasers. These advantages are worth something in the purchasing of a yearling, for they have a decided pull over others when racing that have not had such judicious treatment.

NOTES.

Golden Clasp has reached her new acme in Dunedin, and ner owner, who bought her purely on recommendation, has expressed himself as well satisfied with the purchase of the Hawke’s Bay mare. Autumnus has beaten Ermangarde three times in succession, and on his races with the filly in the Manawatu Stakes, when he beat her on her own course, he must be entitled to the claim of being the best two-year-old out this season.

Trafalgar has now scored 13 consecutive wins, and in nine of these he started at odds on.

The Vasco-Madder colt purchased by “Mr. Highden” at the Christchurch yearling sales and whose jaw was found to be broken has made a complete recovery and is now being worked at Awapuni.

Aberbrothcck has finally broken down and will take up stud duty at Clovelea next season. Clarence O’Neill has been offered the positon of trainer to a Hobart sportsman. After fulfilling some engagements in Melbourne he will probable take up his residence in the Tasmanian capital. Seven out of eight winners on -the second day of the Wellington Racing Club’s meeting started favourites. Distinction was favourite in the concluding, the Belmont Hack Handicap, and had a good lead entering the straight for home. She, however, tired in the run to the post and finished third, two lengths behind the winner.

Vanguard, who won the Great Eastern Steeplechase at Oukaparinga the other day, put up a very remarkable performance, and it : s said that such jumping has never before been seen in South Australia. Vanguard cut out the distance, three miles and a quarter, in (imin 36see., which beat the previous record by

seven seconds, and is only five seconds off the record for the Flemington National, the distance of which is a furlong shorter. Originally he was hacked about over New South Wales by a sundowner, and did a lot of work after sheep. Finally he w r as sold for £l5 to a mail, who thereupon played the sundowner poker for the money, and won it back again. Mr. Quinn picked the grey up at auction for something over £lOO, a small enough price for the champion ’chaser of to-day.

HAWKE’S BAY GUN CLUB.

A meeting of the committee of the Hawke’s Bay Gun Club was held at the Pacific Hotel, Hastings, Last evening, Mr. C. L. Mackersey presiding, when it was decided to hold an open handicap of £l6o on Tuesday, 18th June, the day prior to the Hawke’s Bay Jockel Club s steeplechase meeting. One new member was elected.

FOOTBALL.

PROFESSIONAL RULE AND > ENGLISH AFFILIATION.

Invercargill, April 26. At to-night’s meeting of the Southland Rugby Union the following motion was unanimously carried: — “That this union heartily approves of the notices of motion to be brought forward by the Hawke s Bay Union at the annual general meeting of the Council of the New Zealand Rugby Union in reference to the alteration of the rules dealing with professionals, also cancelling affiliation to the English union.” It was resolved to instruct the Sbuthland delegates to the annual meeting of the New Zealand Union to heartily support the measures.

CLUB FORMED AT TARADALE

A meeting of Rugby footballers and ■’supporters of the game was held in the Taradale Hotel last evening for the purpose of forming a new club. Mr. W’illiams presided, and Messrs. Wilson, Hislop, Bailey, and Tyne, of the Napier Sub-union, were present. Mr. W. A. Colwill wrote apologising for his absence.

The. chairman outlined what was being done to popularise the game in the Hawke’s Bay District.

On the motion of Messrs. Moynihan and Atkins, it was decided that a club be formed to be called the “Suburban Club,” and the following were appointed a committee to canvass the various districts for the purpose of obtaining players :—Messrs. Colwill and Woods (Greenmeadows), Williams and Moynihan (Taradale), Morrisay and Brenchfield (Meanee). The following officers were elected (pro tem), Mr. C. H. Williams; secretary (pro tem), Mr. W. A. Colwill. It was decided to meet again on Tuesday to up the entries of teams.

A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the representatives from town for the interest they are. taking in the game. A vote of thanks to Mr. Williams closed the meeting.

STAR CLUB

A new football club, to be known as the Star Club, has been formed in Napier, which will be composed of Borough Council employees and other players. The following officers have been elected :—Club captain, Mr. Spackman.; vice club captain. Mr. G. Brown; secretary and treasurer, Mr, A. P. Sheehan ; delegates to the Hawke’s Bay Uunion, Messrs. Spackman and Brown. The club colours will be green jerseys with a white star and white knickers.

HOCKEY.

(By “Goalkeeper.”)

In veiw of the Territorial parades the Hawke’s Bay Hockey Association has decided to postpone the commencement of the competitions until 4th and Stli May. This will give teams an opportunity to coach their new men and will also give a further length of time for ttaining purposes. The big event of the year will be the “Rep.” match between Hawke’s Bay and Wellington, to be held on the Recreation Ground, Napier, on 29th May. This match will be almost certain to draw a big crowd, as a very keen interest is taken in the doings of the Hawke’s Bay “reps.”

The Saturday afternoon practices are well attended. On Saturday last there were about sixty players present.

On Saturday last Mercantile met Civil Service in a friendly match. At the whistle the scores were four each, but it was decided to play another ten minutes. During this Civs, scored a goal and so won the match. The game was not of a high standard. and lack of training told on both sides. Mercs, bad a stronger team than Civs., but their forward line was spoilt by selfishness. It will be a good game when these two teams meet in the competition.

At the meeting of the association on Thursday night it was decided to award the Saturday Junior Competition to St. Matthew’s. This decision will be favourablj’ received both in Napier as well as Hastings. The Graham Cup for 1911 was not awarded to any of the ladies r teams. The morning practices are not as well attended as they might be. On Thursday there were only twelve present, the majority of these being Bible Class men. Some of the other clubs were not represented at all. The commencement of the competitions will cause an improvement, provided the weather is fine.
