At Ellerslie on Thursday morning:— On the course proper. Broadwood got to the end of seven furlongs in 1.39.— Commendation went over six furlongs at a. good working gallop, .hut was not aftx'r time. .Master Doon was in front of. l-'oroign Fancy at the conclusion of live furlongs from the old post in 1.6.— Nmiwati and Treadnoedle sprinted two furlongs in 25sou. Kamehamoha ran six furlongs in 1.21 4-5.- -Lfidy Ridicule ran seven furlongs in 1.33 2-s.—On the tan. Star Ranger and Gala Day went once round in 1.52 1-5.- Musketoon wont a mile and a-quarter. being picked un By Far North over the last seven furlongs, the last round taking 1.54. Musketoon finished in front. At Wanganui on Thursday morning: The weather was favourable for training operations, but the tracks were very hard, and most of the horses, I having galloped on Tuesday, the work J was not of ]>articular interest.— Motley 1 and Lysander were given half pace work. The latter struck himself the other morning while doing a gallop, but did little damage beyond taking a bit of skin off.—Attractive and Horoinca wore given a six-furlong spin, the distance being run in 1.16. J, Horomea shaping well, while Attractive was also going along nicety at the end.— Kiosk and Elthoin were slipped over half a mile in 491, both hitting out well.

At New Plymouth on Tuesday: Te Monanui and Stork jumped off at the mile and a quarter post and were ])icked up by Mint Leaf at the seven furlongs. Stork pulled up three furlongs from home, and the other pair , finished together, the last seven furlongs taking Imin 37scc. Though the time was not out of the ordinary, the Cup candidate got through his task in a highly satisfactory manner.— Aropcta. who claims an engagement in.the Great Northern Derby, finished in front of Closofiro and Roburite over seven lurlongs in Imin 33jsec. on the plough.—Oration was just in front of Hipo over three furlongs in 37|sec. 1 DIVOTS. Dug by “The Del ver.” On Monday next first-day acceptances have to be in for the Wairarapa New Year meeting, and on Tuesday those lor the Hawke’s Bay, Marton and Staatlord summer fixtures. L. Alanson has been engaged to ride Broadwood in the Railway Handicap. H. Burns, who rode Clarinda at Woodville, has been engaged to ride that marc in the Alanawatu Cup. B. 11. Morris will ride Mr. V. Riddi- ■ ford’s horses at Awapuni when the I weights permit. He will also be on Motley in the Palmerston North Stakes and probablv on Ngata in the Cup, so another rider will have to be found for Enthusiasm. The Riucarton jockeys 1). Cotton and ; 11. Burns will be riding at the ManaI watu Racing Club’s summer meeting, j I where they have numerous engage- | ’ moots. Cotton will do the Wairarapa New Year meeting, while Burns will ; probably be at Marton. Since winning at Woodville No j Favours has changed stables, and is [ now at Trentham under the same care 1 as Dogage. A “contingency” has been registered i as between Mr. A. J. Toxward and Mr. A. B. Williams wi.h regard to . Star Stranger’s yearling full-brother : (Martian Star Lady), it co.ers the period till the end oi his four-year-old , season. In reply to a verbal enquiry -.—The . law imposing a prohibition mi the publication of totalisator dividends was , 1101 introduced bv the Reform Go.erumont. but as tar back as 1.907 during Sir Joseph Ward's premieiship. A Sjmney writes sa\s that it would now bo fairly safe to bet that The Hawk will remain in Australia until alter the com lusion of the next auiun.i: meetings in All'll.ourne and Sydney. E. George will not leave New Plymouth for Auckland till the middle of next week, having decided to avail himself of the splendid local track as long as possible. Both Uie Banker and Lady Ca ondish are reported to have boon working 1 very well on the track at Hawera. Cox intends starting both Roremoaua and Ladv Cavendish in the A.R.C. Railway Handicap. L. (1. Morris is to ride the former, hut so far no rider has been j engaged fpr the filly. j ’‘Polonett has had a quiet time since | To Awamutn and it is the same with | Gala Day,” writes an Auckland correspondent. “Polonett failed badly as a , stayer last season, but with another I year on him he may do better. His i form at Tc Awamutn was incorrect.” i H. Goldfinch has been engaged to ride Star Area in the Great Northern Derby and Money Order in the Railway j Handicap. J. T. Jamieson intends to start both Spoony and Steel Bar. and of the pair Spoony may be the hoi tor. Stool Bar | has shown over.v indication of being a I stayer, but lie is perhaps not mass ' enough to win an Auckland Cup. Both horses arc, however, very well. -An I Auckland correspondent. I it is not often that we hoar of a horse leaving George Price’s capable hands for other training quarters. However, Baldwin, with whom he won a good race quite recently, has left his establishment for the stables of his owner, Mr. I). V. Seaton. I A field of sixteen, quite big enough ' for the comfortable running of the .race, has been left in the Auckland Cup after last night’s first acceptance. The further payment that has to be made on the day may see one or two more drop out. hut probably there will hi? at least a. dozen or more start. All those weighted at over Bst. that have been seriously discussed as likely to go to the post have cried content. 1 and the quality of the field is thus I well assured. Of those allotied less . nothing with any real prospect of suu--1 cess ha? been withdrawn and. truth I io tell, some of those still standing ' their ground would, mi recent performances, look to have but little chance. 1 might lake on the big Ellcrslm race. I but his owner has evidently considered j his chances better in h ss soled company elsewhere. I An aeeeptame of' 31 for the A.R.C. Railway Handicap ha? necessitated a 1 ‘‘divisi'.’ii.’- but, presumably, if later .-.matchings 1 educe the starters to the •‘safety’’ number iheru v ill be onl > ;he (-lie conte t.
