DIVOTS. I big by “The Deller.” Nominations for the Wanganui Spring Meeting Will be received up to 8 o’clock this (Monday) evening, and for Marton and Manawatu Hunt meeting up to the same hour to-morrow. The C.J.C. has received fifty nominations for next November’s NewZealand Cun as against sixty last year. There are not a few that make one wonder what sort of transformations are to be worked on them to fit them for such a race. .1. I’-arry has accepted a retainer from Air. F. Moore, and lie will be on Reremoana and other good horses in the team ths season. Three of Mr. V. Riddiford’s mares. Glimpse. Miimnia and Merit have gone to Mr G M Currie s stud to be mated with Lirnond.

Lady Isinglass, Mascot, Eastern Melody, and All Bright (Grand Parade—Bright Folly) have been booked to visit the imported sire, Royal Divorce (King’s Broctor —Jesamine).

Diamond Ring continues to please in her tuition over hurdles at Wanganui. On Friday last she did a round over the schooling hurdles, and shaped like a natural jumper. She will probably be a starter in the hack hurdles at Marton.

Lysandei is said tu be improving with every gallop. On Thursday lie was given a spin over four furlougs, which he left behind in 5G 2-5. lie ran the first quarter in 24 3-5. The son of Absurd—Pennon will have his first race as a three-year-old in the Wanganui Guineas, three weeks hence, by which time he should be ready to show something like his best form.

Kilbronsyth is such a long-striding customer that he does not gather way until he has got well away from the starting post. It is probable that on this account he will this season be tried over longer distances than hitherto. Hence, probably, his entry for the New Zealand Cup, for which he may be given a special preparation.

Auckland exchanges now to hand show that lioth Kirkwood and Gurniou were scratched from their I’akuranga engagements at 2.50 p.m. on Thursday last. We know, of course, that the steeplechaser’s withdrawal Was due to his having suffered some injury, but no reason is given for the striking of his stable-mate from the flat race for which lie was an aci- tor. liine and again Ellerslie trackwatchers have told us to be ready for Pavo “coming hack,” and great things were predicted for him on Saturday. However, there was nothing in the way of fulfilment, and it looks as if hackers had better put him out of niind. The Welkin—Land Rose gelding is now in his tenth year, and he has not been a winner since getting home in a six-furlong race at the Ohinemuri meeting in March. 1921.

With nothing as yet but bare results to go on, Saturday’s Pakuranga Hunt meeting at Ellerslie does not afford much material for comment. 1 hough not a single first favourite got home, every event but one went to either the second or the third public choice. The exception was the star race of the day, the Hunt Club Cup Steeplechase, tor which the winner was ninth down the betting and the second borse eighth in a field of ten

Beau t’araher, the winner of the Hunt. Cup Steeplechase, is a seven-year-old gelding by Chesterfield from a Finland ninre, and prior to Saturday's meeting had been seen out in public only once, when he ran unplaced in the Hunt Club Hurdle Race at the Auckland winter meeting last June. Apparently his second in Saturday’s Hunters’ Hurdle Race cannot have been a very impressive jierlormance, otherwise he would not have been allowed to pny the only double-figure dividend of the day iii the cross-country event. A recent winner at one of the Sydney suburban meetings was Grantwood, a now 5-yenr-old gelding by Egypt from Auote, an Otatara. bred mare whose dam was Etona.

J. M. Cameron leaves for Sydney by next Friday’s steamer from Wellingtoif Whether his two-year-old Lirnond—Salute filly will accompany 'I he Hawk and Goshawk depends on how she tries out on the Hastings track during the week. The Lirnond— Soult c ombination of blood should have produced something capable of profitable travelling abroad. F. D. Jones’s luck still holds in his Sydney ventures, his Derby candidate Limerick winning at the first time of asking on Saturday at Rosehill in the w i n. Carlingford Mile. Though the l.rmond gelding seems only Io have just squeezed home, it was in good time and from a horse that has been a recent winner, so that the form may be taken as giving good promise for bigger events ahead. Two other Maori hinders in the 4-year-old Martian—Star Lady gelding Star Stranger and the 3-yenr-old Surveyor—Juanita colt Subdivision managed to secure places in their respective engagements at the same meeting. On the other hand, Reonui, who has now passed out of Jones’s hands, failed to show up prominently at the finish of his race.
