The Te Aroha course had been ctnnpttt’atively dry throughout the winter and his work thereon had been of a very consistent nature. He should make amends for recent failures when he is called upon io compete on firm ground. Antique, who is trained at the same centre, is reported to be shaping up Satisfactorily at present, being exceptionally muscular, if Still sortidwhat Oil the robust aide.

la a letter to a Chtistchuith friend last week the Rioearton trainer, C, Emerson, who is at present in Sydney With Mr R. J. Mufphy’s horses, Stated that Cortcenftate was making very satisfactory progress and would be irt hit best order again fof the later spring meetings. Early Cup went lame after hi* first race and was to have heed offered at auction on Monday of last week. Thia was showing much promise, and Emerson considers he would have been a winner at hie next attempt, Oraterian wu beaten only in the last stride at RosehUl.

Tuichen, Hia beat performance to date was in finishing second to Paddon in the Maiden Hurdles at Te Rapa in May, and as a result of this effort he was in good demand at the Great Northern Meeting in June, but the formidable Ellershe Obstacles troubled him. The easier natute of the Marton fences should suit him, and with 9.5 he is expected to give a good account of himself, Benorita, a three-year-oldpalf-sister by Whirlwind to last season's G.N. Oaks winner, Speedmitti, will probacy accompany High Commissioner to Marton and wifi contest the hack five furlongs. Thia filly Was started on only four occasions last Seaton, and finished handy to the placed horses each time, after being prominent from the barrier rise. Bhe has developed a good deal Since she was last raced, and should have her turn as a stake-«arner this season. Tutchen holds quite A high opinion about her, The late %r G, J), Greenwood commenced dating in 1908, and during the period that has elapsed since then he won 124)99600** in New Zealand.

With six victories to his credit last season, AU Humbug’s form was consistent, and it is doubtful if the beet has yet been seen of the Humbug gelding. He was given a spell after racing at tke Great Northern meeting last June, but is evidently doing well again, and is due to race at Marton this month. AU Humbug is trained by A. E.
