SPORTING PARS.

(By “Silken Rein.”) Nominations for all events at tho Wootlville autumn fixture close to-night at 0 o’clock. T. Webster, who was injured when Kiriana fell at Riccarton during the cup meeting in November, resumed riding at Pahiatua on Wednesday. At a recent meeting of the Woodville Jockey Club a proposal was submitted that the club adopt a 10s totalisator. The motion was seconded, but after a lengthy discussion it was lost on the voices. I A provisional trainers’ license has been granted to L. G. Morris, who is to take on F. Tilley’s team at Fordell. * Chide, who was recently sold to an Australian owner, has been entered for the Sydney Cup, and is one of the early favourites for that event. Chief Ruler, with 48 wins and 04 placings, is at the head of the winning sires list, his progeny having won £14,535 this season. Hunting Song, Paladin, Paper Money, Day Comet, Lucullus and Kilbroney 'follow in that order. The stock of these sires have won over £7OOO, but all are under £BOOO. 11. Gray and K. Voitrc, who both had two wins at Takapuna on Wednesday, have increased their season’s totals to 25 and 28 respectively. H. Goldfinch is still in the lead with 34 to his credit, while B. H. Morris, who is next, has 28. Richfield’s programme during the past few months has been a fairly seven 1 one, but he has come through the hard racing well. Ho is to be treated, however, to a. short spell and may not bo seen out again until the Easter meetings. On the face of her Wellington performances Bright Glow will be much enquired for when the Taranaki Cup comes up for decision next week. There is likely to be a good field, but as she is now at her best, Bright Glow should win it. On a wet track, however, Corinax will be a troublesome one.
