Haying disposed of the Canterbury Jockey Club's summer meefonfcj tori trainers will now turn thw\ f tbo ?, tl0 " to the Wingatoi fixture, which will be held next week. A strong contingent from this quarter can bo rehod on to make tho trip south. Kaminohe had some skin knocked off his legs wlien lie fell i« the Crayon Plato on Saturday, and ho was showing signs of soreness when he lefb tho course. It was an unfortunate accident, as the Hvmettua gelding was in good fettle, and looked like makfag a return to his owner before.long, ft is certainly wine that he ivon a decent race, a,s ho haa been an expensive horse so far. Sartorze was galloping well when he came to grief in the Craven Plate on Saturday, and appeared certain to play n. part in the finish, as lie can muster up a fine dash of speed at the end of a race. The Sarto gelding is not engaged at tli© Dunedin, Jockey Club's meeting, but he should pick up a good race at one of tho autumn meetings.

The three-year-old filly, Lady Hampshire, went very soro last week, and P. Holmes has decided to spell nor till oho ground becomes softer. Quick Sight-, in the same stable, is also on the easy fist. as a. result of a mishap during the trip to the West Coast. Fiery Cross has got through a lot of useful work lately, and is gradually getting into condition for some faster tasks. Ho will probably make his appearance next month in the Waimate Cup. '

It is probable -that Mr A. G. Wood, starter to the Canterbury Jockey Club and many ether clubs in different parts of tho Dominion, will officiate at the GreymcAiih Jockey Club's autumn meeting at tho end of April. Biplane did not do a preliminary prior to the Middle Park Plate on Saturday. He Wits a trifle fractious when leaving the birdcage, and on getting him on to tho course Deeloy dismounted, walking -his charge past the judge's box,* after which the colt was led to the starting post. ,

Bisogne is credited with a decent performance oji the first day of the Egmont meeting last week, as he got off badly, and then snowed a lot of speed. Ho lightened up a lot with the race, however, and on the second day failed to show any dash at all.

Tact, who won tho Anniversary Welter Handicap at Takapuna, last week was successful in the samft ovent a year ago, but she bad an unbroken list/ of failures in the intervening twelre months.

The owner of Chortle was recently approached witty a view to selling the big Muitifid gelding, but he whs not' disposed to do business.
