MISCELLANEOUS SPORTING

[By GnEANEB.]

RACING. IRossjendalie’s .reputation as a- sire Ox stayers, goes up one with Rampiou’s defeat of Limerick in A. J. O. Derby. The favourite ridden by Dick McCarten was isimply: 'hot good' enough and notwithstanding' (reports, to the contrary Ramp-ion .was turned out in great fettle-. Beacon Light’s victory lin Avondale Cup. has brought him into prominence for N.Z- Cup notwithstanding his penalty. His owner would dearly love to win the big event, hut there are better sports, in the game, morel deserving of victory than the President of the Southland Racing Club. Commendation and Lysandier split own—a line, result, but moth inks that neither are really good Derby colitis Up bo a .mile both arc crack-a,-jacks, but beyond that distance a good: stayer would with pace on brim the two of t hem.

Two-year old form is going to be mixed. Cimabue, Chclone, Laughing Prince, High Finance and Frenzied Finance all have wimping form. Tcril has won .in H. 8.. Tiallislher has gained place money and is probably the best of the Bay contingent. He has been, sorted' out. as. a likely Wellcome. Stakes winner, then Aura turn and Gasiony must be properly tested' while! Paganelh has shown form.

Full Swing duly eventuated at, Geraldine. Mr Rain's mare wilt be there when the whips am cracking in November. i

Gyrene’s trainer is having a job to keep, the- surprise Wellcome Stakes winner going. Trucullent looked a good bet second day at Avondale, but Gleruotus was. just 100 good. Wharnc,lifi'e accepted second day at Geraldine and duly won..—More money for this fellow.

Bachelor Gay will soon be -in the winning list. Maoriland always races best when fresh. One remembers his first race at. Woodlville when he and Highland were stable, mates in T. H. Lowry’s stables. He can still sprint as his double at Geraldine shows.

Evidently Foxlaw whioli defeated Solar io in 'the Jockey Club Stakes dm England on- 30th Sept. is a horse of class. Solario was second but was disqualified for boning fluid bumping. Sir J. Rutherford refused £IOO,OOO for S'olario last year. First day's form was worth followingl at Geraldine. Fairy Herald and Maori land won both days. _ Oar|n Money was second in the sprint both ■days, while St Bui get was 2ml first day and 'won next time out. Queen Balboa and Xing Balboa have commenced their preparation. tof the summer circuit. Last year the latter horse carried big weights and worn well on several occasions. He lost all form towards end of the season*, but that was not to be wondered at as he was a big overgrown 3-yr old. Nod Kelly is due. for a win very shortly. Ahuriri is now favourite for N.Z. Trotting Cup. Nelson .Derby may not, survive his preparation. Onyx and Jack Potts are two more that may not see the. post in November. . Back Admiral has ,bcen working; well.

Queen's Own is- a bit of (a myetjei'y. Her a ppe a .".a nee al head-(]uarteins will be eagerly lookoi.i for.

Daytime from Now Ha.i-liton is spoken of as. onio likely to taunt aprize fet’oro. long’. Some of the Gone men toil's .ana -sie|nding tlieir horses along now. Labour Day will see many of them trying to till the oat ibin. FOOTBALL.

The curtain dlro-ps on season 19215. H. 8., Premier province of N.Z , tours south ’ and loses more matches thajo! it wins. Too much big football i|n N,ZL, too much -touring. Let. tihe N..ZJ.R FU. take a stand and cut- out half of’ these tours. Build up the club football with home and home inte-rpro- games at the end oi the season. It was unlucky for Slav to lose Skipper Don -Murray and then vi coca pt. Herb Brown, both of wlioim were in great form. AV.atch the pilgrimagei to Hawke A Bay of noted players should Cooke,, Blake, Irvine, Brownlie- Bros. and Pacwai drop out next season. * Cbesley the To -Auto Co-ltoge boy boy played good football with the touring Bay team. Otago- Varsity team had practically an Otago rep. back team -arid; from the form .shown by IMde.nl, Webb, P-acey, Hamm, Stevenson and Co. The Star backs wore- very weak, Campbell and Donaldson being promot ea’ juniors. The Maoris have a “winning” way with them as is shown by their victories over -the French teams andl tine enthusiastic receptions accorded thorn by the fair sex. Ray Bell .is described by one Freimdi paper as being -super-human-. H be saw “Wampy" rout a lew plates ot oysters lie might regard him as supeunutural. . ~ . it is pleasing indeed to foam I hat. Bell, ’Barclay uadis Philips have done so well. - Belli and Phillips were given ’ a raw deal over the selection o-l 192-I-All Biliacks. BOXING. Had- any fan whistled the tune “1 love you” during the Puir-dy-Trowerp light last. Wednesday night, Purdy would probably have sung the words as he leaned on Trowern’is neck. The Troweru-Ja-mito tigh-t in Wellington was a good williing go. Billy Grime is to Ugh I a return battle with Mnrdon (Eng) to whom- lie lost on a foul. Hay and Purdy will meet at Napier on ‘23rd Oct. for the Weller title. J a in.it o and TrowiM’li "ill have theii third, bou 1 at- Greymouth this mouih. Harry Wills the negro will! p-w ha-bly have first light- with new heavy weight champion, Gene lunnes. CRICKET. The local dub has had its annua! meeting and the first practice w a•> held on Saturday . Skipper J. White j will endeavour to build up a team to lift the Burnett Shield.
