MISCELLANEOUS SPORTING.

[By Gleaner.f RAGING.

Early last week reports from Sydney about N.Z. horses wore not too favourable. First Sight, Sargon and Eaglet were lame, - while Gesture hud a, cold and Inevitable had been bleeding. Vcliraond, the Derby favourite, was also slightly amiss. On arrival at Sydney Mr Knight .owner) will confer with Fred. Jones on the advisability of pensioning Limerick off. Galmond has come into favour for the A.J.C. and Victorian Derbies, while Oragford has been heavily supported for the Metropolitan. Waterline, because of foot trouble, has gone out of favour for his engagements. Limond and Pombal have some nice foals to represent them in this year’s crop, quite a number being colts. Mollison, the crack two-year-old of his year, may race again at the approaching A.J.C. meeting. His track work last week was sensational. In the Shade, First Sight, Paquito and Concentrate were expected to race well in the Metropolitan yesterday. The favourite, Oragford, looked to have a royal show. N.Z. Cup first acceptances cut a lot of the 7st division out. At this stage Eight March seems the best handicapped horse in the field, but In the Shade, Courageous, High Court, and perhaps Royal Game should be favoured by backers. A two-mile trip should just suit Courageous, which is always just beginning to gallop after ten furlongs have been passed. A s&fprising oaify deflection was Seatoun, winner of Saturday’s Mitchelson cup. What a shock punters would get when Cylinder was beaten in the Guineas. Still, the soft tracks do not suit this fellow, the firmer the going the better-* he stays on. KarapPo wae given a show by northern writers* Along with Arises and Biddy’s Boy he was selected as a likely place getter. Cry so logy pleased in his winning effort. He will do better yet. The Mitchelson Cup proved a clear cut victory for the top weights. Seatoun was nicely weighted. At level weights both Historic and Prodice are; 'too good for him. La Poupee proved that her form behind Colosus at Wanganui was right There she was left by over a chain and finished a length or two behind behind Collosus at Wanganui was right a lot since then so this writer had her ticked oil to clown the King in the Welcome. Barascope is going to be one of our best two year-olds if he in not over raced. Logan Park is stepping out in good style in his Cup preparation. Muriel D’Oro is proving more solid now and must have a show in 1930 Cup. Kohara appears to be nicely handicapped, but as the limit is a short one practically every acceptor will command a big following. GENERAL. Recent wrestling matches in N.Z. have shown supporters of the mat game that the wrestlers .are experts at ‘■grand-standing.” McDougali and Alley do more “ballyhooing” than wrestling. Thye was unlucky to lose his second match against Alley. Artie Hay proved an easy victim for Jack Haines, who knocked the N.Z. boy cold in the 3rd round. Score for G.V. W. Cup took a decided veer round on Saturday. A ilkinson headed the list with 79 and (>B—ll7, followed by Mosley 77 and 73—150, and Macdonald 73 and Silo?. The ladies’ sealed hole handicap was won by Miss E. Clarke. Cromwell' Bowling Club opens on Saturday. The Committee of the club has extended a cordial invitation to any local players who can make the trip.
