SPORTING.

IB? FtAXfcUB.) The form displayed by horses at the Eg mont fixture will be carefully noted ii view of the fact that a number of the con testants claim engagements at the Wanga. nui meeting. Recent form points to San Pan (10.13) as one 'likely t> be hard t*. beat <n the Tongahoe Hurdles, while Nga timaru (10.5) has been given a. chance t< distinguish himself. In the Tawhiti Han dicap Grattan (7.13) and Ineuru (7.7) ar*. niceiy handicapped. Of (lie 14 carded ii the Railway Handicap Wanganuiites an optimistic of the prospects of Kaniki (7.4 and Yankee Doodle (7.2). There are 22 ii the Telegraph Hack flutter, and. of thi< number Silver Rose (8.4). The Dodger (B.' and Lord Lupin (7.7) will not want for at mirers. They are a very even lot in th Manaia Handicap, one mile, there bein;. twelve acceptors. Aruake (8.9), Lady Men schikeff (8.8) and Lady Volga (8.6) are wel forward in condition, and should run pro minently. Kilrain (9.1) is at the head o affairs in the Waihi_ Handicap, ore mile, foi lowed by Cdrnelian (8.4). Rangikapu (7.13) looks attractive on paper, while WhitCrane's (7.9) second to Postillion at Wan ganui should secure the daughter of Roya Artillery a following. Lady Georgia, who burst a hoof awhih back, has again been put into work b\ Trainer T. Wilson, at Awapuni. Powde Fox, in the same stable, is looking well. It may be presumed that both Powde Fox and Flingot will sport silk at Auckland as they are being worked right-handed a Awapuni. The Native, who it will be remembercf finished first in the National Hurdles las year at C'hristchurch, but was disqualified is now being trained by J. 11. Preiser, a Porirua.

C. Emerson and Deeley are having a grca fight for first place in the list of winning jockeys. On the first day's running ? Ashburton Emerson was in the lead wit? 50 wins, Deeley being second with 49. Ther. is yet time for our local pilot, A. Oliver who is third, to upset the6e calculations, am" more unlikely things may happen. Mr "Teddy" MeKewen, who passed awa; at Dunedin a few days ago. had been ill fo; some months, and his death was not unex pected. Deceased was one of the bes' re in sm an that Otago has given to tin trotting courses. During the progress of the race in t.h< Fairfield Welter at Ashburton North Pol', got on the heels of Cronstadt and fell, break ing his neck.

Regina Bell, the mare that got disqualified for the Farewell Handicap at Forburv last week, was taken seriously ill after the race with some stomach trouble, and if still in a bad way.

Hoanga is one of tho fittest hordes ir training at, Ellerslie, and will have a good following for the Great Northern Steeples, while of the hurdlers Lloyds and Tho Chef aro reported to be well forward. Armagh and Okaihau were responsible for a smart schooling effort- at Ellerslie on Tuesday. The pair negotiated the sod wall, stand double and stone wall creditably, also the water jump. Along the back th< pace was Mow, but going over the hill they warmed up to it, and from this oul there was no loitering on the way. At the stonewall Armagh raced up to Okai hau, but the latter had a bit the best of tho go over the wall, double and stonewall. Over a similar journey Wobfoot showed to bettor advantage than Oliver Twist. Slaney, Captain Jack and Sphinx. Haydn Park changed hands during the Blenheim meeting. Mr Rutherford, jun.. of Cheviot, purchased the half-brother of Muster Paul for lOOsjns. The Christchurch lightweight. G. Clarke, is ,going- to England shortly to ride foi Mr G. Palmer, who is at present, on a visit to the Dominion. Beacon will in future be trained by 11. Ilk key, at Hastings. It is understood that R. J. Mason con templates an early visit to Australia with several members of his team.

Although Dorando is said to be a bit backward in condition, ho gave a splendid exhibition of jumping on the Wanganui course tho other morning. Of tho other? attracting attention may bo mentioned Allure, Deniso Or me, Phroso, North-cast and Yankee Doodle. Watch Chain (W. McKinnon), Roromi (A. McFlynn), and Manuwera (11astedt • were given a round over the hurdles at Ellerslie. In negotiating tho fourth ob staclo Roromi, who was in the lead, fcl. heavily, and McFlynn was struck am", knocked along by Manuwera. lie war picked up much shaken and bruised, but was able after a while to walk about.
