/)• ’A, The Australian-bred trotter Royal Time has been purchased by Mr P. Sharp, of Pctonp. , This- ; will -mark that gentleman's entr.y into the lightharness sport. The Hawcra lad, L. A. Pine, who broke an arm'fit Masterton, will probably lie" out of the Saddle for some time, as the break was li bad one, necessitating the insertion of a. silver plate. . , . j... ■ Mr It rank Armstrong, of Akitio, who has been on a health recruiting -trip to the Old Land, has returned to the Dominion. His friends, both on and off the turf, will be glad to'know that he is again in the bekt of health.

Tilley, as previously- mentioned. Mascjn trained the”'winners Spade Guinea, Lochiel,. Grand Rapids; Nocitliiform and Vice-Admiral. The locally-trained Catcall, who shows promise of turning out smart, is a half-sister by Catmint to Spooney. Cooing, who produced Catcall, was bred by Mr W. .G. Stead, ■ and is by Boniform out of the English-bred marc Ringdove. The Australian two-nplc lccord of 3min. 22 if sec., which Windbag equalled when he won the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, eyas made, by Kennaquhair in winning the Sydney. Clip in 1920. Prior to this week tb,°:. best times in the Melbourne Cup, were Bitalli’s 3min. 245 sec. in 1923 and Artilleryman’s 3min. 24-Jsec. in 1919.

Imperial Purse, the younger fullbrother to Imperial Spark, is coming on satisfactorily in liis track work at Otaki, and it may be. predicted that good results ivill' accrue from liis efforts in the near future. Both Imperial Spark and Imperial Purse, who are owned by Mr C. P. Nash, were bred by. Sir Geo. Hunter, •' Porangahau. Mr J. Sheehan’s Australian trio, Machine Brick, Auto Machine, and Flying Machine, which are now at Christchurch, will add interest to the Metropolitan Trotting Club’s meeting. All three were handicapped loi‘ events on the opening' day ol the meeting, but Machine Brick, which is on 48yds in the liagley Handicap, was tho, only ono Mr Sheehan paid up for. - During the progress of tlie Gore Racing Club’s fixture Mr A. S. Cambridge passed lvilfane on to Mr H. Mason, of Invercargill, at a price round about 601) guineas, and the descendant of Sunny Lake lias joined It. M’Kay’s stable, where, lie will occupy the box recently tenanted by Cupidun, in the same ownership. The list of nominations received for the Ashhurst-Pohangina meeting, to be held on Wednesday, November "18, are, with tlu> exception of the Cup, very satisfactory. There are 27 engaged in the Hack Hurdles, 16 Pohangina Handicap, 16 Komako Hack, -22 Siberia Hack, 24 Raumai Welter, 20 Gorge Welter Hack, and 14 in the Cup, including Imperial Spark, Waetea, Tari, Euphonium and Killoch. New Plymouth lost a good citizen and a .sportsman of the highest rank when Mr Fred Watson answered the last call. The deceased • had few equals as a judge of horseflesh and, together with Mr Newton King, lie was connected with some of the best horses that ever looked through' a bridle in Taranaki. The late Mr Watson took a keen interest in athletics, and in his young days was a sprinter above the average, and also won numerous hurdle races. -, . It is gathered from an English exchange that Mr Spencer Gollan, now over seventy years, is still going well and strong in “Merrie England,” r.s quite recently lie asserted himself by winning the Queen Victoria Jubilee Vase at St. Andrew Golf Links. "While racing on the turf ill England, Mr Gollan won the City and Suburban Handicap with Australian Star, and three years later bis representative, the Hawke’s Bay-bed gelding Moifaa, captured the Liverpool Grand National SteepLcdhtise.
