FROM STABLE AND COURSE.

(By “Binocular.”) Lord Ranald, well bandaged on both forelegs, did useful work on the inside of the course at Ricearton on Tuesday mornm f»> but hia prospects of getting through a Grand National preparation do not appear bright, a southern exchango 6tates. Tho rising three-yoar-old Hilary, whom F. X>. Jones, trains for Mr G. F. Moore, is still very lame as tho result of a stumble on the tracks recently. Hilary won the Nursery at Trentham on January 22, and promised to train into a very useful galloper. Stallion fees still rule high in Amorica, the leading list being made up as follows: Sun Briar, £1000; Sir Gallahad 111., Gallant Fox, Sun Beau, £600; Teddy, Black Toney, £SOO. Sun Briar, who is by Sundridge, was bred in England. B. H. Morris will ride all F. D. Jones’s horses at the Grand National meeting, this arrangement having been made in anticipation of G. Humphries leaving for Australia with Silver Ring on August 5. As lie will not now bo required to leave early, Humphries has postponed hie departure till August 19, and he will be able to rido throughout the Grand National. One of his rides will be Beacon Fire in tho Winter Cup. i Although Atholspear has had very little experience over hurdles he displays promise, and is just the typo to make a successful hurdler. He ran third in tho Park Hurdles at tho Hawke’s Bay Hunt meeting a few weeks ago and the experienco is likely to benefit him. The three-year-old Aga Khan, who has been under C. Jackson’s care at Hawera for some weeks, has made considerable improvement in appearance, and. is beginning to shape well in his track efforts. Formerly trained by M. Carroll at To Rapa, Aga Khan was much boomed round the Waikato district, but has not raced much. He won a maiden race at To Kuiti in April, boating a moderate field, but is a likely improver, and should be useful around Taranaki tracks.

On several occasions in past years the Winter Cup has been won by horses eligible to race in hack class, and a number that come under that heading are engaged in the mile ovent next month. Tho list includes Beacon Fire, Merry Peel, Ringing Cheer, Consono, Gay Court, Normandy and Saltpot, and recent form warrants several of them being regarded as tho possible winner.

The steeplechaser, Airtight, did not perform esatiefactorily at Trentham, and lias been turned out. He is unlikely to bo further persevered with as a racing proposition. Rising ten year's . Airtight, by Treo Lucerne from Country Air, had his first win as a four-year-old at New Plymouth in a seven furlong hack race. He has been moderately successful over hurdler and steeplechase country, and has won upwards of £2OOO in stakes. At the last Grand National meeting Meprisant was only started in one race the Selwyn Handicap, seven furlongs—and he was *just beaten by Historic. He was entered for tho Winter Cup at the forthcoming Grand National fixture, but was not accepted for, and his only other engagement at tho meeting is the Selwyn Handicap. He has not done much racing recently, but when at his host tho son of Paladin and Disdainful is pretty useful.

TREATMENT OF FOALS. In the horse, whether he bo thoroughbred, general utility horse, or draught, docility is a valued quality, remarks a leading authority. Although many foals appear quiet enough, they do not, as a rule, have much confidence in mankind unless they are handled almost as soon as they arc born If during the first day after birth the foal is rubbed and patted continuously and made familiar with tho smell and presence of a human being, it will in most cases remain a docile animal, but if the first day is missed the best opportunity for its training in,docility will be lost. A HANDFUL. The latest addition to the schooling list is Mr F. Ormond’s threo-ycar-old chestnut gelding Journet (Arausio —Concliita), an intractable rogue who has stoutly declined to yield to any method of reform. It will bo remembered that Journet caused some entertainment at Woodville last December in his first appearances by giving exhibitions of tricks when mounted that are seldom witnessed on a lacccourso. On each occasion he finally Tid himself of his rider, A. E. Ellis, by falling over backwards on him, and on the second day Ellis was so shaken that permission was obtained to withdraw the horse from tho race His trainer, A. McKinnon, afterwards handed him over to a horse-breaker for a sharp course of treatment, but it did not result in his becoming any more docile. Ho won one race, a maiden event at Waipukurati at Easter, but he was not produced oil many occasions.
