FROiyi STABLE AND COURSE. (By “Binocular.”) Grand Jury showed an improvement in form at Ashhurst anil the Grandcourt gelding might now continue with it. Gan-pat claimed two engagements at Ashhurst— in the hurdles and in the Cup race. Ho preferred the latter and ran a great third. Habit, while she does not altogether appreciate a mile and a quarter, finished fourth in the Ashhurst Cup after being unlucky enough to be squeezed out at the start to be in tho rear in the early stages. Lavina was inditforontly placed in the early stages of the Novice Stakes at Ashhurst, but the Cockpit gelding put in a strong claim in tho straight, just failing to overtake Lackston who had been in tho van throughout. There was fairly strong support for Harkforrard in the Novice Stakes at Ashhurst, but this younger brother to View Halloa displayed greenness at the barrier and sacrified his prospects for success at the jump-out. Grand Lahu broke down when racing at Feilding in December. The Grandcourt filly burst a blood vessel during the running of the Rauinai Hack Handicap and was pulled up after going little more than throe furlongs. Backers wore well astray in their selections for the Pohangina Handicap at the Ashhurst meeting for Kaihoro, Consent and All Humbug, who were fancied in that order, all failed to finish in the first four. Three of R. E. Hatch’s pupils in W. J. McDowell, L. Faulkner and H. F. Gray were in tho saddle at Ashhurst and all three had the pleasure of riding winners. The manner in which Gray brought White Squall homo rather amused the crowd tor what was lacking in stylishness was made up for in vigour. The win and a second credited Lady Court at Ashhurst were long overdue, and no one will regret the turn in tho tide for the former Ellerslie mentor, J. Manuel, who also owns the mare. A halfbrother, Sir Romeo, raced in the Novice Stakes when he registered a promising effort. Tho Wellington owner, Mr W. R. Kcmball, brought eleven yearlings at the Trentham sale. Six aro by Chief Ruler, two by

Hunting Song, and one ouch by Night Raid, I’apor Money and Tea Tray. Tlio weight allotted Pillow Fight in the Agua Caliente Handicap, to bo decided on March 26, represents lib over_ weight-for-age Now Zealand scale. In New Zealand ho would have to carry 8.4 under the

weight-for-ago scale in -March, and ho has been awarded 8.5. TRIBUTE TO LATE SECRETARY. MEETING OF MANAWATU COMMITTEE. “I wish to make a few remarks in reference to our late secretary,” stated Mr C. Louisson, president, at a meeting ox the committee of tlio Manawatu Racing

Club on Tuesday night. “His oarly demise is much to bo regretted; ho was a very young man of great promise, and achieved most valuable work in connection with his duties as secretary of the M.R.C. I think you all know as well as I do what a great asset he was to the club, while his abilities were well-known by ad the racing fraternity in New Zealand. He -was a man racing could ill afford to lose, lie had great knowledge of all matters connected with the sport and also

had the ability of giving effect to his ideas. We all sincerely regret his loss and offer his wife and family our profound sympathy,” concluded the speaker, who then moved that tire meeting adjourn as a mark of respect to the deceased's memory.
