FROM STABLE AND COURSE.

(By “Binocular.”) The Whangarei Racing Club advises that Muskoon was an acceptor for the Maungatapere Handicap. Since being kicked at the start of tho Easter Handicap, Star Artist has been an absentee from the tracks. Royal Sceptre, who was sold at a small figuro at tho Reefton meeting, is to be turned out during tho winter months. W. McConkey, private trainer to Mr W. R. ICemball, has 12 horses in his stable at Trentham. The majority aro yearlings. Second Wind is back racing in Western Australia and he was narrowly beaten into second place in the Metropolitan Handicap at Perth. He is now 8 years old. Silvor Ring is a regular visitor to tho Riccarton tracks. Ho will not do any more racing this season and may be sent to Australia in tho spring. Kinross (Psychology—Valley Rose), who gave fair promise as a hurdler last winter, nas joined up with J. Jones’s team at Hastings. He is to be tried in the steeplechasing branch. Anemometer is to bo tried over hurdles. As she is the right stamp for a jumper she may prove to be more profitable in that department than she has done 'on tho Hat. Syivan Dell is also spoken of as a likely recruit to the game. L’Allegro did not have the best of the running on either day at Avondalo (comments a Waikato writer). On the opening day lie was checked on several occasions, while at tho second essay he lost his pcsi-' tion along the back. Manetho appears to have made a good recovery from the trouble that caused his retirement a few weeks ago, as he shows no signs of unsoundness (writes “Argus”). It is the present intention to have him ready to resume racing in August. Running out on Mr H. Hassall’s homestead in the Hawke’s Bay are a couple of line youngsters by tho defunct Garter Blue (imp). One is a yearling from Minsk, dam of Carinthia and Currajong, and the other a two-year-old from Soutra (imp), a mare that Mr Hassall brought from England. One of the rising two-year-olds being educated at Hawera for next season’s racing is a half-sister to Jonathan. The filly is by Limond from the imported maro Joanfax, and she is being prepared by J. Brown, who is also educating a relative to Whenuakura. Mr C. M. Emanuel has decided to send his two-year-old filly Capris to Australia, and she will be shipped to Sydney on April 27. Capris is a fine type of filly by Captain Bunsby from Charis, and in three starts has registered a third, a second and a first, winning the Victoria Handicap on the second day of the Auckland Racing Club’s autumn meeting. Capris will be trained at Randwick by G. Price.
