Regard, the winner of the First Division of the Telegraph Handicap at Hawera, is a 5-year-old bay mare by Gazeley from Compliment. Regard has been twice first and twice second in her last five starts. Owing to Mr G. B. Starky leaving for an extended tour of England and India, he has decided to dispose of some of his horses in training, and has decided to place Mustard Pot and Kingbolt on the sale list. Roy Reed Informed the writer that he leaves on Thursday for Sydney, where he will do a little riding and will probably return in time to ride at the C.J.C. winter meeting. There were a lot of double figure dividends at the Egmont meeting. It is not often the Reed Bros, go through a meeting without a win, but this was the case at Hawera. Crerne de Menthe has made good at last. She has been expensive to fol-

low, and I wonder how many local punters got evens at Hawera! Some mokes trade on the fringe ol being racehorses, and their owners never seem to wake up to them. Income is a good horse and will bo in the boom next season for big money. The next time Santiago goes to the post he will not be paying as much for first as he did for second at Hawera, when he was not quite ready. One of the autumn plums is Orchid, who will be racing at Wanganui. Correspondent goes well for a mile and a distance, and must be given a big chance at Wanganui on the first day. v Snub is to race over hurdles piobably at Wanganui. The Absurd gelding Moonstruck has been nominated for the hurdle races at the North Otago autumn meeting. The old Banyan gelding Bedford was sold at auction for thirty guineas last week. Canyon has been blistered and turned out for a spell, and will not SP 01 1 silk until next season. “It may astonish the racing men 01, to-day,” says an English writer, to learn that up to 1848 it was'the pi notice for winners of great stakes to make a present to the Judge. lb® custom was a vicious one, and .Lord Bentinck wisely moved the Jockey Club to abrogate it.” The Irish correspondents of the various English sporting papers were in high glee when the last mail left, for not only were Music Hall and Granely, the winners of the big spring double, bred In Ireland, but Pay Only, the winner of the Grand Military Gold Cup, was also bred in Ireland, and ridden by an Irishman.
