The only success that came the way of Awapuni trained horses at Masterton were those of Glendhu and Skyrider and strange to say, both were at a remunerative price. It seemed all tho mdre strange as they had been working very well. It was hard luck for Mr Ebb Simpson that he should lose the services of his nice gelding, Streamer. After he pulled up on the second day of the Masterton meeting, it was found that he was in a bad way, the trouble being his near front ' joint, .which has been a weakness in the past. It will be some time before Streamer is again racing. There was no more pleased man on the racecourse at Opaki than the Taranaki owner, Mr. H. Sprat t, when his fine gelfling Mendip scored a meritorious victory in the Cup. The trophy was a very handsome one and any owner could feel proud to possess such a souvenir. Mendip has been racing well, bat unluckily, since the New Zealand cup meeting and his win did not come before its turn. It seems very evident that Oral is going to keep up the family reputation. She is a daughter of Oratress, one of the mest mares that has omr raced in the Dominion. Oral Isoks like being as good, if not better, than her mother. Raineses, who was a trifle unlucky on the opening day, had a, little more fortune than Bonognc in the Opaki handicap on Saturday, and he just held off the favourite. Joy Bird was within an ace of winning pneideally all the way, and at the weigh-, she is receiving she should soon scoie. Teri ran a much better race than oa the first day, Loearno and Spcarmiss were finishing on, but Telieka and Kora Mor both failed to threaten dangir, and Stanchion again ran very badly.

Second Thought handled the ground well at Opaki on Saturday, and finished just too strongly for Roi de Val, who was by no means disgraced with his 9.3. Arrow Boy jumped out well, and really had every chance. Imitation ran an improved race and should not be long now in picking up a stake. Money Mint again showed pace, but just as before, failed to go on with it. Last Crust, winner of the Macura handicap, has not been in work long, but he has lost none of his pace in his three years’ absence from the Turf. Quantum again ran a good race, and Veronese is improving. Miss Ransom weakened over the last furlong. The yearling colt by Arausio from Delphi, purchased by Dr. M. G. Louisson at the Trentham sales in January, has been broken in by T. Lloyd, and will be got ready for spring racing. The dam of the youngster is by Hymettus from Intelligent, by Birkenhead. Rapier has finished racing for this season, and he is on the easy list. He will not be spelled during the winter, but will be kept in steady work, so that he should be ready without much trouble for spring engagements. Limerick has made six trips to Australia during the past three years, and has travelled about 17,000 miles in sea journeys. Gloaming’s voyages by sea represent about twice that distance and his record in this respect is not likely to be approached for many years. ,
