MANAWATU RACING- CLUB. A meeting of the committee of the Manaw&tu Racing Club was held on Tuesday evening, when it was decided to apply for tho following dates for next, season:— Summer Meeting, 1932. Monday, December 26, 1932. Tuesday, December 27, ,1932. Thursday, December 29, 1932. Autumn Meeting, 1933. Wednesday, March 22, 1933. Thursday, March 23, .1933. Members’ Entrance Fee,

Id order to meet the existing conditions it was decided that .from July I, .1932, to June 30, 1933, no entrance Ice shall be payable by any person joining or re-joining the club as a member. In common with business firms and other organisations the club is' passing through very difficult conditions and a. larger membership would be of considerable assistance. It is felt that by its prompt and practical assistance in times of local or national stress the club has amply justified its existence as a useful organisation to tho city of Palmerston North and tho surrounding districts, and is worthy of support. The club now needs some help and it is hoped that citizens who arc interested in its welfare will take advantage of the opportunity offered by the committee to join the club without payment of the usual entrance fte. The annual subscription is £3 3s per annum. Future Classic Races, The stakes for future classic races were fixed as follows: Palmerston North Stakes, 1932: 250 sovs. , Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes, 1933: 300 sovs. Manawatu Stakes, 1933: 250 sovs. Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes, 1934: 300 sovs.

TRAINERS' PREMIERSHIP T. R. George is again at the head of the trainers' Jist with 28 wins. E. J. Klim is next with 25, and ’Mrs. A. W. .McDonald, who has 24 wins to her credit, ranks third. K. VOITRE HEADS JOCKEYS’ LIST With Hector Gray out of action for three, mouths tho jockeys’ premiership is almost certain to resolve itself into a contest, between the Awnpuni lightweight, Keith Vnil.ro, and 11. N. Wiggins. Veil,re’s successes at the recent. To Knili meeting sent him past. Gray’s total, nml Keith is now at the head of Iho bidder with 63 wins, Gray (61) being ues 1, followed by IViggins (56), 13. 11. Morris (-11). E. A. Jvccsing (35), A. K. Ellis (31), L. Ellis (33), L. G. Morris and It. Reed (31 each). G. Humphries lias had 80 wins, and S. Anderson 29.

SIMBA TO RACE AGAIN Although Simba, Gic mystery racehorse, is at present in very poor condition and cannot possibly be raced, it is hoped that the gelding will be ablo to Hi no the barrier in about three months’ limn (says a Sydney writer). No racehorse in New South Wales in recent years has been surrounded by so much mystery as Siinba. Ho came into Australia on May 5 last year, and on July 3 Mr. George Guest announced that he was the owner. Little was heard of Siinba. until his mysterious disappearance from, stables at Alexandria. When he was found his eyes wore dull, his ribs prominent, and ho had a thoroughly jaded and dejected appearance. Mr. Guest said recently that Siinba was in very bail condition. He had not had proper feed since lie disappeared, nor had lie been looked after as a racehorse should be. It was his intention, however, to put Simba into training and to commence immediately to give him proper care and attention. “It should take about three months to get Simba back into form,” said Mr. Guest, “and then I intend to race him.” Mr. Guest added that, although Simba might not hold his own with the best company at Randwick, he had every hope of winning on suburban courses with him.

A BARGAIN The New Zealand-bred Vcilmond, which has done all his racing in Australia, is shortly to go into winter quarters. He was purchased for 575 gns. as a yearling and has won 17,778 sovs. in stake money, so that he has proved a bargain. A VETERAN RETURNS Old Nukunmi has been taken in hand again at Hawcra by M. Conway, and he is being jogged about prior to being put into work. It is stated that he has never come in looking better. RETURN OF AMMON RA The brilliant threc-year-old Ammon Ra and the two-year-olds Prolyxo and Closing Time returned from Sydney by the Marama on Tuesday. Although ho was defeated in the St. Legers at Flcmington and Randwick, Ammon Ra’s autumn campaign in Australia was very successful. Ammon Ra will now bo treated to a rest before being prepared for another campaign in the spring-. HUNTING CRY SPELLING Hunting Cry completed his racing For the current season when he won the J, D. Ormond Memorial last Saturday, and he is not. expected to race again until the spring.

BRONZE EAGLE Bronze Eagle, the crack three-year-old, is to be taken' 1 -to Sydney for tho spring racing. He was galloping brilliantly a few weeks ago at Takanini when ho knocked himself, and in consequence could not fulfil his autumn engagements, which was very bad luck for his owner, Dr. Ring, for he appeared to have classic prospects second to none at that time. Dr. Ring states that the colt has quite recovered now, and will be taken in hand again in June, and will be shipped to Sydney at the end of August.
