FORM AND FUTURE. Silver Scorn, a three-year-old filly by Silverado, from Contempt, owned by C. Murray-Aynsley, is galloping well at Ricearton. On Saturday she traversed a. mile in 1.40 1-5, the last half taking 40 d-osec. Silver Scorn has only started once, and that was at the Canterbury Jockey Club ’s summer meeting in February last, when .she won the Lyttelton Plate, for two-year-olds, five furlongs, beating Top Thorn by four lengths. Silverado is the sire of Silver Ring, who was held by many to be the best two-year-old in the Dominion last season.

Gay Crest, who has proved himself one of the best stayers in New Zealand, is getting' through his work in good style at Eiccarton, and he promises to be very hard to beat early in the season. In company with Adelphi at It icon r ton on Saturday he ran seven furlongs in 1.20 3-5, the last half mile being accomplished in 52 l-oscc, Ho is due to make his appearance in the Ashburton Handicap at the Ashburton meeting on Saturday, in which ho is weighted at 0.13, but he may need a; race before being quite at Ins best. Dr Louisson intends to start Tout le Mon’d in this race as well as Gay Crest. Gay Crest will be ridden by D. Cotton.

Adelphi,,. a five-year-old gelding by -Arausio from Delphi, won two races last season—the New Year Hack Handicap, one mile and .137 yards at Marton, and the Thorndon Handicap, one mile, at Wellington summer meeting, in which he beat a good field, including Ball Dress, Silvermine, Chrysology and Esteem. Adelphi galloped well at Eiccarton the- other moi'hmg, runningseven furlongs with Gay Crest in .1,29. 3-5, and it looks as though he will not be long in getting on the winning list. Peter Jackson, a popular selection for the Metropolitan Handicap, at Eandwick next month, made his Australian debut at the Canterbury Park meeting (says an Australian writer). Being a stayer, he was scarcely in his element-in the second division of the Flying .Handicap, but he was noted doing good work at the end of the race. Autopay’s antics at the barrier at Canterbury Park, Sydney, on September 3, were not surprising to those most concerned. He has been touchy for some time and has required very gentle handling. Sr. McCarten, told his* trainer, C. Pritchard (says a Sydney writer), that he was upset on Saturday by being kicked on a foreleg quite earlv oi the post. This caused him to refuse to line up. Even behind the field he wotlld not stand straight. Actually he was moving back when the barrier lifted, and then, when he did go, he would hot gallop for two furlongs. Ho atoned by coming home well, especially under the whip, finishing third. W. Duncan’s popularity is shown by the fact that on September 3 more than £IO,OOO was invested on his six mounts at Caulfield, five .being favourites and the sixth an equal favourite. It IS thought to be a recotd. He rode ttyo

winners, two seconds and was twice unplaced. A Maori boy, J. Webby, apprenticed to the New Zealand owner-trainer, A.. D. Webster, lias taken literally the good advice of his master about the wiles of Sydney. He was warned to be careful ol all strangers. He niakes.no mistake, for even when an'official asked his name he replied . according • to plan, “Dunnp. ” He “has made it serve on all occasions, so far ..with • success to himself. The two handicap horses, Grand Jury and Chopin, were running inside their distances when they took on the sprinters in the Railway Handicap at Marton on Saturday, but both ran excellent races. Grand Jury finished fourth, and Chopin finished sixth, both from right back in the early running. It should not he long before both these solid geldings are prominent in their races over a longer journey.

Pnriri Park is thriving exceptionally well on the work F. Gilchrist is giving him, and will probably make his first appearance this season at the Avondale meeting in October. The Treclaro gelding was given a .sprint over three furlongs a few* mornings ago and clearly demonstrated that he still retains his pace. This horse usually races well when fresh and is likely to show up during the spring meetings. During the past couple of weeks Tctrarcliate has hardened up in condition and is now putting plenty of dash into his work on the track. The son of Tea Tray, who has never been' in bettor order, to undergo a solid preparation, will probably he .sent along a bit faster from now on and should come

on quickly. Like the majority of Tea Tray’s progeny, Tetrarchate has abnn : dance of speed and if he goes on ns at present his owner should be fully rewarded for the patient policy he has adopted w T ith this gelding. Since returning to Ellerslie, after being indulged in easy work around the roads, Claremore has come on very quickly and he looks better than ho has done for some considerable time. Most of his tasks are being confined to the tan track, and judged by the way be is bowling along in his work it will not bo long before ho is back at his best again. As there are no jumping races in view at present, Claremore may be given a run on the flat at the Avondale meeting next month, and that should improve him considerably for events ahead.

The hunter, 'Clontarf Bill, has been hitting out "with plenty of freedom on -the few occasions that he has been sprinted at Ellerslie and looks bright and muscular. 'All going wfclHthis hor.-;o will contest hunters’, events at the Waikato Hunt on Labour Day, and he should be in first-class order by the time that- fixture takes place. •

WANGANUI NOTES. CHANCES ASSESSED. Head Lady looked well when produced at Marton, and though she had nov shown the speed in her track work she displayed last season, the Chief Ruler filly was out in front for half a mile. ■She then went back and finished last. This gallop appears to have improved her and she is likely to make a better showing next. week. On Tuesday morning at Wanganui, on the outside of the course proper, Head Lady, with .1. Barry in the saddle, slipped over halt a mile from, practically a standing start in 51sec, the first quarter- taking 26sec. The Weathervane' colt, Midan; did not run up to expectations at Marton, but the race will have done him good. He did not begin well, but was going nicely at. the finish. "Midan promises to prove one of the best local youngsters, in the early part of the season at: all events.

-Copper King did not have the bes* of luck at Marton in the Maiden Race, but he is well forward and the way he was going on at the finish suggests that he will be one of the hardest to beat in the maiden race at Wanganui next week.

The Wanganui-owned and trained All •Supreme, a five-year-old son of Chief Ruler—Admyra, should be handy in the maiden race next week. He is improving with each gallop and is likely to do good service for Mr L. G. Paul. Reports from Fordell credit View Halloo with being in good form. The son of Hunting Song won the Flying a t Wanganui in the autumn, carrying 7.9, and won in 1.12 4-5, and with 8.6 he is sure to be one of the chief fancies in the open sprint next week. F. Tilley expects Farmer, hy Pombal —Jewel of Asia, to prove a good tliree-year-old. Farmer figures in flic Futiki Hack Handicap with 7.1:5 and lie should be handy at the finish. M. Gardner is now located at Waverley with Korokio. This-filly was in great heart when she. loft Wanganui, and if she strips well next week the Red Fern filly, should , make- things interesting in the Seafield Handicap at Wanganui.

PHAR LAP’S S&fiLE TON. MOUNTED FOR EXHIBITION. NEW YOBK, Sopteinber 13. The skeleton of the famous Australian racehorse, Phar Lap, lias been mounted at Yonkers, New York. Today photographs tvere taken of it at the Empire City track. The : skeleton is to- .be take'll for exhibition to 'Belmont track and then sent to Australia.

TAKANINI TASKS. A QUIET MORNING. (Special to “Northern Advocate.”) AUCKLAND, This Day. The weather was showery at Takanini this morning. Greek Gold and Holly Lu ran five furlongs in 1.6 1-5, the former being a length in front at the finish. He wn| doing it easily. Chief -Toy did not please quite as well as Prolyxo over a similar distance in 3,6 1-5. . Imperial Prince and Exaggeration hit out pleasingly over five, furlongs, which they covered in .1.5 2-5. * ; Bisehoff and a Potoa gelding were companions- over three furlongs in 395. Speedmint ran the last half-mile of her work in 58sec.' . Most of the other horses were restricted to pace work; with a. sprint down the straight. They included:

Eldora, • Groat Emblem, the Gay Shield -—Phaola filly, High Comedy, and Koval Artist. ' DARGAVILLE CLUB. PROGRAMME FOE DECEMBER, DARGAVILLE, This Day.' The secretary of the Dargaville Racing Club, Mr ,T. P. Stanaway, at a meeting of the committee held recently. submitted a draft programme for which the total prize money amounted.' to £I2OO. ' ' J' T, ! JP ’ I V, After mature consideration the stewards were of opinion /that the stakes ■ ■ 1 ’ * •.. .* * r\' r ' proposed were on the high side, and subsequently the programme was cut down by £l4O. There will be eigiit races each day. The principal event, the Dargaville Cup, will carry a stake of 145 sovs. The programme is to be submitted to the Racing Conference, and the Auckland District Committee for approval.

. CYLINDER IN DOUBT. | ■ SUNNY SKY RETURNING. SYDNEY, September 14. | The New Zealand gelding, Cylinder, is a very doubtful spring' aspirant owing to an, injured foreleg, which is bandaged and considerably swollen, Supny Shy is to be sent home shortly. Silver Ring appears to have recovered, and the soreness disappeared, when the tan track was discarded • for the : grass track. Silver Ring now is'galloping strongly and convincingly. Peter Jackson, also, is doing well. Gaine Carrington, owing to its decisive victory on is regarded as having a mortgage on the A..T.G. Derby, and is also expected to do well at Melbourne.

TWO AUTOPAYS. UNFORTUNATE ERROR. HANDICAPS TRANSPOSED. : SYDNEY, September M. A mix-up in the weights of two horses of the same name, Autopay, entered for'the Cantala Stakes, has caus erTcomplications. Owing to a printer’s error in the published list the Victorian owned* horse Autopay was given 9.2. and the New Zealand Autopay S.II. As a result the former was scratched. Now it appears that the handicappers’ original list showed the position reversed. The .secretary of the Victoria fracing Club points out this i<J the ohly list recognised. Therefote, the New Zealand hotSe will eatrjt 9,0 in the Cahtala Stakes. Ho tpgtets the mistake in the club’s booklet.
