The measure introduced into the Legislative Counoil by the Hon. G. McLean, bearing on the totalisator, successfully passed its third reading on Thursday, and turfites are now awaiting with muoh interest its advent in the Lower House, in order to see in what frame of mind the "Commoners" will accept the Bill. When the measure was before the Counoil there were several amendments moved, one being to the effect that each licensed olub should . furnish a statement of the machine receipts to the Charitable Aid Board in the district in which such meeting is held, the latter to receive half of the profit of moneys passed through the instrument. Mr. McLean advised Mr. Shrimski, tho mover, to withdraw bis amendment, and bring in a separate measure, stating that he would then support it ; but the hon. gentleman was obstinate, and on being put to the vote his amendment was thrown out. It has been before suggested that some such arrangement as that proposed by Mr. Shrimski should be made, but a more satisfactory way of dealing with the question would, I think, bo the imposing of a license fee of (say) £250 & year, such lioenses only to be issued to boua fide racing clubs, and the amount of the license fee to go to the Charitable Aid Board of the district; in whioh the meeting is held. It has been suggested that the Auckland Racing Club should hold a meetiug at Ellerslie on Jubilee Day, but I understand that most of the members forming the committee are against the proposal. However, the matter will come up for discussion at an early date, when the question will be decided oneway or the other. 1 understand that the desirability of inserting a flat race in tho A.R.C. winter programme will also be brought up. Some members are in favour of making it a welter event with gentlemen riders, and if a good field could bo reckoned on, that would, I think, be a good suggestion to adopt. The Jubilee Stakes, of 3000 guineas, run at Kempton Park on the 9t& instant, was won by Mr. il. T. Barclay's Beudigo, whocarried 9st 71b home in front ot Mr. Douglas' Martley (6st l'2lb), and Mr. J. Daly's Tyrone (7»t 91b). Last year, it will be remembered, Bendigo annexed the Eclipse Stakes of lo,ooojovb, run at Sandown Park, so that it inußt in all truth be admitted that Dame Fortune has well looked after fvlr. Barclay and Bendigo. A cablegram received during the present week states that Mr. Barclay has refused an offer of £20,000 for B?ndigo.

The Wanganul Winter Meeting takes place on Tuesday next. For the principal event—the Steeplechase—nine out of the fifteen originally entered have paid up, but though the acceptance is fair, the class left in is decidedly poor. The following are the acceptance#: —Orient, list; Victor, lOailOlb; The Jilt. lOat ; Dusk, 9st 101b; Merrylcgs, 9afc 81b ; Waitangi, 9ifc Sib ; Reform, 9*t 71b; Landaeer, 9st 71b; Pathfinder, 9it 71b. Waitangi i 3 considered the moat likely winner, but I fancy Victor will be a bad un' to beat, if himself. Very little speculation is going on over the Auckland Winter Meeting, and until it is known what hories are coming up from Napier business will continue to be dull. At present the quotations given on the Great Northern .Steeplechase are as follows : —4 to 1 against Silvio; 5 to 1, Omata, Volcano, and Huntsman ; 6 to 1, Faloon. The 107 th Derby is set down for decision at Epsom on Wednesday next. From a cablegram receded on Wednesday, we learn that the unbeaten Baron still figures at the top of the quotations at the abort odds of 6 to 5, and after him comes the Two Thousand Guineas winner, Enterprise, who is quoted at 9 to 4. The Takapana Jockey Club's meeting on Queen's Birthday (Tuesday next) gives every promise of being a success. For the Birthday Handicap, Libeller, 7stßlbs, and Tauiora, Sat, read to me to be the most dangerous ; while Belle, 12at -libs, and Torpedo, lOat 21ba, should be a difficult pair to beat in the Steeplechase. Mitrailleuse has been awarded Bst 81b in the Royal Stakes, to be run at Rand wick on Tuesday next. Notwithstanding the indifferent form she has been displaying of late, the Sydneyites are backing her freely, and by last accounts she was at the top of the quotations, at 100 to 6. As the race is run over a distance (6 furlongs) to which the daughter of Musket is particularly partial, aha shonld finish close to the leaders ; but in Abner (Oat 51b) she will, I fancy, find a difficult customer to deal with. During the present week George Wright has had the Musket—Albatross colt and the Musket—Ouida filly in town several times for the purpose of getting them used to company, etc. The colt is a handsome little fellow, and I fancy he is destined to carry the stable colours vary promineutly. If he is'nt a good one, then pedigree is no criterion, for his dam, was got by Malta out of The Auk, who in turn was got by The Marquis (a son of the emperor of stallions Stockwell), out of Seagull, by Fisherman from Omen, by Melbourne from Stormy Petrel by Sheet Anchor; and the whole being backed up by good old Musket, he must, I think, turn out a racehorse. The Albatross colt has been named Teksum (which if spelt backward it will be seen furnishes the name of hia sire), and the Ouida filly Hilda. After a sojourn of about three months in Australia, the popular local metallioian, Mr. Win. Lyons, returned by the Mararoa on Tuesday last. Judging by his looks, Mr. Lyons comes back to Maoriland in great heart, and it is satisfactory to know that his trip to the other aide in addition to recuperating his health, h»3 been a most profitable one in a monetary point of view. It is, I understand, quite on the cards that Mr. Lyons may go over to Australia again shortly, and if so he may take the Anteros Steppe colt Too Soon over to measure strides with the Australians. In the New South Wales Parliament the leader of the Opposition brought in a Bill to amend the Betting Houses Suppression Acts of 1876 and 1880, which was read a first time on Thursday night. The, scope of the amendment will be to put down the drawing of sweeps in New South Wales. The present system of cash betting, it is said, will also be put down. From Australian papers to hand the same old tale of dulneas in the betting market comes to us, and with the exception that nearly all the available money has been snapped up about Abercorn and Trident for the Derby and Cup, and 1000 to 30 taken straight out about Matador, nothing of any note has to be recorded. For the Derby Abercorn still holds the pride of place, 200 to 40 being accepted about him, while 200 to 30 was written about Niagara. Mr. Lyons, who returned from Sydney during the present week, tells me that many of the soundest men in the ring on the other side have decided not to open books on the double— and Cap—this year, as . they say they cannot 'lay the prices the public demand, Mr. William Adams having decided to give np racing, he has instructed Messrs. Hunter and Nolan to submit to auction the whole of the yearlings purchased by him at the recent Sylvia Park sale. They are five in number, viz.:—Black colt by Musket, from Lady Ravensworth ; chestnut oolt by Leolinus, from Lovebird; brown colt by

Piscator, from Patch ; brown colt by Cap-a-pie, from Jenny Lind ; and chestnut filly by Leolinus, from Miss Laura. The youngsters have never been taken away from the Park, so that it may be taken for granted they have been well taken care of. The sale, whioh is fixed to take place on the Monday following the Auckland Winter Meeting, will be held at Sylvia Park. In the nominations for the Richmond Stakes (for two-year-olds), to be run at the A.J.C. meeting in September next, I notice that New Zealand is represented by the Hon. W. Robinson's Exchange (by St. George—Rupee), and Chainshot (by Musket —Locket), and by Mr. E. Mitchelson's Garter King (by Musket—Rosette), and Bellißsima (by Musket—Pulchra). In conversation with Mr. Stephens yesterday regarding matters at Sylvia Park, he informed me that he is still doubtful of Sylvia being in foal to Nordenfeldt, bat that he has every hope of Onyx having held to St. Leger. Writing on the Hon. G. McLean's yearling, s " Mazeppa" says of the Leolinus— Pungawerewere colt, bred by Mr. T. Morrin : — "St. James is a different stamp of a colt, and to the eye the more stylish of the two. He has the long back that distinguishes many of the Leolinus family, but he is a lengthy colt altogether, with splendid shoulders, fairly-powerful quarters, a rather plain head set on to a nice neck, and exceptionally good legs, on which he stands fair and square all round. When he has done growing this half-brother to Brigadier will be a big horse in every particular except height, and as nearly all Punga'a progeny have tamed out well there is every reason to hope that this fellow will bring the stable a bit of luck." Now that all doubts respecting Ormonde's roaring have been put at rest (Hays an English writer), John Porter, his trainer, has resorted to galvanism in the hope that it will onre him. Every morning a battery is applied to the Derby winner, one point to his chest, and the other to his throat, and as Professor Fleming states that he has cured affeofions of the wind in this way, hopes are entertained that the great son of Ben d'Or may be rendered sound enough to figure in some of the Cup races of the present Beason. Much as one may hope for a successful result from the application of galvanic shocks, it is too much to expect a perfect cure, and I'm afraid Ormonde's chances of victory in long races are very remote. The following are the principal amounts won during the current season : —Mr, J. White, £15,058; Mr. C. L. Macdonald, £4776 ; Mr. W. A. Long, £4331; Mr. T. Sampson, £3136; Mr. W. Gannon, £2865 ; Mr- T. Jones, £2428; Mr. S. Martin, £2239 ; Mr. W. J. Forrester, £1880; Mr. G. G. Stead, £1388 ; Mr. D. Cooper, £1282 ; Mr. I. Foulaham, £1230 ; Mr. M. Loughlin, £1186; Mr. M. Locke, £1200; Mr. W. Strickland, £1050. Mr. White's total is £5S more than that which he was credited with last season. Next year being the centenary of the Australian colonies, the Australasian suggests that the Victorian Racing Club should forward special invitations to the members of the English Jockey Club, the American Jockey Club, and Californian Jockey Club to visit Australia. " Marttndalo " has commenced a series of articles on the " World's Records" in the Sydney Town and Country Journal, from which I cull the following:—"ln England very little notice is taken of time. But here, iu the oolonies, it is of great importance; and there are very few owners of horses who would ever dream of sending their animals to the post without having first given them a time gallop. Many old hands profess to ignore the system ; but I often see these 'unbelievers' with their hauds very deep down in their pockets when their, or any one else's horses are going ; and invariably they are the first to ask, ' What did he do?' Of course, with regard to time, the circumstances in which the feat is performed— whether by a man or a horse —have to be taken into consideration. Many people simply look on the dial of their chronograph ; and, seeing that the hand registers a good performance, they at once jump to the conclusion that they have got a ' real good thing,' and are terribly crestfallen when their opponent defeats them. They then begin to reason out the matter, when thoy find out, too late, that had they given a little consideration to the business before, they would not have lost their money. In the matter of time the Americans have far and away the best records. Now I do not think that this is due to the superiority of their horses over those in Great Britain or Australia ; but it may be mainly attributed to the suitableness of their racing tracks. Almost every track in America is a made one, while those in other countries are not. For many years in Australia the 2min 12sec done by the celebrated Yattendon stood as the record for a mile and a quarter ; but it has been reduced to a considerable extent since then. Now, I don't think that any of the animals which have lowered that record in Australia could have beaten Yattendon in his day; but the traoks at both Randwick and Flemington, then and now, are very different pieces of going. In looking over the ' History of the British Turf,' by Mr. J. C. VVhyte, published in 1840, I find that the celebrated horse Eclipse is generally believed to have covored S3 feet of ground per second when at his top speed. Thi3 amounted to about 25 feet of ground covered at a single stride. It is also recorded that in the great match between Hamiltonlan and Diamond the former covered 21 feet at a stroke at the finish. If this is correct the horses of the present day would have stood a very poor show; for they could cover nothing like 83ft in a second. About the best they do is 52i?t. At that pace they will gallop a mile in about lmin 40sec. which is almost as good as the best in. America, and faster than it has ever been done in Australia. We cannot, therefore, give credence to the statements of the wonderful performances which we read of being done by the famous chestnut son of Marske and Spiletta. As before mentioned, America holds the records. Bat we are up pretty close with them all through, aa the list published below will show." BIST TIMES ON RECORD IN AMEHICA. Distance. Horse. Place.

Though no great lover of Loiterer as a racehorse, there was no getting away from his breeding, and his son Anteros was an equally good bred one, with the additional facc that his dam's own sister had already produced one of the greatest racehorses of modern days in the shape of Lord (Jlifden. The peculiarity of Anteros' stock is that, in nine cases out of ten, if they cannot race, they make good, useful horses for the ordinary purposes of saddle or harness. It is quite true that Anteros has never yet given us a first-class racehorse, as I could not for one moment allow the claims of Black Rose to that position; but I contend that, taking the number of mares put to him, he has produced a larger percentage of gallopers than any sire since Traducer stood in Canterbury, his stock all wear well on the turf or on the road, and his value was never found out until too late. Be has left tho country now, bift I shall always think that, in spite of two or three high-class mares having been put to him, he was a thrown-away animal when ho was sent North. His blood was a combination of Stockwell and Touohstone in a direct line, and acquired additional brilliancy from the speed inherited through Orlando on the dam's side, and Bay Middleton and Velocipede on the aire's side of the house.

of the Derby being Eleanor in 1801, and Blink Bonny in 1857. Eleanor _ had several foals, none of which distinguished themselves; bat Blink Bonny three winner of the Derby in Blair Athol; and " Stockwell, his sire, did not win the Derby, he ought to have done so, as easy as he did the Two Thousand Guineas and St. Leger. It will be interesting to follow the fortunes of this filly foal, as also of another which has just been foaled in Hungary, this colt being a son of Doncaster (the sire of Bend Or),' whom the ; Duke of Westminster recently; sold to the Hungarian Government, and of the unbeaten mare Kinosem (now dead). For the first time in the history of the turf (says an English paper) a thoroughbred foal has been born having a Derby winner for both sire and dam. This is a filly foal by Bend Or, winner of the Derby in 1880, out of Shotover, winner of the same race in 1882. The sire and dam both belong to the Duke of Westminster, at whose stud in Cheshire this filly was foaled, and as she combines the highly esteemed Stockwell and Newroinster crosses, it may be that she will prove an exception to the almost invariable rule that animals bred from winners of great races on both sides are rank failures A combination of this precise kind could only have been possible twioe before, the only two previous female winners Lovers of sensational racing events will find the following account of a steeplechase that waß recently run on the Auteuil course, France, rather interesting :—Two horseß— Trident and Haut-Cloud—were the only htsrters for the event, and, in jumping the brook opposite the Tribune, the former fell, and (jot rid of his jockey, Benson. Charles Cunningham, the trainer, who was standing by, at once oaught the horse, and mounting, proceeded in' pursuit, of HautCloud, At the next water jump, however, Trident again came to grief, sending Cunningham to grass, whereupon Bob Conlttaorn, a well-known jockey and trainer at Mason's Lafitte, jumped into the saddle, but he also came a cropper, and then little Baker mounted. Haut-Cloud in the meantime had got half a mile ahead, but rerobisg (as they say in France) at a hurdle, Baker managed to overhaul him, and eventually won, amidst tremendous applause. All the riders of Trident (Benson, Cunningham, Coulthorn, and Baker) had to go to the scales, and as the horse had jumped the proper course, he won the race. It is doubtful whether such a thiug has ever before happened, and it certainly deserves to be recorded among the curiosities of racing, MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Cash betting is not allowed at Randwick. Master Agnes goes to the stud next season. It is said that Administrator has finished his r/icfng career. The Onehunga Racing Club hold a meeting on Jubilee day. Arsenal, who haß been on the unsound list, is again in work at Randwick. Nominations for the Dunedin Champagne Stakes of 18SS close on Thursday next. The Mnsket -Lady Vivian colt, owned by the Hon. James White, has been named Volley. Gamecock, winner of the Liverpool Grand Natioual this year, started at the long price of 20 to I. "Olympus," in Melbourne Punch, speaks of the Musket;— Onyx filly as " a gem of the first water." Fryingpan, after serving a couple of seasons at the stud, has again been put in work at Flemington. The Wellington Racing Club announce a meeting for July ?9, at whioh £385 will be given in added money. It is understood that the Messrs. Duder will have first call on J. Rae'a services in the forthcoming jumping races. Welcome Jack was awarded first prizes at the Hunter Kiver Agricultural Show, Prince Imperial being placed second. By last advices John Kean had almst recovered from the severe affection of the eyes from which be had been suffering. The steeplechaser Dragon, who was purchased recently in Sydney for £600, was only a short time back sold for £25. George Hope has Coral and Quilp looking very well, and the recent addition, Peter Osbeck, also looks in the best of health. The Australian racehorse Myall King has been purchased on behalf of Lord William Beresford, and will shortly be taken to India. It is stated that some of the leading book, makers of Victoria are between £5000 and £15 000 out over the V.R.C. and A.J.C. meetings. The New Zealand Grand National Steeplechase, to be run at Christchurch on July 28, will have added money to the extent of 400 sovs this year. The Sydney Turf Club have initiated a day's sport in which the whole of the events are to be contested by horses ridden by bona fide amateurs. The opening meet of the Pakuratiga Hunt Club takes place day at Mr. Wills' estate, Otahuhu. A meeting of the club will be held in a few days. The Queensland Turf Club have decided to have a "Centennial Handicap" next year, which will have added money to the extent of 2000bovs tacked on to it, A race meeting held at Canterbury Park (N.S. W.), in aid of the fund raised for the benefit of the sufferers by the Bulli colliery disaster, realised over £300. The Sydney penciller, Mr. H. Oxenham, is having a mansion erected, the equal of which (the Sportsman says), is not to be found in the colonies. Big talk. Cerise and Blue, who was recently reported to be in a critical condition, owing to a fall she received, is now all right. The mare is in foal to Grand Flaneur. Chesham, who ran second to Trident for the last V.R.C. Derby, has been relegated to the hurdle race business, and is said to have taken very kindly to his new duties. The Auckland-bred Rosebud is engaged in the Royal Stakes and Queen's Birthday Cup, to be run at Randwick on Tuesday next, with 6st 101 and 6st 2lb respectively. The Apremont—Watersprite colt, purchased recently in Now Zealand by the Victorian turfite, Mr. A. It. Blackwood, has been placed in Mr. F. F. Dakin'a hands to be trained. The N.Z. Stud Company have nominated twelve youngsters for the A.J C. Oaks, eight being by Musket and four by Ingomar. The Middle Park Stud Company (Ohristchuroh) are represented by four. Turquoise, Libeller, Tamora, Friendship, Catosby, and others, have been bowling along merrily at Kllerslie during the week, in view of the Takapuna meeting, Tamora especially looking and going especially well. Mr. M. Fennelly, the well-known Sydney trainer, who has for a long time past been stricken with a moat painful illness, is said to be slowly improving, but is not yet allowed to go further than tho verandah of his house. I notice from a recent Sydney paper that a horse running there bears the same name (Cuirassier) as Trenton's full brother. 'Chat is rather unfortunate, for should the latter ever go to „the other aide he would have to be re-christened. Fogs in England are famous for their density. At the Sandown meeting in March one enveloped the course so completely that the competitors in a race lost their way, and the other events had to be postponed until tho following day; It io said that Lord Carrington, the popular Governor of New South Wales, recently accepted from an English nobleman, who was out on a visit to the colony, 10,000 to 1000 that the Hon. James White won the English Derby within ten years.

The privileges of the Takapuna races, to be held on tht; Queen's Birthday, were sold yesterday by Messrs. Touks and Carr. Only two lots were offered, namely, the publicans' booths, botJi of whioh were bought by Mr. L. Adams, the former at £14, the latter at £7. The well-known Victorian jockey, R, Batty, met with a painful accident recently by whlcn one of bis eyes was ruined. The accident was caused by one of those abominations in the shape of patent bottles with glass balls. Pressing one of these down very sharply, the whole affair burst, and a large piece of glass flew into Batty's eye, cutting it badly aud injuring the pupil to such an extent that it will probably have to be removed. A writer in an English periodical says :— "A great contractor, who was making a harbour, fancied he did not get work enough out of the men who went down in the diving bell. He felt as if they wasted time, but he could not imagine how. So one day, when they were at dinner, he went into the bell, and there he found seven large crabs, and on the back of each crab was chalked the name of a favourite for the Derby. The men had crab races at the bottom of the sea." Our estimable friend Jimmy Kean is twenty-two carat at these kind of yarns, but I shall doubt his going one better than the above,
