The meeting being promoted by tho Auckland Racing Club to take place at Ellerslie on Thursday next, has every appearance of drawing a very large and brilliant gathering together. His Exoellency thatGovomor Lord Onslow, Lord Carrington (Governor of New South Wales), Admiral Lord Charles Scott, Captain Bosanquet and officers of the H.M.s. Opal, have replied to the club's invitation, and have all signified their intention of being prosent. The programme to be gone through is a varied one of seven events, as follows :—Handicap Maiden Plate, one mile and a quarter ; Handicap Hurdle Race, two miles ; Juvenile Handicap (for two-year-olds), six furlongs ; Jubilee Cup, one mile and a-half ; Handicap Steeplechase, about three miles and a-half ; Selling Handicap, seven furlongs ; Flying Handicap, six furlongs. In commemoration of the Jubilee of the colony, the committee have decided on throwing the gates open free to tho public, and with fine weather, the meeting should draw r. <e of the largest attendances that has ever assembled at Ellerslie. Mr. Evett come* up from Napier by tho steamer due on Monday next, for the purpose of framing the handicaps, which will be declared on the Wednesday evening at nine o'clock. JUBILEE MBETINO AT TAKAPUNA. From the character of the acceptances and general entries received last night for the various events of the Takapuna Racing Club's Meeting, which takes place on Wednesday next, there seems every promise of an excellent afternoon's sport. During the past twelve months the club have spent a large sum of money in enlarging and improving their course, and during a recent visit to the ground I was much impressed with the thoroughness of the whole work. The new course, which is oblong in shape, is just under a mile round, the straight on each Hide being 'Ilk ohains in length. Special care has been taken so as to make the gradient at each turn easy, in order to guard against accidents, and Mr. Eweu Alison informs me that the running track iu no part will bo leas than 68 feet wide, while the rise and fall over the whole track will not vary 3 feet. The race meetings at Takapuua have .always enjoyed great popularity, and now that the club has raised their course to the position of one of tho best in the district, we may expect even greater patronage to be showered upon their gatherings. SILVER KINGS. The Victoriau turf is indebted to the " silver boom" for three valuable acquisitions in Mr. W. R. Wilson Mr. E. G. Brodribb and Mr. Sylvester Browne, the first named of whom has recently launched out , in spirited fashion, and with ordinary luck he bids fair to become the contra! figure in our racing arena. Following the examplo of Mr. James White, he has signified his intention of embarking in the joint enterprise of breeder and owner of racehorses, and his initial efforts show that he means to carry out the project on comprehensive lines. By starting with Rokebyand Dorothy Mr. Wilson did not receive very much encouragement, and it was not until the late Joe Morrison succeeded in placing a winning polish on Chetwynd at the last V.R.C. Autumn Meeting, and Corngan swept the decks with Sluggard at the same reunion, that the " white jacket, cardinal seams and cap" first came into prominence. Shortly afterwards Mr. Wilson undertook a trip to England, transferring the whole of his team to the care of Mr. C. L. M'Donald before taking his departure. When ! in the old country Mr. Wilson decided to ! procure the nucleus of a breeding stud, and with that Aid in view he first of all purchased the well known performer Eiridspord (foaled in 1334), a son of the famous Isonorny and SousioQueen (Musket —Highland Lassie), who won the Epsom Grand Prize of lOOOsovs, the Newmarket Derby, and the Liverpool St. Legor in the colours of " Mr. Mauton" (Duchess of Montrose). His next purchase | was Castor (foaled in 1883), by Zealot from the Sterling mare Lady Yardley. This horse is a splendid performer, having won close on 20 races, including the Gimcrack Stakes (York), Manchester Autumn Plate, Her Majesty's Plate at Bath, Caledonian Cup at Edinburgh, and finally the Liverpool Cup. Both these stallions, together with some wellbred brood mares and a throe-year-old filly by St. Simon from Larissa (KitiK of the Forest— Acropolis) are expected to arrive at the end of the month by the Gulf of Mexico. "selling" raoks. There is one class of races that I should certainly like to sea wiped out of our programmes, and these are selling races, for as a rule there is always more or less " fixing up" done over thorn. When the new rule was i introduced bearing on these particular races, by which it was laid down that half the surplus over the selling price of the winning horse should go to the owner of the second, it was on almost every hand received with much approbation; but, from what I have seen on several occasions, it has been made very plain to me that certain owners have had their horses steered for second rather than first honours, presumably backing the winner to make up the difference. The Selling race run at Onehunga on Saturday last furnished a good case in point, and from what I saw of that particular race, I should think that the number of live 'una that contested was extremely limited. There has been a good deal of talk over this race, and it will not be safe for the parties to again try their littlo tricks on, or thoy will probably find themselves on the black list before longa place that some of them should certainly nave occupied long since had they received their deserts. A DKIrUNOT HKKO. Southern papers to hand announce the death of the stallion Guy Faux, who, though a sad failure at the stud, was one of the most honest and consistent racehorses of his time. In 1876 Guy Faux carried the steadier of 9st 101b to victory in the C.J.C. Handicap, and the Canterbury Cup, run at the same meeting, also fell an easy prey to him. In the following year ha carried' 9st 81b to victory in the Wellington Cup. Guy Faux, who was got by the imported Ravensworth from the Sir Hercules mare, Fidget, was foaled in 1871, so that be was well into the sere and yellow leaf at the time of his death. THE HON. J. WHITE'S DERBY CANDIDATES. On the occasion af the complimentary race meeting to Mr. Andrew Town, held at Randwick on the 4th inst., turfites had an opportunity of inspecting the Hon. James White's Australian candidates for the English Derby and other classic events of 1891. The youngsters are the brown oolt Wentwortn (full brother to Dreadnought), by Chester from Trafalgar, bay colt Nepean, by Cheater from lolanthe (winner of Maribyrnong Plate, 1883), and bay filly Mons Meg, by MartiniHenry from Malacca. The well-bred trio, compared with the colts already sent to England, appear to ba built on larger lines, and showed good action. The youngsters leave for England on the 22nd February. Mr. White has expressed his determination to put all his best horses to the English test during the next few years, and in order to render the experiment purely Australian he is desirous of having them both brained and ridden by Australians. In ail probability Tom Pavten will be induced to assume

charge of the invading contingent next year, bat no similar prospect is vouchsafed regarding Hales, who is at present not favourably disposed to the idea of undertaking a trip to the Northern Hemisphere. His health has been uncommonly good of late, and he is apprehensive that the change of climate would be conducive to a return of his old complaint— A SPBEDT SPRINTER. Fishwife, who recently won the Standish Handicap si Flemington in easy fashion under the heavy impost of 9st 71b, it said to be one of the fastest sprinters in training, and should she not be too severely treated will take a deal of beating in the Newmarket Handicap. Speaking of Fishwife's victory m the Standish Handicap, " Augur " says :— " So easily did she dispose of her field that I question very much ft she could not beat Sedition over six furlongs at even weights ; in fact, Boz or Carbine might have some difficulty in shaking her ou in a run up the straight." Fishwife was got by King of the Anglers from Nameless, who in turn is a daughter of Panic and Louise. ATOTIU.LIAKB ANT) TUB ENGLISH TURK. Word comes from Melbourne to the effect that Chicago was shipped to England by the a.B. Orient, which left on Saturday last, with the view of measuring strides with English thoroughbreds during the coming rear. Chicago, who ie by the Drummer from CoriBande, was bred by Mr. F. Reynolds at Tooal, and such a wall bred and speedy oustomer should be able to hold his own on the British turf. Chicago was accompanied by the wellknown hunter Otoa, the property of Mr R. S. Wakloy, who, while visiting England during the next 12 months, intends to take part m the excitement and pleasure of the chase. A SUCCESSFUL STALLION. Golopin heads the list of winning stallions for the past season in England, his stock having won 22 races, value £43,516 13s. Galopin. when a foal, was bought with his mother for 100 guineas, and being nil of what some of the " scientific " students of breeding called "the accursed Blacklook Wood," he was not much thought of until he proved his worth as a racehorse. Among other races he won the Derby in 1875. As a stud horse he has proved a wonderful .success, and, among other cracks, he hue sired such wonders as St. Simon and Donovan. Just now it may be interesting to breeding sti dents to Bay something about his pedigree. He is by Voltigeur's son Vedette, who was in his time the best horse in England Voltigeur, the sire of Vedette, was by Voltaire (son of Black look), and Vedette's dam, Mrs. Ridgway, was by Birdoatcber from Nan Darrell, by Inheritor from Nell, by Blacklook. Then Flying Dutchess, the dam of Galopin, was by Flying Dutchman from Merope, by Voltaire (son of Blacklock). Galopin, therefore, is full of what some of the broedine students of England were C leased to call " the accursed Blacklock lood." St. Simon, one of Galoprus beet sons, was one of the greatest horses of his time. After several successes as a two-year-old ho was deprived of the chance of starting for the Derby through the death of his nominator, Count Batthyany, but be won the Ascot Cup easily, beating a great horse in Tristan, and others ; won the Gold Cup at Newcastle, and finished up his career by winning the Good Tood Cup, beating the St. Lexer winner, Ossian, by 20 lengths. St. Simon, with his sire, has helped to revive the Voltigeur line, for lie is third on the list with 34 races won, value £24,286. This is a splendid record for so young a stnt' horse, it being the first season's stock that .an. Hampton, by Lord Clifdcn, is second, with 26 victories, value £35,293 ; An Isouomy, by Sterling, is fourth with £20,8-11. Then follow Springfield, by St. Albans, 32 races, value £13,242; Wisdom, by Blinkhoolie, 32 races, value £12,010; Hermit, by Newininster, 32 races, value £11,031. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. From an advertisement appearing in another column, it will be seen that a meeting of the shareholders in the New Zealand Stud Company is called for the 3rd of February, when business which may necessitate the winding up of the company is to be brought forward. The Muskot family may be expected to occupy a very prominent place in the weights for the Newmarket Handicap and Australian Cup this year, as in each race the defunct son of Toxopholite is represented by the following powerful quintette : — Carbine(4yrs), Maxim (syrs), Man ton (4yrs), Cuirassier (4yrs), and Tirailleur (3yrs). The weights are due on Monday next, and they will no doubt lie cabled in time for publication in the Herald of Tuesday. la conversation with one of the owners of Cuirassior yesterday, he informed me that it has been definitely decided tf> send the son of Musket and Frailty to Australia, and that they are only awaiting advices from Melbourne to fix the exact date of his departure from Auckland. From a reliable source I learn that the sum offered by Mr. W."R. Wilson for the St. Albans Stud and estates was £70,000. Mr. Crozier stood out for an additional £10,000, which Mr. Wilson declined to give. Katinka, who won the double Turanga Stakes and Firing Handicap at the Poverty Bay Turf Club's Meeting, last week, is the property of the Hon. Captain Russell. She is a four-year-old daughter of Foul Play and Katie Fergiiffson. Katinka is extremely well in at the Egmont Racing Club's Meeting, beiug weighted at 7st in the Cup, and at fist 81b in the Flying Handicap. In the first named race Katinka will, I> notice, have to put up a 51bs penalty, owing to her victory at Poverty Bay, so that her impost will be raised to 7st 51b. At the recent A.R.C. Summer Meeting there was some growling over the nature ot gorse feuce situated near the five-furlong post, which some of the riders characterised as a trap. Mr. Percival informs me that he has had the obstaclo altered on the landing side, winch has been reduced in height to 3 feet, and thus, it is hoped, will pacify those who have been urging for an alteration. Mr. E. D. Halstead, the well-known "vet.," continues to make satisfactory improvement from the attack of fever from which he has been suffering for some time past, and was able to take a short drive in his buggy during the present week. The committee of the Auckland Racing Club yesterday passed the following programmes : — Whitford Park (February 12), Maungakarumea (February 6), Rotorua(February 20), and Cambridge (March 17). The committee of the Auckland Racing Club held an enquiry yesterday afternoon into the running of the horse Barber, at ths reeeut Dairy Racing Club's Meeting. It was decided to disqual"y the rider, Hawkins, for a period of twelve months. After the quoting of the rule with regard to two-year-old racing it seemed as if the projected mile match between the three-year-old Cartridge and the two-year-old Souvenir for £50a-side would be knocked on the head, but this is not to be the case, as the match will, I understand, be brought off at Ellcrslio this afternoon.

Nelson is the only province in the colony where racing does not progress. So far, the Metropolitan Racing Club lias not hold a meeting, and indoed has not yet issued a programme. The title of "Sleepy Hollow" seems to be well applied.

It is stated that the Hon. Jaa. White recently received a cablegram from England asking him to put a price upon Abercorn, but the answer returned was that the great son of Chester and Cinnamon was not for sale. It is understood that the inquiry was made on behalf of the astute Captain Machell. The Sydney correspondent of the Melbourne Sportsman writes :—" Last woek I had a look at Niagara, who lias been on the retired list for some months past. He is in great heart, and iust ready to go into work. His owner thinks of having another trial with him, the vet., Mr. Stewart, having an idea that he can fix the horse up, so that lie will stand a preparation. I very much doubt it. There does not appear to be any danger anticipated from the old trouble in the fetlock, but the other leg: has a most suspicious appearance, and I think it is any odds that we will never soe the son of Anteros and Frailty sporting hie owner's colours in anything like proper form. Wally Clifford, the well-known jockey, has not yet thoroughly recovered from the serious accident that, befel him while riding Whisper at Napier Park in October last, and he has gone to the Hot Lakes district, in the hope of mending his health. The New Zealand-bred Pretender, who was recently taken over to Victoria, distinguished himself on the 7th inet. at tho Mentone meeting by winning the Trial Stakes from a field of seven. He was raced in the name of E. Kelly, and was ridden by " Kaiser" Myers. " Rata," in the Otago Witness says:— is said, too, by those who attended the recent Auckland sales that Nordenfeldt is likely to make another Musket in regard to getting racehorses. Mr. O'Brien says he liked the Nordenfeldt—Crinoline colt better than anything sold at Sylvia Park, notwithstanding the price realised for the Nolly Moore colt. I have seen none of this season's yearlings by Nordenfeldt yet, but I strongly suspect that some of the two-year-olds by that sire will be heard of in the back end. The turfites of the old country are apparently beginning to realise the great strides Australasia has made in the science of horse breeding, for the English correspondent of the Sydney Town and Country Journal says : —" There is a general consensus of opinion that we musk look to Australia in future for stayers; and Captain Mftchell, one of the most astute judges that the old country possesses, is very anxious to purchase a real good colonial-bred horse to raoe for a season, and thou put it to the stud. It is said that he was in treaty for Abercorn, but that Mr. White wouldn't sell. How about Carbine. Would Mr. Donald Wallace part with his favourite? If so, he might almost ask any figure with a very good chance of getting it.

Lord Carrington denatdd £20 to the Town testimonial fond. _ , . . , Tennyson (by Anteroa—Fancy) was shipped to Tasmania last week. Rangitikei Racing dab are contemplating the building of a new grandstand. The latest novelty in Sydney is pony racing by the aid of the electric light. It is said that the jockey R. Kidd intends coming back to New Zealand shortly. Teddy YuQle (by Anteros—Atalanta) was sold recently in Sydney for 55 guineas.. The South Auckland Racing Club intend holding their Autumn meeting on April 12. A race meeting is promoted in Sydney in aid of the funds of the Parramatta Hospital. There is loud lamentation on all rides ou "account of the decadence of cross-country horses. . 100 _ Meltou, the Epsom Derby winner of 1885, has been sold by Lord Hastings to the Italian Government for lO.OOOsovs. An effort is to be made to introduce the proxy system of voting at the annual and special meetings of the V.R.C. Great Western, who won the V.R.C. Grand National Steeplechase in 1882, was sold recently in Melbourne for 11 guineas! In a recent Galloway Handicap run at Sydney the Auckland-bred Signess was awarded the welter weight of list 121b. Mr. J. J. Miller has placed his trotting sbud in the sale list. Incladed is the American imported trotting stallion Red Wind. It is stated that Mr. Leslie McDonald is to have the management of Mr. W. R. Wilson's stable, but that J. Munro will act as trainer. J. J. Russell arrived on Thursday last from Taranaki with the jumper Takapau, who is engaged in the Hurdle Race and Steeplechase at Takapuna. The Auckland Racing Club has declined to allow Tatter sail's Club the use of theEHerslie racecourse foi* the purpose of holding their animal race riveting. From Australian papers to hand I gather that Carbine is doing splendid work at Flemington, and he is said to move with all the freedom of a juvenile. The Auckland-bred pony Crosspatch won t' ■: principal event at the Sydney Driving Park s Meeting, on the 10th instant. She started favourite at 5 to 4. Mr. J. K. Saville's total winnings during the recent English racing season was 1149 sovs, the proceeds of four races won by the Australian bred Ringmaster. Lady jockeys are the latest novelty in Indian races. At a recent meeting at Akyab, British Burmoh, lady-owners contested two pony races—a flat and a hurdle race. The Dublin Irish Times states that the sum of £11,000 has been offered for the Irish blood sire Barcaldine, and that the owner, Lady Stamford, has refused the offer. Dreadnought and Singapore are both said to be doing capital work, and if the latter goes on all right, he will show that his running at the V.R.C. Spring Meeting was all wrong. Chintz, who recently won the Bagot Handicap at Flemington, is said to be one of the best fillies that the Australian turf has soon. She is a daughter of First King and Hvpatia. Mr. C. J. Penfold, the Secretary of the Canterbury Jockey Club, who has been on a visit to the Old Country, is expocted to return to Chrietchurch about the end of the current month.

Though the attendance at the Onehuuga Racing Club's meeting, on Saturday last, was poor, and tickets were limited to 10s, £1636 passed through the machines during the afternoon. *

The New Zealand trainer W. Milne, who is following his profession in Sydney, has undertaken the tuition of Mr. West's string of racehorses, including West Lynn, East Lynn, Lindsay, etc., at Canterbury. The Canterbury Times states that Mr. D. O'lirien. who has just received most satisfactory accounts of his two-year-old colt Whimberel, proposes to make another trip to Australia in about a month's time. It is anticipated that the fund instituted by the public of Sydney for Mr. Andrew Town, who is financially involved, will reach £3000 with the subscriptions and proceeds of the complimentary race meeting. Melbourne Punch says : " It is extremely questionable whether in the old convict days there was greater rascality perpetrated than is committed nearly every day in the week on Victorian suburban racecourses."

The English jockey, T. Loates, will next year receive £1500 from Mr. Milner for first call on hie services, whilst Mr. Blundell Maple will give him £750 for second. Not so bad for a lad of 21 years of age. The (lying Newateaa, who won a Maribyrnong Plate and beat the mighty Malua at weight-for-age started for the New Year's Gift in Adelaide the other day, but broke down, his troublesome leg having given way again. Over in France, M. Lupin, who has been connected with the turf for the long period of 55 years, was last season at the top of the winning owner list, his total being 22,800 sovs, L e best season the veteran has ever experienced. It is stated that the Hon. D. S. Wallace intends paying a visit to England after the V.R.C. Autumn Meeting, and it is (says '' Augur") just possible that his colours may at no distant date, be carried in England by one of his horses.

An American exchange is responsible for the statement that Messrs. Miller and Sibley, of Franklin, Pennsylvania, have declined fin offer of 36,000 dollars for the yearling oolt Electric Bell, full brother to the noted trotting stallion St. Bell. Galopin's list (150 guineas) is full for the next two seasons; but Isonomy tops the French-bred horse with a full list for next season at 200 guineas each marc, and 2.10 guineas the following year. Hampton is also full at 150 guineas for next year. The American Turf Congress the other day declared that no dash races less than a mile shall be run by three-year-olds and upward, and this course is being daily more and more strongly endorsed by all the leading turf papers and sportsman in the United States. An English writer, commenting on the Derby, remarks: Of one thing we may be certain, and that is, that the presence or the Australian colts in this year's blue riband will give an interest to the Derbv of IS9O which has long been lacking in the great Epsom event. Another batch of tobacconists wore prosecuted in Sydney recently for combining totalisators with their ordinary business. Fines 01 £50 and costs were indicted, and the delinquents were informed that a repetition of the offence would entail £100 fine, or imprisonment without the option of a penalty. At the settling over the Gisborne Racing Club's Meeting of £f>94 paid in stakes only a sum of £103 was taken by visiting; racehorses. The owners of the totalisator handled during the two days £4051. The hurdle-racer Tim has been sold to Mr. Aitken, of Napier, for £00. The Riccartou correspondent of the Referee writes :—" It appears to me that Merrie England, notwithstanding his light impost, will prove an unprofitable investment for the Dunedin Cup. Ha is very fat, and 1 doubt greatly whether his trainer will be able to strip him pink for the big race at the Forbury.' The English correspondent of the Sydney Town and Country Journal says :—" 1 went to Newmarket recently to try and pick up a tip about the two Chester colts I could not learn very much. But the balance of opinion among good judges bears onfc what I had previously heard, that they were good 'uns to look at, but bad 'uns to go." After the announcement that the Victoria Racing Club intended to raise the added money to the Melbourne Cnp to lo,ooosovs, it was thought that the Australian Jockey Club would increase the Sydney Cup to 3500sovs, but the conditions are to be the same as last year, the added money remaining at luOOsovs.

It is computed that the value of the English Derby this year will be £6480. There were originally 237 horses engaged in the "blue riband;' 63 paid lOsovaeach, 114 paid 25sovs each, and the 60 that remain in arc liable for 50sovs each, which makes up the stake as quoted above. The privileges of the Takapuna races, to be held on Anniversary Day, were sold yesterday by T. M. Jackson ana Co. The gates were purchased by Mr. Alison for £115; the grandstand bar by Mr. Hawkins, for £125; Nos. 1 and 2 booths by Mr. Quinlan, for £31 and £22 respectively; and the refreshment stalls, for £5, by Mrs. Mcintosh. The privileges of the. A.R C.- Jubilee Meeting, to be held on the 30th instant, were also offered by Messrs. Jackson and Co. The cards were bought by Mr. Bloomfield for £45; the grandstand bar, the lean-to bar, and No. 1 booth by Mr. Quinlan at £26. £42, and £25 respectively ; and the No. 2 booth by Mrs. Zeigler at £22.
