NOTES BY PHAI/EON. MORE MUSKET BLOOD FOB ENGLAND. Information from Napier states that Mr. 8. 11. Gollan, who is at present on a visit to England, has sent out instructions to his manager to ship a number of his stallions to England, with a view, it is understood, of their being offered for sale there. The horses mentioned as likely to be selected are: Mousquetaire, by Nordenfeldt from Frailty (dam of Trenton); The Possible, by liorden-feldt-Realisation (dam of Maxim); Stern-
chaser, by Nordcnfefdt—Crinoline; and Pounamu, by Newminster from Beryl (sister to Nordenfeldt). Mousquetaire, who is a full brother to Zalinski and the Australian Cupwinner Havoc, cost the long price of 2200 guineas as a yearling, but meeting with an accident when in training, he did not succeed in winning a single shilling for Mr. Gollan. He is said to have furnished into a very beautiful horse, and his close relationship to Trenton is sure to act powerfully in securing for him attention at the hands of English breeders. The Possible and Sternohaser can be spared without perhaps many regrets; but with New Zealand deprived of the services of so many of the greatest scions of the mighty Musket, I am sorry that Maoriland is to lose Mousquetaire, for. if all is true tout I hear regarding his crop of foals at Mr. Gollan'« station, at Mangatarata, he is likely to prove a pronounced stud success. The continued drainage of all the best strains of the Musket blood fro the colony is much to be deplored, and it can, I fear, have but one effect, aim that is to send us back from the high position which we have attained in the breeding of the thoroughbred. In referring to the probable shipment of Mousquetaire, The Possible, Stcrnchaser, and Pounamu to the Old Country, the Weekly Press sayiMr.Gollan has been in England for some time, and has had opportunities of ascertainingthefeelingoftbeEnglishbreederß, and it may be taken for granted that the English market presents a fair field for a good article. It would be a bad one indeed if, after paying shipping expenses and making a liberal allowance for risks incidental to the passage, there was not a good margin between the English price and what could be obtained in the colony. Mr. Gollan has on his Mangatarata station some excellently bred sires, each good looking individuals, too, and it is to be hoped that in sending some of them to Great Britain he will be rewarded in getting good value in return.'
THE NAPIER PARK MEETING. The Napier Park Racing Club scored a fair measure of success over their winter meeting, held on Wednesday and Thursday last; and during the two days the totalisator investments reached £7233.
In the running of the Napier Steeplechase Mutiny once more showed what a really good little horse he is by carrying his 12st 31b to victory. He was, however, it would appear, greatly assisted to a victory by a mishap that befel Morag (lOst 71b), who, when looking all over a winner with a commanding lead, had the misfortune to come down. His rider, however, quickly remounting Morag, managed to get into second place, half-a-dozen lengths behind Mutiny. When Panoply took it into his head to run into third place in the Easter Handicap at Ellerslie last month, not a few put a tick opposite his name as one to be remembered when next he was seen out. The imposts Mr. Evett apportioned the son of Splendor did not apparently snit bis connections, and as we all know, he was not asked to sport silk again at the Auckland meeting. The Napier handicapper, Mr. A. T. Dan vers, dropping him to Bst 31b in the Stewards' Handicap (one mile aud a-quarter), however, was regarded as such kindly treatment that a trip to Napier was decided upon, with the result that Panoply won his race, defeating Martyrdom (7st 21b), Lotiou (Bst 131b), and eight others. On the following day Panoply was required to carry 9st 61b in the Winter Oats Handicap (Beveti < furlongs), and he succeeded so far in making a dead-heat of it with Moonraker (M 51b), His connections hare, therefore, no cause to regret sending him to the East Coast. In the May Handicap, Westmere (7st 71b). who had for a long time past been running very indifferently, brought about < something approaching a mild sururiss by winning that event from Lotion (9st 41b), Martyrdom (Bst), Panoply (tot 31b), and New Forest (7»t 71b). On the first day, under the same impost, Westmere ran unplaced in the Stewards' Stakes, while under a pound more he put up a like record in the Winter Oats Handicap, run on the same afternoon, previous to his securing a victory in the May Handicap. The son of Escutcheon must therefore be adjudged guilty of getting off a .ather pronounced reversal of form
NORTH NEW ZEALAND GRAND NATIONAL MEWING. Mr. Evett last night declared the weights for the two principal events of the above meeting. A hurried glance at them (for I can do no more on the present occasion than make a brief reference to them) show that the handicapper hag treated the new aspirants for jumping honours with a large degree of consideration. St. Hilda is nicely in with list, and if the son of St. Leger can jump proficiently, he is bound to be dangerous; and the same may be said with regard to Fabulist (lOst 71b), Acone (lOst 51b), and Panoply lOst 41b). In the Great Northern Seeeplochase, Liberator (12at 91b), Bombardier (list 111b), andßarnardo (list 71b) each read well.
AUSTRALIA'S GREAT STEEPLECHASER. Australian advkes to hand show that the dual Grand National winner, Daimio, was shipped to England by the Orient liner Orizaba, under the charge of H. Cutis, and his owner, Mr. 0. Gibson, was also a passenger by the same steamer. Iu referring to the departure of the steeplechase crack, the Australasian says:—When he reaches England Diamio is to go to the Nfehtingalls, at Epsom. Whether he will sport silk before the Liverpool of 1897 is not settled, but the probabilities are he will have a try iu some of the small- winter steeplechases in which winning does not involve a penalty for the Liverpool. The jumping in England is so entirely different from what Daimio has been used to in Australia that it may be considered necessary to race him in the hope of getting him accustomed to the new order of things. No doubt the horse will be schooled first, and if he does not jump quickly enough to please the Nightingalls then they may resort to giving him some practice in public, Some pictures of fences in a recent number of the Sporting and Dramatic News entirely bear out Ewart's views as to the flimsiness of the jumping at Sandown and Kemp ton. The fences are exaotly as Ewart described them, Daimio is a horse used to going over and not through his fence, so ho may be some time learning to gallop through < the brush as the horses shown in the Sporting and Dramatic are doing, but there seems every reason to suppose that at Liverpool the fences have to be jumped and not galloped through. A writer on steenleohasing in the paper I have mentioned says,' in speaking of the Grand National:—" Nearly half the horses entered have no pretensions whatever to jump the country. . . The Liverpool course is different in many respects from any other in England, and for that reason any horse that has once run well in the Grand National is nearly certain to do so again." "Übique," the authority I quote, shows by his writings that he understands his subject, and J am quite satisfied that the Liverpool country is not like the ones over which Norton and Ebor have been racing. This is all the better for Daimio, who is in quite a different class from Norton and Ebor, and is sure to do Australia credit if he does well in the strange climate and can adapt himself to the different style of fence and the heavy going.
THE SOUTHERN TWO-YEAR-OLDS. ' Opinion seems to be a little divided as to which of the Southern-owned youngsters will next season take the lead in the three-year-old contests. "M. Quad," writingin the Otago Witness, says:—"Of all the two-year-olds I have seen out, [ have most fancy for Epaulet, and I should not be surprised if the Medallion— colt proved a really good three-year-old. He is a fine animal, and is built as though he would furnish into a weight • carrier. I prefer , Epaulet to Bombshell, the latter of whom I never particularly liked. He always struck me as looking somewhat effeminate, and although 'he has run remarkably well —and after all this is the best test, perhaps, of ability firmly believe that Epaulet will be found better than Bombshell as a three-year-old." There is also another one, Uniform, at Mr. Mason's stable, the property of Mr. Stead,- who is almost sure to make a name for himself as a three-year-old. Curassow, in the same stable, 'may; prove better than any of the others, but he is one of those 1 heavily-topped colts whioh may not come to
hand' early. If he is nearly so good as he looks, however, I think he is the best in Mr. Mason's charge. Of the public performers in | the Yaldhuret stable 1 prefer Epaulet, Uniform, and Bombshell, in that order, and, if a betting man, would' take the Dudu colt against anything- seen out for the.C.J.O. Derby.; In addition, Epaulet's breeding seems to suggest a probability that he may stay better than the other two. Of course, there are several other youngsters in the north who may be good enough. to lower the colours of the locally-owned animals, and the same remark applies to the south. I have no fancy for Dauntless as a probable Derby winner, although he did win the Challenge Stakes, but prefer his stable companion, Defiance."
SCIENTIFIC MATING. M/ experience of many years, says a wellknown English writer, is that ' crosses of this'' crossed,' on that is so mnch jargon, and that good horses often come without the breeder having any idea of the why or the wherefore. We see the same in the human race. Why is the father a brilliant man and the son often a dull fool ? This is frequently the case, even with the mother a clever woman. Furthermore, if breeding were governed by rule, and that is what ' crossing 'in reality means, why should one horse be a Ben d'Or and his own brother a selling plater? Why should a brood mare throw one good one and all the rest rubbish ? The same sire was employed over and over again. Robert the Devil was a nailer, and his brothers and sisters were not worth a row of pins; and the same may be said of Bee d'Or. The dam of Don Juan bred regularly for nearly 20 years, and Don Juan was the only winner she ever threw. What did Casuistry throw beyond Paradox, and she was sent to Sterling over and over again ? What were the brothers to Musket like? and how would yon compare St. Simon with his brothers and sisters?
THE WAPITI STUD. Major George having decided on retiring from racing, and also from the ranks of breeders, the whole of the Wapiti Stud has been'placed in the hands of Messrs. Hunter and Nolan and Messrs. Buckland and Sons for private sale. Amongst the brood mares there are some of the most beautifully-bred matrons that grace the Stud Book, chief of which may be mentioned The Maid, by King of the Ring-Maid of All Work; Sister Agnes, by Rosicrucian — Peuance; Memphis, by Gang Forward — Palmyra: Moonga, by Goldsbrou|»h—; Hestia, by Grandmaster — Wildfire. Amongst the racehorses in training are the highly bred Anniversary (by Nordenfeldt—Sister Agnes) and Quickfire (by Carbine—Hestia), and should they never earn a shilling in prize money, the blue blood in them will always make them valuable property. There are three yearlings, viz., Admiral Howe, by Nelson — Vendetta; Galileo, by Nelson—Fiesole; chestnut filly, by Nelson—Sister Agues; while amongst tho foals are: Bay colt, by Carbine—Hestia; brown filly, by Carbine—Moonga; bay filly, by Nelson—The Maid chestnut colt, by Vendetta; bay colt, by The Workman—Swiftsure ; bay filly, by The Workman —Fiesole. The two foals by Carbine especially are bound to excite attention, for, with the blood of such an illustrious champion in their veins, they are pretty well sure to turn out well.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. In no previous year do I remember such a large addition to the ranks of hurdle racers as has tins season taken place in connection with that class of sport, and the now candidates for the most part are of such a high class that we may expect to witness some very stirring contests. Amongst the recent additions to the ranks of jumpers is the speedy Flying Shot, who this season has won a number of races over sprint courses iu a manner little short of real brilliancy.
Mr. W. Bobbett, of the Thames, whose popular colours in years gone by wero borne by Lady Norah, Quadrant, Morion, and Patchwork, at Auckland race meetings, was this week in town, looking as well as ever. The plucky little Thamesite was always such a good sportsman, and raced out his horses so cousistently, that his return to an active participation in the sport which he loves so well would be a matter for much rejoicing in turf circles. lam afraid, however, that the "black jacket, yellow sash" will remain unfurled for some yet. Euroclydon, having been allowed to drop out of his engagements at the Dunediu Jockey Club's Winter Meeting, would appear to point to his trainer having still anxiety as to the colt's standing a preparation at the present time. It will indeed lie a pity should Euroclydon's turf career end with his exploits at theC.J.C. Meeting held last spring.
Mr. P. Butler's horses were submitted to auction in Christchurch recently. The following wero the prices paid for the various lots Liberator, by Betrayer —Diana, Mr. J. Oram, 150gs: Au Revoir, by St. George—Farewell, Mr. J. Meikle, 50gs ; Medicus, by Apremont—Miss Russloy, Mr. F Holmes, 36gs; Salvo, by Armament—Eclat, Mr. G. Murray-Ay usley, 42Jgs; Padlock, by Chainshot—Venus, Mr. J. Meikle; 25gs ; Cannon Bull, by Chainshot —Miranda, Air. J. Meikle, 30gs ; Venom, by Chainshot—Veno, Mr. G. Murray-Aynsley, 17gs. As Liberator went back to his old quarters at Mr. Butler's, it is conjectured that he was bought in. Barnardo, who, I may remark, is engaged in the Great Northern Steeplechase, is being schooled over the big fences at Riccarton, and is said to be acquitting himself in faultless style. If all goes well with 'he son of Apremont and Charity he will, it is predieted, more than pay his way during the coming steeplechase season.
Sydney papers to hand this week state that Mr. D. O'Brien has expressed his intention of retiring from the turf, and all his horses, with his establishment, are in the sale list. Ido not think that the astute Daniel contemplates a retirement from the turf altogether; and if he is successful in getting rid of his Sydney establishment, we shall, I fancy, soon have him figuring again in the ranks of New Zealand horse-owners.
The absurdity of issuing quotations on races before the nominations are lodged is pointedly brought out by the list issued by a Sydney bookmaker in connection with the forthcoming Melbourne Cup. St. Hippo, Sternchaser, Pounamu, and Bonnie Scotland, are all gravely quoted, notwithstanding that they are all understood to have had their respective racing careers terminated by unsoundness^
There is no doubt (writes thn " Special Commissioner" of the Melbourne Sportsman) that the " books " got a regular gruelling, both at Sydney and Adelaide Easter meetings, and one of the leading members of the ring laid a bet of a thousand pounds to a shilling that he would never field again at riandwick. This same bookmaker,,besides losing close on £6000 in Sydney, lost very nearly two thousand over the Onkaparinga Meeting. Besides other bets, he laid a thousand to thirty Geometry and Dungan to a Geelong sportsman, and fielded strongly against both straight out. To make matters worse, he backed the double back for £COC with an Adelaide bookmaker, who. so fur, has not settled. The Adelaide bookmaker referred to was "struck" for about £2500 by Melbourne people. A syndicate of three had £1000 of the winning Onkaparinga double, and two Victorian Club fielders hud to receive over £600 each, while another won something like a century from him. Altogether the "books" have good reasons to remember the Easter of 1890.
"Apemantus,"iii Melbourne Punoluwritea: —" We have now seen the last of the greatest mare Australia has ever given birth to— Quiver. This half-champion has on nearly every occasion she has been asked to win answered in the affirmative, and even witli Driseis and Auraria included in the category it is not too much to say that Quiver is j'adit primps the Quiver of Australia. Recently I have tabulated her pedigree to find whence she receives her great excellence, and I can only say that it is through the morvellous combination of all the taproots of the greatest . English progenitors. Mr.' Fordham,' who has purchased Quiver on behalf of the Indian racing millionaires, Ezra Brother?, informs mc that it it the intentiou of the owners to send Quiver to the Old Country after her racing career in India, to mate with one of the crack English sires. If they can sucoeed in obtaining a nomination for St. Simon the strains of blood will nick to a nicety, and the produce a ' Champion of the World." A writer in the Sporting Life, iu referring to " the crack sire " of the old country says : --" I have never bowed down and worshipped the St. Simons to the same extent that others have, though I admit their brilliant powers at two aud three years of age. That my view is the correct one is, I think, shown by the Duke of Portland himself, as according to a statement that I have read there is not at Heath House a horse of any description over three years old. That is not a state of affairs I should be proud of if I owned a large racing stud. It is, in fact, an indictment against the present system of racing. What is the use, except for gambling purposes, of stock that is stumped up by two seasons of wear? I should like to have the opinion of those who saw Teddington, Stock well. Alice Hawthorn, Fisherman, Rataplan, Touchstone, Caller Out The Hero, Harkaway, Chanticleer, Wcs, Australian, The Flying Dutchman, Kingston, Charles XII., Underhand, aud others that ran year after year, adding to their fame as they went on, as to this modern hot-house production. In my opinion Doncaster and St. liatien more'nearly resemble the best examples of the good s old times than any others that I can call to mind of the modern school. As a matter of course they were both secured by the foreigners, Doncaster for Austria and St. Gatien for Prussia. Both came of the Stock well line, which has given us more good horses than any other,
Old Liberator, who showed signs of going off after his efforts at the autumn meetings, is now said to be in capital nick. He is amongst the acceptors for the Hurdle Race, to be run at the Dunedin-Meeting, which event, it will be remembered, he won prior to landing the Grand National Hurdle Race and Great Northern Steeplechase at Elleralie. . - ;' Forma, the 3-year-old daughter of Hotchkiss and Formo, will, I understand, bid farewell to the turf after the Takapuna meeting this month, as it is Mr.' Morrin'a intention to send her to the stud next season.
Mr. H. C. White, the well-known New South Wales breeder, is one of the admirers of Hotchkiss, and I understand that it is his intention to send a couple of his brood mares over next season on & visit to the 1 : son of Musket.
I learn from Mr. D. McLecd that his colt Oscillator has not yet been put into training again at Randwick; but .should 1 he have made the improvement necessary from his ailment, Miller expects to have him in work before long. Hova was made a great favourite for the ; Elder Stakes (one mile and a furlong) run at the South Australian Jockey Club's Meeting, but not moving with his usml freedom, Warpaint made a dead heat of it The owners agreed to run it off, when Hova was again made favourite, and moving in much better style, he beat his opponent by a length. So far there is no announcement of Hoira having been shipped to England; and it is thought that th parties connected with tho son of Ingomar have altered their minds in that respect. The English Derby winner, Sir Bevys, whose death was announced in these columns lust week, died on March 15, as the result of a general break-up of the system, at the age of 20 years. Sir Bevys was foaled in 1876, and was by Favonius out of Lady Langden. Sternchoser, who has at many times shown himself to be a perfect savage, is said to have become a newcharactor in his Mangatarata home. He is now, it is said, quite docile and amenable to discipline. " Mazoppa " writes: I don't suppose there are a dozen trainers in New Zealand. who could show cash or property •sufficient ■ to bring in a steady £200 a year.- Personally, I know of only one who may be called fairly well off. v
The Forbury Park Laud Company having refused the offer of £15,000 made by the Dunedin Jockey Club for the racecourse, the latter body are now inviting offers from those who have suitable land within easy distance of Dunedin, with a view to a change of location.
In endeavouring to put down the keeping of" tote" shops in Melbourne the police secured ten convictions recently, and on one defendant the heavy fine of £75 was inflicted. The Inspector of Police stated during his evidence that he knew for a fact one man at the business cleared £4000 per annum
St. Frusquin, the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas this year, is another great •rack that has to be included in the list of those privately bred. St. Frusquin was bred by his owner, Mr. Leopold de Rothschild. Cremorne, who has not, I think, run a race durine the past two seasons, and who has been out of training for some time post, has just been taken up again, rejoining the team under the charge of J. Alsopp. Latest English files record the death of the well-known trainer, William Goater, at Pindon, on the 22nd March, at the age of 69 years. Goater's association with turf pursuits dates back to 1839, when ho became attached to the Danebury stables, presided over by the late J. B. Day, and started on his own account in 1855. Since then he has trained Rataplan (brother to Slockwell), Coroners Dunmore, Sedbury, Rocket, Dueton, Potrarcb.Cadogan, Tibtnorpe, and other good horses. The Field has a table showing that during the period from 1883 to 1894 inclusive, 317 yearlings brought "four figures" each in England, that the total cost was £503,110 109, and the amount won while in training £215,837. In not one year of the twelve has the total income equalled the total cost. By his victory in theEgmont Steeplechase, Booties lias incurred a penalty of 71b for the Wanganui Steeplechase, which raises his weight in that race to list. A writer in Sporting Sketches says that when Sir Charles Bunbury's famous horse Smolensk© was being saddled for the Derby of 1813, the baronet said to his jockey, Goodison: " Here is your horse, Tom ; ho will do his duty if yon do yours." So small were the fees then given by owners to successful jockeys that Sir Charles Bunbury gave but £30 to Goodisou for winning three principal races—the Two Thousand, the Newmarket Stakes, and the Derby— Smolensk, remarking, as though haunted by some consciousness that tho same miserly spirit* which compelled him to sell the agedj Diomed for £50 to two Virginian planters) would be again imputed to him: " 1 would mako it more, Tom, if .Brograve! had not shot himself." It may be ex-| plained that Brograve was a heavy losori on the Derby of 1813, and blew his brains out after Smolensko's victory, defaulting to the extent of some £10,000: but it is not known that Sir Charles Bunbury's loss was heavy. St. Frusquin is, according to Matthew Dawson, the living image of what St. Simon was at his age. So far as this season's racing has gone, R. Lewis is at the head of the list amongst Victorian horsemen with 39 wins, 24 seconds, and 25 thirds, out of a total of 201 mounts. Kuluine is in work again at Riccarton, and will, it is said, be a contestant in the New Zealaud Grand National Steeplechase in the event of all going well with him in his training. The Hon. Mr. Ormond'a jumping representative, Hopeful, out up badly at the Napier Park meeting, In the Hurdle Race he came down, while in the Park Steeplechase he persistently baulked. By winning the Napier Park Steeplechase Mutiny has incurred a penalty of 71b for the Wanganui Steeplechase, which will have the effect of raising his impost in that race to the heavy burden of 12st 131b. An Revoir will not, it is said! stand another severe winding up. Up to the present Wallace has won in stakes £5881.
The Wellington Racing Club contemplate holding a meeting in July next. Mr. S. G. Cook won the South Australian St. Leger Stakes with The Merry Boy. The Victorian sportsman, Mr. W. T. Jones, has gone on another visit to England. Neptune, the full brother to the Auckland Cup winner Pegasus, this week changed hands.
The Soarer, who won the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase this year, started at 40 to 1. Mr. W. T. Hungerford has selected the namo of Dobbin for the foal, full brother to Whakawatea.
The Canterbury -owned horse Gillie is mentioned as a probable winner of the Wanganui Steeplechase. A French bookmaker was recently fined £120 for "catling the odds," and a sum oi £240 found on him was confiscated.
In a mile match between the English 'cyclist, W. Martin, and the trotter Qsterley, the latter won easily by a hundred yards. Nunquamnonparatns is the name of a recent winner in Victoria. His breeding reads somewhat curious: The Cheese-Ono-Eyed mare. Old-fashioned Hinglish sport, on seeing Wallace : "Oh I 'ee's a chestnut, is 'ee. I caru't stand 'im.>
The English jockey Joe Cannon has just laid out £10,000 on improving his new place at Lordship Farm. Says the Canterbury Times :-It is a melancholy, but at the same time a well authenticated fact, that we, are very badly off for really competent riders. . . '> ■• Mies Nelson, the tbreeryear-old daughter of Nelson and Tamora, has taken very kindly to her schooling over hurdles.' Honeymoon, dam of, the speedy Courallie, died recently at the Turanville Stud. New South Wales,
Mr. T. Morrin has conferred the name of Janet on his yearling filly by Castor from Cissy. St. Prusquin is not engaged in the Grand Prix de Paris. *
