ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. J.H., phaupo.-Grand FUneur was got by Yattendon. You are wrong in your contention that Malua was the first wioierol the Melbourne Cup to claim a descendant who also won that nice. Biafo (by Grand FUneur) won in JBB3. It was not UMil 1891 that Malfolio (by Malua) scored. Hemar4.-Koul Shot did aot race after he was three yean old. Trenton aid Carbine each raced at five years old.

NOTES BY PHAETON.

THE AUCKLAND B ACINI! CLUB. The annual meeting of members of the Auckland Racing Club was held on Monday last, and as was fully expected would be the case, the report and balance-sheet presented proved to be of a most satisfactory nature; in fact, the all round success achieved daring the season so eclipsed that of all previous yean aa to constitute a record, both from a racing and financial point of view. In moving the adoption of the report and balancesheet, the Chairman, Mr. T. Morrin, in a few criip remarks,- pointed out the improved state of the club's, finances, showing that the mortgage debt, which a few years back stood at something like £15,000, had steadily been reduced until it now amounted to only £6500. In reducing this huge pile of debt theChairraanfnrther pointed out that the committee had not left the club in financial straits, for there still remained a credit balance at the bank amounting to £1000. Altogether the figures presented in the balance-sheet may be said to be very pleasant reading; and afford abundant reason to view the future in an extremely hopeful spirit. Should the club enjoy the same good fortune as regards weather in the season about to be entered upon as that which they experienced during the one just closed, it would seem safe to predict that there will be another pleasant tale to unfold, and another record of a golden harvest being reaped, when next year the members assemble at the annual meeting, for that the gathering held nnder metropolitan auspices in Auckland have grown to great popularity not only locally but also outside the provincial border ia a point that cannot be gainsaid. The lethargy and lack of spirit at the annual meeting of the A.R.C. has many times been referred to; but the'fact of there being this year a contest for seats on the committee had the effect of creating a record attendance; and so great was the crush of members anxious u> exercise their privilege of voting for the respective candidates that the A.R.C. Chambers were on Monday last crammed to their utmost capacity. This must be regarded as n healthy state of matters, and it is to be hoped that the increased interest manifested in the club's affairs will be maintained, for the A.R.C. now holds a position in this colony second to none in importance, and this being so, the members should continue to take a keen interest in everything that tends to the strengthening of the position. It did not admit of doubt that the whole of the retiring members of committee - Messrs. N. A. Nathan, A. Buckladd, W. McLaughlin, J. Ktrkwood, and R. Duder—who offered themselves for reelection, would retain their seats, but what may be termed the kernel of the contest was the result of the ballot as between the new candidates-Messrs.

D. McLeod, A. Kidd, and W. D. Holgate. The result of the polling showed that Mr. McLeod had won the seat, and not only was this the case, but his supporters were strong enough to put him at the head of the poll. The new member, Mr. McLeod, I may remark, is a well-known and respected Auckland sharebrqker, and when I say that he has shown himself to be level headed, and possesses a good grasp of the ethics of racing, it will be recognised that there are excellent grounds for accepting his elevation to a seat on the committee with much satisfaction.

NEW ZEALAND RACING STATISTICS. The statement compiled by "Pentagraph" on matters pertaining to the New Zealand turf places the province of Auckland at the bead of the list both as regards the amount given in added money and the sum put' through the totalisator. This interesting return reads as follows :—

NEW ZEALAND OBAND NATIONAL MEETING. The New Zealand Grand National Meeting, annually brought off under the auspices of the Canterbury Jockey Club, is set down to be held on Thursday and Saturday next, at Riccarton. Since the Southern club stepped into the breach some eight years back, and took this meeting under their wing, it has year by year grown in importance, and as a result some great gatherings have been drawn to Riccarton to assist at the annual fixture. This year it is pleasing to relate there is no appearance of any falling off in the interest usually evinced in the Southern fixture, in fact there would appear to be good grounds for offerinj: a credjetion that this year's meeting will eclipse all its predecessors, The C. J.C. richly deserve all the success that may fall to them on this score, for that body may be said to have acted the part of the heavy father to this branch of sport at a critical time when it showed signs of decay. The big event of the opening day will be the Grand National Steeplechase, in which the following 18 horses are engaged :— , . st.lb. st.lb. Mutiny .. .. 12 13 Bnubhav .. .. 10 2 Levanter .. .. 12 0 TeKooti .. ..9 13 Klng«uood .. 11 4 Hifhhnder .. 813 Tally-ho .. .. n•> Nut 9 9 The Friar.. .. in 8 Dromedary ..9 7 Morag .. .. 10 8 Dumlonald ..9 7 flillie .. .. ID 7 Ulster .. ..9 7 Perform .. ..10 7 Kaiioa .. _9 7 Dummy .. .. 10 7 Hirt 9 7 . Advices to hand from the South show that Mutiny is in capital nick, and as a result, The Mute gelding is held in great esteem for _ the big cross ■ country contest. In having won the race in the two previous years under tidy weights, Mutiny'? chance cannot be gainsaid; but even conceding the point that Mutiny is an extremely quiok and proficient fencer.l donot feel inclined to follow the lead of those who will have Mutiny and nothing else. Levanter is one that will, I think, prove equal to the task of stretching out Mutiny. The Auckland representative is a game, reliable fencer that has shown himself' quite equal to the task of carrying a heavy burden; and getting over a long stretch of country in good time. That the two top weights will fight out the issue appears to me a very probable event. To separate that donirhty pair is, however, a matter of some difficulty, and 1 must confess to entertaining a feeling that I would as soon back one as the other. Embracing as I do, however, the view that Levanter will next week strip a better horse than he. has ever previously done, I am prepared to favour pis chance moat.' Of those lower down the list Perform and The triar appear to me to stand out most dangerous. On the second day the Grand National Hurdle Race will come up for decision, and with the following 21 horses engaged it will be recognised that there is plenty of material to furnish a capital contest:- •

stlb atlb Tally-ho .. ..Hβ Ulster .. „ 910 Social Pest .. 11 5 Muscatel.. .. 910 Laronter.. .. n s Mlsstire .. .. 910 Dummy .. .. 1013 Arquebus.. .. 910 Ilex .. ..1012 Monte Carlo .. 910 Golden Plover .. 11l 10 Fireworks .. 9 6 Jewel ~ .. io 0 Don Joseph ~ ! 6 Quiltiri .. .. 10 S UmslopoMM ..9 0 Penrose .. .. 10 2 Dentist .. ..9 0 Chaos .. .. 912 Flirt .. ..10 Voltigeur.. .. 911

From the account of the training it would seem that some of the new aspirants for jumping honours hare not been acquitting themselves at all well, and Jewel and VoltiReur have each had falls in their schooling, Uolden Plover is said to be moving sore, while Penrose is reported to be amiss. In such a disordered state of matters, it is very difficult at this distance from the scene to deal. satisfactorily with the race. However, a pair reported to be doing well in their work are Quiltiri and Missfire, each of whom " *« d '<> be in capital nick. The result of the Mwden-Hurdle Race to be run on the opening day may be expected to asiut backers to ion* extent in finding the wiaoMt. j ■ -~

IB! capljiud AND MttMUBNI CUPS. The first forfeits in connection with the Caulfield ind Melbourne Cups fell due on Monday laat, and from the lists cabled we gather that 103 horse* remain in the firstnamed treat and 103 in the latter. .. Australian paper* to band furnish little information as to bow the leading candidates are faring in their preparation, bat this may be laid to be due to most of them being trained away from headquarters. On the strength of winning a small race at a country meeting, Pivot has been railed to the position of favourite for the Caulfield Cup, bat it may be doubted if hie party have supported him. A New South Wales candidate for Cap honours that is said to be striding along in good style is Positano, and he is credited with showing a good deal of improvement. The crack Aurum has been left in both races, from which circumstance there would appear, notwithstanding the harsh treatment he has received, a fair prospect of the son of Trenton being set the severe task of beating the opposition. " Asmodeu9,"of the Melbourne Sportsman, recently paid a visit to Ballnrat, when he inspected Dreamland, whom he gums up thus : —The ion of Trenton does not seem to have grown a bit since he won the Maribyrnong Plate, and is too deficient iu heart room and depth of back ribs to give him serious consideration for the next Melbourne Cup. He will have a much better chance at Caulfield than at Flemington, but I very much doubt whether he would ever accomplish anything big overa distance of ground. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Tho committee of the Auckland Racing Club meet on Monday next, but the question of drawing up the programmes of the meetings to be held during the season will, no doubt, as on former occasions, be relegated to a sub-committee, to be brought later on before the full committee for adoption or rejection. When 1 paid a visit to Wellington Park a month or so back. Mr. Morrin picked out Strathmore's sister Hazel as the first mere to

foal, and this has proved a correct prediction, andon Tuesday last the daughter of Nordenfeldt and Ouida enriched the famous

stud with abeautiful chestnut filly to the English-bred St. Leger. Advices to hand from Christchurch show that the Auckland contingent, Levanter, Kingsvrood, and Dentist, have each been responsible for some good work since their arrival at Riccarton. Fabulist being trained in private at Otahuhu we are of course entirely dependent on hearsay for particulars concerning the manner in which he is progressing in his training. It is stated that the big horse is looking and going well, and that the favourable weather experienced of late has been made full use of by his trainer in sending him along.

The new rules of racing, which are now in force, make provision for the stamping out of the nuisance which attaches to the duplication of horses' names. One of the first quadrupeds for whom a new title will require to be obtained is the two-year-old colt by St. Leger— Balista, the title "St. John" conferred upon him being already borne by a colt in the South Island. After Rex had distinguished himself by winning the Victoria Handicap at the Takapuna winter meeting in May last, it was round that the son of St. Leger had injured one of his stifles during the race; and a rest being necessary his owner, Mr. J. C. Booth, sent him up to his brother's place at Waikato in order to recruit. Rex has, I learn, made n good recovery, and should nothing unforeseen occur it is intended to bring him down to Ellerslie at an early date, with a view to his being put into work again. Mr. Booth will have another addition to his string shortly in the shape of a two-year-old colt by Matador from Jenny, who he intends bringing over from Sydney. Jenny, the dam of this youngster, is the little daughter of Nordeufeldt and Victoria, which Mr. Booth took over to New South Wales, eomo years back.

One of the most beautiful mares that was sold at the break-up of the Sylvia Park Stud was Woodnymph (by Musket from Sylvia), who was purchased by the Victorian sportsman, Mr. W. R. Wilson, for 500 guineas; but she has failed to throw anything of cote. When the St. Albans distribution took place two years back, Woodnymph was allowed to go for 300 guineas; but since then she has again changed bands, and is now the property of a New South Wales sportsman. Woodnymph is this season in foal to the St. Simon horse Bill of Portland.

The hot favouritism that is being dis played for Aurum's chance for the V.R.C, Derby threatens, if it continues, to sap pretty well all interest out of the blue riband—that is, of course, from a betting point of view. Here we are, three mouths before the race wd the price quoted about Mr. Wilson's crack is even money! In the event of Aurum training on satisfactorily, it would seem pretty safe to predict that he will start a terribly hot favourite for the Derby, and I shall not bo surprised to learn in that respect that all previous records have been beaten.

It is quite evident that the French sportsman, M. R. Lebaudy, picked up something in the shape of a champion over a distance of ground when he last year secured the Englishorse Count Schomberg for 3000 guineas. Almost immediately the transfer of owner ship occurred Count Schomberg won for his new owner the biggest hurdle race ran on tho French turf, and on being transported back to England he won the Chester Cup. A cablegram to hand states that Count Schomberg has added tho Goodwood Cup to his winning repertoire.

The Dunedin correspondent of the Weekly Press, in referring to Euroclydon, says :— "The big eon of Gorton is all right, though he has been in his stallafew days owing to the need for a light physicking, and by the time this is io print he will be galloping again. : I write this for the assurance of thpee pereops who may have backed him for the New Zealand Cup. Personally, I think it will be a poor field if he can win, but any who hold a different opinion, and are satisfied with his weight, will be pleased to know chat one of their risks, that the hone might go to the other side, Dp longer exists. I may also add that, while holding that Euroelydon should hare had a few pounds less on torm, the owner says he thinks he has a show of some sort or other against the horses whose form itexposed. What ho mainly fears is a surprise from the mysterious division. In statins: this I would add that I never have and do not now recommend Euroclydon as an investment, The law of chances is .always against the top wejght, and backers will probably get as good a price on the day, if the horse starts, as they can now." / According to statistics, Australia is jasily in front as a horse-killing country. Within the last year trom date accidents over jumps have ended such tried good ones as Dungau, J. 0.1., Larnook, Waterloo, Larrikin, and VVoonoke, while the ranks of the lesser lights have been thinned by Latrobe, Defiance, Sir Henry, Black Harry, Leap Year, Toprail, Gratiano, and Bon Tod being killed in battle. All sorts of reasons are put forth, (writes " Reginald" in the Melbourne Sportsman) as attempting to show why this is so, and there are, nnny suggestions offered to improve matters. Some claim that the fences are too uniformly severe, yielding not when " tested." To my view it is the murdering puce they, go that brings about the trouble as often as anything else. Whether it be over hurdles or fences, rarely indeed do you see any dawdling done, the rate of going being in nine cases out oi ten particularly sound from barrier rise to the judge. There are clean bred, apeedy horses at the game, and they are trained to go, and r<) they must or forfeit their chance of success. Under steam there is no time to put in short strides, the tendency being to stand welj away and make a flying jump of it. A misjudged take-off in these circumstances invariably means a terrific fall. A horse rising at an obstacle, big or little, before he is near enough to it tuns the risk of " kneeing" it. He can hardly help doubling then on to his head, and a broken neck is likely to follow. After a fall these days the rider's explanation generally is, "He stood away too far." And it is the clipping pace that throws the horse out of his reckoning. Given time, he might find a way of getting out of threatening trouble, but with the pressure on he stands right off and takes his chance. Our timber pilots nro rather too bald now. Make the country lees formidable, and whatever pace would they go at all I Mr. Donald Wallace, in whose colours good old Carbine recorded hia greatest deeds on the turf, claims what is pronounced a magnificent colt in Murata, who was got by Carbine from Wilga. In referring to this youngster "Asmodcus" says:—Like most of the Carbines he has a rather plain head, and is somewhat thicker in front than his blood relative Aurum; but his middle piece, loins and quarters are put together much after the fashion of the champion two-year-old. Murara's legs and feet are also of the best, and this colt is built altogether on lines which emineutly qualify him to develop into a galloper of the first order. Murata is engaged in the forthcoming Maribyrnong Plate. Georgic and Form, the two horses sent to England on behalf of the Sydney sportsman, Mr. H. C. White, 1 some time back, are located at F. W. Day's stables, at Newmarket Iu a letter received by 3. Allsop, the Sydney trainer, from the'owner by the last mail, Mr. White states that both are doing famously, and Georgic pleases him particularly. She is, writes " Umpire," as I pointed out before, a vastly improved mare since she was seen under colours, and if a remarkably' well-developed frame proves not to be associated with any loss'oi dash, we may hear of Georgic later on. Ultimately it is Mr. White's intention to mate her with an English stallion.

Word cornel from Sydney that Oscillator, after being in work only a few weeki, again broke down, and it ii understood that no further efforts will be nude to, train the big son of Hotchkisi, who will be pat to the itud this season. The forthcoming Grand National Meeting at Canterbury has attracted the well-known penoiller, Mr. D. A. MoLeod, to the South Island, and the Aucklander left on Tuesday last by the i.s. Tarawera. Judging of the pricet realieed recently at the fourth annual sale held by the Prince of Wales, the breeding of hackneys in tinglund i< moreprofi t»We than the raiaugof thoroughbreds in Australia. Seren brood mares realised £1155, being an average of £165: three three-year-olds £266 15s, average £88 18s; aix two-year-olds £432125, average £72 2s; three yearling fillies £346 10s, average £11510s; four ponies £89210 a, average £222 15s; and 28 hunters, hacks and harnees horses £5355, average £191 ss. The total amount realieed waa £8449 7s, which gave an average throughout of £162155. The largest sweep on the English Derby this year waa drawn for at Bombay, first prize £100,000, and waa won by a grocer's assistant. Lord William Beresford wired to the lucky winner on the Monday before the Derby offering £5000 for the ticket or half ehare. Needless to say the offer was refased. Last year Persimmon was drawn by a post St. Simon, who headed the list of winning sires in England for six seasons, and who, thanks chiefly to the deeds of St. Frusquin and Persimmon, beat bis own record last year, is sadly behind this season, the place of honour being occupied by Kendal, who had eleven wins, of the value of £16,254, Ualtee More's successes alone being worth £12,145. Saraband, who is next, had ten winners, of the value of £4536: while Goldfinch, who is third, earned £4250 by Chelandry's solitary win, St. Simon's stock won f oar races of the value of only £1358. There was a tremendous outburst of enthusiasm at Ascot when the Prince of Wales' colt Persimmon galloped home in front of his field for the Ascot Cud. A mighty roar went up long before he had passed the post, and was renewed again and again by the dense crowd that filled the course in front of the Royal staud.

A Victorian writer gums up raoing in that colony thus :-lt is a pity, but sadly true, that astute owners nowadays prevail. Indeed, racing is fast degenerating, from want of proper stewardial supervision, into just a trade; and beguiling the handicapper ia unfortunately an every-day occurrence. News from Christchurch is to the effect that The Agent, who in his day was a champion over country in New Zetland, has shown signs of breaking up, and he will pro. bably bo destroyed as an act of meroy. The largest totalisator dividend on the Mew Zealand turf last season was £144, which sum attached to Lady Agnes'e win in the Hack Welter Handicap nm at Waira rapa in March last. T. Hodaon left for the South by the Taka puna on Monday last with Perform, who is encaged in the Mew Zealand Grand National Steeplechase. Armilla, who has been enjoying a rest at Wellington Park since the A.R.C. Autumn Meeting in April last, has rejoined the string under the charge of U. Wright. The balance-sheet presented at the A.R.C. meeting' shows that the Pakurunga Hunt Club participated to the extent of £375 as a result of, their connection with the spring and autumn gatherings. Last season tho knights of the book and pencil contributed no less a sum than £916 to the coffers of the Auckland Racing Club in. the. shape of license fees, which sum is only £36 short of the amount received under the heading of members' subscriptions. The second forfeit in connection with the Melbourne Cup does not become due uutil the 26th October. Skirmisher is said to be looking and going well, and up to the present he has accomplished tho best work of auy (Jup hone in training at Riccarton. " Mazeppa" thus rofera to the champion Dunedin sprinter, Goldspur :—"The son of Rubezihl has improved considerably during the past couple of months in respect to looks. He has grown out capitally, developins proportions that I never suspected were dormant in his frame." Messrs. Humphrey Brothers, of Feilding, iave purchased the English sire, Gold Reel, from Mr. J. 0. Hayward. Nordenfeldt's brother, Enfilade, is to go up to auction this month in Melbourne. A two-year half sieter to Prime Wirden has been named Flying Kitty. Tho Victoria Racing Club has distributed £750,000 in stakes, expended £160,000 in Improvements at Flemington, and £100,000 in maintenance—altogether over a million of money. While being schooled over the big fences at Riccarton last week, Dummy over-reached and out himself. It was nothing serious, however, and after a few daya rest ho was again at work. Hova is to go to the stud this season at a fee of 30 guineas. Aiicurn is not engaged in tho Australian Jockey Club's Derby, and this will, it is thought, encourage the parties connected with fleet Admiral to send their colt over from Adelaide to fulfil his Sydney engagement. The St. Leger-Lady Wellington filly has >een named Mor6re. The filly occupies a )ox in the same stable m the Wellington Cup winner Strathbraan. Telemeter will, it is thought, win an important r,ace duriuß the forthcoming season. Cardomon, a two-year, half-brother to Abercorn, is said to be sniping like a galopor. He is receiving his preparation at the lands of Walter Hickehbotham, who trained Carbine for his engagements. Tho last racing season in New Zealand enriched the Colonial Treasury by no less a sum than £13,000, the amount paid in connection with the totalisator tax. Mr. Gollan'a New Zealand Cup oandidate Tire is reported to be slightly amiss. The Hon. Captain Russell has been reelected president of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club. The Hawke's Bay Jockey Club gives £5560 in stakes for the coming season. The value of the Grand Prise of Paris this year was £10,198. The Caulfield Grand National Hurdle Race (four miles) is set down for decision to-day, The stallion Glorious died recently in Victoria. Glorious was imported from England, and amongst other good horses that he sired are.Boolka and Cremorne. It is thought that the approaching A.J.C. )erby will ha fought out between El Norte, ?hillip, fleet Admiral, Burleigh, Rhymer, Patriot. In Sydney Aimim is quoted at even money for the V.R.C. Derby. On a recent date 600 to 100 was wanted in Adelaide about Fleet Admiral for the V.R.C. )erby, but the amount was not obtainable at that price. Admiral Rous had a great aversion to letting. On one occasion he wrote to the Times proposing that any person winning moie than £30,000 on one race should forfeit »is winnings, and that any member of the jockey olnb who won more than £50,000 on one race should be expelled from that select body. Against those who wagered heavily -like Mr. Merry, who won £70,000 on Thormanby, or like Sir Joseph Hawley, who netted £80,000 on Beadsman, or like Messrs. Naylor and Chaplin, wlio won respectively more than £100,000 apiece on Macaroni and Hermit — the Admiral's indignation was boundless. The Queensland champion, Battalion, who s to be trained at Randwick for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup engagements, arrived there recently, and is said to look the picture of health.

THE BETTING MARKET. Business in the betting market has been in a very quiet state during the past week, but the near approach of the New Zealand Grand National Meeting is bound to bring about an alteration in that respect during the next few days. Mutiny and Levanter continue favourites forthe G.N.|Bteeplechase. Until the' middle of the present week Penrose was one of the most favourite selections for the Grand National Hurdle Race, but bemg now under suspicion he has dropped out of note, while other fancied candidates that have gone back in estimation are Voltigeur and Jewel. It would be difficult to say what really is favourite for the Hurdle Race at the present juncture. rending the acceptances for the Sew Zealand Cup, matters in connection with that race have been extremely quiet. Haria has been claiming a little support, and after J"">? ? ad for a few hundreds at 100 to 3 »nd 4,100 to 5 was the best price obtainable about nun. Daystar has eased in price.
