INQUIRER, Kakalii— The added money to the Melbourne Cup is 5000sovs, out of which lOOOsovs goes to the second horse and OOOsovs to the third. A sweepstake and forfeits, which go to swell the stakes to the first prize, would raise it considerably above the sum left from the added money. 2. Carbine only contested the Melbourne Cup on two occasions. In 1883, with lOst, he ran second to Bravo (Sst Mb), and in 1890 he won under lOst flih, NOTES BY PHAETON. THE NEW ZEALAND CUP. The 'running at the Hawke's Bay meeting has not served to throw any light on the New Zealand Cup, at least, in so far as pointing to the winner of the Southern race. Mahutonga was pulled out 'at Hastings on both days, and each time an unplaced performance went down to his name. Possibly, indeed I think very probably, it would be unwise to place much value on Mahutonga's running at Hastings, for the simple reason that, lie had not carried silk : since lie ran at Ellerslie on the 3rd of January last. It is reasonable to suppose that such a glutton for work as is the son of Quilt, will be considerably benefited by the two strong races ho got at Hastings, and by the time New Zealand Cup day rolls round, the big chestnut will, no doubt, be a very dif-ferent-horse in point of condition to what he was this week. Melodeon figured as a starter in the Spring Handicap, but although lie was ■ lot off with Bst 31b ho could only get third to Lyrist and Heroism. This does not read like New Zealand Cup form, but still, from what I can learn, it would be unwise to count him out of the New Zealand Cup with only 7st 101b opposite his name, for he is credited with running more generously this season than last year. The bay son of Medallion has twice got into a place in a big two-mile race, and at a third attempt he may be foutitl equal to improving his record. Advices received from Canterbury point to Nightfall being the one most favoured of Mr. Stead's lot, and a fairly wide opinion is stated to now rule that the chestnut mare will be the elect of the Yaldkurst stable. I incline to that view myself; but it is perhaps a little too early yet to come to a hard and fast conclusion on that point, seeing that we are yet four weeks off the day set down for the decision of the race, but from the support that has been accorded to Nightfall it would seem as though someone were operating who had more than mere street gossip to go upon. The next payment in connection with the Cup falls due on the 20th inst., and probably by the time that date rolls round some of the mist that at ,"resent obscures th? impending big question at Riecarton will have been dispelled. MANIAPOTO AND THE MELBOURNE CUP. ' Advices to hand show that the New Zealand horse Maniapoto has reached Flemington, and though the son of Soult and Lady Fisher is still engaged in the Caulfield Cup, attention is entirely centred on his Melbourne Cup engagement, in which race, with a 101b penalty added, he has Bst 101b to carry. A slight cold that he contracted on the trip from New South Wales to Victoria' affected Maniapoto for some days, but he is credited with making a good recovery, and though he has not yet entertained the Flemington touts with fast feats, the work he has been getting through can apparently be accepted as carrying the satisfactory stamp, as he still rules favourite for the two-mile race. It is to be hoped that Maniapoto will go on all right in his training, for even with the additional weight he will be called upon to carry as a result of his win in the Metropolitan Stakes not a few good judges estimate him \o he in u favourable position to credit New Zealand with the greatest race of the year. No ordinary horse could, it is argued, have broke up his field in such a manner as did Maniapoto in the race which he ran at •Randwick last month, and remembering the great record of 2m. 3245. which he put up for a mile and a-half on that occasion, aud that he was still running on at the finish, it must be said that there are good grounds to entertain a hope that Maniapoto will be equal to making a bold bid for victory at Flemington on the first. Tuesday in November. The winning of a Melbourne Cup has, however, puzzled many greater horses than Maniapoto, and it will be just as well to commit that potent little fact to memory. THE GREAT NORTHERN GUINEAS. The Wanganui and Hawke's Bay Guineas having now been numbered with events of the past, attention is directed to the Great Northern Guineas, which comes up for decision at Auckland on the 4th of next month. At the date of the last forfeit 15 horses were left in the race, but five have dropped out in the interval, and in pricking off the card, it may be said that there is only a reasonable chance of half-a-dozen lining up at the post. Mr. E. J. Watt Claims the strongest. hand, with a double string to his how, in the shape of King Billy and Boomerang, and with the two sons of Merriwee both returned winners since they entered on their three-year-old careers, the Hawke's Bay sportsman appears to have an excellent chance of capturing- the Auckland race. Puhipuhi (by Soult —Lady Musket) and Apologue (by Phoebus —Miss Gladys) stand out as the most likely pair to give the visiting division most trouble, and the first-named specially is looked upon to improve a great deal on his second to Kilderkin when next he carries silk. Mr. Watt's pair, it may be remarked, claim engagements at the C.J.O. meeting, which will.be in progress at the same time as the A.R.C. fixtures, but with Mr. Stead holding such an overpowering hand in the three-year-old races at Riccarton we shall, I fancy, find King Billy and Boomerang at Ellerslie next month. THE ELLERSLIE RACECOURSE In my notes last week I mentioned that doubts were expressed as to the Ellerslie racecourse having sufficiently recovered from the r&grading ' and returfing recently effected to permit, of its being used next, moil for the holding of the spring meeting without a considerable amount of risk being incun»d. On Saturday last I walked over the ground in company with Mr. Hill, under whose supervision the work has been completed, and I must say that as matters presented themselves to me there appear to be grounds for viewing the situation with some anxiety. Of course if favourable weather conditions could be counted on from now till the meeting is through on November 11 the A.R.C. authorities might be justified in taking the risk of using the ground for galloping, but it .. will I*> well to remember that we cannot rely oil fine weather in spring as in past years; and recognising in addition that if only one day's racing were held at Ellerslie next month under unfavourable conditions the track, which has taken months of incessant work to bring into a proper state, would be called upon to bear a strain which it would be unequal ,to meet, it becomes a serious matter as to whether the risk should be incurred. .

• LEAVES FROM MY NOTEBOOK. Mahutonga was withdrawn from the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday last. Considering the extensive manner in which the chestnut horse had been nominated for events to be run in New Zealand during the spring season, the dilatoriness displayed ;in striking him out of his Victorian engagement _is surprising. Judging from the tori of cablegrams received from Sydney, Mahutonga had been boomed there as likely to fulfil his Flemington engagement, and his scratching is made the medium of a pointed allusion in the Sydney Telegraph. Mr. C. W. Wallis" cannot- be held responsible for operations that may have been taken with Mahutonga in Australia, but all the same he cannot have been oblivious of the fact that his horse was strongly in evidence in the Sydney market for the Melbourne Cup, for several cablegrams came to hand showing that Mahutonga was being hacked. Under all the circumstances, it would have been well had Mahutonga been withdrawn from the Melbourne Cup ere the Victorian bookmakers got to work and knocked him out to 100 to 1, for that was practically the last act for the dead. Mr. Stead is so punctual and methodical in everything that pertains to his racing affairs that lib is just about the last man I would have counted upon as likely to bo caught napping on an important nomination day. However, that is a phase in wMch matters have to be summed up. The Canterbury sportsman overlooked the hour fixed for closing the < list of nominations for the whole of the important handicaps set down for decision at the A.R.C. Summer Meeting, with (he result that his entries came to hand late, and could not, therefore, be received. As no less than 13 nominations were included in Mr. Stead's batch, three of which were for the Auckland Cup, tho club will suffer in addition to the owner. There was an agitation some little time back for the fixing of an hour (four p.m. was mentioned), for the closing of nominations ' by the various clubs. The press welcomed the proposition, but with a man like Mr. Stead missing some people will, no doubt, think a curtailment of time a somewhat dangerous proceeding. In Australia .tlfe leading clubs close the entries at four|p.m., and what is possible there should Sot be impossible here. In these days off telegraphic entries it should not be necessary to fix . the hour for closing within 1 three hours of midnight. i The shareholders of the Wellington Park Stud Company having passed the resolution submitted to them empowering the directors to sell, the publication of an advertisement setting forth that the whole stud is to be put up to auction on December 30 next, was well anticipated, and therefore created no surprise. It must be viewed as a matter for great regret that circumstances should be such as to necessitate the disruption of an establishment that had proved so marked a financial success as had the Wellington Park Stud. Thero is no help for it, however, in the state of lr itters ruling, and we must just hope that when Messrs. Buckland and Sons have concluded the sale on the 30th December a good percentage of the choice lots will be found to be still owned within the provincial area. While the A.R.C. authorities have been laying out money for the beautifying of the enclosure at Ellerslie, matters outside have not, it is pleasing to note, escaped attention. The racecourse staff is now engaged in improving tho front approach to the free stand. The ground has been levelled up to that of the track, and will be graded, so a» to drain off properly. When the made ground has become thoroughly set, it is intended to treat it with tar and sand, which in dry weather will combat the dust fiend, while in wet weather there will be an absence of mud. This improvement will, no doubt, be greatly , appreciated, aud it. will serve to further popularise that portion of the ground. Petticoat, the three-year-old daughter of Multiform and Bloomer, who won a double in " hack" company at the Wanganui meeting last week, was bred by Mr. G. G. Stead, but she never carried the colours of the Canterbury sportsman. F. Hiegott; bought her out of the Yaldhurst stable in April last, after she had been passed in at ji reserve. By all accounts Petticoat has the family trait of galloping, and she will, no doubt, be heard of in more high-class company lie fore long. It is stated that Petticoat was very fractious as a two-year-old; but if such was tho case she has altered very greatly, as she is now of most composed temperament. Some weeks back it was stated that the A.R.C. authorities had let the contract for the erection of a. new rail fence from the five-furlong post to tho winning post at Ellerslie. The first section of the work, which is of a very solid character, is nearly completed, and the effect on the eye is very much more pleasine than the rickety, uneven rail that did duly for so many years. Cast on tho same lines as the rail at Flemington, it may be assumed that everything is well provided for, and jockeys especially will have good. reason to view the new work with especial jubilation, as the risk of accident will be considerably minimised. Probably by the end of the season the remaining three and a-hnlf furlongs of the course, will be. set up with the new rail. • / ' " Sir Rupert Clarke plans to race here." " Famous Australian to bring string to Coast." These headings set out in bold, black type surmounted an article recency published in the San Francisco Chronicle. Then follows a picture of Paul Pry, the celebrated old gelding by Lochiel, that carried Sir Rupert's colours for several seasons, and who is credited with winning £20,000 in stakes. The article goes oil to say that Mr. George Musgrove, .the theatrical magnate, who is "mentioned as a close friend of Sir Rupert Clarke's, has been investigating the possibilities of racing in America. The Americans are told that Sir "Rupert Clarke has over 20 horses in training, and that the team for America will comprise half-a-dozen of the cracks. The article concludes by crediting a relative of Sir Rupert Clarke's with stating that his horses will "surely" race in America., that James Scobie will "surely" oonie with them, and that R. Lewis, 'the "star" Australian rider, will surely "be sent along to ride them in their engagements. Experience shows that the American journalist on the warpath for copy can win a first-olass prize in building up columns on absolutely nothing, but it is stated that " Victoria's only baronet" may send a small team to Amercia, but that either James Scobie or R. Lewis will go with them is a matter mat may be regarded as open to considerable doubt. American papers to hand show that tho Auckland-bred Seahorse has had his first flutter under silk in the land of tho Stars and Stripes. The son of Nelson made his first appearance in America at Saratoga in August. He jumped well and ran a good race, and should have won but for his rider being content to wait a long way behind the others. As it was, he finished second, and then was disqualified because his rider could not draw the weight. Later on in tho same month Seahorse started favourite at 10 to 7 on for the Shillelah Steeplechase. He had his opponents beaten when he struck a post-and-ro.il fence heavily, faltered, and had to be pulled up. It was found that one foot was badly torn, but hopes are entertained that the Nelson horse may race again. American journals state that Seahorse is the best steeplechaser they have had for many a year. Though Gladsome has not shown a. partiality for galloping over a long journey, it is stated that the daughter of Seaton Delayal will be given an opportunity to distinguish herself in the Melbourne Cup, in which she has Bst lllb to carry. Though the chestnut mare has some doughty feats down against her name in races extending to a mile and a-half, it is a popular opinion in Australia, that her pot distance is a mile and a-quar-ter. When Multifid was racing in Auckland at two years old there were some who ventured tho opinion .that the son of Multiform and Heriot would prove unreliable. Those who saw the bay colt race at Wanganui last week are heard expressing a grave doubt as to his genuineness. Though ho won th« Flying Stakes, he ran about a bit when asked to finish, and in the Owen Handicap he finished absolutely last. Multifid is credited with having a bod eye. The statement of accounts submitted at the annual meeting of the Takapuna Jockey. Club on Thursday last shows that that popular institution had a splendid season, resulting in a profit of no less a sum than £846, which is £725 above the previous year's record. In the face of such a rosy picture, it is reasonable to suppose that the prize-money, which was cut down last year, will be built up to the old standard. Muugista, the two-year- old daughter of Stepnialc and Madder, who won the Hastings States on Wednesday last at the, Hawke's Bay meeting, was picked out amongst the lot sent up for sale by the Eiderslie studmaster (Mr. J. F. Reid),' last November, as a likely one to gallop early, and she was bought by Mr. George Hunter, of Hawko's Bajr. tor 35 guineas.

Lord Minto, the new Governor-General of India, was once : one of the best gentlemen riders in England. He rod© as Mr. Roily. Kilderkin is not engaged in the Great Northern Guineas. Forfeit was declared tor the son of Cyrenian when such became duo in August. _ I Mahutonga was sent out favourite for the j King Edward Handicap, but his followers j had the mortification of seeing him whip in the field. H. Jones, who steered Maniapoto to victory in the Metropolitan Handicap, remains in Australia to ride the Soult horse in his Victorian engagements. The Otahuhu Racing Club hold their annual race meeting 011 Wednesday next, and judging from the acceptances, some capital sport should be witnessed. ' Master Delaval has been in a bad way since he ran at Avondale, suffering from a poisoned leg. He is now, I understand, well 011 the road to recovery. By winning the Spring Handicap at Wanganui Gold,. Crown has incurred a 51b penalty for the New Zealand Cup, in which he will now have to carry Bst 21b. The Carbine horse Dundonald won the August Handicap at Durban on August 5. Dundonald, who is a bad customer at the barrier, started at 20 to 1 against. Elspeth (by Sou It—Lad; Emmeline), who was sent over to Brisbane several months back by Mr. Hugh Mosman, has won a couple of races there for the Queensland sportsman. The Merriwea oolt Boomerang is evidently a very consistent runner. In the four races he contested within a week of entering upon his three-year-old career, he has finished second three times. Pretty Polly's three-year-old full-sister, Adula, has won her • first race. This was the City of London. Breeders' Plato of 1500sovs, one mile and a-quarter, at Kempton Park, on August 12. When the last English mail left, the apprentice, E. Wheatley, was at the head of. the list of winning jockeys for the season, having ridden 79 winners to date. D. Ma her (65 wins) and O. Madden (63 wins) were next. . Lyrist, who won the * Spring Handicap at the Hawke's Bay meeting on Thursday last, was the greatest outsider of the race, and he was followed home by the uncertain Heroism, who was also one of the neglected division. Goldei. Gate, who was the first descendant of the English sire San Francisco to be put into .work, made his debut in the Hastings Stakes, run on Wednesday last. He was considered to have a good chance of earning distinction, but failed to gain & situation. Multiform ha? left his mark on the Hawke's Bay Guineas in a very pronounced manner. In 1897- the bay son of Hotchkisg won the Hastings race; last year Golden. Lily, the first of his descendants to contest the event, won, and this year he again claimed the winner with Cuneiform. Seabird, the aged daughter of Ben Godfrey. who is now one of Frank Mac-mane-ruin's team, is being schooled over hurdles at Ellerslie. ' On Saturday last she jumped four flights of hurdles ill very decent style, ,iud she will, I fancy, only require to develop staying capacity to enable her to obtain a winning bracket at the illegitimate game. STUD NOTES. [r.T PHAETON.] Mr. Stead's experiment of inbreeding strongly to Musket continues to have happy results. Cuneiform, who captured the Hawke's Bay Guineas 011 Thursday last, is another to be ranked with successful members of the tribe. Got by Multiform (grandson of Musket) from a mare by Maxim (son of Musket), Cuneiform is bred on the same lines as Isolt, who went through her engagements at the Australian Jockey Club's Spring Meeting at Randwick last month without _ tasting defeat. Bluefire, the dam of Cuneiform, is identical with the bay filly ! who came out in the season of 1094 and i captured the C.J.C. Derby and C.J.C. Oaks for Mr. Stead, and it may be remarked that the Canterbury sportsman imported . her dam, Sapphire (by The Drummer), from Australia- On being put to the stud Bluefire missed for several seasons, and it seemed as though she would be of no use. However, in 1901 at which time she was ten years old—Bluefire threw a filly (Asteria) to Multiform, and in the following year she produced Cuneiform to the same sire. Bluefire was a very fast mare, and it is worthy of remark that her dam, Sapphire, won the V.R.C. Oaks of 1880 in the colours of the late Hon. Jas. White. _ Talking about Multiform (writes " Javelin," in the Melbourne Leader), one naturally remembers that his grandsire, Musket, was as a yearling under orders given by his eccentric English owner condemned to be shot as worthless! Strange, is it not, that but for the equally whimsical reversal of that order there would have been no Carbine, no Martini-Henry; no Trenton, no Wakeful, no Multiform, no Nordenfeldt, no Noctuiform, and no Wallace? Fortunes won would have been lost; fortunes lost would have been won, and the results of Melbourne Cups, Derbies, Champions, Sydney Cups, New Zealand Cups, Newmarket Handicaps, and heaps of other big races would have been altered! At- the Hawke's Bay meeting on Thursdaylast the imported sire Birkenhead claimed his first winning descendent, when his two-year-old son Cantor scored in the Juvenile Handicap, in which lie beat a field of seven. Cantor is out of the. Dreadnought mare Guitar, who is a half-sister to Lyrebird, dam of the Wellington Cup winner Renown. Few horses that have commenced their stud life in New Zealand have been accorded so great a chance to make a name at the outset as Birkenhead, and by all accounts ho well merits the action of the Hon. Mr. Oriwond in breeding so largely from him at Karamvi. ■ _ The Sydney Mail says:—For the first time since the death of Musket, and even before that, has the stock of a stallion standing outside of this continent been placed at the head of the Australian winning list, and it is curious to note that this has been accomplished by a grandson of Musket— Multiform to wit—whose sons and daughters have so far credited him with £3570, representing eight, races at Randwick. Another "foreigner." Soult, who represents the North Island of New Zealand, while Multiform rules in the South, ha* been credited with £2284. all, except £62, of which was won by Maniapoto. Lochiel is a good second to Multiform, with nine winners of nine races, worth £2869. Uniform (by Hotchkiss—Formo), who raced for a couple of seasons in England, and was then transported to South Africa, to be used as a sire, is evidently being given a decent chance to make a name for himself at the stud, as I notice he lias more representatives than any other horse for a big two-year-old race to be run next year at Johannesburg. _ Honours were well distributed amongst the sires represented at the Hawke's Bay meeting. Sixteen events figured on the programme, and descendants of 13 different sire.> captured first positions. Merriwee, Gold Reef, and Sou'-wester wera the only horses to claim two "winners. The other sires* represented on the winning list were Apremont, Quilt, Stepniak, Jet d'Eau, Multiform, Gipey King, Birkenhead, The Officer, Eton, and Sir Lancelot. The following foalings are reported by Mr. Walters from Glcnora Park:— Rose and White (by Nordenfeldt— filly to Soult; Helen McGregor (by Captivator—Hannah). filly to Soult; Golden Mavis (by Impetus—Golden Bell), filly to Soult; Fairy Tale (bv Tasman —Sapphira), colt to Souk. The last-named mare is owned bv Mr. W. H. Berries M.H.R, ' The Auckland-bred Trenton was represented by a winner in Denmark recently, in the shape of the four-year-old Tester Lily. Trenton must have achieved a record in the way of cosmopolitan successes, hi 3 stock having won races in ten countries, viz., England, America,. India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Russia, and Denmark. St. Olga (by St. —Satanella) was shipped to Napier this week in order to be mated with Merriwee. At Wellington Park . St. Amy (by. St. Leger—Brown Alico) has produced a coil; Hpiiscail-olt. *' v t '■ ■ •.■■■■ -y ■
