It is qaite true that the machine did not show that the ticket had been issued on D.O.D.'s number; but it was proved-beyond; all doubt that tho ticket presented was perfectly genuine, bearing as it did the embossed mark of the club. ,' TRBl4TON.—Wakeful won in stakes £16,625.

THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS. Following closely on the Two Thousand Guineas, wo aro placed in possession of tho result of the One Thousand Guineas, which event is limited to-fillies,/arid r ; like its. pres ;, decessor, is run over the Rowley : Milo at Newmarket.,; Witch. Elm, who distinguished -herself in the fillies' race in tho colours of Mr. W. Hall Walker, was a good performer last season, winning fivo out ;of v - the nine engagements sho was-; called upon to fulfil as, a, youngster. In her initial engagement, which was the Spring Two-year-old Stakes, at.--Kempton Park, Witch Elm was responsible for a sensational surprise, for she'' bowled ovor an odds-on favourite in Lord Wolverton's Performance, a head - being the'/ narrow; margin -by'-;, which ' sho Bcored. Tho following is a list of winners of the ■ One Thousand Glineaa since 1875:—

THE HAWKE'S SAT CUP.; " !■■■.- In the decision, of die Hawke's Bay Cup " -on Wednesday r the? three-year-old Volume gave further proof of his consistency and improvement by carrying the. colours of his ■■■■■;■■'■: breeder, Mr. Goodwin, to victory in the ..,-■;',' Hastings race." The field that opposed Volume was a strong one from a numerical standpoint, and, as ho had Bst 6lb in the ■■ « saddle, "and was placed within 21b of * the V top weight, Sir Tristram, there was a good dash of merit attaching to the performance. The win registered by Volume in the Hawko's Bay Cup will cause Mr. Goodwin to further rejoice over > the fact that his firm- ■, ness • of attitude . in, standing to £300 when approached in the spring by a would-. ''■■■.• bo purchaser of the son of ■ Sylvia Park . saved the situation, and left tho colt- in his hands; Since an of? of £250 was made and refused for Volume last October, the .colt has won close upon £1500 in stakes for : : I Mr.'.Go6dsoh,.;and altogether there is much * for the Hawera sportsman.to rejoice over. £v£v ; ; ;■',*■.'■'..■ ■ ; '''■■'■■■' '■'■:"'''.'-X'''-' :: - : ''- : " r ' i ' : '^ r: -'.

Despite the fact that: Glenculloch was . mulct in the maximum 211b penalty for the Hawko's Bay Stake?, . the bay son .of Clanranald ■ was produced -on Thursday in order to endeavour to put up a two-year-old weight-carrying Tecord in the , Hastings .race. Sir George Clifford's colt J was made a warm favourite; but, according to the : ■ telegraphic account of the race, he never . had a chance of scoring, for directly the barrier flew "up Elevation was out in. front, and there be remained throughout, 'the. son: -.of Ban Francisco- romping in an easy winner in front of the stable-mates -Loft us' and Downfall. As Elevation was carrying a 141b penalty, ho must be given credit for a meritorious performance, and his , latest exploit. under silk will serve to in-, ■ r vest his three-year-old career' with a good dash of interest. A NEW ZEALAND TEAM FOR AUSTRALIA; The Southern trainer, D. ,1. Price, who leaves for Australia this week, for the pur- ■- ' pose of making another assault on the turf on the ■ other side of'tho Tasman Sea,' will take with him a strong team. Amongst the performed division that Price will take • across the water-arc Pink-'un (by Strowan},-, Submarine .(by Torpedo), and Savoury (by Simmer). The remaining .five of. tho. teamare a four-year-old filly by The Officer from Arethusa, by Dreadnought from Dryad, by tit. Legeiv . from-;; Woodnymph (sister to Martini Henry), by Musket from Sylvia; ■si a yearling brother to the speedy Beresina, by Stepniak from Ambush; a! yearling ;; , r .aipter, to Cross Battery,' by Stepniak from Firecross; a yearling brother -to Orloff, by Stepniak from Sortie; and a yearling filly by Stepniak from the St. Clair maro Gitanella. It is understood that the New Zealand team will be trained in Victoria. ■■'•"" ' HIGH PRICED : YEARLING 3. .; ' :;: '■ • A good deal of prominence has been given to tho fact of Poseidon's brother-realising the record sum for the Australasian colonies of 3050 -guineas. Hugo as this figure certainly is (remarks the Referee), it sinks into ; > . •comparative -insignificance when compared- / with some of the sales that have beeneffected in England and on tho Continent. For instance, when the late Duke cf West-' : ■>::■'■, minster's' stud was broken up seven years ago, 12' of the yearlings submitted realised ' tho enormous total of 43,300. guineas, thus, averaging individually more than the sum paid for Poseidon's brother. Sceptre, of course, holds the yearling record of 10,000 guineas, while others of the same age, have r changed, hands in England at 9100 guineas,' 5600 guineas, 5700 guineas, and 5500 guineas ; ' " respectively. Then, previous to these sales, Kin" 1 Thomas '■ fetched 8000 guineas, and whey the late Sir J. B. Maple, in 1392, gave 6000 guineas for Childwick, the. price was looked on a3 extraordinary.. In 1890, !•• '■'•■'■' 58 yearlings sold in England for 104,716 ffuincas, their earnings as two-year-olds only reaching £14,875. ..During 1903 year- " ■ Unas wore sold at public -auction, in Austria ' ' realising * total of 22,560 guineas,. ami up \ ■■'■ '-'-"'■■■ to the end of last season those of; them ''. that had'raced were, credited with- £52,200;.
