Saturday next will once again see the fl.igs hoisted at lillerslie in order to celebrate the inauguration of another A.R.C. Autumn Meeting. So far as can be judged, and it can be said that the acceptances and entries in hand warrant an opinion being couched in an optimistic vein, matters appear to be well in train for a highly-interesting and successful gathering, and should fine weather prevail on all three days record attendances will probably have to be chronicled. The number of visiting horses engaged is one of the pleasing features of the approaching gathering, and altogether the outlook can be deemed very satisfactory. Of the 25 horses that figured in the Easter Handicap when the first acceptances left Mr. liar*land on the 27th tilt., 19 are still engaged, and that circumstance points to Mr. O'Connor being called upon to marshal a strong field for the mile_race. On all hands the issue is regarded as very open, and it is a most difficult matter to say with accuracy which horse between half-a-dozen will start favourite. From South Australia comes news of the death of the Auckland-bred horse Thunderbolt. It was in the summer of 1884 that Thunderbolt made his debut on the turf at Ellerslie. He formed one of the team trained by old John Chaafe for a syndicate, of which Mr. J. Marshall was the head. The Musket Slander colt Foul Shot having made a satisfactory debut in the spring by winning the A.R.C. Welcome Stakes he counted a solid ring of admirers as a youngster likely to prove the best of his year. When, however, Thunderbolt came on the scene in the summer he quickly disposed of his Papakura rival. The late Hon. W. Robinson, who had in contemplation an assault upon the Australian turf, effected the purchase of Thunderbolt in the autumn at something like 1700 guineas, and the brown son of Musket and Locket formed one of the collection which Mr. George Cults was commissioned to train at Flemiuglon in the spring of 1885. Mr. Robinson backed Thunderbolt for a big stake for the V.R.O. Derby, won by Nordenfeldt, but he ran badly, and his stable companion Winchester, who was held to be inferior, beat him for third place. Thunderbolt was subsequently submitted to auction, and at 220 guineas he was bought by the South Australian breeder, Mr. W. Blackier. Thunderbolt proved an instantaneous success at Fulham Park. His first batch of yearlings did not realise big prices, but they soon displayed their quality, and thereafter they were in great demand. A world's record is claimed for Thunderbolt, as no fewer than 48 out of the first 50 of his progeny •to race gained winning brackets. Almost to the end it could be said that everything he sired that was trained was returned a winner. At the dispersal of Fulham Park in 1902 Thunderbolt was sold for 55 guineas. As a show ring horse Thunderbolt had a great name, and for many years he headed the list of winning sires in South Australia. Up till the end of last season he had sired 123 winners of 297 races, the total stakes won amounting to over £50,000. 'An interesting fact in connection with this ■ year's Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase is that the winner, Rubio, is an Ameri-can-bred horse. Under the impression that jib had hopelessly broken down Rubio was sold for a song— £13 or £25—and put into harness. Rubio stood drawing- a trap all right, t.nd. then, /having been bought for 95 guineas by his present owner, the old American 'chaser stood the strain of hunting. After that his owner decided to give him another show "between the flags." Rubio, it may be remarked, was a crack steeplechaser in America, and when sent across to England it was with the view of winning a National or some other big race. Last year Rubio showed that he was quite at home over Aiutree by running second to Springbok in the Great Sefton Steeplechase. This year he won a fair race at Hurst Park in February, but still so littlo was thought of his chance of taking the highest steeplechasing honours of the year that he started at a very long price. Rubio's sire. Star Ruby, is a half-brother (by Hampton) to the illustrious Sceptic, who captured four of the great English classic races in 1902. SuRuby was sent to America a few years back, and became a fashionable sire straightaway. Both America and New Zealand have now , won the big steeplechase.

It is at all times pleading to find Sir George Clifford'* - stable .■ keeping up its".', reputation, j and judging from the tone of advices to hand | from Canterbury, New Zealand'* .popular J sportsman, is likely to hold an especially j strong hand in two-year-olds next teaaoa. j Half a dozen colt*, bred by Sir George 1 at | Stenyhurst, have already readied Edward I Cutis at Chokebore Lodge, and they are ! spoken of" us a particularly well-grown lot, j 'the breeding of the youngsters is as folio*'*: i —Appfegitrtli (by * Treadmill — • GoldleafL j Taskmaster (by Treadmill—Madowla), Broad- ! sword by Lianranald—Safeguard), Sharpj shooter {by Claiiransld—WeathereyeK _ Full , sail (by Pilgrim's Wind whistle), j and Merchantman (by Birkenheadßrave ! Heart). In addition "to these S*.- George ] Clifford ha* four fillies, bred as follows: — | Thistledown (by Clan-anald—Elusive), Fasna- | kyle (by Clanfanakl— Cresset (by ] Claur:«uald— Goldren Crest), and Ploughshare (by Treadmill—Golden Vale!. This does not complete the list of Sir George Clifford's I juvenile lot. as lie purchased a brace of colts i at the yearling sales held in January. With such a "fine lot to call upon, it will be passing strange should the blue and gold chequers not be carried with distinction in two-year-old races next season. Another good sportsman in Mr. G. G. Stead will have a fin' team of youngsters to call upon for next season's racing, a glartc ■ through the, calendar revealing that the Yaldhurst stable lays claim to the following yearlings: Colts: Arboriform (by Multiform —Happy Valley), Natuiform (by Multiform—Rattler), Cymbiform (by Multiform— Saucer), Guian Forte (by Multiform—La Valiere), Cronstadt (by S'tepniak— Madder). | Pilgrim's Rest (by Pilgrim's Progress—Zii gana). Royal Marine (by Royal Artillery— Culroy). Fillies: Vesper Bed fbv Multiform ! —Curfew Bell), Perle D'Or (by Multiform- ! Aura), Roselike (by Multiform—Soult Rose), j Bliss (by StepniakFaraway), Hope Dia- | mond (by Royal Artillery—Blue Fire), Risj tori (by Royal Artillery—Helen Faucit). | There appears to be every reason to accept the statement made that Mr. D. J. I'rico lias effected the purchase of the Mahaki Foldings Maui and Ataaluia. Bearing in mind that hurdler.-! are none too plentiful, and th'at we are within a few months of the ; time when some valuable slakes are to be yon in New Zealand, Mr. Price must be accounted fortunate to secure so promising a brace as Maui and Ata?hua at this juncture. Curiosity is naturally prompted as to the price paid for the two Mahaki geldings, for that it would run to nearly four figures may be regarded as pretty certain. Advices to hand state that Maui and Ataahua are to be shipped to Australia at an early date. A Sydney cablegram of yesterday's date to hand brings intelligence of the death of Mr. T. W. Hungerford, who was for many years identified with the New Zealand turf. The deceased gentleman will be best remembered as the owner of the New Zealand Cup winner British Lion, and the brilliant Whakawatea. Some 15 years back Mr. H-.ingerford removed from New Zealand to New South Wales, in which State he carried out a number of extensive railway works. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Maui and Ataahua are still engaged in the Brighton Hurdle Race. Exmoor, who met with a bad accident last year, is stated to be again in work. The A.R.C. will inaugurate their autumn meeting at Ellerslie on Saturday next. Tlie defeat of Sir George Clifford's colt Husbandman was the surprise of the Manawalu meeting. F. McManemin's stable supplies three candidates for honours in the Easter Handicap, in Cambrian, Celtic, and To Aroha. Nadador, the game little daughter of Lord of the Isles, is again in work at Hastings, and she is reported to look particularly well. - Despite the fact of his having incurred a 71b penalty, Uhlando has had his engagement in the A.R.C. Easter Handicap continued. Moloch, Carl Rosa, Tamainupo, Delegate, Loongana, and Miss Winnie have been allowed to chop out of the A.R.C. Easter Handicap. The Seaton Delaval mare Clochette, who passed into Mr. W. Walters' hands in January last, is being trained at Papakura by H. French. The Hon. J. D. Ormond is sending four horses to compete at the A.R.C. Autumn Meeting in Dawn, Woodey,.. North Head, and Diamond Star. The Gold Reef gelding Gold Dust won both hurdle races at the Manawatu meeting, and on each occasion Clarcmont filled the role of runner-up. Miss Adanee, who won the Hack Scurry at the Manawatu meeting on Thursday is, I think, the first descendant of Advance to earn distinction under silk. Leonator and Arc Light having dropped out of the Tradesmen's Handicap, the veteran Scotty now figures at the head of tba list for the mile and a-quarter race. Mon Ami, the three-year-old half-sister (b Soult) to St. Paul, distinguished herself at the Manawatu meeting by winning the Juvenile Handicap, beating a field of five. The time (lm. 14 2-55.) put up by Aborigine in the decision of the Manawatu Stakes was fast, and it, is quite evident that the son of Merriwee can call up a dash of brilliancy. The Wellington-owned pair, Marguerite and Gold Crest, have had their engagement continued in the A.R.C. Easter Handicap, and that points to their carrying silk at Ellerslie on Saturday next. Woodhey, who distinguished himself in the Champion Hack Plate at Manawatu on Tuesday fast, figures amongst the acceptances for the Tradesmen's Handicap,, to be run at Ellerslie on Saturday next. B. Deeley, the well-known jockey, whose license was last week cancelled by the Auckland Metropolitan Committee, has sent a letter to the ruling body requesting that he may be heard in defence of his position. D. J. (Price did not long retain possession of Mttnjeet, Though the Stepniak mare only won one ra,.e since ho acquired her from Mr. Stead, ho probably quitted her at an. advanced price to that which he paid for her in Sew Zealand. The Soult mares Lucrecc and Lucto, who are full sisters, were put up to auction at Messrs. Buekland and Sons' Yards yesterday. Lncrece brought 150 guineas, and Lucio 50 guineas, both lots being knocked down to Mr. C. Nicholson. The lis' of acceptances received last night by. Mr. Haitiand in connection with events to be rim at the A.R.C. Autumn Mooting are of a most satisfactory character, and this must; be interpreted as a compliment to the handicapper, Mr. Morse. Tangiiiicana, who distinguished herself at the Manawatu meeting on Thursday last by capturing the Dominion Cup under Bst 111b, is not engaged at either Auckland or Canterbury in the autumn. Tangimoana is a ' four-year-old daughter of the New South Wales sire San Fran, A meeting of delegates of various West Australian racing clubs held recently decided to continue the system of stipendiary stewards for another 12 months at the same salary— at £700 per year. The conference expressed satisfaction with the system of stipendiary stewards. Lord Rosebery has this season sent seven of his mare* to the Melbourne Cup winner, The Victory, who is standing at the stud in Ireland, at a fee of £9 19s. So far only three yeariing3 by The Victory hove been sold at auction. One realised 400 guineas, and two others 100 guineas each. The Avondale Jockey Club notify that, owing to April 17 being Good Friday, all nominations advertised to close on that date in connection with their forthcoming autumn meeting will be taken on the 36th inst. up to nine p.m., and on the 18th inst., between the hours of six p.m. and nine p.m. It is understood that Sir Rupert Clarke has purchased May Park, near Mooroopna, on the western side of the Goulburn River, with the object of establishing a stud. May Park Estate, which . ; tuated in the irrigable district of Rooney, *. niprises 1300 acres, and the price is said to be £14 petacre. At various times I have penned a good word for Celtic. The chestnut son of Seatun Delaval, who has been unfortunate this season in contracting ailments, is now carrying a healthy appearance, and if he holds his condition properly between now and the A.R.C. Autumn Meeting, he should be able to play his part attractively. Mr. John Lynch, of Coromasdel, claims to hold one of the finest foals of the season in the shape of a colt by Soult from the St.' lieger mare. Golden Rose. The bay mare is one that can be termed "all quality," and that being also a striking characteristic ; in Soult's descendant, Mr. Lynch has strong grounds for painting his colt in very glowing colours. According to figures compiled recently, the American sportsman, James R. Keene, in the last five years has won 996.043 dollars in stakes ami purses*. Mr. Keene's expenses for training, transportation, jockeys, help, equipment., feed, entry fees, .and the conduct of his famous Gastoltoii stud, in that period of time, are. estimated at newly . L 700,000 dollars, -J

■'"■• EXIT ST. SIMON. ' I i , ' '' fit PKA&TON'.j ' ' " I ■".■■'■■' | ■"■ The death of the 'stallion St. 'Simon, the ! news of which came from England 'recently, i removes one of the most illustrious horse* j catered in the Stud Book, Foaled a* far back aa 1881, St. Simon, it may appropri- ! ately be said, lived to a green eld age; and that important winners have been-'.emitted' | to him right up to the present year, is a 1 striking proof of hi* virility. St. Simon was j bred by the late Prince Ba'thyany, Luis; the j Hungarian sportsman, who made his home j in England, was neve* destined to *ee the | magnificent brown son of Galopta and St. [ Angela carry his colours, for lie passed away j ere the colt came to fulfil ...is two-year-old engagements, and the Duke of Portland j was enabled to secure the horse that was j destined to win distinction as the greatest sire of the ago for the moderate outlay of j looOgth*. It was unfortunate for St. Simon's rrcing record that Prince Batthy* tiy should j have died at the period ho did, for as a j result the colt's nominations became void., j and ho wa.-> -'thu-j deprived of the opportun- i ity of liking rank as a triple crown hero. j However, when ho went off the scene lie had preserved an unbeaten certificate, and with \ a high eulogium conferred upon him by the late Fred Archer he was voted one of the J greatest gallopers that had ever graced the j turf. A curious tale is related in connection J with the sale of St. Simon, when he was j offered by auction at two years' old. Some j time previously to the ion of Galopin being 1 sent into the ring a prominent turfite re- j ceived private advice* to the effect that he i was a flyer, that he had had his leg dressed ! "to look like a blister." and that ho must j secure him. Apparently the late _ Mat- j thew Dawson had received intelligence j of a somewhat similar nature, for j it is reported that when _ looking J over the colt he noticed the dressing, and i deked it with his tongue to see what it was ] mad© of. Thai he was satisfied, is probable < from the fact that ho refused to be stalled j off, and purchased tho colt 'for the Duke of j [Portland, then just embarking on a turf career. It was not until Goodwood that St. Simon made his first appearance in public. This was in the Halnaker Stakes, which he won in a canter, as, he also did a Maiden Pkto at the same meeting. It was hero that the much-taiked-of Kingselere crack, Busbey (afterwards renamed Duke of Richmond), mad© his debut, and as the stylo in which he carried off the Richmond Stakes endorsed his private reputation, a match was made between him and St. Simon, to take plh o at. Newmarket in the autumn. In the meantime, howowr, St. Simon had set the .seal upon his exeedeie-e by carrying off tho Prince of Wales' Nursery at Doncaster. For this event lie carried the " crusher" of 9sfc 81b, but setting weight at defiance ho cantered away from one of the largest fields which ever contested that race. Considerable excitement was engendered by the match with Bushey, the Kingselero partisans being confident, despite tho form shown by their champion's opponent. I*'. Archer rode St. Simon, while T. Cannon bad the mount on the Duke of Westminster's j colt. Honours were completely with St. Simon, who won easily by a length, though various opinions were held as to how much he had in baud. St. Simon then wont into winter quarters. His first engagement as a three-year-old was in the Epsom Gold Cup, and as the owner of Tristan and tho Duke of Portland did. not care to oppose each other, it was arranged for a trial to take place between tho pair. This took place at the Newmarket First Spring Meeting, and was a public affair, tho pair running at weight-for-ago, lambic and another three-year-old being thrown in at catch-weights to make a pace. Tristan was in great form about this time, but St. Simon gave him no quarter, ami won in tho easiest possible fashion by six lengths. The death of Prince Batthyany bad. of course, rendered void St. Simon's nomination for tho Derby otherwise the judge would not have been troubled with a deadheat, as during the spring Matthew Dawson averred that he proved tho son of Galopin to be fully 211b better than Harvester, who, after being stopped in his work, was good enough to tie with St. Gatien. In the Gold Cup at Ascot. the Duke of (Portland's crack made hacks of his opponents, winning by 20 lengths from Tristan, who on the following day enhanced St. Simon's reputation by carrying off tho valuable Hardwicke Stake* from a high-class opposition. An equally easy victory in the Goodwood Cup saw tho last of St. Simon on a racecourse, for although a match was talked about between him and St. Gatien later on in the season, it came to nothing. Doubts have been frequently raised tut to whether St. Simon was a thorough stayer, and even Matthew Dawson expressed himself as dubious on this point. "But," said tho trainer, "I could never get anything- to go fast, enough to test him:" and it will probably be admitted that an &..ima! wl.o could beat such a horse as Tristan twenty lengths over tho tiring Ascot Cup course could stay well enough for anything. St. Simon's career as a sire has "been an extraordinary one, for from the very outset he jumped into a prominent place in the winning sires' list, and up to data bis descendants have won considerably ov;r half a million in prize money, which, it may be remarked, beats all records in all lands ; and when it is further added that his sons at the stud claim winners of stakes to the valuo of over £600,000, it will be recognised what an all-round record is down to the famous brown horse owned by the Duke of Portland. St. Simon's best year, bo far a* the amount of money involved is concerned., was in the season of 1896, when, with a brace of cracky three-year-olds (Persimmon and St. Frusquin) to represent him, he was credited with close on £60,000. Concerning St. Simon's classic winners, it is a peculiar fact that his two Derby winners, Diamond Jubilee and Persimmon, are brothers, and that they also won the St. Leger: while bis two St. Leger winners. Memoir and l.a Heche, are sisters, and tiny also won the Oaks for him. Therefore, two brood mares produced for St. Simon 10 out of his 17 classic winners. Since 1900, when Diamond Jubilee, Winifreda, and I.a Roche won him ail the classics, St. Simon has not sired a winner of any of these five races, but during the interval his sons, St. Frusquin, Persimmon, St. Serf, and Florizel 11., have between them been responsible for 13 classic winners, which must be termed a wonderful l record. The following is a full list of the classic winners sired by St. Simon: — Two Thousand Guineas, 12%, St. FniF<|uii>. Two Thousand Cunieas, ITsOO. Diamond Jubilee. One Thousand Oaineas, 1890, Semolina. One Thousand Guineas, ICT.', l.a Ficelie. One Thousand Guinea*, 1894. Amtabl*;' One Thousand Guineas, 1300, Winifred*. Derby, 1896, JVmrninon. j pprby, IMO, Diamond Jubilee. j Oak», 1390, Memoir. ! Oaks, 1893, I.a Fiftche. Oaks, 1893, Mrs. Butterwick. Oak*, 1294, Amiable. Oaks, 1900, La Roche. St. I>2f-r, I£9o, Memoir. St. Leger, 1892, La. Klccbe. St, Leger, 1896, Persimmon. St. Leger, 1300, Diamond jubilee. What a gold mine St. Simon has proved to the Duke of Portland may bo readily gauged by a consideration of his life as a ; sir©. St. Simon's original fee at tho stud ! was the modest one of SOgns. Tho subI scription was doubled in his second season j I raised to 150gns. in 1S91: 200gns. in 16j2 ; 250gns. in 1894;--300gna. in 1395; 400gns. in 1897; and SOOgns, two years later. Even this last prohibitive sum did not deter breeders, for season after season bin list i was full in advance, and during recent yean, when fewer mares had been served, competition for a subscription bad been unusually keen. From. 1894 until 1904- St. Simon annually earned a sum varying from £12,000 to £20,000 fees for the season wh m 500gns. was first charged amounting »a £20,4-75, a Lege contrast with his first season, when 20 mares were served at 50gna. only. St. Simon is well represented at tho .tud in almost every notable portion of the Empire. In Australia his sons Pr aitano, Simmer. Haufe Brion, and San Francisco can be singled out as noteworthy sires, while in New Zealand Soult, another of his descendants, has won a front place amongst the sires of Maorilend.
