INTER-PROVINCIAL GOSSIP.

{by telegraph,—own CORRESPONDENTS.] WELLINGTON. „„ . , . . Tuesday. The decision ot the Wellington Racing Club to uAA its spring meeting on the usual days has once more upset the arrangements of the different stables, and several trainors who had intended racing at Napifl-, Hastings, and Timaru will bo at TrenTham instead. G. Prico received a cablegram during tho J*** offering him the throe-year-old colt Sunfire (by Sundridge). The New Zealand trainer wag.gwßtly taken with Sunfire whon he was in England, but he has bought all the horses now that he intends to buy. However, he is endeavouring to place the colt elsewhere. In all probability tho intended trip to Napier and Hastings with Monelaus (Martian—Lovelorn) will bo cancelled, and the full brother to Nones will make his first appearance in the Trial Handicap at Masterton next month. His itinerary will also include the Wellington and Riccarton meetings. Wellington owned horses competing at Wanganui held their own fairly well. Seadown, who is owned by a steward of the W.R.C., who also bred him, succeeded in winning the Maiden Handicap, and also, the Hack Welter <n the second day. He is a big, overgrown, three-year-old, by Downshire from Socmen (dam of Sea Queen). Ho was only started once as a two-year-old, but he did well in the winter, and lately his track work at Trentham has been of a nigh order. He is likely to see a better day, and his career will bo watched with interest. A fair sprinkling of local sportsmen left for Sydney on Thursday last to be present at the Australian Jockey Club's Spring Meeting, which opens on Saturday. The local hurdle '•' horseman. H. Thompson, has been engaged to ride Tim Doolan in his Sydney and Melbourne engagements. He was a passenger by the Moeraki, which sailed last week. J, Ayres made the try? to Wanganui with "aringamutu and Marstnali, but both filled minor places. Marsinah works well on the tracks, but does not run up to it in his races. Before loaving home Taringamutu had been galloping really well, but she was Unlucky on the first day, and then had to be content with second place to Master Achilles on Saturday. ..Tlie Charlemagne 11. filly is not ready yet, aid, what is more, she is » bad trayelbr, so'it may confidently be expected that she will do better at the Trentliatn meeting next month. CANTERBURY. Tuesday. Jeannot ran well for a mile in the Geraldino Cup. and then faded out rather badly. Apparently he is not a stayer, but he should wm lots "of races yet if he keeps sound, aa he is useful up to a mile. Caher Davon, who won both the hurdle races at Geraldine, is a half-brother (by Glenapp) to Multiply. He jumped well, and finished up each day in good style. It is unfortunate that he is touched in the wind, as he might otherwise tako_ a high place among the jumpers, or even in decent races on the flatSveaborg changed hands after winning on the first day at Geraldine. His new owner had a good time next day when the horse dead-heated in one race and finished second in another, leturning in stakes £60 of the £60 spent on his purchase. The North Island horse Hap Dha was one of the unlucky performers at Geraldine. He was one of the victims of a bundle at the start, but was so clo3e up at the finish that it looked as if he could not have t lost with an even despatch. He should pick' up' a raro before long. Comely, winner of the Ohapi Hank Handicap at Goraldine, is a smart galloper, by Gluten from Soult Rose (a sister to Wairiki). If well iloced she should win lots of races, though I do not regard her as anything approaching tho best class even under a light weight. She has not been long in workhowever, and should improve.

A useful hack was seen at Geraldine in the shape of Gunre«t, who was successful on ♦he second day Ho is a five-year-old by Calibre—Tinwald Beauty, whose dam, Beauty. Sleep, is a sister to Conqueror, and he posse»°es a qood share of *he family speed.

The three-vear-old Treadfire was responsible for a decent performance; in winning the President's Handicap at (reraldjne _ Tie ran out the- mile solidly, and he is likely to be beard of agnui, possibly over an even longer journey. Hit success was a bit of a surprise, as he was beaten in Tory moderate companv the previous day. Treadfire is by Treadmill from In<rleneuk, a speedy m»re in her day, and a sister to the • great Raster winner. Fireiron (by Benwmi—

THERE'S A LONG LIST. There is a long list of mothers in your community who will tell you that they keep Chamberlain's Cough Remedy always on nand. That they never allow a cold to get a firm hold in their home. That they have found that one or two doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken at the first symptoms will ward off'the severest cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the mother's favourite, and it can be given to any "member of the family, from the eldest to the youngest.
