Taumarunui.—The late F. Archer died on November 7, 1883. ; Waoer, Hamilton.—Daystar won tho first four races he contested at throe years oH. Tho events in question were Ibe rnai Handicap and Ascot Handicap (Ellewlw) and the Hawke's Bay Guineas ar.d Spring Handicap (Hastings). NQTES BY PHAETON. THE WELLINGTON MEETING. The Wellington Racing Club's Spring Mating opens at Trentham next Saturday. The event in which most interest will be contred on the opening day is the Wellington Handicap, in which a number of New Zealand Cup candidates may be expected to carry silk. The race in question is run over a mile and a-quarter, and, with 21 horses engaged, there iB material for a most interesting contest. Chortle having been allowed to drop out. Adjutant (9st lib) now heads the list. Colonel Soult (Bst 101b) following. An interesting point in tho acceptance list is that the three-year-old Estland (BBt 2lb) hag been selected in preference to bis stable mate, Egypt, who was allotted BBt 121b. In his conducting engagements at two years old Estland "Quitted himself in an attractive manner, and as they took the shape of a trio of victories in select company his future prospects formed to subject of much laudatory remark, lii can, I think, bo iafely assumed that aittland has not been paid up for in next Saturdays race without good reason. There is some smart material amongst the Ugh -weight division I and by all accounts Chuckle .the full sister to Chortle, who ft nicely treated with 7st 2lb is one that will be brought into tho limelight when backers get to work.

BRILLIANT BIPLANE. Sydney papers now to hand bring details of the dual winning exploit registered by the New Zealand-owned colt Biplane at the Australian Jockey Cub a Spring Meeting. Warm eulogy is the feature of the remarks of the various writers on.the brown colt, and Mr. G. D. Greenwood is hold to possess a rare galloper in the son of Comedy King, , who. it is predicted, will build up an attractive record during the season. In reerring to Biplanes victory in tho Craven Plate the Sydney Sun writes :-As was generally anticipated, the nngmendemanded odds on Biplane for the Craven Plate, and it, was a case of odds on all through. Biplane was drawn about three horses out at the barrier. Thana, .was next to him, was fractious before the start, and probably unset the colt a trifle, for when the gong went he jumped away from her and cut across The Fortune Hunter, and another horse. Deeley quickly. straightened the favourite, however, and with Tlnna he went to the front and made the running. Along the back Biplane began to draw away from tho oppesition, Thana, Sasanof, and Prince Viridia being nearest of the others. A- the six furlong? ho was three lengths ahead, but from that point to tho home turn the field was allowed to close up on him, and at the half-mile his advantage was. only a length As they swung into the. straight, however. Deeley let Biplano go ogam, and he won in hollow fashion by two lengths in the gfeat time of 2m Bis. How fast Biplano gots into his stride may be gaugod from, the fact that he ran tho first two x furlongs in Marthis from a standing start. Tho closing milo took a fraction over lm 118s.

LEAVES FROM MY NOTEBOOK. With Biplane out of tho way, the Victorian - owned colt Thrice easily accounted for the opposition in the Caulfield Guineas last Saturday. Thrice has an engagement to-day in the Eclipse Stakes, which event is run over a mile and three furlongs under weight for age conditions, with penalties and allowances. By reason of his victory it the Guineas Thrice $11 haVe to carry a 51b penalty, but the fact of Biplane being missing from the list of entrants will encourage Mr. Clarke t o give his colt a further opportunity to earn distinction at Caulfield.

Lisp who has the record of winning the first two-year-old event of tho present seaSon decided in New Zealand, is a bay daughter of Demosthenes and, tho Stepniak-Soa-«hell mare Savanna. Lisp, who was, bred 0/ her owner, Mr. R. Acton Adams, is one of tho team trained at Porirua by J. H. Pressor A two-year-old event decided at the Masterton meeting was won by 80-peep, a, Slighter of Bezonian and the FitzDonovan -lolanthe mare Shepherdess. in the decision of the Dunedin Guineas at Xvmgatui last Friday a brace of descendants of Ki'bronoy in Kilrea and Kilrus fought out the battle for the lcaduig position; the firstnamed, who earned the colours of Mr C. W. Raid won easily by half-a-length. but the time.' lm 51 3-ss, was slow, duo to heavy going. , The Auckland-owned two-year-old Informal (liv Demosthenes-Formality), who is estimated to be one of the most forward of the Ellerslie-trainod juveniles, is to be given an opportunity to distinguish himself in the Wollesley Stakes, which event is set down for decision at Trentham next Saturday. Nominations for all handicap events to be run at the Auckland r-.iing Club's Surma Meeting, together wii'.i forfeits for the Great Northern. Guineas and Welcome Stakes, close on Friday next at 9 p.m.

NOTES FROM ELLERSLIE. .Vthouif}' it is generally agreed that the two-year vlds in training at Ellerslie this year are a much better-looking class than we have had in our midst lor some seasons, none of them has proved capable of making the same time as Gwent registered repeatedly during tho samo month of 1916. There is on outcry against the price of horse fodder, and as a consequence more than ono trainer of late has been forced to ask for an increase in the fee charged to train horses to make ends meet. A. J. McFlynn expects to leave for Gisborne to-day. He will ride Master Timi in his hurdle engagements next week. Malaya registered a pleasing half-mile yesterday morning, and will be taken couth on Saturday to complete engagements at Gisborne. W. Mobborloy appears to havo sot hold of a usoful sprinter in the daughter of Monoform. Kitty Bellairs acted as her companion in yesterday's sprint. Informal, Colonel Soult. and Billy Wises wore entrained for Trentham on Monday. D. Cotton is to ride Billy Wiesb in his Trentham engagements. This hack has a quiet reputation, which ho hardly deserves on what h' has registered so far. J. Chaafo left for the Waverley meeting on Monday Jast, in charge of Analogue, Robinson is likely to rido him in Monday's engagements C. Browne will leave for the Gisborne meeting on Saturday, to complete riding engagements thoro next week. Ho will steer Malaya. Both Colonel Soult and Informal were I responsible for f.ttractivo work at Ellerslie ' prior to leaving lnr the South. Bingham and Estmont Park continue to! satisfy their connections in their work. The j former is well forward for spring engagements. TROTTING AT ALEXANDRA PARK. BY PICADOR. That trotting continues to claim the confidence of tho sporting public in Auckland was again evidenced at Alexandra Park on Saturday list, when the sport provided at tho opening meeting of the local searon at Epsom was decidedly interesting and free from doubt, the chief stipendiary steward, Mr H. Davcy, reporting everything in order. The different races wero spiritedly contested, and as the authorities now governing tho sport are wide-awake, progressive sportsmen, does not appear to be any doubt regarding the welfare oil the j sport provided by. meniber» of the lightharness brigade. A word of commendation is due to the management of tho Auckland Trotting Club regarding last Saturday's fixture, everything going off smoothly under tho guidanoo of Mr. C. F. Mark, secretary, and an able staff. No less than 85 starters faced the barrier during the afternoon—an average of over ten «»ich race— amongst the number were visitors from Taranaki, Canterbury. Wellington, Poverty Bay, Waiknto, and elflewbsi-a. Honours were even regarding the number of victories* four being obtained by horses trained within a reasonable radius of Auckland, and four going to what may be termed the visiting section. Competition was particularly keen throughout the afternon, and it is worthy of note that one of the most popular victories was that of Toiler, who was practically neglected on th» machine, and returned a good doubio figure dividend- Toiler is # a carty-looking customer, and certainly belied his looks by makin? no mislako, throughout. His was a genuine surprise victory, and those present took in the situation as the case merited, and in sportsmanlike, fashion accorded tho joyful owner an ovation on his return to the paddock. From a time standpoint there was nothing to enthuse over, but the aged son of Toledo—unknown must bo given credit for being honest.

Trotting critics have always written up ! Harold Junior as a promising member of the light-harness brigade, and tho eon of Harold Rothschild verified the reason of such predictions by winning his double, which was captured in worthy style. Harold Junior should be capable of making even better time than so far credited to him. M. Edwards, the , Southern trainer, mot with misfortune with Irvingwood in his races, the aged son, of Blackwood failing to settle down kindly in either of his starts his prospects being hopeless very earl). However, the Canterbury owner-trainor was compensated by the success of Leo 801 l in the Stewards' Handicap, though the son of General Lyons was called upon for a very strenuous effort to defeat Lincoln Star. In fact, with a less vigorous horseman than Jarden, Leo Bell would have suffered defeat. The Sydney importation, Comedy Chief, was produced in the Middle-class Handicap, and on his looks was installed tho eleot of the public. He was beaten out of a place in the race to the post, but played a prominent part in the miadlo stages ot the event, and it will indeed bo surprising if he fails to improve with racing. Tho son of Blackwood Chief is one of the team racing in the nomination of W. A. Scott, the veteran trainer-owner.

Austurio lost some ground in the early stages of the Bpriug Handicap, but gave ovidence during the running that ho retains his pace of last season. Victory for Steel Bell from her back mark in the October Handicap would indeed have brought her a great ovation. She made a gallant effort in the straight, and gained third' honours, finishing on well. She is a decided favourite with local sportsmen, who will look for further gallant performances from the grey daughter of Gold Bell. j Pitiroa, who, though diminutive in height is a sturdily-built customer, gavo his Gisborne owner, Mr. S. Wooton, a popular victory in the Electric Handicap, the harness conditions being more to his liking than tho saddle. In tho Stewards* Handicap, earlier in the day. he met with a disappointing passage, but was finishing on. The public, who wor not slow to notice these facts, modo the son of Peterata a pronounced favourite for the race ho won. Calton, who hails from M. Edwards's Canterbury stable, failed to settle down early in the Electric Handicap, but was finishing on gamely in third place. The adjustments of tho handicapper, Mr. F W. Edwards, worked out really well, and to is entitled to a word of warm praise for his excellent work: •. \ There is every prospect of the majority of the visiters remaining to compete at the Otahuhu Trotting Club's meeting on Saturday next, and the secretary, Mr. F. D. Yonge, can look hopefully to a successful gathering. The Otahuhu Trotting Club hold their spring mooting on Saturday next, and the situation ie such as to encourage the optimistic spirit in anticipating, some very interesting snort, for tho visiting division will again be on hand. It should only require fine weather to ensure a large attendance next Saturday at Epsom. Acceptances fall due to-night at nine o'clock for all event* to be run at tho Otabuhu Trotting Club's Spring Meeting,

INTERPROVINCIAL GOSSIP. [BY TELEGRAPH;—OWN CORRESPONDENTS.] WELLINGTON. Tuesday. Wellington-owned horses got a share of the prize money at Masterton last week. The New Zealand Cup candidate, Menelaus, was successful in the Flying Handicap, and paid a largo dividend; Mr. W. E. Herbert's BoPeep (Bezonian— Shopherdess) scored in the Juvenile Handicap, while Mill Queen was runner-up to Aore in the Electric Handicap. 80-Peep is a Waikanae-bred youngster, and is a half-sister to Boris, who, it will be remembered, won the Auckland Guineas for Mr. R. T. Turn bull, a prominent patron of the Porirua stables. 80-Pee? is fairly forward, and this stood to her in her race. At the business end ihe cut down her field and won handsomely. Another descendant pi Bezonian, in Gipsy God was ex-jeoted to do well, but Gipsy Belle's daughter faibd badly. The race should, however, do her a bit of good, as there is no doubt about her pace. Risinghum shaped badly, but be had an inexperienced youngster in the B addio, and may improve considerably on that performance at his next meeting. Visiting horses from all pwrts. are. commencing to arrive at Trentham, in view of the Wellington Spring Meeting, which opens on Saturday next. Amongst the first to arrive were J. H. Jefferd with eight horses, nnd G. Price with half that number. The latter is not in camp yet,, and is applying for timo to settle his affairs , His Wicey, T. Motcalfe, who is also.called up, stands 4ft 6in in height, and it is claimed for nun that he is the smallest soldier in the Dominion. Immediately, on J llO ,, 00110181 of the Wellington meeting. Chortle and the rest of J. JefTord's team will be sent North for the Avondale and Auckland meetings. H. Gray was riding at the Masterton Meeting. He got a heavy fall off The Golfer and was too sore to tako a mount on the second day.

CANTERBURY. Tuesday. Mr C 0. Dalgety has sold Snub and Nanna to Mr W. & Komball. a. Master, ton sportsman, who has. just joined the ranks of owners. Snub is a useful custo mor, who has proved that ho can stay, and ho may run well in the New Zealand Cup. despite that fact that I think he has received too much weight. Nanna is a three-yoar-old filly who won at Ashburtpu .last month, on her first appearansfi, fane is a smart galloper, and should pay her way over short courses, though she comes from a family that has required careful handling. Several New Zealand Cup candidates competed at the Dunedin Jockey Club s meeting this week, and two of them may have to be reckoned with at Kiccarton. I refer to Rorko's Drift and John Barleycorn, who fought out the finish of tho Mosgiel Handicap. John Barleycorn prepared us for ft good performance by his effort at the &urow mooting. Ho is in nice, hard condition, but can still bo improved and h should bo bene* fitcd by his racing. Th<.o is no doubt of his ability to stay, and he should be a bard horse to beat on cup day. . The record of Rorke's Drift is not so easy to follow. Ho was tho outsider of the hold in the Knrow Handicap, and ran badly., but a week later he won tho Mosgiel Handicap, showing great improvement, which was looked for, as he was Becond favourite, n-e has earned a 3lb penalty in the Cup, and with Bst 81b he must be given a chance. Killard was a big disappointment in tho Mosgiel Handicap at the Dunedin meeting. His win over a mile and a-quartor at the Kurow meeting made a big improasion in some quarters, and with heavy going he was made favourite at Wingatui. The result, however, showed that he is not quite up to '.be best company, even with a light weight. His defeat did not surpriso me. as there was no great merit in his Kurow win with the steeplechaser conceding him a stone in, second place. Killard does not appeal at all as a New Zealand Cup prospect. Nothing at Riccarton looks better than Margerine. and as she is galloping in hor best style sho may win a good race before long. She is regarded us more that a possibility for the Stewards' Handicap. Sir Geo. Clifford is having an unfortunate experience with his two-year-olds this season. The bost of them are off tho scene with lameness, aid to finish matters off Onslaught met, with injuries while galloping at Wingatui, necessitating his withdrawal from his engagements Caverock, who, won tho two-year-old handicap at Wingatui today, is a gelding by Rokoby—Madder, the dam of many smart gallopers. He is credited with being a useful sort, but I dont if ho has any pretensions to good class. Nautical who was among the winners at Wingatui to-day, is a colt I expect to turn out well. Ho is a three-year-old by Nautiform—Passion, and though he has not been long in work he has shown that lie can gallop fast His owner-trainer, T. Sheenan, holds a good opinion of the colt, and his present intention is to take him to Auckland at the end of tho year with a view to contesting the Great Northern Derby. That looks a tall order, but I feel certain ho will win more races shortly. The surpriso of the Dunedin Meeting was the running of Awahou, who won a race each day. His last previous win was scored over hurdles more than two years ago. A. J. Shearsby has put in an appearance with Sleight-of-hand. The last candidate looks well, and ho hit out freely over soven furlongs with Thames this morning.

WANGANTJI. m , Tuesday. When Moulu won the Waverley Cup last ; year ho had only Blb less to carry than he has been given for tho coming race, but he will probably have a considerably, stronger field opposed to him on this occasion, I he son of Boniform has been galloping in fine form on the tracks lately, but he failed in the hurdles at Masterton, a fact which might have been due to the heavy state of the going. In addition to tho Cup. Moulu is engaged in the Hurdle Race at Waverley. F. Tilley took a team of six to Masterton, including Client, Coolpan, Acre, Endure, Arrowfield, and Moutoa Queen. It was generally expected that Client would run a big race in the Cup. although his trainer reckoned the son of Elevation would need a race or two to put him at the top of his form. He failed to run into a place, but, in view of the fact that the going was very heavy, this is not surprising, as he is one who likes firm going. In any case, the race should do him good, and he may be Been to bettor advantago at Irentham. Acre claims an engagement in tho Railway Handicap at Ellershe, and this colt is likoly to win some good races. He is a fine-looking bay. and gallops in a nice oven style. He ii a very quick beginner, a fact which will be in his favour if he starts in the big sprint at Ellerslie. By Linacrs out of Miss Arlington, he should not only be speedy, but able to stay. . | Coolpan has come on well since racing at Marten, and the Cooltrim—Pasty gelding is likely to do good service for Mr. Duncan.
