In seeking to gauge the Gloaming situation it must be aaid that .The Welkin gelding piaced those ol hie critics who were responsible for sounding the doleful note in regard to his prospects of earning distinction in bis spring engagements completely out of court. The fact of the trainer. It. J. Mason, advising an attack on Feildina was, however, quite sufficient to impress wavercrs that if Gloaming had not regained his form ho would,not be on hand to carry, silk., How Gloaming romped over the opposition in the two races .he contested at FeUding on Wednesday and Thursday we now know. It is extremely pleasing to find Gloaming again on the scene, and we may expect to have the brilliant gelding amorw the competitors nt the A.R.C. Summer Meeting. Gloaming has contested 37 races during his career, and he has the wonderful record of winning 33 of hie engagements, while he finished second on throe occasions, and the only unplaced performance down against his name wae due to on accident at the barrier, by which he was thrown out of the race. To have a horao selected for you by the breeder as a yearling costing a mere 250gus and who has proved capable of capturing 123,383 is certainly entitled to be regarded ae a delightful experience That is the intoresting little story bound up in the career of tho brilliant Gloaming. Mr. Greenwood never cast his eyes on The Welkin's son us a_ youngster, and the purchase was made on his behalf by the breeder, Mr. E. E. D. Clarko. Such ia the li-ok of buyins; a raeerl Largo as Gloaming's stake record is, it would undoubtedly have been larger had certain matters not operated in sending him into retirement at important stages oh no less than throe occasions. Gloaming's record to date is as follows:—

THE TAKAPONA MEETING. This year's spring meeting held under the auspices of the Tnkapuna Jockey Club goes into tbo records as the most successful tiatherint: held at the North ' Shore at this season, and that, too, in the face of tho opening day being marred by unpropitious weather. It is difficult to accurately gauge the Dumber prosent at an outside gathering, but. with data available, it is, I think, a fair estimate that during the two days the attendance list reached to nearly 26,000. Tho improvements made on the hill for the comfort of those who prefer to take their pleasure at tht.t point no doubt played a strong part in the increased attendance. Much, of course, requires yet to be accomplished at that point before the comprehensive plan mapped out is completed, and it is quite certain that if the situation is to bo successfully met it will be necessary for the same to be pushed on. and the extension of (he present range of terraces almost to the boundary of Lake Road is a work that will certainly have to be put in hand at an early date Any success that comes to the Taka puna Jockey Club can bo viewed as extremely woll deserved, for the difficulties that presented themselves in laying down the mile course and the perfecting of appointments at other points were of a character that would have caused mi.ny with less stronger hearts to have despaired. HONEST GOLD KIP. , When backers were face to face with the Alison Cup on Saturday last Gold Kip was the one tnat leceivcd most attention. ■ but the little son ol! St Amanß was unlucky at a critical point of the journey and he failed to gain ft situation. In the decision of the St. Andrew's Handicap on the second day. >>» which race he figured top weight with 8.11. Gold Kip was found on hand brimful of fight, ae usual* to fulfil his engagement. Ibis, time he steered clear of all trouble, and. making his effort at the head of the straight, he won attractively by a length from Stork, to wnom he was concoding lllb. Gold Kip, who is now in his seventh year, has stood [us racing in n manner that clearly shows him to be a very hardy customer. In running through Gold Kip s performances last season I find that he contested no less than 28 races, and the nice little return he'made to Mr. H. S. Keesing at that period amounted to £2493 10s. Mr, Keesing has good cause to look back with pleasure to the day he secured Gold Kip, who seems as sound as when ho first came on the turf. Gold Kin was got by St. Amanß, one of the bestlooking sons of Soult, and his dam, Fraulera. 18. I think, identical with the brown daughter of Seaton Delaval and La Bose, who raced until she was six years old. EEAVEB FROM MY NOTEBOOK. With so much talk at the present time of rough riding and butting in, it would have been surprising had stewards not aflowea pointed proof of dealing with such cases with a firm hand- !]?he stipendiary stewards are, of course to be accepted as experts in detecting offendem in race-riding, but it mav •be, greatly doubted if the stand near the winning-post is the best place for them to take up their .position. An occasional visit to various points might .nrove highly advantageous in ishoetin? home some of the charges that are bruited about in regard to unfair taction resorted to by some of the horsemen contesting. The concluding stage of the Kawan Hurdle Race, decided a,t tho Talapuna meeting on Wednesday last, furnished a striking illustration of the extraordinary happening. Poanui, who was in the lead at the last obstacle, cleared the fence, but he overbalanced in landmsand fell, while Killard. who was racing in second place, crashed into the fence, and he also (ell. For such an extraordinary transformation to take place within a couple of hundred yards of the winningpost gave thoßO who were betting a very sharp reminder of the truth of the old saying. ' You never can tell till the numbers are up-' Penalties in , weight-for-age races operate very badly at times, and the Fcilding Stakes and Oroua Stakes, deoided this week, could be well cited, in that respect; A condition attached to both races limited the penalties from August 1 of, this year. Gloaming, by reason of. his having to be sent into retirement in the uarly spring, remained unpenalised, while Rational was cast in the maximum, penalty for each race, which placed him within lllb of his six-year-old opponent in the first race, while had be been called upon to meet " the flying bay" in the Oroua Stakefl ho would have had to concede him 61b. Under sucn circumstances it is small wonder that Mr. H. B. Gibson did not call upon Rational to meot Gloaming in the Oroua Stakes. It has to be further noted that penalties for the races in Question came to Rational by reason of victories he achieved in handicap events. The extonaivu character of the earthworks undertaken at Arawa Park by the Rotqrua Racing Club necessitated that body making apphoation for a change of venue from Rotorua to Hamilton for the holding of its annual rata meeting fixed for Wednesday. January 11, The Rotorua Club submitted a strong case in making their application, and permission to hold the meeting at Clamlelands has been granted. Sixteen races came up for decision at the Takaouna spring meeting, and, with winners coming from 12 difforent stables, it will be readily recognised that stake-money was well distributed. ,8- Hodge claimed two winnres in Illumination find Archie,' A- E. Cox scored respectively with Some Fashion and Gold Kip, while N. Cunningham won a double with Crowhurst, and 8. J. Reid had a like distinction with Uncle Alex. The other trainers to secure a place on the winning list were:—P- Bolton (Lady Patience), s. Lindsay (Uncle Ned), E. J. Rae (Dovelet), J, Lambess (Killard), F. Cress (Wrangle), J. H. Wallace (Toma-a-roa), J, Peachey (Loyal Arch), and R, E. Brown (Boomerday). Poanui appeared to hold nearly a two lengths advantage of Killard in the Kawau Hurdle Race when the last fence (which proved their undoing) was reached, but opinion is a little divided «is to how the verdict of tho judge would have gone had do accident occurred. Killard had certainly plosed up a, lot of the gap which separated nim from tho leader two furlongs from home, but it waa only by dint of very hard riding that such was accomplished. The manner in which Killard crashed into the fence would ippear to supnoit the view that he was growing very tirod of the struggle • Though Snake had nothinor to his credit yver hurdles, the Quin Abbey gelding was backod to such an extent for the Kawau Hurdle Race at North Shore on Wednosday is to make him favourite B,t one stage. The backers of Snake wore never in a happy position at the prospect* of handling a divilend, for Renniu was very hard on the bay lelding before the concluding mile was entered on, at which point ho was tailed off. Dnake was undoubtedly a pronounced disippointment. Private letters received from Mr. E. W. Vli&pn, jun,, stale that while in England, in addition to tho stallion Tea Tray he purihaied a two-year-old filly by Black Jester son of Polymelia) from My Dolly, by Isin[lass, Tho English-bred filly is regarded in i promising light and all, going well it iB Jr. Alison s intention to givo her an opporunity of earning distinction under silk »ofore she is relegated to' the stud.

At Takapuna- on Saturday last Crowburst only succeeded' in winning'the Ponui Hurdle Race by a head, but with Mb additional poundage he romped away from the, opposition in the Stanley Hurdle Race, decided at the North Shore on Wodnesday. This must be accounted to point to the Rokeby gelding relishing his tasks Oyer the battens, and it can be said for hiia that he carneß a perfectly honest appearance. A good few of those who were present at Devonpdrt 'on Wednesday consider that Refinement had bad luck to loso the Rakino Handicap. It seemed to me as though .Upple Alex always beld tho lead in the straight, but it is stoutly contended that the filly headed the chsstnut colt at one stage. However, bo that as it may, uncle Alex must be givon credit for a gamo display. The son of Bczonian. who had ton weieht (9.6), was always assisting in making the pace, and ho deservsd hie victory. A. Reed came out at the head of the list anion* jockeys competing at the Takapuna sprine meeting, Illumination, Uncle Alex (twice), and Archie respectively winning in his hands. 0. Brown won respectively on Uncle Ned and Dovelet, J. O'Shea got home first on Gold Kip and Boomerday. C. Reod scored on Tama-a-roa and Wrangle, while A. Wood won a double on Crowburst. Tire other successful horsemen were:—Crutcher (Lady Patience), B. Keesing (Some Fashion), N. Rowe (Killard), and J. Percival (Loyal Arch). Cold Steel, who was sent out favourite for the Vauxhall Handicap at the Takapuna meeting but who proved a perfect disappointment, is a highly-bred son of Martian and Snowstell. and lie cost his owner, Mr- B. Joll. lOOOgns when a yearling. Cold Steel ,haß yei to win a race, and,, as there is sorao evidenco of his being likely to be affectod in hard going, his summer prospectß do not look bright. Archie was not equal to taking a hand in the finish of the Alison Cup. but the sevenfurlong course over which the Welter Han (Heap wae run was evidently more to his liking. The Marble Arch gelding went up to win his race at the head of the straight, and he won nicely at the end from Rockfield, to whom he was conceding 81b. Raceful carried himself well when he went out to contest the St. Andrew's Handicap at the Takauuna meeting on Wednesday, but he failed to gain a situation. The son of Martian was bitdly placed at an early stage, and his fate wae quite sealed in 'the last two furlongs and a-half. Raceful may bo seen to better advantage at Ellerslie. What has a right to be regarded as one of the luckiest victories witnessed for a considerable period was that of Loyal Arch in the Enwau Hurdle Race, decided at the North Shore on Wednesday last, and backers of tho bay mare roust have fully recognised that little fact, for she looked practically out of it at the last hurdle.Totalisator receipts nt meetings held outside the Auckland district continue to fall considerably. At the Feildine soring meeting, held on Wednesday and Thursday last, the receipts at _ the totalisator only reached to £58.180. which represents a shrinkage of no less than £31,417 compared with the mm handled at the corresponding meeting last year. Right and Left limped back to the paddock after contesting the St. Andrew's Handicap at Devonnori on Wednesday. The seat of tho trouble was in the off-foreleg, and it will bo no surprise to find him off the scene in tho early summer at least. Lord Star, a three-year-old half-brother (by Lord Multifid) to Royal Abbey, made hie debut under silk at the North Shore on Saturday, when he was saddled up to contest the Vaulthall Handicap. Ho was not siehted near the lenders at the finish, but maybe he will see a better day before long. At present there is no marked favouritism being displayed for any particular candidate for Auckland Cup honours. Amythaß and Uncle Ned are, however, a brace of proved porfprraers who stand weli in popular estimation for the Ellerslie race. Advices to hand 'rom Wanganui credit the Derby colt Thespian with training on satisfactorily. The Sydney Referee assesses that Mr. E. J. Watt has won in stakes £44.198 since 1912. STUD NOTES. BT PHAETOH STALLIONS FOR AUCKLAND The Port Albany, which is due to arrive at Auckland on tho 15th inst., has two highlybred stallions on board for Auckland. Tea Tray was purchased in England by Mr. E. W. Alison, and Valkyrian was seoured there for Dr. 0. Ring. A perusal of the respective pedigrees of these two horses reveals that they trace to many illustrious families, and their importation to Auckland should have far-reaching results. The following are the leading lines in the pedigrees of the two horses expected to arrive here early this month:— TEA TRAY Sire: The Tetrarch, by Roi Herode (son of Le Samaratain) from Vahren, by Bona Vista (son of Bend Or) from Castania, by Hagioscope (son of Speculum). Dam: Good and Gay, by Bayardo (sin of Bay Ronald) from Popinjay, by St- Frusquin (eon of St. Simon) from Chelandry. by Goldfinch (son of Ormonde). VALKYRIAN. Sire: William the Third, by St. Simon (son of Galopin) from Gravity, by Wisdom (son of Blinkhoolie) from Enigma, by The Rake (son of Wild Dayrell). Dam: Valkyr, by Eager (son of Enthusiast) from St. Natalia, by Common (son of Isonoray) from St. Mary, by Hermit (son of Newminster). AUCKLAND RACING CLUB. SUMMER MEETING. First forfeits for the Great Northern Foal Stakes, Great Northern Derby, and 27th Royal Stakes fell due yesterday. The following is a list of the horses left in the races in question:— GREAT NORTHERN FOAL STAKEB,— Refinement, Miss June, Hula Girl, Mountain Lion, Abelard, Zany, Farceur, Uncle Alex, Fingoland, ch c by Finland—War Scare, Shebang, Epitaph. GREAT NORTHERN DERBY.-Pnrole Spur, Winning. Hit, Thespian, Aureate, ihe Hawk, Zero Hour.

The general entries received by the A.R.C. in oonneotion with the forthcoming namqn meeting at Ellerslie constitute a record under almost all headings, the number of horses nominated for the 22 races involved reaching to 879. Owing to pressure of space, the list of general entries is held over until Monday's Ibsuo. Glen Canny was yesterday struck out of all engagements at the A.R.C. Summer Meeting. AUCKLAND TROTTING CLUB. SPLENDID SUMMER ENTRIES. The Auckland Trottins Olub is one© again in the proud position of olajming a record list of entries, and with the same running to 610 in connection with its summer mooting at Alexandra Park the prediction may bo safely offered that the approaching gathering at Epsom will eclipse the most noteworthy of it* predecessors, in a marked degree. The Auckland Trotting Cup, which carries the fine stake of £2000 in addition to a trophy of the value of £100, has attracted an entry of 20, and, with class a feature, there is good reason to anticipate that the club will secure a raco every way in keeping with the occasion. The following is a list of the nominations received for the leading events:— AUCKLAND TROTTING CUP of £2000 and gold cup, value £100, 2 miles.—Child© Pointor, Indra, Dean Dillon, Wild Briar, Man-o'-War, First Carbine, Partner, Grand Voyage flat© Bonnie Voyage), Comedy Chief, Lord Rose, Gold Girl, Steel Bell, Pitaroa, Woodvale, Moneymaker, Nit* Bell, Huon Grattan.
