The Victoria Ainateur Turf Club's Meeting ■was . continued at Caulfield to-day. The weather was fine and there was a large attendanceIn the decision of the Herbert Power Stakes, Eurythmic met with a aensational defeat at the hands of Purser. When a niile had been covered Purser was runnins in sixth Position, but lie was third at the h?ad of the straight, and, staying it out in a stroiis finish, defeated his great opponent. The pace was slow in the early stages of the contest, but the concluding half-mile was reeled off in 4825, and the last six furlongs in lrn lij3 The defeat of Eurythmic caused great excitement. Purser is engaged in the Caulfield Cuj> with 8.7. The Mona Nursery, which attracted a largo field, saw Royal Thought home in front. Ho made a good run in the straight, and his victory was of the attractive order. Royal Thought, when a yearling, was bougnt by Mr. E. Eccles for 3'2sgns.

Gloaming, who, arrived at Trenthamlast week, has made his appearance on tho tracks Ho is in wonderiul condition and lively sa a kitten. Tressayr bas panied Gloaming to Trentham. but Cupidon and Farceur have been .sent home. Mr. Greenwood stated while in Wellington, that CupiJor. would be a starter in. the New Zealand Cup if ho went on all right in tho meantime. Farceur returned with his kncee bearing evidence of the blistering they were given in Australia, but bo wa.ked away sound, and his trainer hopes to get him uuito right again. Gazeworthy. tho winner of the Trial Stakes at Masterton. is trained at Trentham. She is by Roseworthy—Gaze, and is a to Stare, who i 8 one of tho favourite® for the Caulfield Cup Kick Off was brought back to New Zealand by tho Ulimaroa. Tho son of All Black wont wrong in Australia, and could not be raced there. Kyoto " galloped indifferently prior "to the Masterton Meeting, and it came as no surprise to find him failing to repeat in the opening event at that fixture the good form tnat he showed at Otaki. Red Courier, the half eister to Tudic, who was expected to turn out rooci, wa3 badly beaten tho other morning by Bayana in a try out over a sprint couiee. The soring meeting of the Wellington Racing Club will open <?n Saturday next, and will bo concluded on the following Monday. Tho acceptances for the "feting are good, and the fields will be large- Eighteen aro left in tho chief handicap event, including ample material for an excellent contcst V Tho star event of the meeting will bo the Champion Plate, which will be run ten-furlong course at jwciKnt ,for age, ana will bo contested by a field which atmewnt contains Gloaming. The Hawk, Thespian, Winning Hit, and Rouen. Another attractive classic will bo the Wo.leHley Stakes, in which moat of tho season's best two-year-olds will bo seen out. s CANTERBURY. Wednesday. Winning Hit ifl getting through hia tasks nicely, but he is such a lazy workor, that he may reauire some more racing before he is at his best Apart trom that tact ho will have to meet Gloaming in. weight-for-age events, and The Welkin gelding represents form that is rather abovo Autumnua' son. No horse at Riccarton is; doing better than Foo Chow, and his local admirers are sanguine ae to hia New Zealand Cup prospects. , , Royal Star continues to get through useful work, but 1 doubt if ho is such a good horse now as when he won the New Zealand Cup last year. P. V. Mason ha« Vespucci and Pluto in nice order for engagements ahead. This etable will be weak in the two-year-old department in the spring, but there may be a different tale to tell in the autumn, as several good looking youngsters are just making a start. Top Score registered, a highly attractive performance when she won the McLean Stakes at Wingatui recently. She jumped out smartly, and though Bailymena ran well, he was never able to trouble Top Score, who drew away in the last furlong to ; Win in a ridiculous fashion- It was a brilliant effort, and taking a line through Ballymena« running in the North Island, it looke as if Southern two-year-old form was «Qtual to that of tho xtfortH, Top 3cort &ad

Bathos, the respective cracks at present, are not engaged at Trentham. agd much interest will therefore attach, to their probable meeting in tho C.J.C. Welcome Stakes. Top Score is by Autumr.ue—Winning Way, and is a sister to Winning Hit, and judged on her initial effort ahe is going to turn out a good one. The success of Top Score serves to direot attention to the fact that Sir Goorgo Clifford has a very promising lot of tworyear-olds in work this season. There are * two other Autumnue fillies, Wild Hind (Bister to Moorfowl and Royal Stag), also. Owlescombe. from Glenowlet (sister to the dam of Wild Hind). Both these fillies on their track work have prospects as good as Top Score. Owlescombo is to race in the Wellesley Stakes Trentham on Saturday, while, Wild Hind, who had to be easeel recently for a* few days, may be eeen A out at lliccarton next month. In addition, there art) several .well-grown culta, some of whom may win handicaps later on.' Altogether Cutte Brothers havo a fine lot of juveniles under their caro. and it is only a matter of training on prope:rly for them to gather in a lot of money. The decisive manner in which Bonnie Winkie »on the Mv-sgicl Handicap at Wingatui last week, created a very favourable impression, which was enhanced by his easy victory on the eeoond day over a mil* with 9.11 in the saddle. It is a pity' he was withdrawn from the New' Zealand Cup. but ho looks, certain to win some big etakea this season. The imported mare Glentruin won tho eprint race at the Dunedin Meeting on Thursday like a good one. When trained m Southland 'last eeaaon she had the reputation of being fractious, but eince she has been at Riccarton, ahe has improved in her manners and ehe will bear watching tor other events. Many Kittle stood out among the three-Scar-ords racing at the Dunedin Meeting. [e won a hack race on Thursday very easily, and in the decision of the Wanganui Guineas on Saturday ho never looked in danger of defeat. He has a fine turn of speed and ho ran mile out very solidly, suggesting ability to go on a bit further. He may not be equal to a two-mile going in the New Zealand Cup, blit he i« going to win plenty of races yet. It need cause no surprise to find him turning out 'well, as ho is by tho imported Winkie from Siraglow (a sister to Boniform). This reads like a staying pedigree. Angelo ran a decont. race when he finished second to Bonnie Winkie in the Moegiel Handicap. It was his first run in public for six months, and it should do him a lot of good Royal Mac is building up a reputation as a second-day horso. At Ashburton he shut up badly on tho first day and won like a pood horse on the second day—a performance he repeated \ tho following week at Geraldine, while he gave. two similar performances at Wingatui this week. He does very little work between the meetings, and it looks as if he required a race to get him right. Old Gold jumped badly and put littlo life into his racing in the first day's hurdle race at Wingatui. but to-day he was always going well, and ho looked a winner a long way from home. His owner, Mr : R. A. McKenzie, came down for, the meeting, but went homo after the first day. Bonnie Lako, the winner of the Dominion Handicap at the Dunedin meeting, shaped fairly weil in the McLean Stakes on Thursday. She 13 not a big one, but she is a useful galloper who will gain' further two-sear-old honours for her sire Sunny Lake. -j WANGANUI. Wednesday. W. Rayner lia-s gone to Trentliam with" Thespian, Homage, Listowcl, and Deluge. Thespian is looking very well, and lias been doing consistently good worn, tuough ne has not 'yet shown that he retains all the brilliancy he displayed last -season. However, he is sure to run well in whatever events he starts at, TrenthamHomage was a bit 'sore last week, but appears to be all right again now. With her and Deluge to run for him in the Wellesley Stakes Mr. George M. Currie Bhould be well' represented. _ On a recent moaning Thespian (W. Rayner) and Hindi (E. Copestake) were associated in a seven-furlong spin, the latter finishing in front in lm 31s, though Thespian wa 3 under a strong pull. There is no doubt Hindi is palloping ®in fine style, and, if lie is ever going to .win a race, he should do so at Waverley. . liada, Patrogun, and Moulu were sent n mile over the sohooling hurdles. Patrogun gave tho best display, jumping well. Rada took off too soon at the last obstacle,' which she struck hard, and ►her rider (P. McGuire) was pitched off, turning three or four somersaults, but escaping with a shaking. Moulu jumps all right ip a race, but shapes very indifferently in his schooling essays. He has been going well on the flat recently, and should run t>romineutly at Waverley. Tho other moxning Yolande ran a mile in lm 4os. and sne must be hard to beat m her engagements at Waverley if she goes on all right in the meantimeEmpyrean and Crucelle hopped off together for a spin over six furlongs. Tho former soon went to. the front and finished' several lengths to"* the good in lm 19s. Crucelle ia on,the big side, and from appearances it will bo some time before she is in winning form. . /• Zola is looking in great fettle again and going along in line style. He was put.over a couplo of hurdles recently, jumping in dashing style. He was then given a round on the plough, pulling double all the way. Merry Ann had a bit the best of a gallop with Lady Nassau, with Lovebird beaten off. The former has been doing such good work on the tracks that ghe is being ticlsed off as sure to win a race at Waverley, where she is engaged in the Wilson Welter, tho Flying, and the Maiden. Tame Fox has been paid up for in the Cup at Waverjey. and, if he goes to th<s post, the son of Volpone will probably start favourito. Irapuka has been kept in the big event in > preference to the sprint race, and he, with Warrawee. should be hard to beat. Thespian reads particularly well in the Wellmgton Handicap, in which he has only 8.7. Xho son of Absurd is looking well enough for anything, and, with any luck at all in tho running, must bo very dangerous. Listowel has not raced for a long time, and should keep the beat of them very busy" ill the Shorts Handicap. The ,Wansanui Trotting Club has decided to include a district jjiace each day in the programme for the riPeting next February. I his will be a saddxe _event over a mile and a-half. with a. handicap limit of Am, and \vi!l bo open only to horses owned prior to December 1 next within a radius of 45 miles from Wanganui and trained within that district. This race should crow into popularity.
