' NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. GLOAMING AND GLENTRUIN. [BY TELEGRAPH.OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ! CHRISTCHURCH. Saturday. Gloaming has done a bit of sprinting lately. He shows plenty of brilliance, and, what is more important, he appears to be quite sound. He may make his first appearance in the six furlongs Waterloo Stages at Trentham next* month. This, by the ; way. will probably be Gleniruin's next race, so it will be a notable event. Gloaming will have no penalty, however, and will thus 1 be at a great advantage. Deucalion, who has shaken clear of the lameness that recently came against him. has been training on well, and he is to be raced at the Manawatu ■ and Marton meet- , ings. The Demosthenes gelding can be ticked off to pay his way during the holiday season. 1 * J. McCombe will take Sunny Loch, Geranial, and Cheat to Manawatu. ant?, then go on to Marton. They have been galloping well. ' . . Upwards of 20 Riccarton horsed will be racing at the Dunedin meeting. They will then scatter, some going to Southland, others to Waikouaitii and some returning straight home. A fair-sized team will also do the West Coast circuit, so Riccarton will be deserted during the r holidays. ; > 4 ; ■ Solferite went sore as a result of the hard tracks, and he is having a spell. He - is a very promising sprinter. 4 - „ i Although the two-year-old Gay Queen is engaged at the Dunedin meeting, she may not race till next month at .Trentham, by which time her owner, - Captain j Tahu Rhodes, will be back in the Dominion. . Cerebus is making a good recovery , from the injuries he reeived in a hurdle race . at Riccarton last month. He - shows little evidence of unsoundness, and it is hoped that he will be all right again in a few weeks. Boadicea, who was given a rest after the Canterbury meeting, is .now doing easy work, but she will not be required to race for some time. ' - ' Serotina, a two-year-old -sister, to Owlscombe (by Autumnus from Glenowlet). has arrived at Riccarton from Stonyhurst, and has joined Cutts brothers' team. The three-year-old Rich Prize (by Antagonist from Sailor's Hope), who went amiss some time ago, hits been sent to the Stony* hurst stud For a spell. , - WELLINGTON. ,C THE AWAPUNI MEETING. ". [by TELEGRAPH.OWN CORRESPONDENT.] " WELLINGTON. Saturlay. The Manawatu. Racing Club's 'Summer Meeting, which opens on 'Boxing Day. looks like pioving - a marked 'success. Eleven horses figure in the Manawatu Cup ana Mr, J. E. Henrys appears to have succeeded well in concealing the winner. : : :^~:y Rational looks to have a chance at annexing the Fitzherbert Handicap at Awapuni. He has been beiten'lately, but in the best of company, and in view of his defeats may. not rule a favourite en Boxing Day. ; v Printemps is goinif s along steadily Trentham, and will be sent to Awapun\ at Christmas time to content the principal handicaps there. • : ■>.' • • Bayana is thriving, m,, being; padlock trained and is now doing all that is asked of her in her work. She may, win , another stake for ' her lady owner if she strikes the company a bit on the weak eide during the holidays. -Va■■ ;■.« ■ , Stream is being got ready for tho Manawatu meeting ana will be triedi in the Welter, -in which the services of an experienced horseman can be availed of. - ' - --v.- y-. ■: Ares continues to gallop well on the track. Seme day this well-bred sprinter will reproduce track form' and will lead a - good field home;- v ' : :v Paula, owned by' Mr. Edwards, a new addition to the Wellington list of owners, .is to make the trio <o Awapuni. On her showing at Woodville she ; is j far i from a champion. ■ _ , , ■ Happy Days v has now been up a considerable time, but he continues' r<a "- got •through good work on the ..tracks and will he seep out at the Manawatij meeting.,' Few horse/ have raced more consistently.cr,: with worse luck than the .? coastal «elding. He is not a bad sort and seems to be improving J with' experience. __ „ „ She Wellington owner, Mr.; W. H. Ballmper broke a long list of outs this when he won a race at Woodvule .with Waetea. This mare is .now/undtr tha ,care Of W. Young.. She - has . built lip * lately, A and ?. was presented at Woodville carrying - more condition than usual. -She ran a good race on the second day ;of the meeting -when she led for the greater part of the journey and finished a close third, .< In weaker.:: company at Dannevirke she looked »1 good wager and yet was allowed to pay a - substantial dm6Tanadees If going to Auckland to contest the ■ Foal - Stakes, but hi : need not be ' looked , to to beat i Motley, Inferno - or Killocra. * • Good , progress is ; being made -at Trentham with i the - newsstand ; and ? patrons ;or tie coming Cup meeting will see numerous *' Helen Rufus ran much below ». form «t Helen Rolus ran much , below form - flt Dannevirke,. ■ and lit is probable she - will hKow an improvement m the •> near future.
