Mr. Greenwood, with Mrs. Greenwood, returned this morning from Australia, whence Gloaming, because of sore fetlocks, had preceded him, and of course an inspection of the record-breaker was the first concern of Mr. Greenwood 011 his return . "Poor old chap," remarked Mr. Greenwood, concerning 'lie famous gelding to a reporter. " hut he is looking much better." •"No. my trainer and I hav.m't made up our .minds regarding him." said the owner of Gloaming in answer to a question. "You have got to remember that he j« gelling on in years. In a couple of days wo will turn him out io grass and he will be there until after the November meeting (it an.v"And after November?" asked the reporter." "Well nw> trainer hopes to get ium ready' for short distance races but. as i said we have not made up our minds I'Ot." It will he remembered that Mr. Greenwood's trainei' not only took over Gloaming to Australia, but also Haze and Lucinda. Haze developed a sore front which put the horse out of racing in Australia and Lucinda was not raced. Mr. Greenwood said that. Haze, who had been entered for the New Zealand Cup in November, w*s still n- little sore.

"Do you anticipate that Haze will bo able to start?" lie was asked. "That is in tho hands of tho trainer," was the reply. "When a horse is under a cloud it is always difficult _ to give definite opinions, but Llaze certainly is no worse than he was. Regarding Lticinda, -Mr. Greenwood explained she was rather a light feeder, and as she had not done much work it was decided not to race her in Australia, but it was anticipated that she would appear at tho November mooting.

WANGANUI NOTES.

[BV TELEGRAPH. —OWN ' CORRESPONDENT. ] WAJfGANUI. Tuesday. Dubious continues to train on very satisfactorily, and ho looks like having more than an outside chance it; the iSew Zealand Cud. for which event lie is being specially prepared. Some profess to tliinii this geldiug not class enough tor such a, race, but this remains to bo seen. lie is bred well enough, and he can stay as well as beiug .fairly brilliant. When The Thorn is stripped at Trenthain ho should be in much better shape than he was at the Wanganui meeting, and ho might pick up a stake at the meeting. lie went _ a very good race on the: seeoud day at Wanganui. 6 ail lard has not done much fast work since the. Wanganui meeting, but he is looking well. Me may be taken to Trcntham in preference to Waverley, where he reads well in the Brewer Handicap with 8.10. Some Eed .is doing good work on the tracks and should strip a very fit horse, at Waverley. Ho is in both the sprint event and the Waverloy Cup on Labour Day. Ue may take on the cup. The Wanganui-owned Pillctto ran veil enough at the meeting here to suggest that she will be hard to beat next tune out. She is engaged m the Brewer Handicap at Waverley. Demure is a much-improved mare and ahe may be among the dividend-payers at Waverley. She ran half a mile this morning in company with Gaillard in 51*8. A gelding by Husbandman in P. Lind'.i stable is being schooled over the hurdles, and shapes like one that should do well at the, jumping game. Motley and Deluge went, particularly well in a spin over halt a mile this morning, cutting out the distance very comfortably in 50 2-ss. Kilbnrn has been given a few good gallops lately, and this gelding may make tilings interesting in his engagements at Waverley. Ladv Deiitinek is said to be going well, and if she is a runner in the open sprint at Waverley she will keep the others busy. (3-rand Lupin is in steady work at Waverley and shop Id be in good trim for his races there on the '2lth and iiGth lusts. Some lied put up a good gallop over six furlongs, which lie covered_ in 1m IS 2-5> by himself finishing up well.

Motley is looking and going well cnoufdi to encourage the hope that she will run l>iomin«.*nl.ly at Trcnthani. Janx'S "Rntterwnrlh, a son of Ui« wellknown Wav.-rlcv trainer, had his jaw broken hist Monday while schooling n horse Over the sticks. The . animal fell and crashed oil .lot) of, his rider, who is projr reusing s»tisfactorily.
