The three-year-old. gel'ding by Logan Pointer from Belette is training on in good sty}®. The brother to Lady Joan has _not been hurried in his preparation, and is one of the most promising young-pacers in Work at headquarters. He is a good;deal larger than his brilliant sister, andfhas a very easy style of pacing, going without' much effort. The, few occasions' on which he has, been sent along ' faVt he showed that ho had a great turn« of speed. , r : -i \. ' .. . The pacer Wenlo. has built up considerably during the winter months; and this useful young 'hoarse should-'not be: long : before h<* secures; a stake. -V'."'. A. -"Cox?

The three-year-old trotter by First Fashion in A. Cox's stable is training on the ,rj|tht way. He' has not • been speeded up much, and 'appears to .be still growing.

His trainer is " particularly pleased with the manner in which the youngsterv does his ' work, and. Cox',has had a lot of experience with young . trotters.

REGISTRATION OF COLOURS.

The' list -of colours registered with, the New •-Zealand - Trotting Assotiation; which ha?, been growing so steadily during the last few years.-has become so overloaded with colours claimed by owners who have' ceased to- s take an active part in the report ' that it has been found liecess.'&ry to dealwith the matter at issue. The ; following is thenew rulis brought into forca: '' It Bhall be; compulsory to reregister all colours on or 'before August '3l,' 1926, otherwise "the registration of, all . colours theretofore registered ''shall Japjje (and thereafter" the registration of all colours -shall lapse): if not reregistered during the month-of August in every third;year from the year 1926. Provided always that the 'secretary. of the.' association shall," at least two months before the time appointed for the of .colours.- continuouiily notify that the Registration of colours will lapse if not reregistered, A fee of 5b shall be. naid upon each reregistration of colours." The effect of this rule is that if-the colours are'.not'- reregistered the registrflrtion of. such-will lapse.
