AVONDALE CUP FAVOURITE.

HISTORIC AND HIS RECORD.

BT PHAETO2F. Historic having opened his five-year-old career with, an attractive victory in the Winter <Ccp. in which race he carried 10.4 and beat a field of IT ia easy style, he is 'en the scene as a fancied candidate for honours in tbe Avon dale Cop- Last season the son of Nassau won the Liverpool Handicap, nine furlongs, at the Haniwa.ta Summer, Meeting under B.L and is tie decision of the Consolation Handicap, 1} miles, at Trentham last January. he carried 6.2 into second place, half a length behind White Fang, to wham he was conceding lfllb. The IS furlongs were encompassed in 2m Ta. which may be accepted as proof that be can gallop that distance welL With S.II Historic has hia fell quota of poundage for the Avondale Cup, but there is a good ring about bis name far to-morrow's race. Up to date Eistoric baa contested 34 races and his record stands as ioilcws:— DaFirst. Second, a bird, placed. . At 2vtb .. 0 0 0 6 At 3ym ..1 2 0 10 At 4yrs .. 4 5 1 4 At syrs .. 1 0 0 0 "I 1 1 20 PROMISING TWO-YEAR-OLD. I , ' ___ HIGHLY-BRED CYLINDER. At the dispersal sale of the Kinloch Stud fa Canterbury last year the English-bred mare Cymene. with a cult foal at foot Ly Limond and in foal to the acme horse, gave rise to spirited bidding. Mr. A. B. Williams stayed the longest in the competition that ensued and hia concluding bid of SESOgns silenced the opposition. The colt :foal tkit followed Cymenu intu the ring in January, 192S* is now included among the two-year-olds under the name of Cylinder, and be is esperted to make his deb at in tbe AwmtbiSe Stake* to-nsorrow. The -cadins Eftw in Cylinders pedigree read as fcilowa:— Sire: Limond. by Desmond !son of St. Siainu and grandson of Galopini from Linda!, by Kendal (sou of Bend Or) from Sunrise, by Springfield (son of St. AJhanai. Darn: Cymene, by Cyigad (son of CarCehe and grandscn of Bona Vista) from Hippocreme, by Spearmint (son cf Carbine! from Glass DaEL, by Isinglass Isou of lacnotcy). COUNT CAVOUR. . WILL VETERAN COME BACK? . What will be regarded as a pleasing item to baud from Canterbury is that with referesce to Count Cavoar, who is stated to be acquitting himself so well in bis training work as to engender Strang hopes that be may come back this season. " The Count" went 'hrungh the whole of ltet season without earning a winning bracket, but in considering the veteran's performances at that stage the fact should not be overlooked that he suffered a bad fall whsa he came down in contesting the A..S.C. Handicap at EEerslie on scw Year's .'Day. 1229. PoKfably that may have «sected the veteran for a lander period' than estemal observation disclosed. However, here we have tbe pleasing item that Count Cavoar ia striding along well at the outset of his ■igh'i-year-old career, and it is therefore pretty. aufe to conclude that, in the event of all eontinuins to go well with the veteran, he will once again be found among the contestants for the next New Zealand Cup, in which be is weighted at 8-3. which, it may be remarked, is 101b. below tbe impost under which be won tbe bis race at Sicr.artoa in the spring of 1225. LADY OWNER'S SUCCESS. MAY HAVE CUP WINNER. / A lady. Mrs. L. B. Burton, who baa been facing horses in Victoria for a few years back with success, owna a brace of good performers at this stage in the shape of Highland and High Syce. This pair were produced to contest tbe 3£ran3ie Stakes, nine farlonga, run at Caalfieid on the Tib itiut., and in a stirring stilth Highland beat his Btabie mate by a long neck. Highland and High Syce are both engaged in the Canine';d Cap, tbe former being handicapped at 9.1 and the latter at 9.4. At law advicsß High Syce was at the bead «f the quotations and a prediction was offered that he will probably continue to do so unless some of tbe three-year-olds engaged, at preawit miaowa quantities, high-class iorm.
