, PROMISING JUVENILE.

CYLINDER . DEVELOPING WELL.

■tfhile it has to be recognised that Cylinder . advantageously placed in being unrealised for the North Island Challenge «*ke? while Pa'ganelli. who ran his young j { a a head for first honours, had the n to { it on the score of poundage, still ths Brit displayed by the youngster clearly Loastrated that he relished his racing. mL as the seven furlongs were covered m im 2fis that may be accepted as proof •Dositivo 'that there was no loitering on the load." Cylinder is developing •. nicely and there is encouragement to include him with the most promising aspirants for classic honours at three years old for in addition , v.% good looks, he can boast of a stont pedigree, the leading linea of which read aa follows: — gire: Limond, by Desmond (son of St Simon) .from Lindal, by Kendal (son of Beni Or) from Sunrise, by Springfield (son of St. Albans). 1 , Dim: Cymeue, by Cylgad (son of Cyllene) from Hippocrene, by Spearmint (son of Carbine) from Glass Jug. by Isinglass (son of Isonomy).

Stakes and the Avongale All-Aged Stakes are two events to be run in Auckland next month that may be expected to find Cylinder on hand to contest for further honours.

" CRACK OF THE SEASON."-

the carbine strain.

Bnch was the heading surmounting an erticle in a He* York journal in referring to "Whichane. the leading two-year-old that performed attractively in the United States last • year. ....Well, the .interesting fact brought to light-in a.perusal of the eulogy 'conferred on Whichone is that the colt t-aces io Carbine on the sire's side. Whichone is by Chicle (son of Spearmint and grandson of Carbine). Chi.cle has already Tron a place among the leading sires o£ the United States.

HIGH-PRICED FAILURE.

SOLD FOR 180 GUINEAS.

/ For a yearling offered at auction to bo introduced as a iull-brother to a noteworthy performer has played an important part on many occasions in carrying tho bidding to i high standard, and that, too, in the face of many illustrations that horses similarly bred can be widely different in i racing Of this we have a pointed I illustration in the case of Manfred and i Murthong. In the spring of 1923 Manfred ! fbj Valais—Otford) was credited with a i sensational performance when he won the i A.J.C. Derby,'" and " a great colt" was the popular finding. In the autumn succeeding that in which Manfred put up his great performance his yearling full-brother figured i ,*moug the youngsters submitted to auction I at Eandwick, 'and Mr. B. Chaffey was encouraged to carry the bidding to 2750 guineas in' th» hope that the colt would irive him a second , Manfred. lhe colt,

however, proved a marked disappointment, and. as ha was allowed to go at auction last week for 180 guineas, it can be well imagined thai be was rated at the low •laniard. -

Cbrysology of good physique and he may ha expected to improve as ago comes to him.

ARRAY OP GOLD CDPS. If a large array of gold cups depicting tie winning exploits of his horses bring loy to the heart of an owner —and one can tifely assume that it would—then the Hawice's Bay sportsman, Mr. A. B. "Williams, must be rendered very happy as he surreys the same. The trophies that came to Hr. Williams as the result of Rapine 3 conquests number seven, viz., Wellington Cup, Auckland. Cup. Trentham Gold Cup, Awapani Gold Cup, G. G. Stead Gold Cup. H&wke's Bay Cup and Wanganui Cup. Star Stranger hta also made a contribution to the collection in the shape of the Wellington Cup, Trenfharn Gold Cup (twice), *sd the Awapnni Gold Cup.
