NOTES FROM WANGANTJI.

KOWHATU JUMPING WELL.

LAUGHING PRINCE'S PROGRESS

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN COPwRESPONDENT. ] , . WANGANUI, Monday. Laughing Princo iB getting through his work in a stylo which suggests that he will bo in fairly good fettlo for tho Wanganui meeting. It is matter of Laughing Prince keeping, sound for him to win a raco or two during tho winter, as there is no doubt as to his quality and lie has shown that soft going does not trouble him. Ivowhatu lias bocn doing particularly well in his schooling essays over the big fences, and if he jumps as well in his coming engagements ho will bo hard to beat. Royal Tractor is moro or less unsound, but ho hit out freely on Saturday in covering six furlongs in lm 20s by himself on the outside of the courso proper, with the flags Home 18ft. out. It was not a bad gallop, us ho did it well within himself. Auctioneer is to fulfil his 'engagements at Hawera on Thursday and Saturday and will be ridden by W. Homo. On Saturday ho shaped well in a spin over' six furlongs in company with Kowliatu. The time registered was lm 21 3-ss, • but Auctioneer vas going along very comfortably. Although Zareue has been nominated for events at the Wanganui meeting, the chances aro that she will not compete.

Paratoo is in work again, and, if he t'oes on all right, ho will probably race at Trenthain in July. It is to bo hoped lie trains on, as he gives promise of furnishing into a good three-year-old. Fernden is to bo given a spell for about sis weeks.

Yalma is being schooled over the hurdles and is shaping fairly well. Paleta is shaping up well and he gave evidence on Saturday that he is regaining some of his old-time pace. In a spin with Mnngahaere ho ran tho first Quarter in 255, and tho pair were together at tho end of half-a-milo in 52js, with Paleta going easily. Paleta is to run in tho Flying Handicap at Hawera on Thursday.

Double Soult and Fabriano havo arrived at Wanganui from the South. Tho former has been left in tho Hack Steeplechase at Hawera, but Fabriano lias dropped out of the Egmont Steeplechase. Black Duke and Overhaul have been scratched for their Wanganui engagements.

HORSES FOR WANGANUI.

KAWINI AND ODIN TO GO.

Although there might not bo many, thero will be fiomo Auckland horses competing nt the Wanganui Jockey Club's next week and among them will be -Kawim and Odin, who will be runners in the Wanganui Steeplechase on the first day. As a result of a knock he received while racing at To Rapa. several weeks ago, Kawini was unable to keep his autumn engagements at Ellerslie and Avondale, rnd evidently R. Hall is making the 6outhern trip with a view to giving his chargo another race or two before tho Great Northerns. Odin has been working along satisfactorily lately and took no harm from his fall in the Autumn Steeplechase, in which ho fell before going once round. Ab he is usually a reliable fencer, Odin should be capable of a bold showing with tho minimum in the Wanganui Steeplechase. PHAR LAP'S MISSION. J. PIKE RIDER IN KING'S CUP. Phar Lap was taken from Sydney to Melbourne last week and, was to havo n few days' rest before going on to Adelaide foi the King's Cup meeting. J. Pike, one of tho leading riders in Australia, ha 3 been engaged to ride him in tho King s Cup, .and he will also have the mount in tho Adelaido Cup .if Phar Lap starts in that race. Phar Lap is also engaged in the Elder Stakes, weight-for-age, and as his weight in that event is only 8.4, W. Elliott will havo the ride. ' Tho South Australian Jockey Club's meeting opens next Saturday, The second day (Adelaido Cup) on Wednesday, May 14, and the third day (King's Cup) on Saturday; May 17. '

RACING ON A BIG SCALE. H. R. TELFORD LAUNCHES OUT. FI. R. Telford, lesseo of Phar Lap, obviously' intends taking a much more active part in tho turf when ho settles down at his new quarters at Mentone, Melbourne, than lie did in Sydney. Telford generally had ono or two horses in training while ho was located at Kensington, but sinco Phar Lap's wonderful rise to famo he has gradually increased his team with experienced gallopers, and at tho yearling sales this year ho was ono of tho biggest buyers. Three youngsters were knocked down to him at tho New Zealand sales for 1100 guineas, and at tho Melbourne sales ho secured four for 1175 guineas. lie however, doubled his efforts in Sydney by purchasing seven moro yearlings for 1110 guineas, making a total of 11 youngsters for 3385 guineas, an average of 211} guineas. The yearlings secured by him ranged in price from 70 guineas for a (illy by Ornamentation from tho New Zealandbred mare Starlike, to POO guineas for tho Chief Kuler— Rapturo filly. Altogether Telford will have about 20 horses in training when ho takes up his new quarters. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. " Argument," Takapuna.—-L.
