TE AROHA TROTS.

ROUT OF FAVOURITES. NELLA DILLON WINS CUP. SPRINT TO LITTLE GUY. The-failure of every favourite except one resulted in substantial dividends being paid at the Te Aroha Trotting Club's Annua! Meeting on Saturday, three running info double figures. In spite of perfect weather, t,!ie attendance was small, being affected by the counter-attraction at Piikekohe. and in consequence totalisator investments showed a drop of -12 per cent. The machine handled £BS32 10s, compared with £15.319 10s lasi year, a decrease of £6187.

* The track, although a trifle dead after recent rain, was in excellent order. This was (he first time the remodelled course had been used for trotting and the visitors warmly praised it. A loss on the meeting is inevitable, but the club has cause for much satisfaction in the support given to it hy ovJners, who started a total of 102 hoises in the eight races, making n good average.

Matters are very quiet at Riecarton at present as far as fast work is concerned. A ! large number of horses are m commission. , ;n d there has not been the ieduction in •numbers reported from other centres. The next meeting is at Ashbuiton 1 Muv 23 which will complete the autumn progrnmines The Dunedin meeting early r.cxt month will attract fair from here, but with a poor ot of and only one steeplechaser, Kuikalui, theie may not be many in th.e lumping event Kaikahu is a daily attendant on the tracks, but does not look capable of standing much hard racing. Ihe horse «°" rl probi'bly not have been produced asain but for the dearth of the. opposition offering Aberfeldv has been nominated tor tnc Mnatertnn meeting, and, provided he « favourably handicapped, he will make the trip He lias been given only easy woilc since he fell m the midsummer meeting, and does not appeal as a likely wmnei unless.the field is very weak. G F Moore, of Wain-anm. has sent the three-year-old filly. La. by Absurd-Valerie, to F. D Jones to be prepared for next season's racing ~ Semper Pnratus is to bo tried over the hurdles. He was given his fn'st lesson with Gala Day over the pony hurdles today. hut, after scrambling through at. tho first attempt, refused to go near the fence again and was not persevered with further. Indications are that his trainer, t. E.Tones, will have a lot of trouble to make him a payable proposition. The refusal by the Canterbury district committee of the application of the Westland Racing Club to hold a special meet-: ing at Riecarton on May 30 is disappointing West ('ousters mid local trainers. Oliicelion to the date was made by the Ashburton Club, whose meeting is scheduled for May 23. nnd this wns upheld by the committee. It is • understood tho Westland officials will apply for a later dato, probably June 6.
