TE AWAMUTU HOUSES.

PROTOMINT GOES SOUTH.

SEA RULER THRIVING WELL

EMANCIPATION AS A JUMPER.

[FROM 0-:n OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

TE AWAMUTU. Tuesday,

There is increasing activity on the tracks at To Awamulu, and most of the horses who have been on the easy list have resumed work.

W. Cathro has had two recent additions to his team. One is a full-sister to La Justice, by Chief Ruler from Rapture, and the other a half-brother, by Musketoon, to Miss Poloa. Both are rising two-year-olds. The Chief Ruler filly is very neat, and her appearance indicates that she has done a fair amount of work. The Musketoon colt is rather small, but is built on very solid lines. He displays a nice turn of speed. Sea Ruler ha 3 been kept in easy work all through the winter, and he ia now being sent along more seriously. Sea Ruler has grown, and is developing into a fine type of horse. Geo. Paul's team of six horses, comprising Shamgar; Kanapa, Marechal, Trislina, Len and a gelding by Musketoon, all recommenced track work at the beginning of the month. They are all in good order. Emancipation lias been given achooling lessons lotely, and is showing improvement in his jumping. Ho did not relish his first school, but is doing better with each effort. A Good Gallop. Protomint left for Trentham last night to compete on the second and third dayß of the Wellington meeting. He has been galloping well, and his effort last Saturday morning in galloping seven furlongs in 1.30 1-5 Jrom a barrier start about Sft. out from the rails was good. Protomint should perform well in his Southern engagements. It was originally intended that Nassau Lady should accompany Protomint to Trentham, but she was off colour last week and it was decided to leave her home. Sho had been galloping better than usual, but even at best she is only fair, and it would have been difficult to place her to advantage at Trentham. R. Savage's two-year-olds, Erination and Loombination, aro coining on nicely. Tho latter is going to be a big three-year-old. who may show some improvement in tho new season. , Barubury continues to stand up lo his work, and lie is roundirtg into shapo nicely. Bambury is developing well, and , should prove a smart- splinter if all goes well witli him. The Chief Ruler—Miss Sphinx filly in W. Cnthro's stable is progressing as rapidly as any of her ujje and, although big, sho shows enough speed to suggest that sho will race; well as a two-year-old. Miss .Lorraine, while lengthening out, does not appear to havo grown to any extent during the past few months. Her stable companion,. Jonathan, has developed into a big gelding, and with age may prove tlie better of the-two. Foreign Money's Progress. Foreign Money has not been long back on the tracks, but he lias done a good deal of work. Last Saturday morning lie assisted Protomint over; the last three furlongs of seven arid showed a nice turn of speed. The General Latour—March gelding in A. Cook's charge, although not in work as long ae some of the other rising two-year-olds in the same stable, is doing his work attractively. He shows a lot of quality. King's Knave, now in A. Cook's stable, has resumed regular work, and, although lie has only been working for a week, he is already showing the benefit of steady exercise. J. Fletcher is hacking Beryl Latour about the roads again after a short spell. Beryl Latour is in fine condition to start work ncain. havinK done well during her holiday on her owner's farm. Sir Musk had his first gallop since racing at Te Rapa. when he assisted Prolo/hint over the last five of seven furlongs last week. Although Protomint beat him hume, Sir Musk showed ertongh speed t« indicate that lie will be more than useful with a little more time- He is a very bold and detcrfniriecl mover.

NEW SEASON'S RACING.

DATES IN AUCKLAND.

WAIPAPAKAURI CLUB'S POSITION

[by telegraph.—racing reporter.] WELLINGTON, Tuesday.

Dates for race meetings in the Auckland province next season were to-day approved by the New Zealand Racipg Conference on the recommendation of tho Dates Committee with one or two changes from tho dates originally applied for. The Avondale Jockey Club has been granted October 15 and 17 for its spring meeting, the Whangarei Racing- Club, November 10 and 12 (instead of November 3 and 5); the Auckland Racing Club, November 5 and 7; tho Dargavillo Racing Club, December 1 and 3 (instead of November 10 and 12); the Thames Jockey Club, January 12 and 14 (instead of January 19 and 21; Avondale Autumn Meeting, April 22' and 24 (instead of April 1 and 8). Auckland's spring dates now revert to the first two days of the New Zealand Cup carnival atl Riccarton.

Dr. M. G. Louisson (Canterbury Jockey Club) said he presumed the objection lodged by his club against Auckland being awarded these dates had been thoroughly considered. He raised the question of owners who had entered horses for classio races both at Ellerslio and Riccarton, never thinking that these meetings would bo held at tho same time.

Mr. O. S. Watkins, president of the conference, said he thought the Auckland Racing Club would probably make some arrangement with the owners concerned.

Mr. H. O. Nolan, president of the . Auckland Racing Club, said the club had not yet considered the matter because it could not do so until the dates were definitely fixed.

The amalsramation of the Gisborne Racing Club with the Poverty Bay Turf Club was approved and the four days formerly granted to the Gisborne Racing Club were allocated to the Poverty Bay Turf Club. Applications by 16 clubs for extra days, including Avondale, Takapuna, Matamata, Waipa, Bay of Plenty, Ohinemuri, Franklin, Waikato and Rotorua, were declined as there were no spare days available. The Waipapakauri Racing Club will be notified that if it does not hold a one-day totalisator meeting next season the day will be permanently allocated to soine other club in the Auckland district.
