HAWERA HORSES TWO AVONDALE CANDIDATES CARFEX AND WHENUAKURA [from ouh own correspondent] HAWERA. Fridny Carfex and Whenuakura, the two candidates for the Avondale meeting, will leavo by train next Monday. P. S. Atkins has been engaged to rit'» Carfex in the Avondale Cup and K. Voitre will be on Whenuakura in the Avondale Stakes. Last season Carfe* won one mile and racp and was three times second at the distance. In the Cornwall Handicap at Ellerslie in June he was only narrowly beaten by Beacon Fire. He is in fine order and his prospects look good. He worked nicely over seven furlongs with Richfield today, going at a slow pace early, but coming home strongly in 1.33, the last three in 38s. It will take a good.one to beat Whenuakura in the Avondale Stakes. In his three efforts to date, namely, the two-year-old parade at New Plymouth and the races at Marton and Foxton, he has been succesßfuL Hawera has turned out some smart juveniles in the past. Rational and Lady Cavendish being the best, and those who have watched Whenuakvra's progress will be surprised if he does not continue on his winning way. By Chief Ruler from Silver Link, he has the family characteristic of being particularly smart at the barrier and has been so well cared for by J. Brown that one can confidently expect much improvement from him yet. After racing on the first day at Avondale he will pronably go to Trentham for the Wellesley Stakes. To-day Whenuakur.t worked the reverse way round on the two-year-old track and was very eager. No Doubt is still suffering from the cold He contracted at Wnnganui and will not make the trip to Avondale. Aga Khan and Diagano have freshened up j since the Wnnganui meeting and are bowling along in good style in view of Trentham engagements. To-day they galloped impressively over five furlongs in 1.3. St. Clara sprinted half a mile in 49',s on Tuesday, and was restricted to half-pace work to-day. , ... Round Table is also showing improvement and dashed over three furlongs in 37 2-ss. Attentive, Gibraltar and March Mono were given a useful work-out together over a mile. They took 56s for the first halfmile and th© pace was, increased, Attractive finishing in front of March Alone, with Gibraltar some lengths away, in 1.40, the last three furlongs in 535. Attractive finished on well. . Chief Line hit out well in two rounds of solid pace work. ... , J Fryer's Oriel gave a dashing display over a. round of the schooling iences during the week, and, if he possesses the requisite stamina, he is likely to go a long way 111 the jumping department. The Tig« is being treated to a spell and is unlikely to tbco again before Christinas. WINOOKA-JAMESTOWN MATCH UNLIKELY TO TAKE PLACE BALTIMORE, Oct. 5 The chances of Winooka meeting James, town appear remote, an announcement having been made to-day by Mi» Andrew Ciimnsings, president of the Maryland State Fair, that the association did not «eo its way clear to arrange nucb a race at Laurel. There are several races at Laurel in the next ten days in which Winooka could run. but. it is understood that Mr. It. X\aylor has held out for the match race on the basis of the winner taking all.

PLATEAU IN OPEN COMPANY GOOD VICTORY AT OTAKI Tlie performance of Plateau in winning the Ling Memorial Handicap ot Otaki yeateiday was good for a horse who was haying his first race over ft middle distance in open company. Plateau is a fine stamp of gelding by Acre from Moorefield, hence a full-brother to the well-performed Crown Area, and now that he has proved that he is capable of bridging the gap t between hack and open company he should go on to further success. His record this season is a fourth and two wins in three starts, and his effort yesterday was his best to date. LAST LINK IN FORM Last Link, who notched a win and a second at Wingatui on Thursday, belongs to a family that lias produced some smart gallopers. He is a five-year-old gelding by List Dart from Lady Links, by King Mark from Links, by St. Andrew. Links was tho dam of Hoy, winner of the Great Northern Oaks in 1915, Bootle and Bransfield, winner of the Wellington Steeplechase in 191 G. Last Link has not had much racing, but his performances on Thursday were very encouraging.
