Mr. A. Lile, of New Plymouth, has not been long in getting_ a horse to replace his good jumper Illuminate, and has placed Whoa Johnny under the ehftirge of J. O'Neill. Whoa Johnny is a big well-made four-yeai'-old by Tribulation, and looks an ideal cut of a jumper.

The amateur rider Mr. W. R. Duncan, of Hunteiville, received painful injuries when he fell 30ft from a walnut tree laßt week. His back was slightly injured and he suffered from shock. Mr Duncan intended to be on one of the runners in tho Ladies' Necklace at Marton last Saturday.

Chile will be having his first race over country when he uontests the Egmont. Steeplechase at Hawera to-day. The Limond gelding has shown promise in his schooling efforts at Trentham, and he should he quite rarnble of jumping tho country at Hawera. which is not difficult. Chile Won recently over hurdles, and is an improver who may do well this winter.

There are some speedy beginners in the Hack Scurry at Hawera to-day, and among them are the . Aucklandem, Te Hai, Lion Heart and Queen Nona. Te Hai gave a little trouble at the post at his last start and was eventually sent to the outside after going through the tapes several times. However, he finds his feet very quickly, and with an even jump out should take a 10l of beating to-day. ""

The New Zealand-bred Wakatipn, now four years old, made a bold attempt to win the March Handicap, one mile, at a meeting in South Africa on March 1, but failed by over a length to reach the lightlyweighted six-year-old horse Matador, who was in receipt of So|b from him. Matador assisted in all the running, and racing clear in the straight he easily held off Wakatipu's challenge in the last furlong.
