STEEPLES THRILLS EIGHT RUNNERS ALL FALL AMUSING ADELAIDE CONTEST (Received June 25, 5.6 p.m.) ADELAIDE, .Tune 2r> The crowd was convulsed with laughter at the Adelaide Hunt Club races yesterday, when the eight horses participating in the Steeplechase fell Two were remounted and Fire Prince ran home the winner from Glenhaven. Optical was also remounted, but he crashed a second time, otherwise he would have gained third place. TURF JOTTINGS TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP Lute String, the dam of Mr. W. H. Gaisford's colt. Lutanist. was sold by auction in Sydney this month for 20 guineas. Many well-bred horses went very eheaplv. In the autumn. Yours Truly struck very good form, winning three races, nil beyond a mile, in succession. One of these events was the Champion Hack Cup at Trcntham and he followed up these performances with a second to Dainty Sue in the Hawkc's Bay Cup and a third in the Easter Handicap at Taulierenikau. Ho was then spelled but made a happy return to racing in the Taipua Handicap at Otaki, while ho claims engagement also in the Whyto Handicap at Trcntham.

It is probable that the Riccarton trainer, Mrs. J. Campbell, will hare four runners in the Cashmere Plate at the Grand National mooting. The four are Trumpeter Sound, a half-brother to Conccrtpitch; Scartccn, brother to Vintage; Agcratum, half-brother to Night Hawk, and a gelding by Martarma from Wnrtono. The first-named three are rising three-year-olds and the Martarma gelding rising four. They are said to be as good a team of maidens as any Canterbury stable has had for some time.

A race limited to horses owned by women has been introduced at Hurst Park, Kngland. It is called the "Golden Apple," and is a mile handicap of £250. including a cup valued at C2n at the option of tho winner, The conditions state that the race is for three-year-olds and upward that, on and since April 25, 1930, and up to tho time of running, have been the property unconditionally and free from contingency. of a lady or ladies. It has closed with 34 entries. Miss Dorothy Paget tins made four. The name given to the race has reference to tho > judgment of Paris, son of Priam, King of Troy, when Venus, Juno and Minerva each claimed tho golden apple to bo awarded to the most beautiful.
