NOTES BY “ ADVANCE.” The attention of horse-owners is directed to the programme of tbo Spring Meeting of the- Oiaai Maori Macing Craii, to be lioid on October Sltn^ and link, appearing in another column. The sum ot ibid is given in stakes. Nominations for all events, except the Maiden Elate, close on Tuesday. September 24th, at 8 p.m., with Mr Hema R. TV Ao, Otaki., - . The Avojjdalo Jockey Club’s meeting, which opens to-day, is referred to in the sporting columns of the “Times’' Supplement till* morning. , •• The (fraud National Hurdle Race winner, Haydn, is now a member of Frank McMinamia s Ellorslie team. The stud of the late Mr William Forester was submitted at auction on The 12tb instant. Thirty eight lots realised 2166 guineas. Mr freorge (‘•Tattersall’’)' Adams, who was one of the late Mr Forester’s staunenest friends, purchased fourteen lots.

■; Ocean ran consistently ’ throughout the Raugitikei meeting. His record was two firsts, one second and one third. The first day’s form is referred to in the sporting columns of the Supplement today. On the second day, Mr _H. Harding scored a win with First Light. Her breeding was returned ’ as Remington— Twilight; but she is a Nelson-bred mare by Manawanui—Lignite. She is trained by Alf. Death, who may'be remembered as the rider of Orient in the Wellington Steeplechase some years hack. Kinglet was no,t started on the first day,' but on the concluding day of - the meeting scored easily in the Telegraph Handicap from Fakir. The latter later in the day won his first open handicap for the Wa - nganui lady whose nom do course is Mr Launceston. Aido-de-Camp, stable bompanion of Kinglet, went out fat vourite for the September Handicap, but finished in tbo ruck. As Kinglet only paid £1 ; 14s the - stable would not profit much. - Advance’s half-brother; Laureate, was made favourite for the Hack-Scurry, but finished, badly. The winner! ' Pnketapu, was bred at Momahaki, and was ridden .by young Kennedy, Puketapu is a six year-old gelding by Fraternite, by The Dauphin—Sissio, from Te Whanau, ■by Puriri—Bissie. This is in-breeding with a vengeance. Fraternite was gob in 1888 and. Te Whanau the following /season. A three-year-old half sister to Puketapu, by Sou’wester, was under offer to a patron of Frank Higgo-tt’s, but will probably go to Alf. Shedfsby, at Palmerston NorthFor" alleged inconsistent running at the Rosebery Park Mooting on the 10th instant, the pony Clansman and his owner:wore disqualified-for six month*.! The well known Dunodin penciiler '(Mr Abe Mess) reports having laid 500 to 23 against Melwood - for, the New/ Zealand (hip. The St. Leger colt has been supported to win the Cup by the stable connections. Melwood raced once at the Kangitikci meeting, and, taking his form there as a guide, it will take Davi s all his time to get the colt ready by November.

Fashion started to go sore after the Otaki - meeting, and was going -very short when transferred from the Hutt to Porirua. During the few weeks he has been on the beach he has greatly improved, and it i$ intended to give him a run at Wanganui. He has been supported for the Cup,, but the money, was hot taken on behalf of the owner. . It is not often three of the progeny of one brood mare . score,on the same day. This happened on the 7th in*t. At the South Australian J.C. Meeting the nine year-old ■ Viking (Bridiipord— Busy Bee) won tbs yPelter Handicap, one mile. At Caulfield the same after noon,- Hyrnottus, a seven-yea^.old full brother to Viking, won the Mensie Stakes, nine furlongs, carrying - 9st 410, in 2min IJseo. , At the same meeting the four-year old filly Honeybee (Zar linski—Busy Bee) won the Heatberley Handicap, nine furlongs, carrying 6st 12ib, in 2min Isec. r Viking and Hymettus were bred by the late Mr .W. B. Wilson at St. Albans. Honeybee was bred by-her owner, - Mr A. - S, Chirnside. The New Zealand Cup will he run this day six weeks. _ ' - . It is intended that Tortulla shall race at the Wanganui ahd-Hastings meetings. She has been responsible for some sound work at Porirua, and looks bright and, well; but is perhaps not quite as forward as she was this time last year.- .Her fora at Wanganui and Hastings will be a guide to her Naw Zealand Cup pros* pects. Although the Torpedo mare’s name has appeared in the betting quotations for t lie big spring handicap, she has not been supported by the conncc. tion» of the stable. If ehe v train s on satiofactorily. and ahows form in thia island next month, sbe is pretty afcrtain to ne a starter lor the Cop. Minerva scored her first victory since returning to Sydney at Kensington on the 4tb insfc. She carried lOst 7lb. and won the Welter i Handicap, six furlongs, in Imin 17|sec. ’ Mr Beckett has since sold the daughter of Metal by auction Mr Moss was the purchaser, at 160 gain. eas. Renown is unlikely to make the next payment for the. New Zealand Cup. He has not been engaged for the Hawke’s Bay meeting, and on Saturday last was pat in th« paddock with a view to being taken out of work. During eleven seasons Whakawatea has been racing the Apremont gelding has started on 154 occasions. He won 27 times, was 16 times second, 19 times third,' and 92 times unplaced. i Interviewed recently with reference to

Canteen’s New Zealand Cup ohafice, Mrf Abe Moss is reported to have informed • Dunedin correspondent that none ot Vivandiere’s progeny have yet got a die* ■tance. What about Son of a Gun, who,] alter acting as pacemaker for his * table! companion (Exchange) in New ZeaJ land Cup, acted as runner up to ton ? . WELLINGTON RACING CLUB.
