The news from Wanganui that the appeal by A. Julian to the Metropolitan committee of the Wanganui Jockey Club against the twelve months’ disqualification imposed by the stewards of the W.J.U. uau been dismissed caused but Little surprise, at all events to those who witnessed the race. The commitcc evidently went very fully into the matter, judging by the protracted nature of the silting, and the Auckland horseman was given every opportunity to explain his peculiar riding ol Napper in tne Had toko Hurdles. It is evident that he was unable to do this satisfactorily, and he will accordingly have to stand down for a period of twoi-vo mouths.

The Now Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club will bring off ila August meeting at Addington on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next. The acceptances axe excellent, including some of the beet trotters in the Dominion.

Mr IT. A.

Quality was raced by him, and he won the Adelaide Cup of 1892 with Jericho. He won the St Leger with Jericho and Kalitetoa. Quality won the Oukaparinga Cup. The Australian light-weight, W. Huxley, accomplished a good riding performance in the Newbury Summer Oitp, of 1250 so vs, at the end of June. Owing to the condition of the race the Royal Hunt Cup winner Moseato was allowed to compete without a penalty, and backers tumbled over each other to lay odds on the good thing. Mosoato appeared to bo winning easily when little Huxley brought Sponsor with a rush and succeeded in making a dead heat of it with the favourite in the last stride. In the run-off long odds were laid on Moecato, but Huxley dashed away on Sponsor, made all the running, and won easily, the result being a rare turn-up for the ring. A SPORTING MATCH If the projected match really comes off in England between Hornet's Beauty and Sunder the contest will arouse an enormous amount of interest. Sunder is a fonr-yoar-okl eon of Sundridge, and has only once during his career been beaten. He is undoubtedly one of the fastest horses in training.. On the other hand, Hornet's Beauty, who is described as a grand-looking three-year-old by Trcdennis from Lady Bavm, won three races as a two-year-old, and has added nine more to his list this year, not so far having known defeat. Three smashing victories at Ascot have greatly enhanced his* reputation, and there is no knowing how good ho really is. for so far nothing has been able to extend him. There is - every prospect of the match, which will be for £SOO a side, coming off. A sporting match of the kind always arouses vast interest, and at ono time they were quite common, but nowadays are a rarity. With two such filers in opposition very fast time should ho recorded.
