Frivolous cut one of her legs while running in the paddock a few days ago. Her injuries are not serious, and though she was allowed to forfeit her engagement at Motukarara on Saturday she is again in work, and doubtless she will be racing at some of the meetings near at hand. Tigerland renewed his acquaintance with the training tracks on Tuesday morning for the first time since his holiday. He is in splendid order to commence a preparation. Whipcord v* as also at headquarters. He was only given light exercise. He is not in the same condition as his stable companion, and will require building up before being placed in serious uork. The three-year-old gelding. Quarrelsome, is now one of the workers con- . rected with R. McKay’s string, says “Sir Modred.’* A serious illness last season is stated to have caused a shrinkage of the muscles noticeable over bis hindquarters, but, otherwise, lie is a very nice gelding and moves very freely walking or cantering. At one time in J. MrComfce’s stable, the son of Martian —Leading Ladv’ is a typical son of his well-known sire, and l°oks out upon the world from one of the gamest heads imaginable. Battle Flag having been returned to her owuers in the meantime to mature and develop, her place in J. A. Rowland’s leam at Invercargill has been taken by blaster Sandstone, who is not to he hurried in his preparation following on an operation for respiratory i roubles.

I At Riccarton on Tuesday Count Cavour, was out doing useful work. He | looks well, and is in good fettle, j Rather a novelty in jumping was performed at Riccarton on Tuesday, when J. B. Pearson sent four of his I cross-country performers over four j flights of hurdles. It is quite a rare j thing to see. four horses school to|gether, and just as rare to , Ree a i number from one stable. The eontest- ! ants were His Majesfv (F. Shaw), , Ethiopian (G. Salt), Naimlitv Peter fP. Lloyd), and Blue Hall CO. Cullum). The quartet jumped rfF to a good start, and crossed each obstacle in ! line, finishing up tlie task almost j abreast. Tt was a good exhibition. > Roval Tea. the Tea Tray two-year-old that was recently sent, from Ellorslie to Sydney, won at Rosehill on Saturday. The colt showed a fair amount of nace when raring hero, but not up ill the weights without retting a great deal of stake money. Tt’ was for . that reason that his owner decided to send him to the other side and his win on Saturday augurs, moll far his future prospects. Royal j Tea is in G. Price’s stable at Randwic-k. | Pegnway found sufficient supnort, to sand him out second favourite for the lOkoroire Hack Cun af, Metadata, huT ha never threatened to he dangerous. j’His form was not correct and can 1 nrohably ho dismissed without much 1 a lice.

i The jumpers Ca.nstar and Bourn were competitors in flat events at Mata mate. and both \roV r ‘ A W oll forward. Bourn finished fifth in the ffinuera Handicap and should fo improved by the run. Tt is stated that 'in will compete in the hurdle events it Paeroa.

“STONE TOO U!TIE” ~ ROYAL TEA’S HANDICAP CONTROVERSY IN AUSTRALIA Bv Telegraph.- 'Vr : * Copyright. (Received March m. 7.5 p.m.) SYDNEY March 10 Considerable controversy has, arisen over the handicapping of the New Zealand gelding Royal Tea, which won in the second division of the Nurserj Handicap at Rosehill. It is the general opinion that Roval Tea carried a stone ten little. The hnndicapper’s ebamnions assert that the horse was weighted os a horse which had not previously raced, instead of as a winner of a race and the run-ner-up of another in the Dominion. Support for the allegation that the horse was not correctly registered is given by the fact tlwt the race book did not show the init’Ms of the c"imtrv wligr?iii it last raced as demanded bv the Australian Jockey Club’s rules. Seme racegoers are demanding an inquiry.

rtepipton wqa backed down, to a ahort price for the Linton Handicap but began badly and broke up, never really recovering his gait. Miss Leda at once went to ihofront and was never beaded, Other placed horses, Blaok Palm and Havjand,' also being prominent throughout. Back markers, Some Jazz and Roe Bell, were well up at the finish but had ft hopeless task. Brian Biugen and Keropton were closest to the placed division. 'There was even betting in the Ladies’ Bracelet, Halmore winding up a better 'favourite than Little Huia and Limited, bracketed,. which provided the .winner in ' Little Huia It was a close contest for second money, Hal H uon with' a steadier gait stalling off * the favourite. The winner went' early to the front and gave a very good performance, neveb being headed. Lady Zoe, Halmore, and Zo MdKinney were behind the leader for the first mile, but Hal Huon here moved into p£f'Olld, place and stayed there, while—" Lady? Zoe finished fourth. Van Map, Tawjp. King, and Audubon Patch took no" part in the race. Audalion was the elect of the backers for the Stewards’ Handicap, but she had to strike her colours to Van Rich, which won very comfortably by a length. , Lady '/,00 led the first time round from the fgvourito. and Laurier caught the winner going quickly up to fourth place half a mile from home, and taking charge hefofe the straight- was reached Audalion waß five lengths, ahead of Laurier- "Then fijswne Zoe, High peas.(the hack"' marker), and Golden Morn. Gladys. Gple was run inti) by Rena, and was withdrawn from tlie race. Rona's driver, E. O’Neill, was thrown upon the rails and sustained two broken ribs. Van Rich, the winner of the previous race, was the only non-starter for the Clip. Holly Bell was favourite in a {food betting race, with The Shrew and Sea Pearl the. best- backed of the others. The public’s judgment proved sound, os these three fined the places. Erin s Royal led over the first mile, at the end'of which h« h«vd a slight advantage, of Bipplour,' Kq(dritea, Sea Pearl, and Holly Bel), The Shrew ran UP to fifth) going away again. Sea Pearl had- charge at the half-mile from Holly Bell and The Shrew, and won pulling up by two lengths, with The Shrew only a head behind. Holly Beil, Daphne, Wildwood, apd Erin’s Royal were next. Noble Dillon and Audubon Patch. gt once struck .a_ gait and kept ahead of the field throughout in the Loneburn Handicap. Nobje Dillon led Advantage at the straight, hut in .'the run home Audubon Patch • prevailed hy two lengths- Blue Glen, slightly the better favourite than Hal Huon, went well for third money, and the latter was fourth. Halmore fell early in the race and interfered slightly with Lady Zoe and Hal Huon. Dumas and Tui Zolock were evenly backed for the Awapuni Handicap, quo the former, after going away slpwjy, fell, and the latter-never got up to the firing line. Limited led early, hut the order past the stand the first time was Clarion Chimes, Great Kevin, and Limited. Loekette took charge down the back and kept in front, to win narrowly from Gladys Cole and pay a great price. Clarion Chimes was a length away third, and Great Kevin fourth. It was the best race of fho day. Molly Audubon was favourite ‘foi the Palmerston Handicap, which was a great betting race.' Grattan Wilkes held the lead for a little while, then Wakefield and Black Palm took up the running, <he former eventually ■winning easily. At the end of a mile the order was Black Palm, Wakefield, Annette, Roe Bell, and the favourite. Plunder made up ground over the last half-mile,' and finished up close behind Annette. Gibraltar was the ro>,k on which the puntprs came to final ' financial shipwreck. The favourite led for tfie first thrpe furlongs, then Jpan Darling and The Shrew went to the front and stayed there, a great duel ending in victory for Jean Darling by two lengths. Holly Bell was a poor third, then came Kokoritea 1 and Erin’s #qyal.
