TILLEY'S TALLY.

A Fortunate Fordellite. The striking feature of the Wan.ganui meeting last week was the success of "the^Fordell trainer, F. Tilley, whose Horses "'acoOurited' for nearly half 'the- races ' ! on the' prograrriine; Tilley took some half-dozeni horses to the meeting and three of. them secured'doubles before ■ the filial-' cur--taifi'fell. Iri addition to this', •'Fris--co" ran-- second in ' the ' Wangariiii GUirileas and St. Joe secured third place -. m the. Marangai- Handicap, but that ■well -'bred^ colt Martell'6 " wals again unable : to win a race. In the race tor the Guineas 'Frisco had by no 'means a good passage, and it looked, as if, .(With- a little- luck, he would;liave" harcl : pressad the Birkenhead geldirig who led'him ' home. - It is ! iworthy ot* note that ' Poly caste and ; T-he Lark, who contributed- so materially - to Tria-iner -' Tilley 's success, 'are - both- by Nestor from Nightiri-i-gale. - <l ßuckstef ? ' horsemanjship was again m strong evidence, and with ordinary ' luck this capable 'horseman should-' be very near ; the top of - the list this season. Thestable must he regarded as being very ifprturiate m having the services of -a I jockey whose ability, from the barrier and m a finish, is beyond ques> tion. .-""".,'..' A member of the party was so taken with' the chances of Polycaste iand^P-elamere that he took them • m "doubles each day; Needless 'to say he is now shaTcing ■ hands- with himself', .and is m pood temper with everyone •eISiQ. St. ■ Joe- was strongly supportied'ioF "Qic ;Ma,ranigai Handiqap but he • never had '''a look' m with Armistice, who galloped m her best form. With such good' material as the Fordell stable is at present sheltering, m : the hands of such a capable trainer, haviotiH the- salvyioes of such a finished horsemai?',' there should be a" ' good Xtime coming "for Tjlley's payrolls:
