. Th,e Highden, filly. "Mouette, ricked herself a,t liiccarton and could not start at the meeting. Undecided is now back to, his best form, and should be handy fax the Wg handicap this afternoon. The New Zealand gelding, John, broke down recently m Melbourne, and will have to be spoiled. Joe Sceats has taken up his resi-, dence at Masterton, and, m future, the ex-Auckland horseman will be at the services of owners m the Wairarapa. The "heads" came heavily at a "waiter" m one of the hack races at Trcntham on Wednesday, but, like many another, down it went. Can you pick it? Cherubini, tho two-year-old fullbrother to Soldier's Chorus, has gone into winter quarters. Good judges are picking the bay colt to turn out a Derby winner. Tiwari is now leased by T. Long at Feilding, and has taken the plaoo of Sylvia May. Long's other charge, Bonny, has been bad with strangles lately, but is now recovering. P. Mason has Emperador, Historiette, Canute and Zeus at Trcntham. THe quartette will' not bo taken south until the conclusion of the Hawke's Bay Cup fixture Some little time back Glonfinnan could have been bought for £200, but not now. The animal m question can gallop half a mile on tho tracks as j fast as anything m the Chokobore I stable. j The two -year -old • Bradamanto ! (Charlemagne ll.— Hamattan), a win- j nor at Oamaru m January, has boon j sold to a Now Plymouth sportsman, and 'was taken delivery of at Trentbum during tho weok. Mr. W. E. Bidwill bad the bad luck to havo his mare Stepfeldt miss to Charlemagno 11. this year. This is the first timo that tho dam of Elevation, Provocation, and Co. has missed. since Mr. Bidwill purchased her. Both Tenterhook and Gaby won races at tho Geolong mooting on March 1 9. Tenterhook is now owned by "Mat" Harris, who generally has a Now Zealand-bred animal m his stablo. This was the Clanranald maro's first win m Victoria, As sho is musically inclined sho will probably bo sent to thivstud next season. If tho weather is Hnc to-day thenj should bo another bumper attendance at Trentham. Since tho Cup mooting tho tea kiosk has been enlarged by the addition of a wide verandah round it. Patrons can now toko tholr refreshments In tho open air, while, if it is winay, tho verandah is fitted with blinds, which can bo drawn down to. ket»p out tho weather. At the annual conference of tho Australian Natives' Association last week, a resolution wa« carried advocating the ontiro abolition of tho bookmakers, and tho introduction of a State-owned totalisator. It may, therefore, be reasonably supposed that such a meaKuro will m duo coureo bo introduced into Parliament, tind, if so, it will bo ccrtuin of great support. Captain Jingle, m charge of a stable boy, m being fed and exerclKt«i at Tunululo *In view of winter event*. What a pity, this horw was luitled to the list, as ho cobm» from the H family through Trinket .by Traducer on hi* dam'M »ldo, and t\\* sire. Captain Webb. wb« a grandson of Tnwluoer.

Manakau is a long time cracking i it m Sydney. ' Trentham form should come m very handy at Awapuni next week. Exertion went wrong alter racing at Tauherenikau, and was not brought to Wellington. One notoriously heavy punter is said to hay© laid £4000 to £20,000 on Piastre m the Champion Race at i Flemington. This is punting if you like. . There appears to be every prospect of a highly-successful meeting at Awapuni next week. The fields look | like being larger than usual, and some fair handicap horses aro engaged. C. Emerson, who is now m the boom after his Riccarton campaign, where he rode seven winners, will be assured of much support to-day. In fact, the general tip will bo "Follow Emerson," The Sydney "Referee" had a tilt at New Zealand pedigrees a few weeks ago, but it did- not do much harm to tho Armigera colt by Charleniagne 11., sold by E. 13, D, Clarke last week m Sydney. The full brother to Salzburg brought 7fi© guineas and, it is safe to say a better bred yearling could not be got for good money. In (ho first Place, both Armigera and Charlemagne 11. come from tho "8" family, the best sire lino of the lot, being inbred to such a strong female lino and got by a son of St. Simon from a mare by Hotchkiss, son of Musket, out of a grand-daughter of Musket. A buyer could bo satisfied ho was buying a combination of the best blood with everything m his favor for the future as rcc&rds either a champion ? racehorse or sire.

Masterpiece is to be spelled for tire remainder of the season. Waiputere is again m work at Woodviile, after a lengthy spell. Antumnus eeeros to be furnishing more each week, and he is now a typical racehorse m every way. A special train will leave Tren-\ ; tham to-morrow to convey, the • horses to the Awapuni meeting. '.■,-. An advertisement on this page sets . out the times of departure of the ! "" various trains to Trenthaan to-day. Simple Sam and Clemency, two winners at Opunake, were also successful at the same meeting last year. < Amongst the winners at Tuapeka was Lady Trent (Birkenhead— Tren- - talto), who scored m the Maiden Plate. Advantage has probably Been her best day as a racer, and the old mare is now being 1 sold frequently m Victoria. English horses are doing uncom- ' monly well m Australia just now, and seem to be far superior to the local article. Los Angelos -did not, after all. change stables last week, and he is . still under the care of R. O'Donneli, ■ at Yaldhurst. *^m* The New Zealand-bred Lord cheran was purchased m Melbourne recently for lOOgns. He goes to West Australia. T. Higgins, of Opaki, has purchased Top Note, and the full-sister to Mediterranean will occupy the box vacated by the defunct Ladino. M. Hobbs has his four two-year-olds, Ogier, Rinaldo. Mowbray, * and Salzburg, at Trentham. The quartette is to go on to Awapuni and Hastings. ' H. Cutts did not bring a single two-year-old to Trentham. Neither he nor R. O'Donnell will have a re- ' prese&tative m the Hawko's Bay " Stakes this year. Advices from Melbourne state that Home Rule has broken down. ; This< mishap cancelled his sale to a French « buyer, and E. A. Connolly has now made him a present to P. Guinane. at Caulfield. . . % . . There was some jostling m tho : { DiHman's Handicap at Kumara, and after inquiries by the atewards, x T. Track, rider of Moreykoff. was fined £20, and G. Musaen* rider of Glenfern, was fined £<t. General regret was expressed when" it was found that Nlghtwatch was not t sent to Trentham. Another meeting between he, Autumnus, Mow- ■ bray, and Bon Reve would be one of the star items of the meeting. After li close finish m tho last race at the Tuapeka meeting, J. Me-' Combo, rider of Tuft, entered a protest against Otakeho for interference. ,' The protest was dismissed, but both McCombe and Ellis were fined £3 for misconduct m the race. Sir Lethe scored a bloodless victory m the Second Steeples at Rand- - wick, when his solitary opponent (The Miser) fell. His new owner i 9 now well even over the purchase of the old gelding, who should still have a race or two m him.' . At a sale of thoroughbreds at-. Feilding on Wednesday week, on be- .■ half of Mr. p. Eraser, of Bulls, <th« highest price, lOOgns., was given by Mr. Wire Tokena for a yearling filly by Advance— Ballarat. Mr. McManaway paid 80ghs, for a two-year-old gelding by Mahald. Mr. Bruce disposed of Top Note to Mr. T. HSggins, ol ! Masterton, for 76gns. I Mr. G. Currio, the Wanganui stud* master, could have disposed of the Traquair — Rosconunon colt In New Zealand for a high figure, but refused to entertain any offer. One wellknown owner who tried to secure him pronounced the colt to be the most perfect m conformation he had seen. Ho brought iO2sgns. m the ring, which was 33gns. more than his owner refused for him m his box at Wanganui. Tho Varco — Nerve colt recently purchased by Fred Davis shows promise of turning out. something special ; he will be an interesting study to pedigree fans if he gains any prominency on the track. By Varco, a direct descendant of Matchem through Melbourne, from the Birkeni head mare Nerve, out of Spot, a i daughter of Zelica, whom most readers will remember a few years back us a fair stayer. Zelica descends from Cassia, imported to Australia (of the 34 family). Cassia's descendants ore like the remainder of the family, fast dying out, Nerve being the last-mentioned (and only) m the New Zealand Stud Book. vol. 5. Davis's colt is fall of Irish Birdcatcher blood m his back lines as Varco is inbred to that horse and Nerve brings m a fresh infusion. If ho turns out trumps it will be through his inbreeding to tho three family and Blrdcatcher, eleven.
