/The Karamu team "was taken straight home after racing at Trentham. .•' "With a bit of age on to him, Haskayne will make an ideal hurdle horse.' The Avondala Jockey Club's Autumn meeting will be held on Wednesday and Saturday next. , Ijady Nolan ran badly at Trentham. She has to be caught m the humor before she will do her best. There was a good attendance at Trentham on Saturday -when the going was faster than on the opening day. The Suburban Handicap at Trentham was a phenomenally, good betting event, and over £5000 was invested on the machine. - It is common talk m the city that one of our leading jockeys intends settling m Australia at the conclusion of the present racing season. Culprit has become very sour at the post and kicks at all and sundry. Perhaps the spell that the mare is to get will do her a lot of good. Altcar was present at Trentham along with the remainder of the Karamu team, but was not raced. He will be handy, now that Bootle has been crippled. Royal Scotch has< been thrown out of work and has been sent to his owner's stud. Mr. S. P. McKay, who gave 2000 guineas for the brown horse, did not get a race out of him. Patronale looked well handicapped with 7.3 m the Suburban Handicap on Saturday, and after looking to be snowed m a furlong from home he eventually got clear and won well at the finish. After his ..inglorious display the first day a special kind of truss, similar to the one used on Midnight Sun when he raced In this country, was tried on Brown. Trout, but with no better result There is no doubt this horse races better m the winter, when the atmosphere is colder and the going muddy. J. Cameron is having his share of Juck In Sydney, and has already won a couple of races. One with Sir- Lethe^ and the other with Merrie Lad, who scored on Saturday. The black gelding doubtless saw a good price at one stage of the market, 'for. he started at forlorn odds In his other essay a couple of weeks previous. Overloading jockeys 'with orders does not always pay. On Saturday L. Wilson, on Sir Knox, was instructed not to come up on the inside of a horse on any account. He carried out his orders to the letter, with the result that he ran over a chain more ground than anything else m the race. Even with this handicap he 4 finished within two lengths of the winner. , It was not intended to start Portland Lady m the concluding event at Trentham and her trainer sent her home after her win m the Murital Handicap, but as her owner thought her form was exposed through Tettkura filling second berth, it was advisable to send for the mare and start her. Had 'it not been for a bad passage she would probably have defeated Submersion and Suratura Instead of finishing just behind them. The Mountain King— La Velio colt purchased at Chlsholm's sale by Mr. E. J, Watt will make another addition "to the stock descended from the Lord Cllfden mare, Evening Star, already owned by | that sportsman, the last-named mare be- ' Ing responsible for some of the greatest racehorses the colony has produced. Amongst a few might be mentioned Wakeful (the great), Commotion, Noctuiform, Mentor, La Tosca and the present day Bon Reve, Bon Ton and Midnight Sun. The latest purchaso Is moro closely related to Bon Rove than to Bon Ton, as La Valle Is out of Vigil by Trenton— Nightmare, by Panic— Evening Star, and Bon Reve's dam. Dreamer, is out of Moorooroo, a full-sister to Vigil. Class, the dam of Bon Ton, is a half-sister by Robinson Crusoe to Moorooroo and Vigil. La Notte, the dam of Midnight Sun, is a j halt-sister to Class. i

Up to date, Piastre has won In prize money £12,568. ■•.._ ' ' : . " -\ Mr. E. J. Watt headed the list of winning owners at the' Wellington meeting. ' ' Owing to his delicacy at the manger iPotoa was withdrawn from his engagement on. Saturday. . .... - The shipment of thoroughbred mares sent; to -Sydney from the- Waikanae -stud sold uncommonly welL The substantial sum of £1600 is being given m stakes by the Ashburton Club for its' Autumn meeting.' ; Elwell injured her shoulder when .she fell first day at Trentham, : and she was unable to start on Saturday. The two crack apprentices, . R. Berry and W. Bell, were again on winners at Trentham. Both boys got plenty of riding. ■■'■ • Bronze was solidly supported, only to fail once more, m the Autumn Handicap on Saturday. She ran a really good race, but could only finish m what is now her usual position, viz.. second. , Stepney put up a capital fight m the Hutt' Handicap at Trentham, and just after he had settled his stable companion, Aloha, and looked to be winning, both Negative and Falsetto came along and headed him. < Sunray, who was a hot favorite m the steeplechase at Trentham on Wednesday, compensated his supporters the second day. Although he won he must be considered a trifle lucky as he made a bad jump at the log fence the last time round, and a less skilful horseman than Futcher would probably have been unseated. Then, again, the only two runners that had any chance of beating him w,ere put out of the race through accidents. " These were Fireworks, who came down at the last fence through Sunray running it down, arid Karimol, who broke down six furlongs from home.

Culprit Is now owned by Mr. E. J. Watt, of Hastings. • Bradaraante is now a member of" O* Cox's Hawera team. It was a well -bunched field at the finish of the Hutt Handicap on Saturday. Culprit, who disappointed badly, nt Trentham, is to be treated to a spell. Trainer T. F. Quinlivan priced SirKnox on Saturday, but lOOOgns stopped him. • With a bit of luck Portland Lady wouia have been a double winner last Saturday, Bon Ton was sent home to Yaldhurst at the conclusion of the "Wellington meeting. Lockwood looked very washed out on Saturday, and ran badly m the Hutt Handicap. Fireworks is a perfect jumper, and should be a very suitable horse for Rand- <" wick or Remington. Cheddar was suffering with cracked heels, alter winning the Thompson Handicap, and is to be spelled for a week or tWO. .'V. ' . -, '■:'" -"' ■'•"■■■ The Hawke's Bay Stakes will be decided on Thursday, and', this year the weight-for-age event looks like being an interesting event The new owner, "Mr. Brighton," very nearly succeeded m winning a 'race oi Saturday with x Pavlova, who was only, beaten by a short head by Salzburg."^^^ s It does not say much for the two-ye^F". olds racing at Trentham on SaturdsfCf when Salzburg, who could not win a "classic," could carry 9.1 and beat thfem. Makara got very badly placed m the* first furlong of the Suburban Handicap; and then made up so 'much ground as to suggest that he, ls just now as well as ' ever he was. ' " - • ■■■•-•"-■. The Avondale Club- has been favored i with good nominations for its Autumn " meeting, which takes, place next week. All the principal jumpers are. "m the , steeplechase events. • . Sir Solo has gone right off, and win probably be treated to a spell. He iinlshed tailed off m the Autumn Handicap on Saturday, and Deeley was riding Wni- a long way from home. - The light-weight 'jockey, Roy Berry, ' ~ got a three months* suspension at Trent- : ham .on Saturday. It is bad luck' for Berry, who is a very well-behaved lad *. with a large practice. „ . ' ~ The Bulls owned Makire ran off at the first fence the first day. and f ell. when .. ... holding a winning position the second • day. ' He was the only . competitor who,' had previously won a steeplechase. The success of- Sunray m the" Second Steeples at Trentham was confidently anticipated x by his connections, who argued that ; had he not run off the first day he would have 'won m a .canter.! The Traqnalr— RoscMmmon colt, which fell to the bid of Mr. A. t>. Murphy at . 1025 guineas,' if of the same female Una of blood as Carbine, both being descended from a mare called Eulogy (third dam of Carbine), by Euclid. -Peroneal looked^ fresh and well on ■ Saturday, and a much-improved mare for ; her race on the previous Wednesday.. Her. 7 owner supported her heavily, and she was ••■ just" beaten out of second place m the last stride by Crown Pearl. . ■- ■, , Ladoga started a hot order m the con,cluding event at Trentham on Saturday, but after being well placed throughout the journey and having every chance to win he failed to finish on. Maybe a slight" let up would do the Sir_ iiaddo' gelding .good.; .. " ■:'■■*■ "..■■"■■', *'' '■';■"' ""• '"' r ." z" Briar Patch showed a lot of brilliancy m her only start at Trentham, and la clearly some good. Emerson gave .her a, , rare showing up by shoving her into third place, and his employers Jare hardly likely to be grateful to him for earning that 15 soys. place money. > ,' \ J. Bartholomew, the trainer of King Try, was unable to get a rider for his horse the first day at Trentham. T. ■ Hagerty was engaged to steer him, but', did not come up from Chrtetchurch, and no other rider would accept the mount as he is considered a very wild jumper.- The second day R. Wilson took the seat and earned his four pounds easily as he was. unable to keep the bashful King Try on at the second fence. • : The half-sister to Ventura by Antonio was, by all accounts, a bargain at 530 guineas. > Sonoma, the dam of Ventura. ' • is from Undine from Avellne, dam of Bungebah. Aveline was imported by the late H. C. White, of Havilah, N.S.W., and rwhen. she arrived she was such a dell- ' cate-looklng mare and her stock to a blood horse were so unastisfactbry that (to use Bruce Lowe's words) Mr. White; decided jto breed hackneys from her, and crossed with an English hackney stallion,' Flying Shale. Repenting afterwards, he bred her to Grandmaster (imp.) ' and got a wonderful sprinter under big ■weights from the latter union, the renownecl Bungebah, a- big thick-fleshed chestnut, with straight hind legs, coarsa hair, and tufts at his fetlocks, and altogether showing signs of having hackney blood In his veins. Bruce Lowe's theory •was that Aveline was saturated by Flying Shales, and the taint of the hackney stallion was clearly visible In the subsequent blood cross and proved an lmpor* • tant factor In deciding Bungebah's non* staying powers.
