Racing at Qlabprne on Thursday and Saturday next. To-night entries close for the Grand Notional SfceepleotoWQ a&d Hurdles, also for-the Winter Gup. At least one unbacKed horse rolled home at Hastings and anotner was very nearly following buU on the second day. Nominations , for the New Zealand Cup close on Friday next at 9 o'clock. .Weights will 'be declared *vt the cpncluhlou of the National meeting. The going at Hastings last week was very fast, and it was hard on the Jumping brigade, many of whom were very sore after the second day's raoiftg. Mutiiwerewore got a very bad run m the first hack hurdles at Hastings and (he second day the fast pace set by Pu.jrewo.mii and Otatara had him tied up tho whole way. • Handicappor H. Coyle thinks very highly of Grey King* and has placed him within l Olb of Matana In the Park Hurdlea at Gleborno. Porhaps the grey will bo started m the hack flat. M^rihiko -mm given a run m tbo Juno Steeples at Hastings, but, after jumping the hencoop, he ran off the course. If ho keeps sound, the old Cutesby gelding should be equal to picking up a stake m a minor steeple* chase. Garanco, tho half-brother io All Red, who, so far, has not won anything but a maiden race, is engaged m the hook events at Trentham, The Vase© colt will bo like tho rest of Madder's progeny, if he docs not improve a lot with age. It was a good performance of Banian, a threa- year-old, to carry lint 91b and win tho necklaco, l% miles at Hustings last week. Certainty there wa» nothing very class behind him but Settler to whom Banian was conceding 2 years and Gibs, is at least useful. Mr. H. S. Truman, which is the aspumed naino of. a Palmerston North sportsman who owns Kxotlo, poems to 1)0 m lucky vein lately. The Erploalon gelding won both gig steeplechases m Impressive style at Hastings, and his jumping was a treat to witness. Ho should pick up another stake ere tho season closes. Tho erooU-iooklnfj Martins, who wna geiuod recently, 1» again In work ut Bleearton, and looks well on iv MarUus is likely to bo a good four-year-old, for it is certain nothing like the best has been scon of him wo far. In his public efforts as a threo-yoar-old. ha generally appeared m the blrd-cago like v Bhow horse, and never looked Imlf ready. News from Sydney states that J. Itimnuh was winning a small fortune over Forest Prince, when that horse foil over St. Merioo at Kandwlck lu»t meeting:., Tho "com." uot on ut ten to j one, und two to ono on was |uJU In i running, but It wiu» too good a thing to come off, and, just ua hln backers w<»r« feeling for Jtict "brlofs" and uortIng out thtt Tommies, down went fc?t.

Backers found picking winners a difficult task at Hastings. A particularly good exhibition ot fencing was given by ExoWe on both days at HaaUngs. A- McFlynn. who is having quito a triumphal march lately, had n very comfortable ride on Aruake m the Hawko's Bay Hurdles. A Newcastle horse has been named Hopalgng-Coesidy. He has our sympathy. Cruelty to a dumb animal. Cussed m christening. Backers never got. within a mile of the winner of the" Turamo'e Hurdles at Hastings. "Woodaey's" Hatana was a Btarter, but no one knew until ho had won, Kimbombl has been giving his trainer a. bit of troublo lately, but tho bother is not considered to bo serious and tho brown gelding is nominated at Trentham next month. Sir IMho run off at the second double m tho Howkc'a Bay Steeplechase, but the next day he ran a good race tvjul was m the flghtin|> lino till the d«uth m tho Juno Steeplechase. P. W. McCnbc had been engaged to ride Jessamine m tho Hunt Cup at the Hastings meeting, but when ho srot knocked out n. Gray was persuaded to take the mount, Tho mare foil early m tho race and Gray got concussion and a broken flngcr. The Australian horse Dividend, by Slmmor— l*ady fronton, dam of tho Melbourne Cup winner, Lord Cardigan, died this month from peritonis. Dividend was a high-class performer In his day, especially over long journeys, and his auccpssofl included tho Champion Bfcikefl (twico). Kssendon Stakes (twice), C,B, Flßher Wate, AJ.C. Plate, Autumn Stakes, and Cumberland Stakes, Among the good horses ho dofeuted at wcight-for-ago wore Posiedpn, Tart«n and JSmW, He ,d|d not shlno In handlcap« s however. . After his success In the Bsscndon Stakca. m the autumn of IPOB, Uo looked a corlalnty for tho Australian Cup, In which ho only had 7.0 to carry, but kord Ullln's Daughter beat him .by two lengths, while he failed again a month later In tho Sydney Cup,

listen was token to the Hastings meeting, but waa not started. TetUcnra's legs filled on tho way to Hastings, and Uo could not bo started at the meeting last week. if ?ver sir Utfe© bad a cnauco to win a race, it will bo In the big steeplechase at Gteborno next month. If the WJR.C. handlcapper succeeds m getting Peary, Hxotio, Jaekmaa, Tho Spaniard. Pariiutu, Ruffy, Captain Jack. Glonmore aud &erco|aj to go to tho post for tho Wellington Steeplechase, the raco should bo the best oti record. ' i;!|; '' i7 Danny Manor, the famous Joekoy, was married recently. I*ord Uoaebery; for whom Mahor has frequently ridden, woa present at the ceremony. Tho bride's maid on name was Miss Dorothy Frasor. Maber is one ot the very few Jockeys who nave ridden tbreo Derby winners — and yet it used to bo sold that ho soldom shono on tho Epsom course. Rocksand, Cicero, and Spearmint gave him his successful mounts. In commenting on some of the lotteries — racing and otherwise—conducted m foreign countries, a contributor to tho London "Sportsman" says:—- "It may be contended that lotteries such its tho Hungarian (authorised by tho State) are drawn under conditions which preclude fraud. But are ttitiy? Hero ore brief particulars of a lottery about to be drawn. There are 110,000 tickets at £7, totalling £770,000. the prizes uggTCgute about £630,000, whlpji — less 16 per cent — brings tho amount to be paid under £450,000. In other words. £320,000 is divided by tho State and the ticket distributors. Then, ngaiiit It is openly stated that the agents, by false Huts, deceive foreign (English) clients as to tho number of the tickets winning largo prixe*. It Is notorious that several ex-gaolblrds are behind some of thefeo 'guaranteed' Continental sweeps, and, it is high time legislation stopped Inrnot abolish wugorlnir. swoops, or bolting for that wohM bo »mpoa{fible-~but to afford protection to tho many who are interested." (Continued on Nest Page.)

■ _ _ . ,: F, Meagher made three winners at the Hastings meeting. . Pelican,, the half-brother to Corazon, fell on both days-at Hastings. Gondolier pulled up, lame after racing m the Hawkes 1 Bay Steeplechase. Tw.ehty-slx timber toppers signed up *or tho Wellington Steeplechase, and thirty for the Winter. Hurdles. It transpires that Bollin put his foot through a fence recently when schooling, and he is at present on the easy list. Braeburn has a very ugly looking knee, but, despite this, he ran a good race m the second hack hurdles at Hastings. Montana changed hands recently and Will In. future figure m the -ownership of Mr. A. McDonald, who used to race Kittle Less. i .A particularly good .exhibition of jumping was given by Sir Lethe, Exotio and Kauroa m j the, June Steeple"chase at Hastings. \ Exotld is 'Improving with tho racing he is getting. jH.e looks likely to 'repeat tho performance .of Captain jjingle and' win all along the" line. '■•' Takert' on the whole the jumping seen at Hastings was very mediocre, imd'thje, class represented did not seem up to /the standard of previous years. Th»e wilf be more runners '-at Gis.'borh'next week than at 'any previous .'flxture f ',and all that Is wanted to make the gathering a' success Is fine weather. Tho, yearling fuil-sister to Expect was on the. course at Hastings .last Shc^aeems very cranky aha no"thing like her relative was at the same J Morecambe was expected to show up "prominently iii the first hack hurdles )U Hastings, but he fell ovef Sir Donald when making th^ railway bend tho jnrst time. ': \ Despite 'thia fact that he was rumored as an unlikely starter, The Spaniard was produced m the Hawke's Bay 1 , and, af!ter a very severe 'race, vraa beaten' by '*a bare head. The old fellow was not ready for such a test, and is probably knocked out by -?lfc. A. Julian, was oh the carpet after ;the race for using KTSpspurs too freely, ;but nothing was .doriipih the matter.' % Peary overjumped himself at the first fence of the .double, at.', the start ' of ihe llawko's Bay Stooptes, and was right , on top of tho ■ next jump before v.ho knew it, He was too late to take off and crashed into the fence, unseating McCabe. The horse afterwards went on and did a little schooling on his own. His fall uro Is not likely to detract from his National prospects, and he continues to be backed m doubles coupled with Chortle and ethers. , Melbourne ''Truth" says: "Fre--quenters Of the Fleriiington tracks 'iwero treated to an' unusual and rather exciting, sight on the morning of •Thursday, June 4. Miss Waugh, who achievOd somo notoriety by ♦ridihg from Melbourne, to Sydney, put m an appearance, and dressed m a .man's costume of pants and boots with a, blouse, and riding straddleways, • she essayed to pilot the old hunter Arch■way m his work on the tan. She was riding very "long,"' and Jt was soon Benn that Archway had taken charge, and ho went along ajt his own sweet vfiM until W. V. Burn on another horse came alongside and catching the bridle pulled him up. Not content with this experience, the girl then rode •' him' 1 to the inside and] jumped the four schooling fences, but then lost control of him. and W tKen galloped m all directions till Burn again came on the sceno and caught him. There might have been a bad accident, and it is hardly likely tlmt Miss Waugh will be allowed to give any more such exhibitions at Flemington."

, Acceptances for Gisborne meeting close to-night. J Stockade is now trained by H. Kingan at Trentham. A. McMullan had his first ride over fences at Hastings .last week. - • ' . ; Sam Pan lost many friends by. his two poor displays at Hastings. It's all the tea m China to a gooseberry that Ghatmos will win a race at Gisborno. • . | Mysteriach was the only horse galioplng at the end of the Heretaunga Handicap at Hastings. . Settler filled minor places m both minor events/at Hastings. The chestnut gelding looks remarkably well now. '■■ " Timothy was' taken to the Hastings fixture, but*, he. absolutely, refused to school there and his owner did not Btart him. Odessa could not act under the big weight m the Bracelet at Hastings,' and at no stage of the race was he near the front, At Hastings, last week, a losing punter picked up a diamond ring valued at £50. This made him square, as they say m go\Ung circles. Old Flingot ; ran two of his worst races a. Hastings. Freak ran across I him at the first fence In the Hawke's Buy Hurdles, and after that he was | soured. . It was . expected that Vi would be •produced m the Hack Hurdles at Hastings, but such was not the case. Tho Merriwee mare m said to be the best jumper that- works at Hastings.. Paramata had backers on both days in' the Hack Steeplechase at Hastings, hue each time he failed to get round. The Porirua gelding does not seem to be big enough to jump country. Otatara and Parewanul set a very solid pace for a mile m the Second Ha.ck Hurdles at Hastings; but then 1 the .former dropped out of It and the latter fell. i The Hague, as usual, flattered her backers to the turn for home In the "Ladies' " races at Hastings, but when/ a bit of pressure was applied, she quickly curled up.* Cloudy Dawn, hunted right out, fill - ed Becond berth m the Hawke's Bay Hurdles. This is the third time m succession that tho Seaton Dolaval gelding has been placed second. \ Stroller threw a seven when there was a bit of. pace on In the First Hack Steeples at Hastings, but, on the second day, when he had masters all his own, he got round safely though several times he dipped badly on landing. Forellght was a big tip for the Bracelet at Hastings, but the fast pace Bet by' Ban lan got to the end jgf him when a mil© had been covered^ Tho race must have knocked him out, as he was unsighted on the second day. It was a great pity that Gondolier went wrong at Hastings, for A. Hall had the bay horse looking: fit to run for a kingdom; and ho would have been sure to win a good steeplechase before returning 1 to* Wanganui. Despite all the criticism that had boon levelled against the hajidicapper by Canterbury sporting scribes, Daylight" Bill duly prevailed at Hastings, while Sunbeam, whoso weight also canio In for condemnation, ran fourth on the first day, and beat all but Grey King on the second day. Supporters of the/ grey had their hearts In their mouths several times when he got up m tho air, but ho completed the course safely. Sunbeam has improved a- lot In his jumping, and should win for Mr. D. Rutherford before h© returns to Rlccarton. The Canterbury sportsman purchased Mescal during the meeting for 200 guineas. At this price tho 'son of Handsome Jack should bo a, rare bargain, and should quickly repay his purchase money.

Black Lupin was the last to leave' the peg m the Heretaunga Handicap, at Hastings, and last to reach the pole. Consistent, though annoying, to his backers. The paragraph stating that Kelp's name was to be changed to Bartholomenas was a mistake. The old fellow was very sore and failed to get round on either day at Hastings. Having lost such a lot of money on Raupani when he was racing at Trentham and Feildingr m the autamn. Gisborne punters will, no doubt, go for evens on the grey next week. Had The Chief been reserved for the Hunt Club Steeplechase at Hastings, he qould hardly have missed, though it must foe said that the Lady Bibbero people would not hear of their mare's defeat. . . That usually safe conveyance, Castle Canter, broke his neck when he foil m the Hawke's. Bay Steeplechase. He gave The Spaniard a good kick on the hind leg 1 ere lie departed for other shores. ' The racehorses belonging to the late Mr. A. F. Douglas, were 'sold by auction at Hastings last week. The | whole of the catalogue was sold, but .the prices m most Instances were poor.. ! Red Book has run his last race for I this season and goes into winter quarters. With his retirement Luke Wilson severs his connection with T. Quinlivan's stables and R. Berry will fill his shoes. ' : . -• When J. McLean "rode Lady Bibbero to victory at Hastings, he was having his first ride over fences m public. As ta G. 7 lad some years ago McLean often I schooled Prospector and Defeat; at Awapuni. i"\ W. • McCqbo had two successive I falls at Hastings, off Peary and iNlorecambe, and the lust ono broke the point of his shoulder. Ho hopes to be | well enough to sail next Friday for Sydney to ride Obi m tho V.R.C. Grand National. • Braeburn and Royal Arms are nominated for tho open hurdle, events only at Trcntham. Aa tho pair are maiden | performers over fences, one would have expected them to be given some eduI cation m the hack class before taking on the top -notch ers. • '■.■'■ Tjie Wanganut trainer, Walter Rayner, was very confident that Aruake .would win tho Hawke's Bay Hurdles, as the chestnut ■gelding was working better' than ever previously. He led the whole way, and won decisively, after stumbling badly at the last fence. The second day he was again fancied, but could only finish fourth. Silver King-, a much-boomed horse In Hastings, was not produced at the meeting last week.' Report says he lias been sold to a well-known Canterbury sportsman, and may bo ahfpped to Sydney to. join ; R. J, Mason's team. There Is probably something m the rumor, as the Rlccarton trainer has been looking for a jumper for some time past. ' • The Hawke's Bay committee should alter the dlstanco of the steeplechaso and make it, say,3 *4; miles. This would do away with the present obsolete fashion of starting the race over a double. Tho Held is not settled down by the time the first fence arrives, and consequently there Is much crowding,' which results m mishaps which might otherwise be avoided. Grey King, who made such an exhibition bf the field In the second, hack hurdles at Hastings, ia by Strowanr tho sire of many jrood jumpers, from Liila, <oho of the Vivandiero family, from which come Tauhei. Canteen and several other good ones. * The present member of the family seems more than useful. . - . There were about forty racing two-year-olds on the course at Hastings laat week and most of them were given a spurt down the straight Amongst those to attract particular attention were the Finland — Asteroid colt, In W." Kirk's stables, the Elysium filly m T. Qulnlivan's stables, and a full-brother to Hymettus, from Karamu. Mystorlach gave further evidence last week that he would have been a cheap horse at the 400gns G. Price could have bought him for last month. He jumped out smartly m the. Here"taunga Handicap and was always on deck. In the straight he came away and, though hard pressed a furlong from home, he ran on well at the finish. Bluo Diamond, who was imported; from Australia some years agro, but ! failed to stand tmlning, was given a bit of work at Napier recently, and I was it runner m the Bracelet at Has- ! tings, but he was tailed off the wholo way. The son of True Blue is now twelvo years of age, so it cannot bo expected that he will strike form aguln. It is really remarkable how little I knowledge, cither practical or tcchni- | cal, fs possessed by somo of tho men j who flit tho positions of sporting: cdl- [ torn on tho dallies. One worthy, r. | tew' weeks ago, distinguished himself by referring to a horse's "back kneo." ■ A.nother lust week Immortalised himself by stating that a horse had broken j his "loft" fore leg. I At Hastings, last wonlc, a petition was taken round for wignuturo asking the Conference to grant Mrs. Mclntosh, j mother of the apprentice who was Rill - | ed at Blenheim last year, «omo relief. Tho petition was signed by all tho leading owners, and, no. doubt tho Con- ! (orenco will do tho proper thing and | t»c« that the unfortunate l>oy'» mother receives a fair solatium". S. Goddanl hundlud Byron very well In tho Bracelet at H.-istlngn, and nuver had him covering: an inch of unnecessary ground, but he was quite unable to concede 211 bto Banian. The hardpulling Karamu gelding has improved conaUtarubly, and. on the second day, j with un additional 13lb on his back, he again won nicoly. Ho was m front the whole .way m each race. The two years' service m tho 'bus has not done, much good for Moilingtqn. The big Hlrkt-nheud ReldlnK was ■very sore ut HuHtinifH and ran off at tho second fence of the double at the back of the course. lift wew ufterwurdß brought buck, and, getting i round wifely, got third money. A rcj rnarkablo eolncldcnoe wa-s that the Karamu representative ran off ut ex. tietly tho same jump two yours ano. when ridden by .». Julian. idealism run In his worst mood on j both dayn at limitlngs, and seems to bo i incorrigible. On the nccond day ho ! hud K. Mf;agh«r In tho saddle, and j many, who liud.Ktood off him on the •■ Una day. supported him In the hope that Mcaghor'H methods might Miiit the «ulky brute, but they wore doomed to i dlHappolnimcnt. Trainer H. Waddell I |« ut a lohw to know what to da with < him and would. doubtless, like to Rlvts I him away. lVrhup.M ho will bo schooli cd over big feneufl.
