NORTHERN NOTES.

By "Watmangu." The Australian-bred youngsters Persian Prince and Tarcutta being trained by F.. Macmanemln axe getting through useful work m the afternoons. ' The hunter Chris, who was to go to Trentham along with the other Aucklanders, went wrong and did not make the trip. The next stake for. the AvondaleCup is expected to touch £600. The suburban club is going ahead by leaps and bounds and the aim to be the leading suburban club m. the Dominion looks like" finding the target. The sympathy of all sportsmen will be extended to the Ellerslie trainer, R. Hall, : who lost his youngest daughter on Friday last. . •, Indulgence has been placed m work again by D. Moraghan. The little ftjly, who seems to be only a pony, has not raced for over twelve months." P. Conway placed the wh^ole of^ his team m work on Monday. . '..,' Nominations for the Pakuranga Hunt Club's meeting, to be held at EllersHe on August 29, close with Mr. P. D. Tonge, Vulcan-lane, on August 14. E. Pope, who has beeu away w|th Genevieve, Cloudy Dawn and Matawerewere? returned to Ellerslle after the Gisborne meeting, but left again for Trentham with Cloudy Dawn. While away Matawerewere went wrong. It camo as a surprise to read that Captain Jack ran oft when schooling at Trentham. W. Irwln was very confident he would catch a race with Try Fluke before returning to Ellerslie. Irwin thinks he had the black gelding a trifle, overdone at the Northern meet? Ing. • With the few horses who were kept going m splld work now m the South Ellerslie Is very quiet. Matters will continue so till the Avondale meeting draws near. V It is the present intention of \ tho A.R.C. to closo tho Mprrin-street entrance to the course, that is so far as it affects horses, and all horses m future will luCve to enter through tho road off Greenlanc. Trainers do not fancy tho idea at all 'and Intend to have somothing to say to' tho A.R.C. about it. . .'.-..■' Soultanc, a hack m F* Stennlng's team, is* not unlike MulUngar. Ho shows pace, but did hot stay too well when In training previously. " W. Toser is to givo Apellon another chance and the son of Mohoform— Latona is one of the busy bees on the track. The Spalpeen mare Vestal, who Jias been absent from the track since the Northern meeting, resumed work again this week. A mare by Glonullin arrived from Now Plymouth last week and has gone into P. Conway's stable. Haku, who has boon having an easy time of It lately, was put Into work again this week. He struck himself a qouple of weeks ago when out at tho hunt, but Is now all right. The goneral impression is that Jack Delaval will make the trip to Australia. At present his ownor- trainer, F, Stenning, has not arrived at a decision. The sister" to Mom Emma m D. Moraghan's stable shows signs of pace and bo ready to race early. Prior to going to Trentham Admiral Soult received a kick from Ngatlruanul, but no serious injury wns done. The rising two-year-old by.Obllgudo — Crecy is looking forward amongst tho local youngsters. She is not so carty looking as her sister Crescotnlo and has more the appearance of a racer. Mr. R Preston hns n lino looking filly by Soult— Cuiroactto ho intends to

|>ut into w6ii? m a few weeks. 'Holdfast, who has been spelling all Jhe winter will .'be put into work again JBhortly. r .,Qld Dunborve/ who carried Mr. Geo. pannetf s colors with success, is now feeing used- as a hack by F. Stenning. W- Mobberley has taken Phosphorus In hand again. The son of Wairiki looks particularly well and it is possible he will be tried over hurdles later on. ';'■'./ ■ ■';.■•' . . ••■' ■'■'■ v The* Achilla— Pearlie filly at EllersHe will race as Sliprail. ' Betting disputes continue to crop .up. and last week two well-known Auckland sports had a difference. A backer I on the » second day of the Gisborne meeting, invested £3 on Mistie, if funds, £3 Mistie m the last race. The backer also invested £1 Cloudy Dawn and £1 Golborne. Mistie was beaten In' his first start but won the last race, iwhile Golborne and Cloudy Dawn also won. The backer contended that as he was m funds, to more than £3, that 'wnbtint was on Mistie m the second: 6tar£, but the bookmaker contended that everything hinged on the fate of < MlstiVs first start, as the tet made Was £3 Mistie, if funds, £3 Mistie ■ again, and the investments on Cloudy Dawn. - and Golborne were distinct J transactions and had no connection with the Mistie bet. Arbitrators were; "appointed and decided m favor of the i layer, who to show that he did not ; -"' want ' the money at once wrote a cheque for £20 Cthe amount involved, •was £19 10/-) and handed it to Mr. A." Emanuel to give to some, charitable institution. A "fiver" was sent on, to the Blind Institute, Door of Hope, , Salvation . Army Rescue Home, and Auckland Hospital. This is the ac-! ition of men denounced by "wowser- ; dom H as thieves, sharks, vultures, etc. j ■■;;■ : W.Trr. — -—
