Northern Notes

(By "Walmangu.") Auckland Cup meeting December 20, 2S, January 1, 2. Some prominent candidates will bo given a run at To Awamutu to-day. Rapine, King's Trumpeter, Insurrection and- Boomcrday aro engaged. A. B. Williams's mokes should collect enough at Te Awamutu to pay their fare on to Auckland. Golden Bubble Is about right for another sprint race. Tamn-a-roa Is still a bono of contention aa to who owns him. Tho Auckland District Committee decided for Mr. Swcny. The Supreme Court took Penniless from 11. Wynyard. who not only loses the hoss but ulso the first and third stake money he won at Takapuna. There was quite n lot of soiled sheet - Itiir exhibited In the case. Including a double-cross ul Whangarel.

Te Awamutu to-day. Pagoda accepted for three events m one day at Te Awamutu, and the owner must hope to land the treble. There wouldn't be an empty Treasury if Old Bill could tax hope. Roy Reed soon recovered after leaving hospital, and will be m the saddle on Jeff red's horses to-day. Please say which he will ride m the Auckland Cup. Ashley Reed got a slight dislocation of the hip joint at Takapuna m his spill, which may prove troublesome, but Keesing and Wiggins are right again. Bill Casey's horses, Paonui and Bute Sound have gone back to their old trainer, Charlie Coleman. The girls will like Some Fashion today. Blue Socks is a useful hack. Miss Melva is about the best of a lot- of rough hurdlers at tho WaipaRotorua meeting. , Punters are still puzzled about the Cup and Railway. Acceptances list to-day will put some out of their misery. The shearing season is m full swing, i and every other person you meet has ! got a small double going. The quotes on the office boy's map should make some of the wool merchants blush. Old Uncle Ned is freshening up at Avondale, and 7.13 won't stop him if he feels fresh enough In the Cup. Not for mine, though. The Hamilton Club have sold out their interest m Claudelands to the Trotting Club. Punters will persist In preferring Royal Box to Scion. See how much they know. If Glentruin were a sure starter for the Railway the English mare would be a sure favorite here. Callaghan nearly got drowned at swimming exercise after his fall at Takapuna, His unfortunate followers wish he had been on his trip to England. " , ' The first forfeits for the G.N. classics promise more interesting contests than usual for these rich prizes. Favoritism for the Cup lies between Jefferd's three, Insurrection and Foo Chow. Jack Lowe wantedi Wiggins for Insurrection, but the apprentice has to ride the stable horse, Martial Dawn. • The Woodville meeting knocked Royal Box back ln the quotations, and his stable mate, Scion, is coming strong m the market.
