Trotting

(By "The Toff.") Hawkes Bay to-day. ' IHie condition for the next Trotting Cup is for horses that have done better than 4.30. '' The ancient pacer Cock Robin has joined H. Frost's stable at New Brighton. 'The two-year-old colt Actor has been stopped 'm his work, his owner having decided not to start him m the New Zealand Sapling Stakes. Prince Derby is still on the " easy list. He jivill not be recommissioned till the spring.; Acron is ' •■■-.bowling along like the Acron of /old. 1 ,, Nuff sed. St. Anthony is dodging along at New. Brighton.-... .■•Nothing fussy, but gets there just the same. ...... D. n! Robertson is at present indisposed. He h^is been under an'operation, and is making a good recovery. Prince Pointer has drily to go on the right: way to be a Cup ; horse Cup Day hada falL.on a road which didn't improve him., 'He is to conclude his spell shortly and: start work again at New, Brighton. Brutus has changed trainers. He is back m A. Hendricksen's stable. My Sonny will be stepped along with a view to encouraging him to stay. Jimmy Clarke is. keeping Guy Par-' rish m work. Thanks to the patient care of his trainer, he is losing some of his unsoundness. The spill , he had at Plororata has unhinged Copra. He jigged both times at Dunedih, but since returning home he has been subjected to some lessons of stand and go. The American farrier R. Healey, who for some time has resided at Auckland, has taken up his residence .at' ,Addirtgt6nj Happy Rosa is a peach of a filly. She has' just concluded a good spell, and looks a picture. She is being pottered about prior to being got ready for spring racing. Martin Tims, who owns Te Kara, has. purchased a yearling brother to Don Wild and Stroller. If Tom Fox gets Marvin Drift to trot as fast m a race as he does m his work he will soon win some money. Billy Tomkinson has two new additions to his string. One is a filly by Brent Lpcanda, the other is a three-year-old by Harold Dillon. ■■ . Delavan Quest is applie-pie after his trip to Forbury. He .wilj be* m the money at the Canterbury Park meeting. That swell trotter Young ' Blake has joined Peter Riddle's, , stable. A. Cox is working a two-year-old by Petereta from the same dam as Peter King. ' ■ ■ _ Ted Carlyon is putting all his. time m on Moonlit and Lady Bountiful. They are both, working well. Orion puts on as much side as a billiard 'ball. It is a pity he breaks so badly, Johnny Bells is moving along m attractive style. Goldstream- is also hitting out as if he, means it. But on race days he doesn't always repeat his best. Like a. lot of old horses,- he is getting cunning. G. S. Smith is keeping Pinjevale, Revolia and Dusky Pointer moving along. They are ready for the races. Drum Withers has made a start on two more of Mr. J. It. McKenzie's American importations. They are Frisco Beau and Lady worth. Both are trotters. E. Berry is pegging away with Biddy Logan and The Squatter. Both are m the pink of condition and a credit to their painstaking mentor. Joe Deyell has his two trotters m nice order.' They are Proud Ata apd Nelson Ata, and a good pair they are. Locanda Mac walks "sound but he is lame when asked to go fast. >. It looks as if he is out till the spring. My Sonny should have been home and dried at Rangiora,- but he jigged at the^ start. , Awamoa will win a mile race. Mary Galindo couldn't handle the going at Rangiora. Jim Thomson is handling a halfbrother to Jean Logan. It is by El Carbine, and is a corker. Dome was one of the alleged "certs" for the ifnile saddle at jßangiora that finished well down the course. Lord Bingen caught a real dose of strangles 'at Dunedin, and so is on the sick list. Nellie Bramley can fly. m her work, but she gets the wind up m" a race. Harley Dillon trained off at Forbury. and has been awarded a good spell. The brilliant trotter Herbilwyn has arrived m Christchurch and gone into J. N. Clarke's .stable. Black Admiral ■ met with a mishap last week that didn't improve his Oamaru chanced He^ bolted with the sulky.Lincoln Huon is now attached to Joe Wilson's stable at New Brighton. ' . Peter Swift is commencing to build up nicely, and will soon' be himself again. * Don Wild is beginnings to shape up but it will be August before he .is ready to go a journey. He might pick up a sprint before then. Jack Potts is none. the worse for hip visit to Dunedin. "1 J. Shaw and. W.Ke.lsey intend spending the winter m Christchurch so that they can ■ patronise the • Canterbury Park, Ashburt'oh and August fixtures. ZingiberJ* who * hails from Invercargill, was, 'backed as if he could not get beaten m the Innovation Handicap at Oamaru'. He won easily after putting m a bad „ break two furlongs from home, Zinglber is a plain customer,

and is bred on plain lines. He wears the Rogue's hood, and while he may win another race it will be a surprise if he ever wins m good company. Kerrwood Bell did win at Riverton. She started sixth favorite and paid near a double figure dividend. Her connections got a load of credit. Slip is a nice trotter and one worth bearing m. mind. Princess Reta lost a lot of friends at Oamaru. The two -year- old Nantwich beat the older horses out of the barrier at Oamaru, and for a mile and a quarter she threatened to win, but then she tired. •' . • Kutuka Jack won the Advance Handicap at Oamaru. He is a full brother to Prince ■, Pointer, and seeing that he has only been m work a short time he won as if he will be seen m a favorable light m better company. Native Chief, the half-bfother to Logan Chief, is. a classy-looking colt. He was sent out favorite at Oamaru, but jumped round at the start and settled his chances. Noiseless was sent out a firm favorite at Oamaru, but after being prominent for a mile she commenced to tire and was beaten into third place. Awamoa is a much improved mare, and had the Papakaio Handicap won two furlongs from home. Winnie Dillon is a brilliant mare that is certain to be hard to beat m the spring contests. When Prince Pointer went to the front at the end of three furlongs m the President's Handicap at Oamaru everybody thought it was all over, but when Bessie Logan tackled him two furlongs from home he didn't show much fight. She beat him easily at the finish. - Just how good Bessie Logan is makes one think she was well driven at Oamaru, and when asked a question she cleaned up the field. Black Admiral began fast at Oamaru. He went a goqd race, and will win his share of stake money next season. Wharepiana was on his toes at the start of the big race at Oamaru. When- the starter said go ho jigged and spoilt his chance. He just tailed the field all the. way. • Cromstall went a good race for a mile and three-quarters at Oamaru. Golden Sun is a good sort, and his effort m ; the chief event at Oamaru was encouraging. . L To his owner, Desborough was the big disappointment m the principal event at • Oamaru. He was like the boy that fe.ll out of the balloon — he wasn't m it. • Talent threatened to win another race shortly, after racing like a co v w at Forbury. Nelson McKinnon led all the way at Oamaru and won like a good trotter; ' ' It is alleged that the state of the track suited him. Brentlock won the Enfield Handicap at Oamaru like a tradesman. She is bred, to reach high class company, and she shapes as if she will be more than usef ulv~ . Morning Glow left the mark like a shot out of a gun at Oamaru, but after going a good race for nine furlongs she commenced to stop. Bertha Dillon and Haera Ra were expected to be hard to beat at Oamaru, but both fiddled on the mark. Logan Hanlon. is an every day kind of a three-year-old that will be heard again next season.
