Northern Notes (By "Candid.") A 14-hand pony by Quin Abbey — Doreen recently crossed over to Sydney from Auckland under the care of W. H. Jarvis, of the Waikato. - • v * Passionate did not find anew owner on the Trentham trip and is still being cared for by J. Anderton. After racing at Trentham last winter, Passionate returned home and accounted for the Jellicoe Handicap at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting. That he may do so again is within the bounds of possibility. Piton, which was recently sold to go across to the other island, showed some fair form m hack races at the Ellerslie June meeting of 1925 without actually getting- on' the winning list. He won a race at Dargaville, but did best on soft tracks. * » * • Zircon probably is now on his way to Riccarton, being intended as a competitor at the hunt meeting prior to taking on Grand Nat« ional engagements. , # # * King Emerald is intended as a contestant of the Avondale .Guineas. Queen Emerald is also being worked by the same owner at Ellerslie. * - « ■ . .- * ■ . Gisborne Next Week . H. Dulieu intends to be riding at Gisborne next week, having sufficiently recovered from his iccent operation. ...'«' • * It transpires that when Schorr failed on the middle day- at Trentham some punters found him expensive.. He is again , -working at Ellerslie and may yet make amends at some minor fixture m the spring. * * * • Tall Timber is being kept moving without being got right up to concert pitch. iiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilliiiiliiiiiiiiiiiMiliiiiiiiiiililllll

The Archiestown— Wee Rose chestnut geldin"- m Alf. Kemp's charge is a regular track toiler at Ellerslie. Ho is on the verge of three years and is of 'the right stamp to stand the strain. / » # •.■■•;• With the month of July came a fresh batch of horses for which track fees were paid at Ellerslie. Many of them had been resting since the June fixture up north. . • • • * ' ' • * ' Knighthood went off td Sydney '' by. last week's boat from Auckland. Punters shed no tears at his departure. , * • • Baby Bun, which came back from Sydney .recently,, is indulging 1 m a short spell before being placed m work again by T. George. . ; Trainer Bill Patterson, has hopes of Memoir racing prominently among the hunters' class- at the Pakuranga meeting liexfc month. The half-brother to Orariga is certainly getting; through his share of track work creditably. * "■■■ ."* . ~\'- •■. Quite a number of Elierslie horsemen intend doing the \Gisp'bi'ne meeting next week.' • ■■■• ■ • ' > * ■ •;■': • Arthur Julian : probably will have Wenday racing.' at Gisborne next, week, and the chestnut may show up. , Since returning 1 ., from Trentham, Serang and .Merry. Daman have not been required to go fast, but they are being kept going and will probably show m the spring that their Trentham form was all wrong. R.i- . {After Trentham ; ■ Kencjal was eased a little after the Trentham trip, but should be found m the right order when next stepped out m public. • ' ■ . • * ■ . • . ••' J. Buchanan is not likely to have any representatives at Riccarton next month. He has a big team at Ellerslie engaging his attention for spring events. » * * Banjo is expected m some quarters to make good later on. He is a chestnut son of Royal Soult — Lady Eliza, Avhich .showed some pace at Ellerslie ;as 'a juvenile. Then he- struck trouble iand was put out of work. He is now held on lease by a patron of Bert Jury's stable. . ■ . ■ '■ # * # liack From Sydney Jim Paterson l'eturned to Auckland from Sydney last week, byt may cross the pond again when ..Subdivision's turn to race comes along.

' .' ■ . : # # * Master Mind, which Fred- Gilchrist trained as' a two-year-01d,., is now working again at Ellerslie -.under W. jTaylor. He may take a bit of time ■to work into winning form. . r „ ■■:■■■ *;.•.■•■ : '• ■ .;•* 1 Rustler was 'still m the Wanganui district last week-end. i Fred Stenning 1 . has a healthy-looking five-year-old' gelding .under his" care named Wonder Star, by Day Comet — Similette.
