Nominations aro duo this evening for the mi kouaiti I{acm S Club's animal meeting. lho German newspapers announce that tho Inspector-general of Cavalry (Lieut.gcncral von der Marwit) hao forbidden, '' en principle," German officers to ride Frenchowned horses m races. This interdiction does not apply to those belonging to ownere of other nationalities, Ono of the most important races decided towards tho back-end of the English racing season is tho Jockey Club Stakes, of 743550v3, ono mile and three-quarters, vv.f.a., with penalties and allowances. The Rock,Sand l horse Tracery, for whom 40,000 guineas were offered prior to flic race, wont out an odds-on fa-rourite in a field of seven. Ho had to run under the steadier of 10.7, and was beaten by the three-year-old colt Cantilever, whom the favourite waa conceding 341b. Cantilever ran the distance m 3min sseo and won nicely at the finish. Ho was got by Bridge of Canny, from a mare by Zealot, tho sire of Castor. Bridge of Canny was got by Love Wisely (son of Wisdom), from tho St. Simon mare Santa Brigida, a daughter of Bridget, who is. a sister to Melton, the sire of Seaton Delava 1, and also Miss Mildred, the dam of Sarto, the sultan of tho Warrington stud. Ihe latest mail to hand brings particulars ■ of the Ccsarewitch Stakes, of 1165sovs, two miles oad a-quarter, tho time-honoured event which forms one of the principal handicaps decided during tho English racing Beason.—As' the cable has previously announced, it was won by the four-year-old gelding Fiz Yama, who started amongst the long shot division in tho market. The St. Legcr winner (Night Hawk) started equal favourite with WagstafF, and -was amongst the unplaced lot. Might Hawk, in fact, was beaten a long way from homo. Tho -winner ran the distance in 3min 51 3-56e0, and made a new English record. Ho just beat Gravo Greek, son of tho Urbino horso Wargrave. The winner was got by.Santoi, a representative of tho Speculum hno of Vedette {grandsi're Of fit Simon), and is out of a mare by Kendal. It will be remembered that aftor Bend Or won the Derby he had to run the gauntlet of an objection lodged against him on the ground that his breeding was erroneously , returned The objection was lodged by tho ' owner of Robert tho Devil, who ran second, and, although thrown out, was then, and since, tho subject of a vast amount of controveisy. Tho matter has again cropped up rn connection with Florist's win in tho Duke of York Stakes, run on October 11, In referring to the matter "Vigilant," of the Sportsman, wrote:-"Florist is one of the last lot of foals sired by Florizel 11, who dropped dead tho summer before Mr Dresden's cohV camo to town, He was cheaply bought as a yearling out of the Sledmere string for 810 guineas, for although he failed to earn brackets in his four juvenile essays, ho-haa already won over 3300sovs in stakes tbia season Ho is an-elder half-brother of Mr Hiilton'a smart two-year-old Longtown. Their dam, Ladytown, is by Gallinuie, out ' of Downey, by Hagioscope, out of Lenity. ' Tho latter was by Bend Or, out of Clemence, who by many people was believed to be Bend Or's own dam, and although the Duke of Westminster showed' by mating them that he was firmlv of opinion that hie ' 1880 Derby winner really was a son of hist accepted dam, Rouge Rose, the fact remains that Lenity was almost an idiot. That might easily arise from her being go '' jnccstuously bred. Again, incestuous breed-. : ing very often results in phenomenal racehorses a couple of generations further away, ' and in tho circumstances the future careers of Florist and Longtown will be watched with much interest." CRICKET. ' Tho following will play for Taieri and Peninsula B against the Grocers to-day:— . Smith, Brown, Chapman, Cameron, John- ' 6tone, Fane, M'Nish; Edwards, Fish, Luke, and Stevens. ' • HOMING PIGEON CLUB. The club flew a race from Rakaia (166 miles) on Saturday. There was a strong : ' wind against the. birds, and they had &■■■"' hard fly.

Esquilant's Sea Prince, shr 4&|min, 5; W. Yates's Shamrock, shrs3min, ■• 4; Lady Maud, 6hr 36min, 5
