NOTES BY SENTINEL. He death is reported of the weH-Lutmn Australian trainer, W. Duggan, who in hrgone years rode for fiur Hercules Robinson. Two shipments of 500 each which are to ba shortly sent from the dominion will make up a total of about 20,000 horses sent from tJim country by the military authorities since the outbreak of war. The well-known 'chaser Bribery, one of the beet horses of his day in Australia, wu recently destroyed. The hurdler Kilmeny is again in work at Riccarton. There is a possibility of Our Thorpe and Country Belle being matched over two miles. The owner of the former is propared to back his horse for a stake of £1000. Should the match come off, the gate money will probably go towards the patriotic funds. Mr W. G. Stead, whose colours were successful at the Auckland Cud meeting, has made a donation of £1000 to the patriotio funds. The Waimate Racing: Clnb decided at a special meeting of the members that the annual race meeting will be held as nsoal, and the profits donated to the Bed Cross Fund. The war tax collected on dividends paid out at the Auckland Cup meeting amounted to £5314 8s 6cL It is stated that G. Murray-Aymdey is retiring from his position as tramer foe Mr Dalgety's team, and that H, Davis, who has been associated with the stable for same considerable time, will have charge, whilst Murray-Aynsley will a<jt as supervisor. The New Zealandera Eligible, Wishful, , Blackall, Reputation, and Sea Pink are amongst those engaged in the Sydney Oup. Reputation is again in commission at Ranawick. Imported horses won five oat of the six flat races decided on the final day of £he Perth Cup meeting. The Sydney light harness horses, Us Alaid, Rewa Pointer, and Colmina, are not to be sent home at present, but will be trained by J. Bryce for future engagements in the dominion. There was a stir in racing circles in Melbourne early this month when the federated bookmakers sent an ultimatum to the Mentone Club that unless Mr R. Kelly M ait land was retired from the position of handicapper they would not operate at the meeting. The veteran handicapper, after a lot of argument, eventually resigned, bo the. threatened strike was averted. <Mr Maitland subsequently resigned his position > as handicapper to several other clubs. When Country Belle paced two miles in 4min 22 4-sseo at Auckland, she -vent her first half-mile in Imin 6sec, a mile in 2m rn 10 2-sseo, and a mile and a-half in 3mm 15 2-ssec.
