Prospects of a successful meeting at Wmgatui this week are now decidedly more promising than they were a few days ago. The weather has cleared, and now seems to be at ‘set fair.” A little ram fell on Friday night, but Saturday morning was clear and fine, and a fairly strong sun was in evidence. A slight breeze carried a wintry sting, but on the whole the weather left little to be desired. One. the sun broke through the clouds the day, from 10 a.m., was quite pleasant- Under favourable conditions the going on the course should be satisfactory. It was again open, with the trestles wide out. The course is at present sticky and holding, but the outside, where the racing will take place, is unbroken, and consequently has a better chance of drying than if broken by training operations. A good deal of interesting galloping and schooling took place. Mystic Boy and Blazing Light were sent over the sod wall on the course proper and then on over the post and rails and small sod rail. They gave a good display of fencing.

Osterman and Isla Bank were sent over the same line of fences, but the latter ran off at the small sod wall.

Eaton Bells and Buoyant galloped five furlongs in Imin 11 2-ssec. Bonena came away from Vogue over the same distance in Imin 16sec. Bonena w-as afterwards trotted and cantered, and is coming on nicely in his work.

Blazing Light and Mystic Boy were biought out again, and worked over a mile in 2min 8 4-ssee

Luthy was lidden out to beat Hard Prince over half a mile, which occupied 59 <-srec.

Pink Note was better than Marmont oyer seven furlongs, which they finished slowing up in Imin 47sec. A Balboa gelding in F. Shaw’s stable led Adjutor and Addon over five furlongs in Imin 16 2-ssec.

Kipling was travelling much freer than Galaxy over a mile in 2min 4see. Kipling will strip a fit horse at the meeting-

Miss Winkie and Fulmar came away from All British when travelling over half a mile in S7?ec. Miss Winkie has quite a lot of friends for her engagements at the meeting

Uncle Bob and Night Raid began at the post and rails near the four-furlong post, and then crossed the water jump and brush fence leading back to the course. They came on and jumped the big sod wall and post and rails on the hill. They gave a pleasing piece of schooling, but Uncle Bob is inclined to run down his jumps and twice crowded into Night Raid, who jumped clean and straight.

Carnot, who seems sound and well, was cantered, and Circulation and Cartoon were also allotted easy tasks.

Honaki and King Sol left five furlongs behind in 'min 13seo.

Ravenna and Roman Archer were put together over seven furlongs, which they cast behind in Imin 42 2-Ssee. Ravenna seemed to be travelling freer than the Bowman gelding. Palencia was treated to a couple of circuits at half pace, Tione drew out from Snatcher when running over six furlongs in Imin 27sec. Apache and Paris were not hunted out when galloping six furlongs in Imin 30 3-ssec.

Coastguard gave a good exhibition witfi Beauty Light in a school over six flights of hurdles.

Captain Sarto and Mandrake jumped two hurdles in fine style, and then in a work-out over 10 furlongs the former was much too good for his stable-mate.

Mazama was schooled over the sod wall and pulled up, then taken over the post and rails and small sod wall, with a brief ran at each jump. Auton and Frenchman began at the post and rails at the half-mile post, and after cicssing the water jump were joined by Mazama- Frenchman and Mazama came on in front of Auton at the sod wall, where the last-named fell. The others went on over the post and rails on the hill. Both Frenchman and Mazama shaped well, but Anton hurdles his fences, and the sod wall was 100 much for him.

Hurdy Gurdy was pulling over Incursio at the end of half a mile in 60 l-ssec.

Clontarf, looting well, did steady pacing. Cash man and lied Knss were schooled over four flights of hurdles, and were also giver, strong work. Spearmaid was going stronger than French 801 l at the end of six furlongs in Imin 29 3-£seo.

De Cruse was schooled over the inside jumps. Francaise and Irish galloped over six furlongs in Imin 23 3-ssec. Pamplona, who has come on well during the past couple of weeks, was worked at good half pace over two circuits. Mantua was given easy work. Chickwheat, Sprinkler, Rapier, Jolly Glad, All Style, Taboo, Divinal, Sightseer, Brightling and others got through unimportant tasks.

Toa Taua, who has been trained in town since his arrival from the north, was out the previous afternoon and galloped over three hurdles, which ho crossed in good style. Overdrawn was on the course, but was not galloped. He will dispute favouritism in the Birthday Handicap with Deucalion. Deucalion Sun Up, Moorland, Tigerland, Whipcord, Sayonara, Bonatic, Bonomel. Gay Queen, Kilris, Goosestep, and Ophir arrived by the night train from Christchurch and reached Dunedin at midday.

Riccarton reports claim that Deucalion was in great shape for his Dunedin engagements- He has shown signs of bleeding, but apparently the trouble is not deepr seated enough to affect seriously his conditiion or racing. Sir Roseberry is a strong fancy for the bier double at Ellerslie.

The Derby will be run on June 5. This is the race which sets world-wide fame on a horse and makes it worth anything from 20,000 guineas to 50,000 guineasChickwheat is reported to have beaten The Harp over five furlongs at Riccarton in a gallop last week. C. Eastwood has been retained to ride Chickwheat in the Tradesmen’s Handicap. It was previously reported that he would bo on Miss Winkie.

F. E. Jones will have the mount on Sun Up in the Tradesmen’s Handicap. First Line is reported to have broken down.

The contract for the cons) ruction of a new grandstand at Eosom (England) was lot last month at £112,0C0, which includes the cost of demolishing an existing structure. As soon as the Derby has been disposed of, the wmrk will be commenced. The new stand will provide seating accommodation, under cover, for 8000. At the conclusion of the Wanganui meeting the Quin Abbey gelding, Eden Hall, '-as sold by R. Brough to a patron of J. T. Jamieson’s stable. The price is stated to he of the high_ order, and probably the next appearance in nublic of Eden I 11 will see him racing in the colours of Mr C. G. MTndoe, owner of Nippy.

J. MTomhe is tnkm~ Forgery over to ra cp at the* Sydnev pony meetings. When Mr C. W. L. 'Murchison ceased to be an A.J.C. stlnondiary steward over two years ago, and liecamo a racehorse owner, he spared no expense to become suecessfid, hut luck declined to come his wav until last week (says a Sydney writer). Fate at last condescended to eense frowninc when Amusement carried Mr Murchison’s colours in the Two-year-old Handicap. The colt, which cost 775 guineas as a vearling. was heavilv hacked, but Roseneath and Myrangle King were preferred in the dosing market. Amusement pnt in a brilliant run in the straight which carried him to assured success at the distance. He was tiring a hit towards the end, but scored hv a fair margin from Quince.

P. Donoghue, a son of the famous Steve, displays such marked ability in the saddle that he has already won a good place among jockeys in the Old Country. Since (he present season opened young Donoghue has steered the respective winners in two important handicaps run in England. It. is interesiing to note (says the Auckland Star) that since 1901 the Century Hurdle rare at Wanganui and the Great, Northern Hurdle race have been won by the same horso in the same year on four occasions. Tu 1908 Waipa won. and two years later Wimmora scored. It was not til! 1920 that the feat was again accomplished when T.ochelln annexed the two races. Poanui repeated the, performance in 19?2. Gaze won the Cenl.urv Hiin l, s race last week, and he is engaged in (he Great Northern Hurdle race roit month. Gaze rnd Gaze will not b« neoleete-:! as a combination for flie Groat Ncndierzi.

Eerie has started in 71 races to date, for 15 wins, live seconds, and seven thirds, with stakes totalling £’3214. Three three yearlings purchased in Australia by Mr W. R. Kemhall, of Masterton, have been handled, and are said to ho a likely-looking trio. Thev h e been named as follows:—Filly by Biplane— Ronces Vales, Air Mail; colt by Sarchedon —Welkin Queen, Sarcbee; filly by (Irby's Pride —Lady Manners, Miss (Irby. None of the imported youngsters will bo raced in the early part of next season. Dubious had n hie hole in the sole of one of his front feet when ho was sent back to Trentham front Wanganui, and ii is suggested that the trouble in this foot affected his running at Hawera. Northern reports state that Birkenolla is coming on well in his schooling at Ellerslte, and he should win some steeplechase races (his season for his Masterton owner, Mr F. Jensen. Having Sir Rosebery for a jumping companion has been of much benefit, to (he Birkenhead—Canella cekhng. and, though ho may not be at his best for the Great Northern meeting, '»• Garrett will have him very forward for Wellington and Christchurch. J. Beale will ride on Deucalion and Balrlowa in the Birthday and Tradesmen’s. OAMARU TROTS. WINTER MEETING. OTAGO AND SOUTHLAND OWNERS SUCCESSFUL. The winter meeting of the Oamaru Trotting Club was held under pleasant weather conditions. The sun shone from a clear sky and there was no wind. The track was in remarkably good order, considering the wet weather which had been experienced, but, naturally enough, it was beginning to get a bit cut up by the time the last race was run. During the day £19,522 was put through the machine, as compared with £19,220 10s for the winter meeting last year, when the club first received its second permit. About 200 people travelled to Oamaru from Dunedin by the special train, and a number also arrived by the special tram from Christchurch. The meeting went off smoothly, and it is now becoming such a popular fixture that the club should force on the arrangements for having a course and appointments in keeping with its popularity and importance. However, this point need not be stressed, as it is recognised that the officials of the club are fully seized with the necessity of improving affairs at the earliest possible date. Otago and Southland owners had a very successful day. six of the eight races being won by local or southern horses. The Middiernarch-owned Master .Peter did ndt appear to have much chance in the Innovation Handicap with half the distance covered, and the Dunedin-owned Ben Logan did not’get down to it in the early stages. Three furlongs from home the pair went out together and in a rattling finish the rank outsider won by a nose. Had Ben Logan not lost ground in the initial part he must have won.

Stockade Junior led from start to finish in the Advance Handicap. He was nicely handled by Hendrickson, whose sulky was nearly broken down by Jimmy Chimes at the entrance to the straight for the last time. The favourite had every chance, but a slipped knee guard may have handicapped him. There were two or three likely looking three-year-olds in this race, particularly O. 12. Hooper’s Panto, by Brent Locanda—Winnie G. Sea Pearl was unlucky in the President’s Handicap. She lost her position at the start, was in the bunch for the most of the way, and then finished third. Withers drove Silk Thread a very confident race He got a position early, and always had a clear run. Peter Bingen had every chance, but could not see out the distance. Downcast paced a good two miles, and was always in the front division. Escapade did not flatter his backers. It was reported on the course that a sum close to £IOOO was offered for the Nelson Bingen-Country Belle mare before the race. If she won her owner to also have the full stake money,

Son-.e Wilkes was not good enough on the day. ,Ivy Audubon could not stay the two miles.

Jazoloek was a good favourite for the Papakaio Handicap, and he won, but he had nothing to spare at the finish. He ■went out after the leader, Pinal M’Kinney, a game three-year-old by Young M’Kinney —Glade, two and a-half miles from home, and his rider (J. Walsh) and M’Lennan had a hard fight over the last 100yds, Jazoiock outstaying the young horse. A well-backed fancy in Omaha lost his chance at the start.

Nelson Atn was quickly in front in the Waikaura Handicap, but Tim Wood cut down his handicap even faster. Lowe, behind Tim Wood, was not in his best form. A horse had trodden on his foot in the saddling paddock, and he was suffering from the pain during the race. Had Tim Wood been driven patiently he must have got second. Whether he could have got third is a matter of conjecture. Nelson Ata trotted throughout without a mistake. '

Maiwhariti never left the issue of the ICnflcld Handicap in doubt. He went out first, and withstood all challenges to win easily at the finish. The disappointing Harold Dillon gelding appeared to relish flie grass track. Brcntloc was a good favourite, but he faded away two furlongs from the finish, when up with Maiwharita, Ratana paced a good race, but Mr J. M. Samson's other horse in the same race. Dixie’s Pride, was never prominent. Some Wilkes again could not sec out the distance.

Moor Chimes put up a very convincing performance in the Stewards’ Handicap, and covered the mile and a-half in Smin 30 3-ssec. She, came with a fine burst three furlongs from home, and was in front before the straight was reached. Nothing else, thereafter, had a chance with the Southland horse. The favourite, La Sonnette, and Linglieid and Tennessee’s Child were the leading trio for about 10 furlongs. They had every chance, but tired in the straight. Coiehiil came on in the last bit for second money.

Glen Fang, the favourite, looked like making a one-horse race of the final saddle mile, but he broke running out of the straight. Carbon stood on the mark and Schoolmate was slow to move. Maiwhariti was penalised 24 yards for Ins previous win, but Jones quickly had him well-placed, and he brought him away a couple of furlongs from home to win easi.y in the good time for the track of 2min 18 3-ssec. Rosie Nut put in a brilliant run in the middle of the race, but could not go on. Four Bells was well backed, but was not prominent. Schoolmate had a chance at the entrance to the straight, but he would not go on with it. Bismurate was very fired, but lasted long enough to get second money. Results :

INNOVATION HANDICAP, of 140sovs, second 25sovs, and third lOsovg. Saddle; unhonpled trotters only One mile and a-half. 11—Mr W. S.

Saka Bona, Kerrnell. and Wee Patch were the first away, and the trio led over the first two furlongs to the stand, the scratch horses well back. The fawourito took charge going out of the straight. Bona Saka and Wee Patch next. Wee Patch broke at the far turn and lost her position, and Kerrnell led Bon Wood, Bonnette. and Woo Patch commencing the last lap. The field closed up a hit in the hack stretch, and Master Peter put in a fine run and was with the leaders at the 'nr „urn. Ben Logan then joined Master Peter, and the pair drew right away. 'ln a .fine finish (he outsider won by a nose, with Woe Patch six lengths awav third and Kerrnell fourth. Times; 3niin -44scc, 3min 49 l-ssoc, Srrtin 52sec.

Daytime. This quartet ran together over the first seven furlongs, and commencing the Inst lap Stockade Junior was still pacing well in front of Daytime, with Pretty Pointer close up. The field could make no impression on the leader, who came on to win nicely by a length from Pretty Pointer, with Daytime half a length further back third. Day Pointer, Imperial Logan, and Jimmy Chimes were the next to finish. Times: 3.42, 3.12 1-S, 3.42 2-5. An inquiry was held into interference by Townley with Stockade Junior at the entrance to the straight for the run home, and it was decided to severely caution Townley for careless driving. Hendrick son's sulky had a wheel bent up against the side stay, and was fortunate the wheel was not jammed altogether. Daytime came back to the paddock with a knee guard hanging round his hoof. This may have made the difference between victory and defeat.

PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP, of SOOsovs; second ROsovs, and third 40sovs. Harness. For horses that can do 4.37 or better. Two miles. s_Mr F. B.

Before reaching the stand again the favourite had rushed Into the lead, and he led Some Wilkes. Silk Thread, Ivy Audubon, and Downcast over the next five furlongs. Commencing the final circuit, Peter Bingen was Just clear of Silk Thread and Downcast, Ivy Audubon heading the others. Beta and Escapade were a long way back last. Peter Bingen was done with two and a-half furlongs from home, and Silk Thread went on from Downcast. The Southland-trained horse could make no impression on Slk Thread, and the free-legged pacer won nicely by a good half-length. Sea Pearl, who had not got a good run, came with a great finish and was right up third. Had she gone off well the result maybe would have been different. Wharepiana and Cardinal Logan headed the next bunch. Times: 4.40 4-5, 4.42 1-5, 4.42 3-5.

Logan Lad failed to strike a gait. Marinca led Logan Hanlon and Final M’Kinney, but Final M Kinney was soon in second place. Marinca and Final M’Kinney were contesting the load over the first five furlongs, and commencing the final five furlongs the pair were just clear of Logan Hanlon.
