A particularly dense fog enveloped Wmgatui eu Saturday morning, and the range of vision did not extend beyond a couple of hundred yards or so. at any time between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. This rvas a bit annoying when, on returning to town, the Chain Hills was found to . ..P. dividing line between atmospheric invisibility and a glorious sunny morniu Dunedin. Several horses were booked tor important tasks, but, whilst some were worked, others were kept back ‘fr a ipf l ' o favourable opportunity. Those float did work vanished and reappeared, and between times were passing as ghosts in the night. The particularly disappointing- feature of the morning was the tact that several horses were booked for schooling lessons, It would be rather a mistake to work a horse fast in such a heavy atmosphere, as not only would they be ap' to suffer from choked throats, but it might also lay the seeds of deeper trouble in the way of broken wind and bleeding, both of which may be created by _an injudicious gallop, .. Karitaue, 7.2 was omitted from the . ac? ccptances forthe Hack Handicap at the Oamaru meeting on Saturday. The. three-year-old Red Lion, by Sollenno —Rose Red, who cost IDOOgus as a yearling, has been shipped from Auckland Sydney to join F. M'Grntli’s stable. Red Lion is reported.to be a failure up to date, and perhaps a change of climate may-galvanise him into a real racehorse. A particularly stylish and racy-looking . is the one by Paper Money—Paphia that has joined J, Feilder s stable. She is well grown, and built on speedy lines, and her dam has produced Paphian, a veritable “ whip the wind. but unfortunately he became troubled in the respiratory organs. ■ Still, despite the infirmity, he could win -races by hia superior speed. Paphia also threw Arcs, who won the Dunedin Champagne' Stakes of 1922. She was got by Birkeu- , “9 m Aphrodite, by Apremont—u atevspitc, by Traducer—Waterwitch. by JCamden —Mermaid. .the Rossendale gelding which recently Joined J. r eilder’s stable was on the course at \\ingatui _on' Saturday moruibg.

M. Groenslade at the Sydney' sales has been much admired since big arrival at -Aingatni. Great Charter . was an unlucky , horse at -Hastings.- having to run outside two horses all the way. On the first day (says an exchange) he was weakening at the finish, and on the next h' missed the opening that Royal Duke got. But lor this the chances are that He would have won, though Royal Duke’s form makes it .. bit. doubtful. Wiggins, the Oder pf Royal Duke, says that if Great Charter had been able to come.through with him, Royal Duke would not have won.- , Mr R, J. Murphys luck this season has been remarkable. Cashier- is a solid little three-year-old, and on iis season’s record is entitled to rank' as one of the best Paper Moneys seen over middle distances. The arrangements made by many racing clubs, for the closing of acceptances are (says the Press) sometimes hard to understand. The Amberley Racing Club’s acceptances closed wifih only two clear days bet-ore the meeting, with a public holiday intervening, while the Oamaru acceptances fell due over a week before'their meeting, and on the eve of the Amberley fixture.. Both clubs may have benefited by more consideration being given to the matter.: :.. . Evening was .sold to Mis s Thomson Pfi the eve. of the Amberley meeting. , bpode is back again-in work at Riccarton. Trainer Dick O’Donnell has stolen a march on a lot of his rivals by getting to work early with his yearlings (says a.,Sydney exchange).. He has half a dozen in hand for Mr John Baron, three by March Along and three by Air Balloon. These were broken in at Mr Baron’s stud and were sent down and put into work while the other yearlings were l stuffing themselves in the sale yards. .Honour arrived back at Riccarton last Week. He has raced with both honour and credit. Owing to transport difficulties from Gisborne, Air Gaine Carrington, the stock . whose sire. Hunting Song, have done so well in their first season, is reported to be considering a change of location. Palmerston North is likely to see the Hurry On horse stationed there before long. . A fine black six-year-old mare, a halfsister to that good ’chaser Passin’ 1 hrough, recently followed the hounds at New Plymouth, and jumped well for a time, but fell later in the day at the wire, fence. With a bit more experience this new chum (says an exchange) who hails from Waitara, .and for whom the name of Isolate is being claimed, should uo better and may become a useful addition to the few ’chasers in Taranaki. An exchange reports that after a lengthy absence from the race track l aJeta may again race at, the Marton doclcey Clubs winter meeting, where he has been , accorded a nomination in the lying Handicap. In the Avon Handicap at the C.J.C. meeting at Riccarton in November, 1927, Paleta started favourite, but was unplaced. That was the last time that_ the Leightou-Cathlini gelding Was seen in public. A few weeks prior to that he had scored a surprise victory V 1 . ■ i? roat Northern Guineas, beating In the Shade and Thaw. As the frost-bound ground at Epsom in February was an obstacle to training onerations, 8. Wobtton, at his own expense, laid down a five furlongs tan track. He threw it open for the use of other Epsom trainers, a concession that was thoroughly appreciated. ■. • Automatic Totatisators recently showed m . Sydney , a working model of an addition to their familiar machines, which should be appreciated to the. full by all race course frequenters. The new device consists of a disc carrying numbers placed over the name.of every horse on the tote. As each bet goes on; a revolving pointer shows the amount payable on any horse at any time during the'betting. When operations cease, the dividends are instanteously recorded, the device automatically deducting the Government tax and club percentage, and allotting the balance in the proper proportions to first, second and third horses. Zircon has returned to Auckland after a limitless trip to Australia, but may go hack for the Victoria Grand National meeting. It is probable that marked changes \yi!l take place in the allotment of prizes in this year.s Calcutta sweep on the Derby. One change forecasted is the cutting up of tlip huge poo) into three separate lots, with smaller prizes, but many more of them than heretofore. For some years past the system of- issuing tickets direct to outside subscribers has been discontinued, owing to the trouble experienced by the Calcutta Turf Club in settling claims where tickets had been subdivided among numbers of shareholders. The reversion to the old system of paying out on!y to members, the original purchasers of all tickets, has not been satisfactory There has been at least one instance where a member claimed the winning ticket as his own and pocketed the huge prize, leaving the real subscriber lament--I?*’ , , Hg , waR -, of course, expelled from the club, but there was no possibility of making -hint disgorge.

By Sentinel. ■A recent winner at the Hobart Trotting Club s meeting went out unbacked on the totalisator except for a place. Machine Gun has drifted back -from a 4.28 mark to 4.30. Although there are only eight horses left in the New Zealand Sires’ Produce Trotting Stakes, to be decided at the horhury.. Park Trotting Club’s meeting next month (says “Orion” in the Auckland Star), tlie race looks like being contested by the strongest field yet seen out in tins race. Fit and well on the day, Koro Peter, Nelson Parrish, Great Nelspn > end Great Way, should provide a thrilling race. In fining three drivers at Te Aroha £1 a piece, Mr F. Shaw, who has only recently joined the ranks of starters, madt it'very clear (says “ Orion”) that he is not going to_ stand any nonsense. Mr, Shaw first officiated at the Thames. Trotting Club’s, meeting, where he was warmly congratulated upon his work, and again at i’e Aroha he left no room for complaint. R. M’Donald and R. Town ley, who were rather severely injured in accidents at the last Timaru meeting, were, present at the Ashburton meeting, although neither was tit to drive. For some tune in Tasmania a rather absurd concession has been granted visiting horses in that .those With records of 2.20 or better have been allowed a concession of seven seconds to the mile. A horse with a record of 2.19 is placed on a 2.26 mark, and a 4.39 horse over two miles would be on the liberal mark of 4.53. There is a decided inclination now to curtail the concession owing to the great success of visiting horses. “ One must-surely see the absurdity of the liberal concessions (says a Hobart papm when birds of passage come across, take the rich prizes, and clear off again.” The pacers Steel All and Stoney are in future to race in New Zealand, and they have arrived in Auckland. Steel All will go into H. S.- Bush’s stable, and Stoney will race in the interests of Mrs I. Sweetapple. Stoney will be a stable mate of- a recent winner in Torpedo Hubn, who was also purchased in' Sydney. Although it is conceded that in New Zealand trotting is on a higher plane than in Australia, many good performers have been secured locally by Dominion owners (says the Sydney Morning Herald). Coiicliffe, Realm, Sheik, Minton Derby, Denver Huon, and the trotter Grand Voyage are a- few of the list of winners bred in Australia. Realm did exceptionally well in the new surroundings. He was a first-class performer here, but seemed to strike better form after the change of location, and in winning about £4500 in stake money he put up some fine performances, his best being to record 2min 3 4-asec to the mile. Steel AH should win in New Zealand, for he is a young horse, improving . each year: Stoney is aged, but is still to be considered in races over a little distance. In Great Parrish, the half-brother to Great Bingen, J. T. Paul has the most promising colt seen in Auckland for many a day. Only a two-year-old and mal: his first public appearance on a, race track. Great Parrish counted sufficient support to send him out favourite for the Ruakaka Handicap. The field was certainly very weak, but even so (says “Orion”) ‘it was a test for a two-ycar-old. At the start the colt tangled badly, and by the time lie hit his straps he had lost so much ground that his prospects looked hopeless. Three furlongs from home he was asked a question, and he then travelled in great style and at the home turn had joined the leaders. Halfway up the running he looked a likely winner, but the effort to make up’the lost leeway proved his undoing, and he finished fourth. All going well with the preparation of Groat Parrish. Auckland will have a fine representative in the next Great Northern Derby, a race J. T. Julian won with Great Peter, an older half-brother to Great Parrish. Officially no intimation was given the press of any thriving being challenged, and we niay take it (says the Auckland Star, in commenting on the Te Aroha meeting) that all was censidered quite in order. But was it? It is safe to say that if the stipendiary stewards, Messrs Reid, and Commons, were satisfied there were plenty of others who would have challenged the driving in at least a couple of instances. When it seems.-to be common property before races that so-and-so. is npt a trier, and the horse finishes down the course and the driver unconcernedly drives into the bird cage without a question being asked, there is not much encouragement to the public to bet. Trotting is coming into its own in Tasmania, and at the' Northern Tasmanian meeting, held at Easter time, the totalisator investments amounted to £23,024 10s, and the meeting resulted in a profit of £1047. , . AMBERLEY RACES. BUOYANT WINS CHIEF EVENT. (Special to Dailt Times.) CHRISTCHURCH, April ->7. There was a large attendance at the Amberley races,' and the racing was full of interest. The chief event, the G. B Starkey Memorial Handicap, provided an exicting finish, in which Prickles just failed by a narrow margin to head off Buoyant, though she was in front in the next stride. Malmsey lost her rider, W .Pascoe, in the Amberley Handicap, and he suffered a slight.concussion. There was a mix-up in the Teviotdale Trot, Enrolment and Jacky Logan capsizing their drivers as a result of a horse breaking in front of them. F.. Douglas, the driver of Enrolment, was severely shaken, and broke a small bone in his left hand. The totalisator investments were -£11,621, as compared with £10,450 last year. The following are the results;— BRACKENFIELD HURDLE RACE. Of 120sovs, One mile and five.furlongs. I—Oriflanib, 10.13 (A. J. Peart) .. 1 3 Amorist, 9.0 (W.

Although the day was dull and sky overcast, the Otago Hunt Club held a r 1 ccessful meet over the property of Mr W. Renwick at Wingatui on Saturday afternoon. I he increasing popularity of hunting was again in evidence, as shown by the unusually large number of followers taking part, the majority of whom had ridden out from the city for the meet. A large number of spectators was present to witness the run from Gladstone road, from which an excellent view of the whole run was obtained. The run extended over about two miles and a-half of excellenthunting country, with 12 real good jumps to be negotiated, consisting of gorse hedges, road doubles, post and rails, and a hawthorn hedge. The last-named jump proved a stumbling block to many of the followers. The exhibition of jumping was very good for so early in the season, the majority of the followers completing the run without mishap. There were a few falls, however, during the run, but fortunately neither riders nor horses were injured. One horse in jumping a ditch

landed in the middle of it, his youthful rider coming off and getting more than his share of mud and water. Humbolt (ridden by Mr F, Farra) met with an unfortunate accident, in attempting to take one of the jumps. The horse attempted to run off, and in trying to pull him on to the jump he got rather badly cut on the chest through coming in contact with a stake, and will be out of action for some little time in consequence. Among the. lady riders following were two visitors to the hunt —Miss J. Orbell, of Timaru, and Miss Dorothy ActonAdams, of ■ North Canterbury, both of whom rode very well. -A fair nhmber of racehorses put in a qualification run. Among those following were:—The master (Mr J, N. Murdoch) on -Kismet, deputy master (Mr H. S. Jones) on Tornado, huntsman (F. Kydd) on John Peel, whip (D. O’Connell) on Diana, Mrs T.
