dominations for the Dunedin summer meeting are due to-morrow. Satisfactory acceptances have been received for the Ashburton meeting. Acceptances for the Auckland Cup are due’ on December 20. General entries for the Auckland Cup meeting are due to-morrow. It has been decided to give Liemrick a 12 months’ spell. The _ M'Lean Stakes winner Satisfy is again in work, and may be seen out at tbe Dunedin summer meeting. , ■ln addition to the owner, Mr J. J. Corry received a cup {or winning the Feilding Jubilee Cup. R. Alexander, the trainer of Rabbi, and L. J. Ellis, the rider, also received a replica of the trophy. In a reference to H. Gray’s career, a northern writer erroneously credits him with winning the', Melbourne Cup on Sasanof. Mr J. Carter has placed his' Night Raid gelding under offer at 1000 guineas. An electric tgain service was run in connection with a meeting held last month at Warwick Farm; It attracted very favourable comment. The price for Chide is a record for a New Zealand bred horse. It is reported as being 6000 guineas and contingencies. Noctuiform was sold as a three-year-old in 1905 for 5000 guineas, Mr 'J. B. Haggin paid 2000 guineas for Sir Modred in the late ’eighties, and also gave good figures for Idalium and Cheviot, two brothers .to Sir Modred. Artillery, who also went to the tlnited States, Seahorse, Screjv Gun. Chain Shot, and Multiform also made good prices when sold. The purchaser of'Chide is credited with paying 5000 guineas for Runnymede, who proved a failure in Australia. After winning the Liverpool Grand National steeplechase, the New Zealand bred Moifaa was sold to the lateJCing Edward for 2000 guineas, but he became a roarer and thus useless for racing purposes. The highest price paid at auction for a New Zealand bred horse was the 4500 guineas paid for Golden Slipper. Carbine cost the Duke of Portland 14,000 guineas, and another New Zealander in Carnage went at 10,000 guineas. The .well-known artist, Mr Martin Stainforth. has been doing remarkably well since his return to England. On the Continent he received some important commissions and has also been invited to visit the United States to undertake a commission there. Tbe New Zealand-bred Dalston, by Chief Ruler (imp.)—Gipsy Martian, started favourite for the Three-Year-Old Handicap at Randwick on November 16, but’was beaten into second place by Eton Blue, by Sarchedon from the New ZeaTorquay. Pasticcio, who ran seobnd in the second division of the Woollahra Stakes for two-year-olds at tbe A.J.C. meeting on November 16, is by Magpie (imp.), from the New Zealand mare Mockery, by Absurd—Mimjque, and is trained by the exCanterbury trainer P. Riddle. In referring to the Feilding Stakes Vedette ”;saijd that the defeat of Pagan.ellL was -not-- only totally unexpected/ but he could -not even run second. Racing, especially at weight for age, is full of surprises, but nobody can seriously suggest that this was correct form. The only excuse that could be offered for him was that he missed the jump out, and not getting too good a passage afterwards was unable to use his speed to break up his rivals, \Vhen Cimabue made bis run in the straight he crossed over rather sharply, and an inquiry was held. L. G. Morris, rider of Cimabue, was cautioned, while R. S. Bagby, the rider of Paganelli, was censured for giving unsatisfactory evidence. i producing Chide Disdainful had three foals. She threw Scorn to Clarenoeux, and to Paladin bred Scoff and Quaecee. The theorists who claim that a mare shquld be rested in alternate years receive a bit of a set back as Scoff Quaecee, and Chide came along in three consecutive years. , J?- apine ’ 9 ho won Auckland Cup in 1925 as a six-year-old with 9.8, is the only winner 1 ' of the race carfying 9.0 or over iirnt? -1 *59 - a ?, a five-year-old'in 1909 with 9.1, Wninki won as a four-year-old with 9.8 in 1903, but there are no m lnaTlsr °* sort seem out. The Auckland breeder, Mr J. C. Gleeson, has a notable entry for the National Yearling Sales this season. He is a we -grown brown .colt from Marriage Bell, by Tea Tray from Gold Treasure, •the dam of Amythas. a great performer over all distances. Mr Gleeson sent this well-bred young mare to Australia, where she was mated with Moabite, a handsome J. hiyans horse, whose stock are showing great promise in their first season. . During the Feilding Jubilee Cup meeting the members of the 7>ress gallery received as souvenirs of the meeting racebook covers neatly inscribed with their names and the monogram of the Feilding in^pSate^ 18 tion 5 FeUding “thaV The D Sifve^ptperacket. and * The Raider carried the bulk of the investments. The Raider Ban , ket ’ Dlanore, First Money, Gold Cure, Aspiring, and Gold + Sll r Ver l Paper last ’ Bankfi t Tho p h Jij ge t 9,- lead acr °S3 the top from with Cnld e p, Fll A fc — oriey ’ and Llanore, d C i ire * Aspiring, and Gold Dawn in line next Banket turned for home first from Tbe Raider, Llanore, First Money Gold Dawn, Gold Cure.'Arrow Lad (wide out), and Aspiring. The Baider ran to the front with about 200 jards to go with Gold Cure. Llanore, and Arrow Lad (wide out) all going well. The 'Raider won by a length from Gold Cure, who got up to beat Llanore by half a length Arrow Lad was right up fourth, and then came Gold Dawn, Goshawk. Aspiring, and Silver Paper. The race for the Feilding Stakes was quite a disappointment (says a Wellington paper) apart from the fact that it saw the failure of the odds-on favourite -HI I6 result was a typical example of the luck of racing. When the rain came earlier in the week the connections _of Cimabue were very doubtful aoout sending him, for hitherto he has been useless, on a soft track. His owner did not go to see him run, and so far as those most concerned went, he was unbacked. He was always going well, and finished brilliantly. Paganelli did not snow his usual dash, and when R. S. Bagby commenced to ride him about a furlong from home he made a poor reP° ns \, It was then that L. G. Morris brought Cimabue up on the outside and cut right across Paganelli. There was an inquiry into the interference, and it was decided to censure_ Morris for crossing, and R. S. Bagby, rider of Paganelli, was warned for giving unsatisfactory evidence. Looking at the incident from the stands, while the result quite possibly was unaffected, it appeared a very decided breach.

r ,.-^s’, m,na t l ons for the Winton Trotting Ulub s .meeting are due to-morrow. Nominations for the Ashburton Trotting Gqib s meeting are due to-day. Uwnersmade a very liberal response to the (jore Trotting Club’s programme, and large fields figure in each race on the card.

, T ' le three-year-old filly Lydia, who' ran at fiorbury Park, figures amongst the acceptances for the Ashburton meeting, liydm is amongst those engaged in the Great Northern Derby. , An Auckalnd writer states that the imported mare Linnett the Great, who won impressively on the second day of the Auckland meeting in October, will disappoint many if she does not reach the best company/ After her win in October she was treated to a short spell bjr f * ?• but she will now be got ready for Christmas racing. R. B. Berry, who underwent an operation at Lewisham Hospital last week, is making a quick recovery, and he will probably again take his place in the - e Brighton meeting. Jean Al itlwyn is one of the most consistent mares racing in New Zealand, for though u l aa to win a face this season, she has been in the money nine times, an “ has won £7lO in stake money. Motor transport is entering into competition with the railways, in the carriage of racehorses, and no fewer than 18 horses were taken by motor lorry from different parts of Canterbury to the Forbury Park meeting. ■ xi * s , r , e P°rted that Jewel Pointer, who is the idol of the Auckland public, has been taken in hand again by A. Julian, and the son of Logan Pointer will be a regular attendant at the Epsom track from now on._ Jewel Pointer was thrown out of commission owing to developing leg trouble, but he appears to be quite sound again. It would take some time 1 ’ to get him ready for a two-mile race, and it he stands a preparation he will be prepared for sprint events to be decided the Auckland Cup meeting. :r ? c^! e . r Y on both big handicaps at the Auckland meeting, the second day from a 4.29 mark, he looked a great proposition for the Auckland Cup, which « a hmit. It is a surprise (says Orion ) to note that, the brilliant tour-year-old is not among those entered, but tie is well nominated for other events at the meeting. Wrackler has been a well-handicapped pacer, and as he is quite at home over short or long journevs, him" 6 1S p entir money in sight for

system of handicapping is a great thing for the owner of an improving horse. _ Thera have only been three meetings in Auckland this season (says °non ), and the following have won more than one race here:—Paradigm (2), hirst Flight (2), faster Huia (2).Great P i ar - ,sh <?). Pet* M’Kinney (2s. Explosion (2), Belle Axworthy (2). Nelson lasker (2), Te Wahia (2), Wrackler (2), \endome (2), and Rockburn (3), inisatcfluiits for 25 races out of 48. In addition to the above, Lindbergh and Rearl Logan, who won at the Waikato meeting, nave since scored again in the south.

The Forbury Park✓ Trotting 'Club’s meeting was notable for the appearance . several very promising young pacers, T n ;nt* dln ™ 3r ? nd Canyon, Lydia, and John .Jau j t f °™er pair, both by Wrack, and bred by Mr H. F. Isicoll, .are en- ! h , e Great Northern Derby, but unfortunately for his connections, John Jinks-was not, accorded a nomination in this classic (says the Press). After her at Forbury Park Lydia will be oue of the fancmd candidates in Auckdlf S:n lst lV as til P’ and is a fine 9? ®Hy. that should hold her hwn with the other crack youngsters. The three-year-olds of ..the present’ season- are particularly good, and Grand Canyon, Gydia John Jinks. Royal Silk, Great Parrish, Purser, and Ngingongingo can i? e classed with the best of their age ever raced m Zealand,
