Hfe does not appear to be gathering stamina. Miss Marco is freely engaged at the Vincent meeting, and a slight improvement on the form she showed at Waikouaiti will find her among the winners. Dry_ Area, the ex-North Island galx e f& Y- Hogan’s stable, in engaged at the Vincent meeting, and will be heavily supported if saddled up. Green Cloth galloped freely in the e ? r irr ß^, a ® es .°f fke High-weight Handicap a “ but ehe could not go on " Wl *h it. The race should improve her, nd'ffle may run closer to her best form at the Vincent meeting. • adjustments for the Reefton meeting have not pleased some of the trainers (says the Press). The main objection seems to hinge on the lenient treatment accorded Master Clarence in the Reefton Handicap, in which he" is placed on the 7.12 mark, and receives weignt from many others with_ much poorer performances. H m feared that what promised to be a great field for a Reefton meeting will be considerably diminished should the Riccarton geldmg make the trip, which is 'very likely. Pure Blend, who finished second in the Western Australian Derby on Boxing Day, is a half-sister to the well-known jumper, Wharncliff. Her performance was a good' advertisement for Tea Tray * “re of stamina. Takahau. the dam r Blend, is by Finland from Miss Jjochiel, by Lochiel from Miss Ruasley, *>? Grand Flaneur. Last season , Pure Blend won two races and ran third in the Karrakatta Plate, the leading two-year-old, event in the western State Word comes from Australia to ‘the effect that Chide has settled down in his new quarters at Randwick, but so far he has not done any fast work. Carm(hia and Rangitahi, Messrs Orbells_ hurdlers, are both. enjoying a holiday in the paddock (says the Referee). Kangitahi s -future is uncertain, but Carmthia will return #to the Trilford stable before long to be prepared for a -u-?u n winter racing, with a possibility of being given a turn over steeplechase fences later on. The win of Master Clarence at Wai* kouaiti was no surprise to those who had followed his doings this season. Early in his career he showed promise of developing into a good performer' but he went wrong and was spelled. Since he re* Burned racing this season he has shown steady improvement, and though' he has been restricted so_ far to moderate company, he will continue to win races -later on against better opposition. He stays well and he shonldbe equal to something * mil© and a-quarter, at . Mr W, 'F. Dunne did good work in the judges box at the Waikouaiti meeting, but his task would be made much easier if the box was shifted further hack. The Waikouaiti track is a very narrow one, and it is practically impossible to pick up “6 running of the horses until they are within a few lengths of the poet.' TROTTING. FIXTURES.

Young, who has been winning with Mr J, R, McKenzie’s horses on the West Coast, is a young reinsman from Scotland Mac de Oro, a winner at the Ashburton meeting, is spoken of as likely to step his way into the" tighter classes. He is a _ four-year-old, by Rey de Oro from Trixie Mao, D- Bennett, who won the Westport Cup with Royal Comrade, had won the same ev ??t on four previous occasions, . Quality gave a glimpse of her old form in the Canterbury Handicap, add providing she goes on the right way she should one of the big handicaps that will be decided during the balance of the season. The Methven pacer Bay Nut showed a Return to form at tbe Canterbury Park meeting, and as he is a good stayer he should soon get among the winners. Lough Neagh, a winner at Canterbury Park, is trained by B. Grice at Ashburtpn. He is'a powerfully built pacer, by Logan. Pointer from a mare by Prince imperial, and up to the-present he has d °nc his best work in short races. Batin King will improve on. the form he showed on the southern holiday circuit. In the Oreti Handicap at InvercargiU he was finishing particularly well just behind the placed horses. Sunshower is one of the everyday sort and ehe always does her best. The Sun god mare_ looks certain to gather a good stake during the season. Ti 1 . 0 won .the Templeton Hand! “““USton in the exceptional time ot 0.21 1-5, an_ improvement of lOsec on her handicap, i s a good example of the benefits owners derive under the new handicapping system (says the Christchurch Sun). Under the old order of adjusting. Anon would have practically outclassed herself in 12-furlong events, whereas under the present conditions she will be on no worse than a 3.28 mark at her next outing over a mile and a-hal; Anon has given D. Withers some anxious moments to get her thoroughly tuned up, but in her present form the daughter of Author. Dillon and Proceed should soon account for a good two-mile-race. GREYMOUTH TROTTING CLUB.
