' NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENT. ~ Anxious.—(l) £1 12a 6d; (2) £2 12s 6d. -There -was not a great deal of fast work at Wingatui yesterday morning, although a large number of horses were allotted useful tasks. Tardy and the Ada ■ Merling filly ran over half a mile in 52 ;2-ssec, with the latter showing improvement. Sailing Home and High, Speed galloped seven furlongs in lmin 35sec, with . the last six taking lmin 21 4-ssec. Both horsesi went well. Camisader seemed to be a bit better than Stealth when concluding seven furlongs in lmin 32 3-ssec, but neither was under pressure at the finish. ' The Cup candidate, on the outside, ap- . peared to have most in reserve. Waving Corn and Royal Saxon recorded a good sprint by covering six furlongs in lmin 18sec, the last half in 53eec. Both travelled freely in their task. Caterpillar . began more smartly than Money Mine 'at the five-furlong post, and beat him a . couple or lengths in the first .few strides. •They; were, on,-terms in the straight, and finished together in lmin 4 4-ssec.-Money Mine appeared to finish stronger than the filly, but neither of-them was stirred lip in the run home. Barney Google was ..; leading Royal Flower over seven furlongs in lmin 35 3-ssec in a good working gallop, but the latter seemed to be going best at the finish. Meitui was beating Wig . Wag over seven furlongs in Imm 32 3-ssec, the last six taking lmin 19 2-seec, % and the final five lmin 4 2-ssec, in a good gallop. Oriflamb covered half a mile an 54 2-ssec, and Mount Boa was showing jnore dash than El Boa when reeling off j half a mile in 51 3-ssec. All the fast work I .;. took place on the course out doing work included) Craigmore, Circulation, Traho, Kapuna, Pink Note, Pink ;; Sunrise, Sahno Salar, Blue Metal, Heather Lad, John Bradbury, Town Major, Dum- , blane, Assemble, Crossbow, Court Jegter, ;.. and a few that got through steady pacing : on the plough track. ;;• Glenrowan was on the course yesterday, and walked apparently sound. He will not, according to present intentions, be a starter at the meeting. Several of the Riccarton trainers ar-rived-at Wingatui yesterday morning with . iorses engaged at the Dunedin Cup meet± , ing; Thebalance of .the northerners will -leave to-day for "Wingatui - Wingatui and the rest of R.

' According to talk about town there is a ■widespread interest in the Dunedin Cup .and Publicans' Handicap. Several horses , : are mentioned in connection ' with both' races, which are apparently regarded as "fairly open. _ The Hawk ,has won 25,87650 vs in stakes He has won over 19,000sovs since J.

Morris, the well-known :: gentleman rider, arrived home at Marton l-irom Sydney last week after a hurried /visit for a fortnight. He went over under engagement to Mr Carroll to ride The Demon (12,10) in a five-furlong race for gentleman riders. The Demon duly won it Wagga Wagga on Monday, January 27. .«'»ff>W? (says "The Watcher") that Mr Morris will shortly pay another visit to. Australia in the near future for further ridmg engagements. .Paquito who is top weight in the Dunedin Cup, had not won a-race a year ago —it is less thari 13 months, in fact, since T^fi rS P^?i' ea f q A m J? übl i°- He won Anal Plate at Dunedin, however, and at Easter won two £IOOO handicaps at Randwick. He was second in the Epsom Han-' .'.dicap Becond in the Metropolitan, and ..:< second in the Meinour ne Cup with 8.5, .: The Warwick (Queensfand) Turf Club's carnival meeting was marked by very unusual incidents two horses—Nuthatch and , G-reynest-dead-heatiug in two different races.

Pangolin is booked to fulfil his engagements at the Dunedin Cup meeting, lian Lu Q 60ld to an A " stra - It is reported that In the Shade -had a bad passage in the Taranaki Cup, and had to be checked when making a £00(1 run ne*r the home turn.. b It is reported that the original arrange- . ment to turn Limerick out on his owner's , property at Racecourse Hill was not carried out. and he is'still attached to F D Jones a stable at Riccarton. There "has bee ? a * divergence of opinion as to the seat oj the trouble which overtook him an Sydney, but it ia now considered he sustained a cracked canon bone, presuma£ly rT b Ti f, tri . kin ar himself in his race in the Hill Stakes at Rosehill prior to the A.J.C. spring meeting. The affected leg was fired recently, and on veterinary advice the champion is.to be kept at the 6table, and later on will be treated to road exercise on the lead. It is probable . he will be put into work again sooner than- at one time intended with a view to ascertaining whether he will stand up to eolid training, and, if so, he may yet . l'eappear before the public in the spring. Foaled in 1918, The Hawk, who was able to beat a first-class field in the Tara- : naki Cup, must be regarded as a marvellous old campaigner, and his success is a striking tribute to the ability of his owner-trainer, J. M. Cameron. There : is ho need (saye an exchange) to dwell upon the great record of The Hawk in :.' the past. Sufficient to say that up to a mile.or a mile and a-quarter he was equal '■ to the best that New Zealand and Aus- '; tralia could produce, when in his prime. That period is now well passed, and although he has shown this season .ith a. win at Otaki and a recent third at Trentham that he can still rake eome of his old speed, it was a bit too much to anticipate a win yesterday at a mile and a-half in the Taranaki Cup. Inci- ' dentally, this is the first occasion in his long career that the old Martian gelding has been successful at a mile and a-hali. Twelve months ago last month he ran w second to Vertigem in . the Wellington Cup over that distance, eo yesterday he had his revenge. It will be a -long time

before such another as The Hawk makes ins appearance on the turf. All honour ° f marvel, but what are the thoughts of the trainers of the younger Horses whom he beat? The task of winning the Adrian Knox btakes proved quite as easy for Gay caiicrina as most racegoers anticipated. Only tour fillies opposed her. and one of them, Spanish Galleon, was left at the post (says a Sydney writer). Having in mind the exhibition of unruliness she gave at the start of the Challenge Stakes, tuß Starter did his utmost to ensure Ut}, eon ’? getting away with the field._ Finally the four walked up to the barrier, with the Victorian a couple of lengths behind. But the methods that had. succeeded with Nut Cup proved unavailing, for, instead of following her nvale when they jumped away. Spanish Galleon swung around in the opposite direction. _ Pay Paix and Shekels led Gay Ballerina and Malvina for about five furlongs, but .Bartle sent the favourite to the front beforS reaching the straight entrance, and she ran home an easy winner from Malvina, who beat Shekels by 12 lengths. Some big wagers were written under the winner’s name. What ia_ known as the Caligula case is still dragging on in Germany after several years of litigation. Recently three individuals were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, and one of them has already appealed. The case turps on alleged fraud in connection with the sale of the stallion. Caligula, winner of the Doncaster St. Leger, to the German Government. Nothing, of course, is alleged against the vendor, Sir Victor Sassoon, but only against certain other individuals, the allegation being th,at the German Government was induced to pay a far larger sum for the horse than the vendor received. That fine jumper Glendowie was a competitor in ring events at the Waiwera Show, and (says “Archer” in the Auck-. land Herald) he distinguished himself by carrying off five prizes. One can quite imagine a good-mannered horse and clever fencer Him Glendowie proving a redoubtable opponent in the show ring. Another attempt may be made to train Glendowie this season, and, as he has .received further treatment for his wind trouble since he raced last winter, there may be a chance of his making a comeback,' although his efforts last winter indicated that he.has seen his best day.

By Sentinel Tom Roe, admittedly one of the best men in the Dominion when it comes to handling square-gaiters (says Abydos ”), has a full hand of straight trotters under his care. .They comprise Gold Sovereign, Gold Star, Peterson, Nebraska, and a three-year-old. gelding , by The Triumph from Liberty Belle, Of the quintet Gold 'Sovereign and Peterson are most forward, and will be in rare buckle for immediate engagements. At the monthly meeting of the Trotting Association, the stipendiary steward, Mr R. T. Reid, reported that George Webb, jun.,- had been fined £2 for speakipg to spectators during the preliminary of a race Webb wrote to the association stating that he,Had not spoken to any one during the preliminary. The chairman stated that the stipendiary steward had exceeded his powers as 'the rules gave him, power only to "fine a man for an offence'during the running of the race. It was decided to write to the stipendiary steward to, this effect and to inform Webb of the decision of the board. At , the monthly meeting of the Trotting Association held last week, The New Brighton Trotting Club wrote stating that J. Bryce, jun., had been fined £1 for undue use of the whip., “It seems a very light fine,” said the chairman. “Apparently, however, he did not interfere with any other horse.” A member moved’ that the club’s action bo endorsed. The chairman: I move that the fine be increased to. £5. Hasn’t he offended in that way before? The secretary read extracts from a book. ' The matter was finally settled by endorsing' the action of the club, • and deciding to caution Bryce to be more-careful in future. Deaths of the following horses were at the meeting of the Trotting Association held last week:—Emmeline, Ivy .Dillon, Great Direct, Major Domb, Rothbell, Royal Review, Silver King and Wild Bird. , ;> Mb J. E. MKenzie has had more than His share of.bad luck during-the past few years, in the matter of losing valuable horses. Peter ■ big priced American-stallion; died last year, and a few months ago Author Dillon died. The most promising youngster at Roydon this season was the yearling colt by Silk Thread from Nulgeria, a natural trotter. Some time ago (says the Press) this coltcommenced .to lose condition, eventually fading away , to a shadow. 1 H© died last week'from what is believed to be tuberculosis. footing events figure on each day’s card for the Oamaru Jockey Club’s meeting. Tim, Trotting Association has increased the fine of 2sovs imposed on W Barron By the Wellington'Club for failing to check Dipnoi when breaking to 20sovs. It was also decided to recommend the Licensing Committee to call Barron before them and to inform him that another offence of a similar nature would result in the cancellation of his license. It was also decided to_ call upon D, Rodgers, owner of Dipnoi, to show cause why his horse should not be placed on the schooling list. Amongst the business transacted at j n , lee^E £ the Trotting Association held last week the following letter was received from the secretary of the Metropolitan Trotting Club:—“The Secretary, New Zealand Trotting Association,-rYour letter of December 17 was considered at a meeting of my committee held to-day, and I was instructed to make the following explanation:—After the Dominion Handicap an inquiry was held into the collision between Trampfaat and Young Blake, when, after hearing, the evidence, the Judicial Committee decided the affair was accidental. At such inquiry Mr Lowe, the owner and driver of Tramplast, stated that in his opinion, the occurrence was accidental. In the interval between the first two days of the meeting ■ and during the second day it was commonly reported that Mr Lowe now said that the interference with his horse was wilful. The stipendiary stewards interviewed him, and asked whether he would like to make a statement on the matter, to which he replied that he would. He was therefore brought before the Judicial Committee and made a statement. in the course of which he said that he was now satisfied that the interference was wilful. It was pointed out to him tll&t ID VIGW OI his previous evidence the committee could not, unless fresh evidence was produced, come to any other decision than the one already arrived at 'and adjourned the matter to enable Mr Lowe to produce fresh evidence if he so desired. Up to the present npthing further has been heard from him The second meeting of the Judicial Committee was called at the request of the stipenfhary_ stewards, who especially requested that Mr Lowe should be given every lati-' tude Id inaking his statement, which was done The meeting was not in the nature of a further inquiry, and was what might be called a fishing expedition,’ to obtain further information ou which a further inquiry could be held if necessary. Both the stipendiary stewards and the committee realised that if a further inquiry had been held Mr Tomkinson would have to be charged with the offence, and be present, as provided for in the rules I was to express regret that the association should corue to the conclusion that the matter had not been dealt with according to the rules without first requesting an explanation of the facts.” OTAHUHU TROTTING CLUB.
