By Sentinel. Tb« Dunedin Jockey Club The annual meeting of the memberejo« Ifce Dunedin Jockey Club will be held this evening. A Recruit ~ The Rosenor gelding Grey ?«**££ might develop .into a jumper.* Triaox The Panmure gelding Tnsox, wno is «« K ed aHhe Waimate Hunt meeting, .SKI a moderate third to Panocha and Graball in the Waiau Steeples run at the Riverton meeting. t

Two Engagement* Oolden Dart. Importance, rompeii, vfflata, First View, P Call Monev Queen Dorothy. Trisox, Cappy Ricks and Red S claim two. engagements at the Waimate Hunt meeting. Winter Cup Favourite Knockfin, who is one of the favourites i AP rt Winter Cup, has not raced since ne finishedSond'at the spring meeting •+ Washdvke last October. She is exJectTd to relume at the two hunt meetings this week. ! A Son of the Sea Jack'-a-hoy, who figures in the field for the Novice Stakes, to be run at the Waimate Hunt meeting, is a eelding by Lord Warden from Receipt. f£h£ started without getting amongst tmj money, but on breeding should prove more than useful.

Waimate Riders C'T. Wilson Trill ride Cleaner'in her race at Waimate, but P. M'Grath has not secured a jockey for Pompeii.' A. Messervy will handle if he, is started in the Waimate Hack Handicap. The Kurow Course Although it is close on four years since a race meeting was held at Kurow, the racecourse has not been allowed to tall into disrepair. An inspection made a few days ago disclosed that the numerous buildings have been painted regularly and that the track itself is in good condition. Barbs and Arabs In one. English race, the Queen Alexandra Stakes, two miles six furlongs and 75 yards, run at Ascot, pure Barbs and Arabs are allowed' 281 b. A great many years ago it was' proved that the best Arab was not up to the standard of an ordinary English racehorse, either as a •printer or stayer. The "flying Arab of romance does not shine on the racecourse, except in his own class. Membo Breaks Down . Membo, who started /equal favourite with Redditch in the VJR.C. Grand National Steeples, broke down. I .had the misfortune to be behind both Redditch and Boy Blue when they fell, said U Dulieu, "and interference was unavoidable. The old fellow was going well until we crossed the riverside treble ">rthe last time, and then he broke down. Until then I thought he might win. He had been going particularly well. ,

Progress at Riverton The committee of the Riverton Racing Club, in addition to erecting a new total- ' isator house, -will add to the accommodation for their patrons by the erection of \ another stand. In future there will be no outside enclosure, and admission \ charg.es to the lawn are to be reduced. A further improvement consists in widening the course to provide for more than 19 horses to start in a race. New starting barriers similar to those at Riccarton Will also be installed. Woton

The rising three-year-old Wotan S Tinted well at Trentham on Saturday, e looks definitely on the improve, but T. R. George is doubtful yet if he will be ' back to his best in time for the big meeting at Randwick in October. All going well, he will remain in Australia for the Victorian spring, meetings. This Siegfried colt, who has had only one race, is very much in the boom, and.he has been made one of the popular fancies for the Melbourne Cup. He has done nothing yet to justify that high estimate, though he may develop into a good horse. Retired from Racing The speedy Coronilla has quit the racing path for the stud and will form one of Mr T. H. Lowry's brood mares at Okawa (says a Hawke's Bay writer). Coronilla, on the score of breeding, should ■ prove, valuable in her new life, as she was got by Chief Ruler from d'Ortf, by All Black—Aurarius, by Maltster—- - Aurous, by Wallace—Aura. Doree, dam of Princess Doreen, is a .half-sister by Lucullus to Coronilla, while others of the i family are Doraldo, Palace and Moorland. As d'Oro is a full-sister to Desert Gold and Nigger Minstrel, it can be observed that a wealth of running blood flows in the reins of Coronilla.
