A Derby Candidate The Great Northern Trotting Derby candidate Great Jewel, by Jewel Pointer —Harvest Home, continues to. make good progress in his preparation, and he will have his first race at the coming Auckland meeting. He is sturdy, with a good turn of speed, and plenty of courage, and when in action very much resembles his sire. Great Jewel is a half-brothei- to Guid Hairst and Great Chum. The last-named was a very promising three-year-old, but after winning at Epsom in the spring he contracted an internal ailment, which ruined whatever chance he had in the Derby. Mr D. Brideson is hopeful that Great Jewel will be more fortunate. •’

A Strong Team Some idea of the numerical strength og F. J. Smith’s trotting team at Tauanini can be gleaned from the fact that his entries for the two days of the coming Epsom meeting total 34, representing 14 horses. The list is made up as follows: —Nelson Luvan (five), War Paint (four). Bonny Azure, Rayon D’Or and Nellotta (three each), Pearl Parrish, Television, Baron Alfonson, Travis, War Officer, King’s Warrior and Worthy Light (two each), Mapula and Nell Volo. Of this number, King’s Warrior, Travis, War ’ Officer, Bonny Azure, Nelson Luvan and Nellotta claim engagements at Hamilton on Saturday and Monday. Visiting Pacer»

The appearance or the Australian pacers Evicus and Eimilius Way, added interest to the training at Addington on Saturday, and though they were not sent against the watch, says the Press, they did a very pleasing work-out over two miles, which occupied 4min 41 3-ssec, the first mile in 2rain 25sec. Emilias Way made practically all the running, but Evicus drew up in the straight and the pair passed the post on even terms. Fernbrook Lass trailed the visitors all the way, but was not on a record-break-ing mission. Evicus, who will start off 12 yards behind in the New Zealand Cup, is a very fine pacer and with her stable-mate she will make her first public appearance at the Oamaru meeting next Monday. Emilius Way will contest the Oamaru Jubilee Handicap from a 4min 30sec mark, and later will be engaged iu important events at the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Chib’s meeting nest month. In Chancellor, Gamble, and Graham Direct Emilius Way will attempt to give 12 yards’ start to three very fine pacers that are at the top of their form. Evicus is engaged amongst the star performers in the Weston Handicap" and handily placed on 12 yards behind her first appearance is keenly awaited. Many good horses have been brought from Australia at different periods, and Evicus and Emilius Way are in the highest class. The owner, Mr G. IT. Rudd, is to be congratulated on the enterprise he Lias shown in bringing his two champions to New Zealand and any success that may come his way will be well received.
