TROTTING NOTES

By Sentinel Jottings Because of the limited accommodation on the lawn, the committee of the Auckland Trotting Club has decided not .to admit .children under 12 years to that enclosure, and that those over the age will be charged the fuli adult rate. Children, however, will be admitted free to the outside enclosure. To Reappear Dillonia Queen, a five-year-old halfsister by Dillon Hall to Blue Horizon, is down to reappear during the holiday meetings, fsJie has raced very little to date—once as a three-year-old and twice last season—and from now? on she will be given an opportunity to justify the patient policy that has been adopted with her. For Auckland In the Mood, Warform, Sea Born. Highland Scott. Parrish Lad, Emulous. Cemeronian. Bel Hamed. Characteristic, Air Marshall, Danny Malone, Believe Me, Casabianca, Tall Timber, and Lord Peterson are among the South Island horses whose passages have been booked for Auckland. Victory Boy Following on several place performances in Southland, Victory Boy made his first appearance for his new owner, Mr H. W Alston, in the second division of the Glendore Handicap at Motukarara. Victory Boy started auickly and was in second place for 11 furlongs. He finished gamely under pressure, but had no chance with Local Gold and Renown’s Pride over the crucial stages of the contest. The race should improve Victory Boy, and he will probably win a race on the West Coast circuit. The class of the Metropolitan Handicap, of £7OO, on the second day of the Forbury Park meeting next month is 4min 36sec for two miles, the same as the Dunedin Cup. The class is wrongly printed as 3min 52sec in this week's Trotting Calendar.—Advt.
