M., Dunediu.— Exchange and Chain Shot are both engaged in the A.J.C. Derby. Mac, Naseby.— Lochiel has started only onca this season ; that was, of course, iv the New Zealand Cup, which he won. T. J. T., Oamaru.— Such a case is provided for by Rule 28, which Bays : " The stewards can, at their ! discretion, remove the judge, starter, clerk of tho coarse, clerk of the scales, or other official during a race meeting, and appoiut a deputy, substitute, or assistant." Pkobable Purchaser, Arrowtown.-- (1) He is rising nine years old. (2) Has not won a hurdle race so far as we can find out. (3) He is qualified, we bolieve, to compete in a maiden plate for horses that have never won a prize of over £15. (4) Yea ; a horse of the same name ran last season.

BY MAZBPPA. * + * They were a bright lot of jumpers that contested the Trial Steeplechase at the Wellington meeting last Saturday, livery man jack of them blundered in one way or another, and the winner distinguished himself by failing at leasb a dozen times at the sod wall, and after " climbing " this obstacle he twice baulked at the water jumpjeventually finishing five minutes infront of the second horse. This contest puts me in mind of one of theearlier races that Agent took part in — I think it was at Oamaru — when he and the other survivor among the starters were fully 20 minutes "bucking" at a water jump, which the son of Oliver Cromwell at last cleared and finished half an hour before the other member. It was nob sheer inability to jump, however, that caused the trouble last Saturday, for at the Hawke's Bay meeting Oddfellow proved himself a very fair fencer in the Maiden Steeplechase, and ran Kangaroo to a length in the Consolation Handicap ; while Shillelagh was put out of the race simply by an accident in losing his rider. In one way this may have proved a godsend to the owner, for Shillelagh had so little taken out of him that he was able to win the next event, the Hurdle Race, and land the nice dividend of £23 16s, in which it is more than probable that the stable participated. The chief event of the day, the Wellington Steeplechase, was a well-con-tested event, all but Waitangi clearing the fences without a mistake. Chemist's defeat was most decisive ; most probably he was a bib stale after recent efforts, and when you have a horse getting extra weight and naturally going off in condition it is no wonder to find him beaten. I don't say that Chemist was " off " last Saturday, but it is more than likely that this is the explanation of his failure. Kingask's day is over ; that is pretty evident when we find him beaten at level weights by a second-rater in a Selling Hurdle Race. Hurdle races were always his strong point. Lehore, winuer of the Winter Handicap, is a fashionably-bred filly, bein^ by Musket out of Miss Laura ; and as she bad but a feather weight there is no great credit attached to the performance. The sum passed through the totalisator was £16 more than last year.

%* The following table shows the results of the Wellington Steeplechase siuce its initiation :—: —

%* Speaking of the horses down to those at 7.6, " Nemo " considers that the best treated in the Metropolitan are Cranbrook, Cardigan, Silverton, and Pet Girl. This writer knows what he is talking about. His picks for the Hawkesbury Handicap are Cardigan, Keith, Honeydew, First Flaneur, Pet Girl, Phaon, Corday, Simon, Bernardo, Aberdeen, Touchstone, and Fleeto. *** What can be Mr Stead's object in scratching Gipsy King for the New Zealand Cup '} This question has been asked me half a dozen times during the last day or two, and I must confess that I cannot supply an answer. Silence's going out is easily accounted for, and Lady Florin's scratching was expected as soon as the handicap appeared, for these nags were certainly over-weighted, so much so that I question whether the handicapping committee looked up their performances prior to issuing the weights. But in regard to Gipsy King, no one can pretend to argue that at 3,1b over

weight-for-age he was unfairly treated; and, besides, if Mr Stead had wished to convey the impression that he believed his colt was overweighted, he would probably have scratched him the moment the handicap appeared. Whatever the real reason may be, there is little doubt that the immediate result of withdrawing Gipsy King from the New Zealand Cup will be to bring him more into demand for the Melbourne Cup. And those who come to that conclusion, aud make up their minds to back the colt for the Flemington event, may be as far astray as those who supported him for the New Zealand Cup. My advice to backers is to leave this nag alone for the present until the clouds lift and reveal the owner's intentions.

*#* Well, I may be asked> what do you think is worth backing for the New Zealand Cup ? Let us take a brief glance at the candidates in order of weight, and see if we can pick out anything likely to prove a remunerative investment. Not Nelson, I should say to begin with, for he is getting too old, and though at 9.7 he seems to have a show, I can't forget that Maxim donkey-licked him in the Canterbury Cup, and the old 'un now receives only 61b for that beating. Maxim, too, may be left alone for the present, for two reasons. First, he is not yet doing such work as proves him to be thoroughly right. And secondly, I very much doubt whether Mr Stead would win with a colt at half a stone over weight for age if he had a show with one of the others in the stable. Lochiel I certainly look on as a more likely one than Maxim, and I think the handicappers have been particularly merciful to last year's winner. At about 100 to 8 I should regard him is a good investment, and those who take even a point or two less will probably see their money back. The way he cut down Gipsy King last year was proof positive that he is a racehorse of the first class. Sextant is said to be on the sick list ; I cannot stand him. Tranter is still in Australia, and may be left alone until he is doing good work at Riccarton. Waitiri, we are told, is mending, and Munn hopes to knock another race out of her. I don't like the tone of this remark, and conclude from it that her standing a preparation is a matter of uncertainty. Escutcheon is one that may bo worth taking a long shot about, but not before some assurance is received that the colt is right. It will be remembered that he caught a cold or something of that sort on his trip from Sydney ; hence his non-appearance at the Auckland Easter meeting. Whakawai is a smart colt, and if brought across here will be worth watching ; but meanwhile 6hould be left alone.

* # * Marlborough is generally supposed to be hardly class enough for tip-top company, and so far he has not done anything particularly brilliant when opposed to the cracks ; but a sound five-year-old at 7.10, and one too that has such a history as this one, must not be too hastily despised. The next on the list is the thrown in of the handicap. I refer to Artillery. This nag has been handicapped purely on his recent form, and I suppose the committee are not to be blamed ■ for so doing ; but there is no doubt that that form was all wrong. The horse was never fit last season. When he came down to Dunedin he was as big as a bullock, and so stiff in his legs that people used to laugh when Patsy brought him out for exercise ; and yet I well remember how, a cjuple of mornings before the race, he shook off his soreness and showed us one of the best gallops of the season, and in the race self he was going as well as any of them it up to a mile and three-quarters, at which point his want of condition told on him, though he was able to stallroff and defeat all but two of those opposed to him. In view of all the circumstances, that was a first- class performance ; and as the horse is now doing good work, and has 51b off his back as well as a year's improvement, he should take a lot of doing in the Cup. He is assuredly good goods for backers Springßton is able to get the distance, and is sound ; so he ia worthy of attention also, though I don't think he should be at a very short price. I would just as soon have Silvermark, though I know there is a prejudice against him that he is a non-stayer. Carbine is such an exceptionally good colt that I should recommend him, even at 31b over his weight-for-age, were it known for certain that he would remain here. On this point, however, there is room for some doubt, and I think he is best left alone for the present. Beresford could not win with 6.0 last season, and ' how is he to win now with 7.8 ? Lochiel

gave him 261b, and now only gives him 191b. Good-bye Beresford. Quibble has also failed in the Cup under a lighter weight than that now served out to him.

*** St. Olair is about fairly handicapped, and those who get on at a long price may" see their money back ; but I do not think the little horse is a particular!}' good investment. Ruby is generally denounced as a non-stayer, and has been weighted on that presumption ; but he has not a great weight, and I should not be surprised to see him supplant Springston in the betting before the fl ig falls. Strenuous ran so badly at Wellington when supposed to be a really good thing that we are compelled to look on him as having a poor show in any first-class race. Antelope is another who seems more at home among the second classers. Sommeil is perhaps fairly treated in being placed within 61b of Carbine ; but I have no great fancy at present for the Dunedin colt. British Lion would be a bad spec at present. General Thornton's sole recommendation is that he is half brother to Lochiel. The Spy has made one appearance in public this season, and on that occasion failed to set the Thames on fire. Lorraine is well enough in at the weights ; but is he sound ? There is a doubt on the point. Northcoto has done nothing to warrant me in supposing that he has a 100 to 1 show, and the committee might have turned him loose among the six-stoners. Warama has proved herself to be a useful mare, and may have an outside chance, but this will be discernible in plenty of time — that is if it exists at all. Chain Shot, Alcinous, Phormiutn Tenax, Hotchkiss, Radiance colt, St. Jamea, St. Malo, Jet d'Eau, Dandenong, and the Gitana colt are all untried three-year-olds of whose ability it would be sheer guesswork to say a word. Richmond has started once, viz., at the Nel6on meeting, where he ran Forester to half a length at weight-f or-age in the All-aged Stakes— in view of which fact he should have had a few pounds more than Olive, who also started once.Jn tho Welcome Stakes, and ran nowhere. I don't say that Richmond should have been higher up in the list ; but Clive'should have been lower. What shall we say about Snapshot ? Well, I may be laughed at, but I am going to express the opinion that he is very well treated, and later on, if it is seen that he is doing satisfactory work, I think he may provu a payable investment. I am satisfied that this horse is not the cur that some make him out to be. Leopold is a useful colt, and it he comes down and trains on will be worth looking after with only 6.10. Redwood, too, who is on the tame mark, should be dangerous ; and Manton is to be preferred to either of these two, for he was much above himself at Dunedin, and yet ran second to Carbine in the Champagne, and subsequently beat a decent field in the Hopeful Stakes. Truth to tell, I would sooner stand Manton than any of the three-year-olds, and, though it may be heresy to say so, should no^; be surprised to see him prove jiim-

self the crack three-year-old of the. coming season. Cuirassier's position is owing to his breeding, I imagine ; for on past form he is certainly not up to either of the youngsters just mentioned. Wolverine is fairly weighted, and I don't think his owner has much cause to complain, though he is no " chuck-in." St. Swithin is, lam afraid, a rogue. Engagement may perhaps turn out the best of Bod Ray's lot ; at any rate I prefer her to Son-of-a-Gun, though the latter has done little to give ns a line as to his merits. St. Ives is no fancy of mine, fear Sinister may be a good one, but as he has only started once we can't say much about him.

*#* Eavenswing is too small, I fear, to take the fancy of backers. Torrent is said to be in training as a jumper. Enchantress we know little about. Vandal is a colt that may be dangerous ; lam conrinced that he will win something this next season, but whether a Cup is within his powers is another question. At a very long price he might be a good spec. Rainbow has yet to make her mark. Exchange is absuredly undervalued, and on the strength of his performances should have been at least half a stone higher in the list. Kimberiey is not like a Cup winner. Raglan finished second in the A.R.C. Nursery Handicap won by Leopold, and hence it is ridiculous to put him .at the minimum, though it does not follow that I think he will win. Hiko has not fulfilled the promise of his high breeding, and I don't fancy him at all. To recapitulate, I think that the most likely members in the race are Lochiel, Artillery, Manton, and Exchange. The handicap is not a particularly good one ; it would be so if some half-dozen of the weights were readjusted.

*** Duchess, the well-known trotting mare recently taken from Dunedin, competed in the Distance Handicap Trot at the Sydney Driving Park Club's meeting on the 27th ult. She was put 270 yds behind scratch, the limit being 450 yds behind, and finished fourth. Native Cat,^ 340 yds, was also unplaced in the same race.

%* Many persons are probably ignorant of the reason why Aristocrat is so much talked about in connection with the Australian spring handicaps. One of his latest performances was winning the Bookmakers' Purse at Rosehill, in which he carried 9st and went out first favourite. Writers on the other side expect him to see a short price for the Melbourne Cup. *#* Only local horses competed at the Waipawa County meeting on the 4th inst. The chief event, the Kaikora Handicap, of 30sovs, one mile and three-quarters, was won by Percy Martin's Ival, a five-year-old by Patriarch, who returned a dividen of £9 3s. The sum of £1679 was passed through the machine.

%* Owing to the ground having been undermined there was a subsidence on the Newcastle racecourse recently, and the Leger stand was shifted considerably out of plumb, while the fencing in the neighbourhood was bent and broken and the surface for some distance sank 2ft below the original level. What a show the local goody-goodies whould have had if this subsidence had occurred while races were being held— especially if someone had been killed ?

*** Those who may fancy Lady Betty for the V.R C. Derby will be pleased to hear that this smart filly has just recovered from an attack of congestion of the lungs. %* The sum of £753 was passed through the totalisator at the Nelson meeting. The sport all round seems to hare been greatly enjoyed. Cobler fell heavily in the Hack Hurdle Race, his rider having his collar bone broken and the nag going off the course lame ; but notwithstanding this Cobler was brought out for the Winter Oats Handicap, in which he finished last. The^ five starters in the Trot were driven in sulkies. A local paper says that although this event was set down as a trotting race, there was a good deal in it that wasn't trotting. That, however, did not detract from the fun.

*** At the next meeting of Sydney Tattersall's Club an amateur photograher who has been taking special interest in instantaneous photography will take up a position under the judge's stand and take a chart of the positions of the horses as they pass the winning post. This should prove of great utility in close finishes, and may, if accepted by the judge, frequently obviate the nesessiby for declaring a dead heat. As a question of mathematical exactness I should imagine that an absolute dead heat is a thing that would be likely to occur about as frequently as a total eclipse of the sun.

*** Mr R. Brown's brood mare lona, who has been running at the Taieri for some time past, last week slipped twins by Gorton. *#* At the Rosehill races on the 23rd ult., Cinderella was started with 8.11 in the Nationalists' Handicap, six furlongs, but was beaten out of a place, the winner proving to be Strephon (4yrs, 7.11), with Lady Marion (4yrs, 8.4) second, and Lady Lovell (3yrs, 6.2) third. The Rosehill Handicap, of 150sovs, was faaken by Mr J. Monaghan's five-year-old mare Rosebud, a daughter of Musket and Rosarina, who ■ carried 6.2, went out first favourite, andwonbya couple of lengths. Figtree and Teddy Yuille were among the unplaced members in this race.

*** Mr William Richard Virgoe, of Deniliquin, well-known in racing circles, sued Sergeant Bourg, of the [ Victorian police force, for assault and slander in connection with the latter stopping plaintiff on the lawn on Cup Day, on the plea that he was blocking the way. The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff of Is damages, with costs. The judge stated that the d ef endant had exceeded his duty. V The will of the late Mr John Tait, the well-known sportsman, has been proved under £24,300.

_*** It is understood that the Morphettyille (Adelaide) racecourse has been purchased by a lyndicate for £8000. It is the intention of the purchasers to let the course for racing purposes, and also to form a plumptoa. *** The committee appointed by the Legislative Council to inquire into the totalisator question is taking evidence in Wellington, and there is a possibility that the outcome of this movement and the combined action of the metropolitan clubs will be some legislation during the present session of Parliament, though this is by no means certain, for by the timo members have exhausted themselves on the tariff question and settled for another year the perennial quarrel of the ins and outs our legislators will most likely be too fatigued to address themselves to the commonplaces of domestic law-making, however urgently required. It is understood, too, that so far there is not complete unanimity between the metropolitan clubs in respect to the proposals of the C.J.C.

*** I learn from the Canterbury Times that Mr G. H. Clifford has suggested to the committee of the C.J.C. that the club should co-operate with the D.J.C. in efforts to obtain a paid starter for the two institutions. It is probable that steps in this direction will be taken at once.

*** A wiser proposal was never made, and I sincerely hope that it will receive due consideration. There is no need to set forth in detail nil the arguments in favour of such a course as Mr Clifford suggests, but I may be pardoned for mentioning that oue of the main benefits to be derived from having a paid starter would be that he would be amenable to discipline at the hands of his employers. We don't want to

hire a drudge, or to set up a figure-head for the purpose of sticking pins in it and knocking it about with a red-hot pokei after the fashion of Mr Quilp ; but we do require a man to whom a word of remonstrance or exhortation might be addressed if occasion required. An honorary office-bearer Is in a false position, and is in faot in the anomalous predicament of being neither servant nor master. As to the question of expense, I do not know that the salary need be entirely paid by the two clubs, for if they got a good man it is more than likely that other clubs would be glad to have his services and contribute towards his support.- It should be the easiest thing in life to arrange if a really first* class man can be found.

%* Mr W. E. Dakin is surely one of the unluckiest of men. While at the last Caulfield meeting he had his pocket picked of a £20 note. A bystander sang out that a thief had his hand in Mr Dakin's pocket, and the pilferer made such a hurried vamoose that Mr Dakin thought he had been foiled ; but on searching it was soon discovered that the note was gone. f£VV Little Formo, the half sister to Lady Evelyn and St. Clair, is to go to the stud this spring. She has been one of the most unfortunate nags on the turf, always good enough to tempt her owner to start her once more, and just wanting in that little bit to spare which is so necessary at a finish.

* # * James Cotton tells me that Snapshot is goingremarkably well, and besides being quite sound on his pins is as tame as a lamb.

***• The chief events of the Geraldine meeting remain the same as at the last gathering ; that is, the Cup is of the value of 80sovs and over a mile and a-half course, and the R.C. Handicap of 70govs,one mile and a-quarter. *#* The Otago cast-oS Peter Flat is one of the candidates for the V.R.C. Grand National Steeplechase.

*%* Mayflower, the Duntroon mare that Cotton had in training, has been sent back to her owner to run loose until she has done growing.

*** The Tuapeka Club have been negotiating with Mr M'Cluskey, with the object of obtaining a racecourse on his property at Wetherstones Flat. Mr M'Cluskey offered to level the ground and make a first-class course, with the necessary fences, if paid £120 for the first year, and £75 per annum for the remainder of a term for 21 years. It was considered that the terms proposed -were in excess of what the club could afford to pay,andacommittee, consisting of Messrs Craig, Oudaille, and Chalmers, was appointed to effect permanent improvements in the Domain course by carting soil on to the clayey portions of the racing track at an expenditure of about £40.

*** Walter Hickin botham recently met with a rather painful accident. After the customary routine of walking exercise in the afternoon, he was about to attend to the toilet of Enfilade, when the horse lashed out viciously and struck Hickinbotham on the forearm, inflicting a painful wound which confined him to his room for a few days.

*„.* The Lake County Press says that the match between Tinman and Berbina, run on Saturday week, resulted in an easy win for the former. A match trot between Tommy Dodd and Smith's bay mare (owners up) was interesting, the mare winning. Jimmy beat four others from scratch in a small sweepstake trot.

*** I regret to have to record the death of Mr James Daly, owner of Garibaldi The deceased gentleman, who had for some time past been licensee of the Baldwin Hotel, suffered a short but very painful illness, the causes of death being diabetes and a complaint of the bladder. He was 61 years of age.

* # * Abe Moss returned to Dunedin by the Mararoa on Tuesday last. I understand that he is only making a visit to his relations.

*+* Thomas Walter Cotton has sought the shelter of the Bankruptcy Court. The cause of his failure was sickness in the family, necessitating expenses beyond what were covered by his wages. From what I can make out it is purely a case of bad luck. His debts come to £206, and there are no available assets.

*** Jack Taggart intended to trot Maniac at Elsternwick Park last Saturday. In the chief event the Dunedin horse was asked to give a start to all the other horses engaged, being put at 50sec behind scratch, while Duchess was at 40sec, and Lady Grey at 30sec. If Maniac has won he will fetch a decent price.

***The stables opposite the Forbury racecourse entrance were burned down one day last weke. Tommy Cotton was, I think, the last tenant.

*** The payment of the first acceptance fee for the Grand National has weeded out seven of the entries — viz.. Moody, Master Agnes, Orient, Raven, Premier, Orlando, and Monteagle. Master Agnes' withdrawal! would doubtless cause some surprise in certain quarters, for some who profess to know a thing or two about jumpers had affected to believe that the big chestnut was real jam for this event, and he did not want for supporters even up to a day or so of his defection. Premier, too, was fancied by a few ; but the other malcontents had received no attention from backers. Well, we have now an even dozen engaged, and I imagine that about four will drop out when the final payment is due, leaving a decent field to go to the post. Chemist is regarded as a pretty sure starter, and he is really first favourite in Dunedin, his quotation being rather less than 4 to I—l1 — I say rather less, because I know of 10 to 3 having been accepted by one party, and I doubt whether 4 to 1 could bo now obtained. Irish King is next in demand, Joeing a slightly better favourite than Faugh-a'-ballagb, though this pair are both quoted at sto 1 ; while Mangaohane and Hakacome next, and the remainder constitute the outside division and are not enquired after. It should be noted that Kangaroo has incurred a 51b penalty by winning at Wellington, bringing his weight up to 11.1. Latest advices from Christchurch state that Haka is jumping well enough to satisfy his party, and those who at first despised this nag's chance seem less positive- about his inability to get over the fences. If he does take his jumps, the race is as good as won, for he has more speed than any of his opponents, and there is little doubt that he will stay. Next week I shall endeavour to pick the winner in one.

*»* The nominations for the Open Steeplechase at the Christchurch Hunt Club's meeting are Kangaroo, Landsborough, Irish King, Icenian, Panic, Isaac, Sawdust, Playboy, Waitangi, Chemist, Faugh-a-ballagb, Mangaohane, and Daddy Longlegs. Among the entriesfor the minor events we find the name of Torrent. What price this member for the New Zealand Cup ?

*** The Otago Hunt Club's season was brought to a close last Saturday.

* !|c * There has been nothing stai'tling in the betting market during the past week ; still a few wagers are always being Jaid, chiefly in the way of doubles. Manton is as much in demand for the Derby as anything, and Carbine has come into iavour for the New Zealand Cup, 10's having been accepted about him. Artillery, Lochiel, and Springston could be laid at comparatively short odds to almost any extent, but there is very little money in the market for either of them, and those bookmakers who have laid pretty near their full book about these nags are not anxious to go on, being commendably

.cautious to avoid * repetition of tie; Loohiel disaster of eight montbs ago. lam glad to observe this j wariness, and from what I know I fancy that this season's betting is being done on a safe basis, which means that if a man has the luck to win he will in all probability be paid. The following represents the odds on offer :—
