TALK OF THE DAY.

BY MAZBPPA

* # * Blizzard, who mqco coming from Warrington as a yearling has been continuously till quite lately in Mr Harry Goodman's hands, is now the property of Mr Sheath, who belongs somewhere up Tapanui way, and we may take it that the old fellow will never more be asked to stand the infliction of a severe preparation, but will be reserved for the comparatively easy lot of a country racer. In this capacity he may yet bo useful, though he has outlived th& qualit es whi'h have earned for him the title of the best of the Gortons.

*** South Canterbury Hunt Club Steeplechases were held last week at Summerlo^ze. It was a quiet little meeting chiefly for hunters, and one of the type that deserves encouragement. Four events were run The Hunt Club Steeplechase, four miles, each horse carrying 12.0, brought out a field of nine, including Lewis, Bellbird, and Catesby, and the lastmentioned son of Guy Fawkes won by about three lengths from Mr Thomson's The Mount, the latter beating Ballymena by a neck for second place. All but Demon jumped well, but Lewis was handicapped by an accident to his saddlery. A Hack Race, one mile, at catch weights, resulted in Mr .Crowe's Mobawk beating two others very easily. Mr Gray's Bellbird 12.0 managed to win the Hunters' Steeplechase, two miles, under a serious disadvantage, as he ran round one of the fences and had all his work cut out to pick up his lost ground. This he did, however, beating Mr Kane's Sam 11.5 by a length. The last-mentioned horse, a son of Johnny Faulkner, won the Final Handicap with 11.5, beating Little Wonder 11.7 by a length. There were no accidents of importance during the day, though the going was heavy.

*** The report presented to members at the annual meetiDg of the Auckland Racing Club last Monday stated: The committee congratulate you upon the success of the club during the past year, as it. shows every meeting resulted in*a profit, with one exception, the Autumn, in which the loss was only a small one, and this was owing to that meitir>g (always held here at Easter) clashing on this occasion with other important meetings at Napier and Christchurch. During the year five meetings have been held, the added money to which was £8910, as against £8900 the previous year, and the profits, as shown by the accounts attached, amounted to £475, besides a sum of £500 expended in improvements which were urgently required ; and the Government totalisator tax of £889, which for the first time has been paid out of revenue from that source, further reduced the net profit by that amount. Your committee have inaugurated a new race, called the Royal Stakes, to be run at the Summer meeting 1895-96, to take the place of the Musket Stakes. It clo3ed on the 19th July with 129 nominations, which must be considered highly satisfactory. The balance sheet shows the profits on meetings as follows : — First Spring, £90 17s lid ; Second Spring, £192 133 Id ; Summer, £1234 14s 8d ; Winter, £173 5s 2d. There was a debit of £2 15s over the Autumn meeting. The net profit on the year's transactions is £472 19s 4d.

*#* Rain fe^ll in torrents as the horses were preparing for the first race at Caulfield on the 21st ult. , and the course must have been pretty heavy when Trenton's son Glenhuntly took lmin 14$ sec to do the five and a-half furlongs of the Two-year-old Handicap. He won pretty easily, however, and Foulshani is said to rather fancy his Derby chance Marusa, another Derby colt, a brother to MalvoHo, wps one of the beaten lot. Three or four New Zeal sliders started in the Hurdle Race, but d ; d no good. Titanic 12.3, placed third, was half a dozen lengths away. Kapo 10.8 and Mutiny 10 4 finished together a lit le farther astern. The stake went to a son of Extinguisher named Extra, who started first favourite and won es he liked. This horse was once bought for £16 and used in a buggy. The Murrumbeena Handicap, of 125sovs, a mile and thr. c furlongs, was reckoned a fair thing for the Grand Flaneur horse Straightfire 8 5, and so it proved, es he took command at the d'stance, and ran home an easy winner by three lengths from Nada 7.7, Wolf (brother to Beau Brummel) carrying 7.5 into third place. Straightlire is now being asked about for the Caulfield Cup. In the next event, the Steeplechase, Mutiny 11 5 started favourite, aud ran so well, being beaten by only a length and a-ball" by Leander 10.3, that it was generally reckoned he would have quite got home if he had been reserved for this event mstenl of having the steel tiken out of him iv the Hurdle Rac-\ Darnley 9.5 filled third place. A further disappointment befell backers in the Kambrook Han<iica;\ They wanted Tullamore 7 9 and nothing else, and what happened was that th ; s colt ran second to Fragment, a three-year-old by Somnus- Scraps, carrying 7.2. Fragment is leased to J. H. Davis.

*** The decision of the V.R.C. in disqualifying Iconoc'ai-t for second place in the Two-year-old Handicap at the National meeting, and paying third money to the o ner of the winner and second money to the horse thab came in third, is being questioned on more than one ground. The Austra'asian remarks that the V.R.C seems to have overlooked the fact that there was a fourth horse placed — Glenhuntly. When the winner of a race is disqualified, the second horss usually takes the first prize, and the third second ; and in such circumstances the fourth horse, if so placed by

the judge, is surely entitled to the third prize, else what is the use of placing a fourth horfe ? Pursuing the subject further, it is a moot point if the V.R.C. committee acted properly in d'Squalifying Iconoclast ; and if it tad not the right, Mr CraFsweller, as the owner of Iconoclast, is still entitled to the second prize. Rule 113 lays it down thatnoobjtct'on on the ground of miskescription, or of error or omission in an entry, can be entertained after a race, unless a charge of fraudulent entry, or of running a horse under a fraudulently false description, or other fraud, be preferred in connectiou wich it. This rule was adopted for the very purpose of putting an end to object : ons on technical grounds — such, for instance, as the objection to Iconoclast. Mr F. F. Dakin, the handicapper, knew Iconoclast very well, and handicapped him as Iconoclast; and although it is said that he ought to have been nominated as " Iconocast, late Kissing Point " — an assertion that has not yet been proved — it will hardly be contended' that there was either misrepresentation or fraud in the entry. The question therefore o rises : "Was Iconoclast properly disqualified ?" The secretary of the Bairnsdale Club fays that the colt w*s entered for that club's Sires' Produce Stakes without a name. When the second payment became due it was a condition that all horsfs entered should be named, and Mr E. Saunders, who owns Iconoclast, named him Kissing Point, but us ho was about to lease him did nob pay up. „Under the circumstances it is questionable whether Iconoclast can bo said to have been nominated as Kissing Point, and Mr Cra-s-weller, who has a lease of Iconoclast, may ask the V.R.C. committee to reconsider its decision m disqualifying Iconoclast.

*#*■ Ascot opened on June 19 with a meritorious win in the Trial Stakes for the big four-year-old Btst Man, who, whether by Ormonde or Melton (his dam'was twice served), is a credit to his parentage, as he was carrying an 181b penalty. The French horse Avoir, a son of Zut and Thrift, was one of the 11 starters for - the two-mile handicap, the Ascoi Stakes, and he started second in request to Cannon's horse Irish Wake, but neither had any show in the race. The contest was practically reduced to a duel between lied Ensign and Aborigine, representatives of the two sfables that had the issue to themselves last rear, when Sir R. J«rdioo's Eni,iskilleu beai Al-c Taylor's Madame d'Albany, whereas on this occasion Taylor's fancy, Aborigine, won, in medium time. The winner, a great lea'hering bay, was bred by bis owDer and had previously won nothing but the Scarborough Stakes at Doncaster lest season. Sempronius, the penalised runner for the Prince of Wales's Stakes for three-year-olds, was done rith when a quarter of a mile had to be covered, and Contract, capitally ridden by Bradford, got to the end of the mile and five furlongs in 2miu 53sec— a higher rate of speed than h:8 ever been seeu in the Derby. The winner had only made one previous public appearance, when he ran second to Clwyd for the Newmarket Handicap. Last year there was a walk over for the Gold Vase. Tbis t<mo eight s' arted, and a very interesting raco resulted. Barmecide kept them going all the ' time till half way up the straight, when he died out suddenly, and Sarana in turn looked a certain winner, but she, too, failed in the last few yards, and Qusasitum's condition brought him home. Little Saintly ran a wonderfully good pony in the Coventry Stakes, and it was only by sheer length of stride that the big colt Whiston beat her. He is not, however, reckoned sound, and judges reckon that the most promising member of the field is Tarporley,, a son of St. Simon and Ruth, who, as yet a mere baby, has the makings of a. racehorse. None the Wiser, who is bred something the same way as Surefoot, beat Bullingdon fau-ly in the Ascot Derby and raced so nicely as to beget an idea that perhaps she is the best of the three-year-old fillies seen out this season. There were several good ones of this class at Ascot on the day referred to, for the Coronation Stakes is restricted to racers of thab sex and age ; and here it may be noted that Amiable's pentlty stopped her. Thros'le, one of the Kingsclere crowd, who outstayed her opponents, had never before won a race. Four and twenty went out for the Royal Hunt Cup, and the result was a complete upset of all calculations. Maundy Money was the only one of the favourites to make a show, and the race went to the ex-selling plater Victor Wild, who was bought for 330gs after winning a race at Portsmouth, and whose owner had nothing on but the merest trifle. The runners for the New Stakes included Gas, a half sister to Ladas, and she finished fourth. Kissing Cup, who won, rather to the surprise of her party, since she had been beaten in her trial, is own sister to Wedding BpII, who won last year, and was bought by the Duke of Westminster at the sale of Mr Simons-Harrison's yearlings for the sum of 2400g5. The meeting of La Fleche and the French colt Callistrate caused a certain amount of interest in the Gold Cup, but it can hardly be said that they met on level terms. Callistrate was suffering from cracked hee's, while the mare looked to be in great form. So she proved to be, for when the deciding moment came she walked away in the most decisive manner. Some rare good horses have won this race — Isonomy in 1879 and the following year, and then in succession Robert the Devil, Foxhall, Tristan, St. Simon, and St. Gatien, while Buccaneer and Marcion are recent winners.

*#* Now thab all fu'l particular are to hand it is seen that the Grand 'Prix furnished a desperate finish. The French horse got home by ODly a neck, and with naught to spare. Still he plainly won, and that is more than was universally acknowledged in regard to Ravensbury's defeat by Ragotsky last year. The excuse made on behalf of Matchbox is that, having been wound up for the Derby, ron 10 [ days earlier, he was not so blight as if he had not essayed the job of tackling Ladas. It is no light task, as ono writer puts it, for a horse tbat is evidently short of dish a<-d speed to tackle Ladas twice, supposing ho is, like Matchbox, a really game cue, for it means a bitter struggle under full pressure for a great part of (he distance. Efforts like the^e take the steel out of the stoutest, and I do 210 I; think one whit the woive of the son of St. Simon for bis defeat Ba on S'hickler's victory was exceedingly popular. He -aces simply. for honour and glory, and never speculates in the ring; consequently thequestionis never asked of a horse from his stable as to whether it is wanted. This wa- his third Grand Prix.- He won last year with Ilapotsky. and in 1890 with FitzRova, and is now a tie w th M. Delamarre and M. Blanc who have e-ch won the Grand Piix thrice. Dolma Ba^htche, who is (rained by Webb, at Chantil : y, >» as I r«d by his owner at the Martinmast Stud, c'oso to ' herb urg, and the colt'a sire, Kra''a'oa, was also bred at the same place, but the rest of the Grand Prix winner's breeding is English, for Krakatoa's sire is Thunderbolt, and his d .m Little Sister, a Hermit mare who went across to France carrying with her the then unborn Krakatoa ; and Alaska, dam of Dolma Bdghtche", was also bred in England, being b7 Galopin from Agapanta, by Typhceus from Mother Bunch, by The Cure, The rider of the winner, Dodge, is also,

one might suppose, English. He is one of the best jockeys in Paris, but had never before had a winning mount in the big race. Lane would have had the ride but for being compelled to stand clown.

*** John Corlett, always readable, has lately said some hing wbieh our owners and trainers may perc ance study to advantage No races take so little winning, he says, as long-distance ones, and in no races' are bad horses more frequently successful, which is the same fact differently expressed. This being the case, why is it that owners and trainers do not lay themselves out more than they do to secure some of the many rich prizes, such as that run for at Chester ? Owners and trainers are much like a flock of sh^ep, following one another, and seldom striking out a line for themselves. All our best handicap horses are trained for distances not exceeding a mile and a-quarter The reason given for this is, in a way, clear enough. The largest stokes are to be won in these races, and training a horse for a long race takes far nice out of him than preparing him for one run over a shorter distance. In days gone by, however, when there were no short races, no difficulty was experienced in training hors'-s for long ones, and horfes so trained lasted on much longer than they do now. It is on that fact that we now hang our text. Would it not be worth while with a horse that looks like staying to train him for lougd'stance races only ? We are inclined to think that it is in running a horse for speed one day, and over a long course the next, that mischief is done to the animal's legs. The sinews are likely to be more highly tried in the lightning movements of short races, with their many fahe starts and sudden pulling* up, than they would be by a steady gallop of t»o miles with no false ? tarts. Take some of our hunters' races, for instance, and see how long- many of the horses stand. They keep on running long after- the brilliant miler has hopelessly broken down. L<-t the experiment be tried, therefore, with a promising young horse of training him ouly for loug-d'st-uice ra'e^, giving him those s.low, steady swea's that were in vogue wbeu our horse i were more famous for their stamina than they are now. If the experiment proved successf d g eat would be the reward. Very large sums are to be won on these races, and you do not see your money lost at the outset through getting a bad start, as you so frequently do in the more modern contests.

*** Ife turns out to be Mr W. C. Yuille, not Mr A. Yuille, who died recently in Melbourne. Sydney Referee's notice of the deceased sportsman is the basis of the information in this paragraph William Cross Yuille was bom at Cardross, Dumbartonshire, on March 29, 1819, and came to Tasmania in 1836. In tbe following year he arrived in Vie oria, ard started squatting near Geelong He was one of the first white men to settle on the present site of Ballarat Later he came to Melbourne At the second race meeting held there, in 1839, he rode Irs own horse Nobby in a match against a Tnsmanian mare o*ned by Mr William Wood, and won it easily. Later he raced on the new course at St. Kilda, where his Field Marshal beat Mr Kilburn's Liberty in a match for £50 a-side. In 1858 Mr Yuille turned his attention wholly to the (urf, taking up his quarters at Williamstown. In 1859 he won the Oaks with Birdswing, and The Orphan beat the crack steeplechaber of the time, Pop Goes the Weasel. Mr Yuille was best known, perhaps, as the owner of Flying Buck, the winner of the Brsb Champion Race run at Flemington in 1859. The picked horses of five colonies were engaged. Flying Buck was an outsider, but his owner's judgment was sound, and won him about £11,000 in bets as well as a stake worth £2750 Prior 'o tbis Flying Buck had made a name by beating Main Hoyal in a canter in a mat h for £200. Mr Yuille was not quite .<-atislied with the manner in which Flying Buck had been ridden in previous races, and he became suspicious on tbe day of the match owing to the fact that long odds were being offer* d against him, and he changed the jockeys at the last moment. Flying Buck's price at once shortened to even money, and he won in the easiest possible manner. After winnng the St. Leger, Mr Yuille sold Flying Buck for £700 to Mr T. Bevan, who bought him with the idea of winning the next Champion Race, but the horse was poisoned before the race, and though he started favourite for the second Champion Race in Sydney, he ran nowhere, and never afterwards did Buy good, ending his days between the shafts of a cab. Toryboy was at one time Mr Yuil'e's property. Mr Yuille was a well-known writer for the press after he gave up racing in 1866. In 1878 he founded the auctioneering firm of W. C. Yuille and Co., and he a'so started the Australian Stud Book, which his sou, Mr Archibald Yuille, now compiles.

* # * Though the handicap for the New Zealand Cup provoked rather more criticism than usual, it bas stood the first practical test in a most satisfactory manner. On Friday last the first at ceptauce of 3-tnvs became due, and the owners of 51 horses paid up. Mr Henry should be, aud doubtless is, highly gratified Last year, with 71 entries, 4ft accepted ; this time, with one entry less, the acceptances show an increase of half a dozen, reaching to the exact total of 1892. While on figures I may continue by stating that in 1891 there were 44- acceptances ; in 1890, 3£ ; and in 1889, 37. The percentage this year is capital, and no one will be better pleaded than my-elf if the run of good luck thus started r.ms right through to the j'idge's verdict.. The 19 that have dropped out of the New Zealand Cup are Merganser, Ich Dien, Lakeshell, Banner, Reflector, Golden Fieece, Hybrid, Goosander, Barmby, Bugler, Needleguu, Colebeck, Meteoro, Duckenfield, the Kopeki gelding. Rainbow, Iliad (dead), King Wa', aud Teredina. Of this crowd, Lakeshell may have been backed for a trifle, but not for much ; possibly a few northern backers have lost a little over Needlegun, a nice colt who has, I understand, split a hoof ; and there is a chance that the general watchfulness exercised with respect to Hybrid may have led some persons to accept a wager about tbis son of Lndy Emma. Beyond these, I cannot conceive of any of the non-acceptors doing the army of backers any harm. Merganser was ceitainly left alone, and on ample warrant, for I under.- tand she is not in work. I notice as somewhat pecu'iar that neither Cutts nor ftiasoli has ; h's year a single acceptor. Mr Stead having withdrawn Ich Dien and Hybrid takes up tbe posi ion of a mere onlooker, and S r G. Clifford is in the same fix, though he had three nominated, including Golden Fleece, a filly that was r ckoncd to be a possible among t^e three-j ear-olds I do not quite understand her being taken out of til*} Cup and paying up for the Derby, unless on the supposition that tbe owner thought her badly handicapped — a conclu*ion in which everyone would not agree, for she showed good form in the Challenge S'akes.

* # * Prime Warden, now standing at the head of the list, has twice started in the New Zealand Cup. In 1892 he carried 8.10 and finished seventh, and last year with 8.7 he ended just astern of the placed horses. I do not regard

him as anything of a chuck in, though he has some sort of a show. Six of the others have also had ago in the big handiop. Liberator was third with 710 last year ; Hippomenes was last in the same race with 83 ; and Beadonwell, carrying 6.11, fell. Vogeugang started in 1892, and with 7.9 finished n .where. Dilemma humped bis 7.0 into second plice, behind St. Hippo in that race, and the year previously finished last when carrying 6.2. The other memberiu the present list who has had a go in the New Zealand Cup is Rosefeldfc, who was third with 613 in 1891 (British Lion's year), ran sixth, with 7.8, in the Cup won by St. Hippo, and won last year with 7.7. I do not care a very grea deal for her chance tbis time, though in a weak field she would possibly have to be reckoned with. The four tbat I mentioned when the weigh s came out — viz ,Au Revoir, Skirmisher, Pegasus, and Pompom — are all live goods so far, and so far as I know are doing well. Skirmisher certainly is. Nothing in the world can be looking brighter than he is, and now tbat Mr Reid has let us into the secret of his intentions as to this horse's mission, by withdrawing him from the Melbourne engagements, and paying up for the N Z. Cvp — for which information at so early a date we are all much obliged to you, tir — I feel emboldened to recommend Skirmisher as a medium of investment for tbos3 who, rather unwisely, like to back hordes early. Regarding Pegasus, also, we have authorised assurance that he is doing well, and on present information he is reckoned a pretty sure starter. On the whole I I eel warranted now in taking the f air originally named as a definite selection of what I regard i-s the pick of the bunch. All the same Ido not pretend to pick the winner in these four. It woo Id be absurd to undertake the task of picking the Cup in twice or thive times four unt 1 a bit nearer the day. It is even money about naming a starter so far ahead as we are just now, and thee «re three or four conundrums to te solved ere one can speak with any degree of confidence about the race. Saracen's destiny is one consideration. Personally I don't much care for this horse, but o'ho-s do, and not a few would like to kno.v whether he is to stop in New Zealand or go over to Australia. Then there is fome mystery about Royal Rose and Three Star, who are actually on Au«tralian soil at present, and it seems to bo a question as to Beau Brummel's game, though personally I am beginning to fancy he will remain in New Zealand for the spring. My readers may rest assured that I shall keep a. bright look-out on these and other horses engaged in this Cup and endeavour to give reliable information. Meanwhile I present the usual table showing the odds obtainable in Dunedin yesterday :—: —

NEW ZEALAND CUP.

*** For the Welcome Stakes 28 have made progress payment. There were 32 in 1893, 26 in 1892, and 30 in 1891. Otago is represented by Outpost's half-sister Salute, Lady Emma's daughter Emmeiine, the brother to Blizzird who appeals in Mr Craig's nomination, Mr Stead'n cast-oft" Red and Back. and I huppose we tuay add the colt by Hofcchk'ss — Tasmania, now recognisable as Quatorze, as this youi-gster is located in Duuedin, and presumjbly intends to stick here for a while, though Mr Mossman is at the other si^e of the w< rid It is a. bit early to evn guess what these youngsters wi'l be like by race day. but Salute, the brother to Blizzard, and R( d and Black are at present promising very well, and that is all thH can be said. The-e are 15 left in the Oaks, three more than last year, five moretbat in 1892, and within two of the number registered in 1891. Quality such as is now brought together was never befo c seen in the Oaks There is thechampion Bluefire, and a really good mare in Searchlight, while Neroli has won a Champagne, and Teredina, Golden Fleece, and Britomarte are superior goods. For tbe Derby 24 remain in. Last year the count was 20 ; in 1892 and the year -before, 21. Here again a fine list is presented. Bluefire, Pompom, Casket, Three Star, Blarney, Searchlight, Neroli, Artilleur, and Golden Fleece — what a race we should see if these nine came to the post all in tif -top con' dition !

*#* Southern Standard reports a meeting of the Waimea Plains Jockey Club called for the purpose of considering the situation. The Secretary (Mr Gee) t-tated that last year's races had been a failure rinancitlly, inasmuch as the totaPsator receipts only came to £40, against £115 the previous >ear; a'so that tbe membership was only 12, a^ against 45 of the previous year. The club's liabilities amounted to £33, and there was only about £18 availab'e to meet that amount. The President regretted exceedingly the unfortunate position of affairs. It was absurd to think that the club should only have 12 members. He would suggest that, as the club had always been solvent, its buildings and other avai'able assets be sold, and its debts honourably paid. Mr James Ke'ly agreed with the president, and moved that in view of the present financial position of the club, it be an instruction t > the secretary to at once advertise the available assets for immediate sale by public auction ; also, tbat notice be sent to each mem-

ber of the club, with a view of holding a final meeting on the 11th hist. Mr M. Lawlor cordially agreed with all that had been said by the president and Mr Kelly regarding the position of the club No one could regret more than he did the serious position of affairs, and he fully recogi ised that there was no other way out of the difficulty th*n that suggested by the president and Mr Kelly. The officers and members of the club were in no way responsible for the present position of affa'rs. Circumstances over which they had no control had, to a large extent, brought about the present juncture Ho seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr Slocombe thought that by appealing to the patriotism of the settlers and having the old ground again tbat the club would be fully restored to its former position. Mr Valentine said that there seemed no difficulty in obtaining a local course ; it only remained with those in authority to decide the question as to what was to be done for another year. It ouly required a little energy on the part of the executive to bring about a successful issue to its labours, and the continuance of the existence <f the Waimea Plains Jockey Club on a sound footing. The President (Mr W. A. Donald) thought an appeal should be made to the district, and if sufficient support was not forthcoming then, the old-established club would be no more.
