She is a level-headed mare, and a quick beginner. Mr. Halliday is an old associate of the sport.' He owned Nelson de Oro, a speedy gelding who won several rates for him under the supervision of J. Henderson. Trentham Trip Possible

The inquiry into the falling of Tudor in the. Coronation Steeplechase at Te Kapa. when C. McQove.ni complained that he was interfered with by Don Erina, was resumed last week, nut after further consideration the judicial committee decided to take no action. Adverse Changes Hands

Xuipai. a three-year-old gelding belonging to one of' the •finest staying families in Australia and New Zealand, has rejoined Mrs. .1. Campbell's team at Riccarton. He raced three times unsuccessfully last season and was then put aside in order that he might be given time to develop. The spell has done him good, as he has grown and filled out, and he looks as though he has done useful work in recent months.

Through his dam. First Class, Nuipai comes from the family that produced Wakeful. Mentor (Melbourne Cup), and the great New Zealand horse Nocluiform. His half-sister. Society, by Absurd. produced the well-performed Talking.

First Class, winner of the A.J.C. and V.R.C. Derbies this season, was bred bv Mr. \V. O. Stead in 1916. and was bv All Black (sire of Desert Gold, Maid oi' the Mist Pel-shore, El Dorado, etc.) from Class, by Wallace from La Tosca by Robinson Crusoe. Nuipai's sire, Roydon, is by Lemberg's great son, Ellangowan, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas and £14,885 in stakes. To date his progeny have not done anything out of the ordinary, but not many of them have been raced.
