NOTES BY SIR MODRED. Bon Spec stripped in greatly improved form at the Cheviot fixture on Saturday, having lost a great deal of the lumber he carrier at the Southern holiday fixtures. He will probably be heard of to advantage at the late Autumn and Winter fixtures. It is understood that Mr G. L. Rutherford’s horses, including Royal Star and Maoriland, hitherto prepared by E. Scoullar, ftave changed stables. In future the gallopers referred to are to be under the care rf R. Emerson. This step may have been nfluenced by the fact that Emmerson jas been very successful with Jazz, who iroved a disappointment when owned by <r Rutherford. Two valuable yearlings leave Lyttelton r»y the Moeraki this week for Australia — a full brother to The Cypher, the colt by Martian—Polyninia, who cost 2000 guineas at the November sales in Christchurch, and the colt by Martian—Lady Lucy, bought on the same occasion for 525 guineas for Mr E. A. Connolly (Melbourne!. The Cypher's brother is owned by Mr D. Eccles, who races the runner up for the Melbourne Cup. The colts have been reared here since November.

Although he was beaten at the Cheviot Meeting the three-year-old half brother to Bon Spec is likely to develop into a useful galloper. The son of Nassau and Signal is a nice colt but is rather inclined to be highly strung at present. He races in the same colours as the Winter Cup winner, Bon Spec.

Palestrina left here on Saturday to take part in the Wanganui Jockey Club’s fixture. She is at the top of her form at present but hitherto has not travelled well.

An interested observer at the Cheviot meeting on Saturday was the ex-Southland veteran-trainer Jas. Lawson, who now acts as first lieutenant in G. S. Smith’s trotting establishment, which shelters Loganwood, Bellfaahion, Lee Norris and other good horses.

The Southland-owned Songbird is working again at Riccarton. although he is not being seriously tried out at present. The Kilbroney horse has got rid of the cold be contracted when racing at the recent Wellington meeting and he is moving is a very satisfactory manner.

It is understood that S. Waddell will take some of Mr W. T. Hazlett’s well bred yearlings to Hawke’s Bay to be prepared W Spring engagements. GORE RACING CLUB. NOMINATIONS.

CRICKET. OTAGO v. WELLINGTON. NORTHERNER’S UPHILL BATTLE. (Per United Press Association). DUNEDIN, February 19. The Otago v. Wellington match was continued to-day in bright sunshine. Rain fell during the night, but the wicket was in good order when play commenced at 11 o'clock. Hiddlestone and Baker opened to the bowling of Dickinson and A. Alloo. In I Dickinson’s second over, Hiddlestone lifted ■ a hot one to Conradi at mid-on, who dropped it. Hiddlestone placed the next one j fairly into Shepherd's hands at mid-off, but the chance was again refused. The batsman appreciated the fieldsmen’s leniency and commenced to score steadily. With the score at 42, Douglas, a slow break bowler, replaced Dickinson, but the score continued to mount slowly but steadily. Conradi replaced Alloo, but a four to each batsman brought 70 up. Shepherd took a turn with the ball and Hiddlestone played the sixth ball on to his wicket 74—1—32. Kortlang was the newcomer and, with 88 on the board, Baker skied Conradi and Dickinson, running, effected a nice catch 88—.2—41. Collins filled the vacancy, but after scoring a single was clean bowled by Dickinson. 95—3—1. Dempster came in and Kortlang brought the century up with three to on off Dickinson after 93 minutes’ play. The scoring became slower, and the batsmen were still together at the luncheon adjournment, when the score was 119 for three wickets, Dempster 12 and Kortlang 19, which took 48 minutes to compile. On resuming the batsmen went along cautiously, but shortly after, Kortlang, who had not been feeling well, had to retire temporarily, his score then being 32. Bruce took his place, but was out Lb.w. to Alloo without scoring, 153—4—0. McGirr was the incomer. A few minutes before 3 o’clock, play was stopped for ten minutes on account of a sharp shower. The wicket now favoured the batsmen, but the latter continued to treat the bowling, which did not appear difficult, with great respect. Heavy rain necessitated another adjournment of about three-quarters of an hour. Dempster reached his half century after 101 minutes’ play, the total being 195 and the second century appeared after 192 minutes’ play. At 217, Dempster’s fine innings closed, Knight, at second slip taking a brilliant one-handed catch, 217—5—59. Kortlang again resumed his innings, but with two added to the total. McGirr gave an easy chance to Douglas, the bowler, 219—6—35. Hutchings filled the vacancy, and the pair were together at five o’clock when heavy rain necessitated the drawing of stumps for the day.

M.C.C. V. AUCKLAND. ENGLISHMEN’S INNINGS VICTORY. FINAL MATCH OF TOUR. AUCKLAND, February’ 19. The English cricketers concluded their New Zealand tour with an unbeaten record by defeating Auckland by an innings and four runs. The failure of the Auckland batsmen was mainly attributable to the excellent bowling of Freeman and Gibson, on a batsman's wicket. Showers fell

at intervals, but the wicket was in good order and the outfield fast. Frater and Horspool opened to the bowling of Gibson and Calthorpe playing confidently, fifteen being scored off one over. The first wicket fell at 38 and 65 runs appeared for 50 minutes’ play. But at 71, Frater, who had played patiently, was caught. Then a rot set in, five wickets being down for 88. The Snedden-Anthony partnership carried the total to 98, when the latter was beaten by Gibson, Snedden following shortly after. Player compiled his 18 by steady cricket. The last man, Rountree, reached 36 by dashing play. In the second innings four wickets fell for one run, Freeman's googlies beating the batsman. With the. association of Player and Dacre, runs came slowly, mostly in singles and 35 appeared for 35 minutes’ play At 56 player, who had played patiently’, was clean bowled. Garrard joined Dacre and a period of slow cricket followed to the good length bowling of Gibson and Freeman. McLeod’s partner j chip with Anthony proved the best. The jpair by steady batting carried the score I from 80 to 120. Then the first change in I the bowling occurred. Gibson and Calthorpe eoing on. The former continued after six o’clock to finish. Anthony's 48 runs was the outcome of solid cricket and McLeod’s 50 runs were well compiled. M.C.M. First Innings .. .. 365.
