Derby at Flemington this afternoon. Entries for the Gore Trotting Clubs Southland Juvenile Stakes of 1925 are due with Mr F. Young to-day. Songbird was sore at Trentham, and it is on the cards that he may not race at the NX Cup meeting. Despite her weight, the Southland mare Gold Light will have a strong following in the N.Z. Cup contest. There will be good money from Otago today for the Paper Money filly, Circulation, in Auckland Welcome Stakes to-day. The Melbourne Cup meeting opens today, and extends over Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday of the incoming week. Entries for the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s Spring meeting, on November 28 and 29, are due on Tuesday, November 4. Acceptances for the New Zealand Trotting Cup and minor races at the N.Z. Metropolitan T.C..’s Spring meeting are due on Tuesday. The New Zealand Trotting Cup will be decided on Tuesday, November 11, and the racing at Addington will continue on November 13 and 14. Inferno (8.10) is not to start in the Stewards’ Handicap, but his stablemate, Tukia (8.13) will command a very strong following next Saturday. It is understood that a desire was expressed to mate Glentruin with Paper Money (imp.), but the English home’s list was found to be full for the present season. Provided all has gone well with him since his great race in the A.J.C. Derby, Spearfelt will be a hot selection for the VJLC. Derby to be decided to-day. Tukia, Reremoana, Murihaupo, Lava and Rouex will have strong support when the CJ.C. Stewards’ Handicap is decided on New Zealand Cup day, next week. The W aim ate Racing Club and Banks’ Peninsula R.C. have each been recommended for an extra day’s racing, at a meeting of the Canterbury Jockey Club this week. As the result of a severe injury to one of her knees, the good pacing mare, Logan Lou had to be withdrawn from the NX Trotting Cup. She will be treated to a iccessary spell. It is reported that the crack sire Martian is displaying marked evidence of his weight of years. Mr Buchanan has mated some of his well-bred young matrons with the old stallion this season. It is stated that Nukumai, who ran a good race in accounting for the Waverley Cup and the gold trophy attached to the stakes, is to be turned out to await the autumn and winter campaigns. A number of good judges who witnessed the racing at Trentham are of the opinion that Count Cavour has very little chance in the N.Z. Cup in the face of form disclosed at the Wellington R.C. Spring fixture. However, the three-year-old has done all that has been asked of him lately in outstanding fashion, and no man can say where his merit ends. He has come through a searching preparation and should see the Riccarton race out well, provided that he can get the distance. As she is galloping well on the tracks, Dame Straitlace (second last year), and Count Cavour should prove a solid coupled [Jr of stablemates. The pair ar? trained by T. H. Gillett at Riccarton, and Mr J. S. Barrett’s mentor knows his business. A horse likely to be strongly supported on the day the New Zealand Cup is decided will be found in Tarleton (7.9) who has been working into good shape of late, to say nothing of carrying 9.0 into third place in the Champion Place at Trentham. The four-year-old son of Nassau-Brayton stays well, and his party must have been pleased when he ran Enthusiasm to a nose for second place in the Wellington weight-for-age event, with Gold Light winning comfortably a length ahead. The Nassau family invariably stay well, and this fact will prove an undoubted attraction in the case of Tarleton. The annual general meeting of the Wairio Jockey Club will be held in Wairio this (Saturday) evening, when a satisfactory annual report and balance-sheet will be placed before subscribers. Despite the fact that the stakes for the annual fixture were raised to £lOOO and a large amount of money expended on maintenance of the racecourse, the profit for the year worked out at £24 10/10, a very satisfactory result when it is remembered that many of the minor racing clubs of Maoriland lost heavily on the season. The total value of the Cub’s assets is now quoted at £938 6/2, with no liabilities. Gloaming’s engagements at Flemington to-day (Saturday) and throughout the VJLC.’s Spring meeting comprise: To-day, Spring Stakes (11m.) ; Melbourne Cup Day, November 4, public parade; Thursday, November 6, Linlithgow Stakes dim.) ; Saturday, November 8, C. B. Fisher Plate, (Um.). It is easy to imagine that there will be an enthusiastic reception for the Victorian-bred New Zealand-owned son of The Welkin and Light when he is paraded at Flemington on Tuesday next, to be seen by many dwellers in his native State for the first time. The death is announced of Mr J. Sharp, at one time one of the best-known sportsmen of the Western District. In turn he followed the occupation of a farmer in the Drummond and Oreti localities, until about seven years ago, when he retired to settle down in Invercargill. In bygone years Mr Sharp was a keen follower of the turf as a member and official of the W’inton J.C., Haddoa Buah Hack R,C Drummond Hack t '

R.C., and other turf institutions, while | from time to time he raced various homes with success. Amongst the gallopers and jumpers wholly or partly owned by the deceased sportsman were Zillah, Abo, S. Brigid (afterwards dam of that useful galloper Daringdale), Hairtrigger, St. Patrick, Jolly Friar, Warsaw (twice winner of the Invercargill Cup), and other leaser lights. For some years past the deceased took only a passing interest in racing, preferring to look on quietly from a distance, but in the days of his active participation in the sport his most successful trainers were James Lawson and A. McKenzie, the latter also riding winners for his patron across the flat and over fences.

It is understood that an application is being made for a racing permit on behalf of the Southland Trotting Club for a meeting to be held at the end of May or early in June, dates that will not appeal to owners or trainers and certainly not to the general pubile, as the period referred to is too late in the season for several good reasons. In the first place, the w r eather is not suitable as a rule for racing at the end of May or the following month, while the great majority of southern light harness horses are out of commission by this time. The Forbury Park T.C. Winter fixture is generally held during the first or second week in May, but, as this only attracts the most successful, promising or better class of the dying season’s performers, the prospects for a meeting in Invercargill at the end of May or later would not appear to be very bright. In any case, the trotting community of Southland cannot afford to have the prospects of the sport in this part of the world endangered by racing too late in the season, following on years of endeavour to obtain a permit for Invercargill, The light harness sport has to be considered first and foremost, quite apart from the desire of some supporters of the game to row in with the promoters of a Carnival week or any other organisation, but that is a phase of the question that can be dealt with later on.

During his recent visit to Wellington to see his horses gallop in public at Trentham, Mr W. T. Hazlett had the pleasure of inspecting the latest addition to his stud, in the shape of a colt foal by Paper Money from Illume, arid the fact is of interest to racing folk generally, as the dam of the youngster born at the Waikanae stud is another member of the celebrated Illuminata—Paraffin family. As her name implies, Illume is by Kilbroney—Simper, and therefore ranks as a half-sister to Gold Light and sister to Razzle Dazzle, Dazzling Light and Affectation. As Illume did very little racing, it will be interesting to note how her progeny fare on the racecourse in the days to come. Mr Hazlett, by the way, is now the possessor of the best collection of mares of the Illuminata family in Australia and New Zealand, if not in the world.

The Judicial Committee of the Gore Racing Club and the South Island stipendiary steward, Mr G. E. Curry, have to be complimented on the serious attention and prompt consideration they devoted to several pressing matters that arose in connection with the competition at the Eastern District meeting during the current week. Fines of a substantial nature were inflicted in connection w’ith breaches of the rules applying to both trotting and galloping events, and other drastic steps taken in regard to alleged inconsistent running, all of which met with the approval of patrons of the fixture who have the welfare of the light harness pastime and flat racing sport' at heart. For some considerable time past in this part of the world and elsewhere to the writer’s knowledge, honorary officials have been too much inclined to let matters drift by closing their eyes to abuses that threatened the welfare of horse-racing, but the steps taken at Gore this week will <n some measure remedy this reproach and at the same time encourage officialdom in other localities to be up and doing. The Gore stewards have set the pace, and it will be interesting to observe the effect of this example if occasion should arise at forthcoming fixtures of the newly-born season. The G.R.C. stewards and the N.Z. Racing Conference representative can rest assured that the public and all well-wishers of the turf in Southland fully appreciate their efforts to set the racing game on a higher plane.

H. Young, the well-known jockey, and W. Wairen w’ere both injured by an accident in the . st race, the Ashley Trot Handicap, at Rangiora on Monday last. Young’s mount, Sparkling Pronto, fell going round the bend soon after the start, and Bingenette, ridden by Warren, fell over her. Young sustained a broken collarbone, and a horse coming behind trod on Warren’s face, knocking out several of his front teeth and bruising his face very badly. Both riders were brought into the jockeys’ room and received medical attention. Warren was suffering slightly from concussion.

The proceedings in connection with the race for the Gore Cup on Monday last should furnish a strong argument in favour of horses trained in one stable or by the same trulner, irrespective of ownership, being coupled in races. In the Gore Cup Mantua was favourite, with Listening Post second in demand, Roseday third favourite, and Kerb fourth selection. In the actual race Kerb proved the winner, while her fancied stablemate, Roseday, was beaten off last in a field of six. Both Kerb and Roseday are t.'fined by D. R. Wilson, junr, at Wingatui, the former being owned by her trainer (Wilson), while Roseday is raced by Mr J. Richardson, of Dunedjn. The holders of over 1000 totalisator chances on Roseday took it badly when the latter’s stablemate, Kerb, who raced in the name of the trainer of both, and carried over 700 investments, won cleverly, while Roseday, one of the best handicap horses in Maoriland, finished well down the straight at the tail of the field. Had Roseday and Kerb been coupled on the machine, the public would have been more satisfied when the numbers went up. Some years ago the well-known pacing stallion Our Thorpe was placed at the disposal of breeders in the Eastern District, and the result is now being brought home to the southern racing public. Last season at the Gore R.C.’s Summer meeting Our Thorpe’s winning account in the south was opened when Ngareta won the Telegraph Handicap, saddle (one mile), and this run of success from a breeder’s point of view was continued during the current week when Homer scored in the Labour Day Trot, saddle (one mile and a-half), and Lou Thorpe won the Balfour Trot Handicap, saddle (one mile) at the Gore R.C.’s Spring meeting, both winners being daughters of. Our Thorpe. It will be observed that the three pacers referred to all won under saddle. The secretary of the Birchwood Hunt notifies that Mountain Rose has been penalised 61b in the Wallace Hack Handicap, and San Salvador 51b in the President’s Handicap at the Birchwood Hunt annual racing fixture on the Southland R.C.’s course on’ Wednesday next, November 5. Cant ar a, who is engaged in the Wallace Hack Handicap at the Birchwood Hunt meeting next week, is a well-named inmate of F. W. Ellis's stable. She is a daughter of Soldiers’ Chorus—Miss Glen, and “the cantara” is the bagpipes slogan calling the soldiers of a Highland glen to the wars. Loughrea was not entered for the New Zealand Cup, and is not engaged in the Metropolitan Handicap or other events dealt with by Mr J. E. Henrys. His only engagements at the C.J.C. Spring meeting are the weight-for-age events —the Stead Cup and Canterbury Cup. POVERTY BAY TURF CLUB. ACCEPTANCES FOR TO-DAY’S RACES.

OAMARU JOCKEY CLUB. CONSIDERATION OF FINANCIAL POSITION. OAMARU, October 31. At a largely attended special meeting of the Oamaru Jockey Club to-day, the financial position was discussed. The President pointed out that during the last two or three years the club had suffered a series of reverses. It had lost money at all but one meeting during the last two years, and, in spite of this fact, had to contribute large sums in taxation. In two years the total taxation amounted to over £lO,OOO. The club could not continue to pay taxation and carry on operations. It was pointed out that a circular dealing with the unfairness of the present taxation had been sent to all members of Parliament and racing clubs. After some discussion, in which members referred to the injustice of taxing clubs on their losses, the meeting was adjourned to await the decision of Parliament when the Finance Bill is under review.

SCHOOLS COMPETITION. ST. GEORGE WIN THE CUP. The 1924 primary school girls’ baseball rounders competition was decided on Thursday afternoon on Queen’s Park, when the St. George team played Waihopai. In a well contested. match, St. George girls, with 49 points beat the Waihopai girls whose score was 43 points, so for another year, the third in succession, St. George has the honour of holding the handsome cup donated by Mr W. E. Tait. The Waihopai girls have a very creditable record in baseball rounders, having been runners up for the cup for three years. ATHLETICS OTAUTAU SOCIETY. THIS YEAR’S SPORTS. The Otautau Athletic Society have decided to make the addition of a couple of amateur events to its programme again this year, should sufficient inducement offer. The Society have also under consideration a proposal to hold an evening sports meeting in about three weeks’ time, at which small stakes and trophies will be offered. The programme will consist of probably a 100yds handicap, 220yds handicap and 880yds handicap. The above, when

carried out, would be quite an incentive to quite a number of athletes and probable athletes to get into training, which, in turn, would have its good effects on oiir and other sports to be held in the future. Such sports meetings are but stepping stones to something bigger for many runners who would, perhaps, think themselves not good enough for the larger meetings. NEW ZEALAND UNION. ANNUAL CONFERENCE CONCLUDES. HASTINGS, October 31. The conference of the New Zealand Athletic and Cycling Union concluded last evening. The remits were for the most part machinery clauses affecting rules, which were either adopted or put through in an amended form.

The centre will hold the next conference in Dunedin during the exhibition.
