The stake winnings of Christchurch horse Night March now amount to £25,148 odd.

New Zealand-bred Phar Lap has secured £25,881 in stake money for IL R. 1 elford.

When Phar Lap won a w.f.a. race at Randwick recently his tote backers got 4/0 .for 5/- tickets.

Costing 575 guineas as a yearling, New Zealand-bred youngster, Veilmond, has won £5,530 in stakes.

Disappointing Semper Paratus may be found displaying some improvement at Amberley races to-morrow.

Several two-year-olds are expected to race in the Amberley Racing Club Novice Stakes (five furlongs) to-morrow.

During the past w'eek a number of lo-cally-trained novices have been schooling well at the starting-barrier.

For the first two days of the recent A.J.C. Autumn meeting the jockey, J. Simpson, earned £246 17/- in riding fees.

The steeplechaser Night has finished his racing career has been sent home to do duty on his owner’s property.

Recent racing returns from Western Australia show that Otago jockey, C. Dawson, is still riding for C. Christie’s stable.

When recently placed third in a race at Victoria Park, Sydney, ex-Invercargill pony, Little Queen, was at a very lengthly price.

While J. Munro was making good in Germany, younger brother, D. Munro, was winning the Doncaster in Sydney on Venetian Lady.

Two-year-old Tom Pinch is the first and only representative of The Wooden Horse (imp.) to race in Australia up to the present.

Speedy little galloper, Rin Tin Tin, is evidently still on deck, as he has been engaged at the Southland R.C. Winter meeting.

The Onkaparinga Easter Steeplechase £2OOO (3jm.) in S.A. on Easter Monday was won by Woomera, a Victorian jumper by Eaton Lad (imp.)

An American writer says that the A.J.C. subsidises Melbourne Cup to the extent of 50,000 dollars; he is overlooking the Victoria Racing Club.

Maorilander Star God was first fancy for the Sydney Cup to the barrier rise, with Gwillian G. (winner) and Donald second in demand.

In February as much as 3300 to 1 was offered against the winning combination, Venetian Lady and Gwillian G., by a Melbourne licensed bookmaker.

Trotting mentor J. J. Kennerleys son, Edgar Kennerley, has gone to Auckland province to act as a private trainer at the centre of Matamata.

The original cost of big Sydney winners readsGwillian G., 65gns., Venetian Lady 95gns., Phar Lap IGOgns., and The Doctors Orders 300 guineas.

New Zealand-owned hurdler. Royal Elm may race at Tattersail’s Club meeting in Sydney to-morrow for Messrs. J. McCarten and J. M. Cameron (trainer).

Gr.eat Northern St. Leger winner, Don Quixote, by Paladin, and Sir Roy, by Clarenceux, a' recent scorer in Australia, arc both sons of the matron Hornbeam.

Invercargill Cup winner, Glare, was only started once at the Australian J.C. Easter meeting and was then sent on to his new home in Victoria’s, capital.

Chide is still at his trainer’s stables in Sydney and doing well, but he may be turned prior to embarking on a preparation for spring meetings.

On the first and second days of the recent Australian Jockey Club’s Autumn meeting the riding fees of the visiting New Zealand horseman, R. Reed, totalled £9O.

Phar Lap joins the select band of three-year-olds who have won the A.J.C. and V.R.C. Derbies and St. Legers. Navigator was the first to do the trick in 1882 1883.

It is expected in the North Island that Ruanui will be a starter likely to take beating at the forthcoming Wanganui J.C. and Otaki Maori Racing Club's meetings.

The Wanganui Jockey Club will play the part of hosts, during their Winter fixture, to the British touring Rugby football team, who arrive in Wanganui on Friday, May 16.

The Central Otago area ami the Cromwell district in particular has suffered a serious loss in the death of Dr. Thomas Harrison, well-known on the turf at one time as the owner of Arrowmir. .

Four years ago Nukumai, with 11.13 in the saddle, won the Egmont Steeplechase, his first success over the big country. For the same event next week he is asked to carry 11.5, which is topweight.

At the Spring meeting of the Wanganui Jockey Club last September Laughing Prince won a good race each day, then he went amiss. Should be stand up, he will return to the track at the W..J.C. Winter meeting.

(Riccarton trainer E. Scoullar has lost a promising pupil in the four-year-old gelding Argyle, by Royal Mac—Dolly Hamilton. The promising hurdler died as the result of bursting a blood vessel.

It is reported that Riccarton trainer A. McAulay will leave Sydney to-day for New Zealand in charge of Night March and True Shaft, Amor having been disposed of to a N.S.W. buyer.

Latest reports from the West Coast are to the effect that the lightweight horseman, Ri Coveny, who was injured when Quarterdeck fell with him at Greymouth, is making satisfactory progress.

A foal by Grand Knight (reports Christchurch Press), probably the first of his progeny to land in the South Island, arrived by the ferry on Wednesday morning. The foal is out of Sprig of Erin, and is going forward to Mr. W. T. Hazlett," Invercargill.

The well-known pacer, Concliff, has been fired, and as a result will be an absentee from Maoriland tracks for some time to come. The Australian-bred pacer has been a disappointment to W. J. Tomkinson’s Addington establishment for some time past.

The four-year-old gelding Gay Crest has been eased up (reports Christchurch Star)', and he will have a rest for a few weeks. The Australian-bred gelding has proved a great bargain to Dr. M. G. Louisson. His win in the Great Autumn Handicap established his reputation as a stayer and now he looks a likely sort for the New Zealand. Cup.

Nominated for the Puma Hack Handicap arid, the l Farewell Hack Handicap at the Wanganui meeting (remarks the Chronicle), is a Gasbag—-Martina gelding. This chap is better known as Auctioneer, and it would not be surprising to find him figuring among the stake-winners at the fixture.

Ahuriri (Cathedral Chimes—Muriata) > : b-en definitely retired from racing (re-

ports Christchurch Press), and he is to do stud duty at Oakhampton Lodge next season. J. Bryce has two other stallions in Matchlight and Four Chimes, but,, as they carry the same blood as Ahuriri, they are to be leased to other studmasters.

The New South Wal?s breeder, Mr. H. ■White, has parted with very few of his Tippler (Polymelus—Sippet, by Swynford) stock in the last two seasons, but he has sold two good classic winners, Toper, a good winner, and The .Doctor’s Orders, who captured the richest of Australia’s two-year-old classics, the A.J.C. Sire’s Produce Stakes.

Glare’s sire, Australian Sun had a good winner at the Western Australian Turf Club’s Easter fixture, in Shining Colours, who accounted for the Sire’s Produce Stakes. Picked up for 150gns. at the Melbourne yearling sales last season, Shining Colours is out of Mauve, an English-bred mare. -

Christchurch Press light harness scribe has a good word to say for a youthful pacer; —“On his running at Ashburton J.C. meeting on Saturday, the Travis Axworthy colt, Red Shadow, has become actual favourite for the New Zealand Sapling Stakes, to be decided at Ashburton next month. He is a fine pacer, one of the best two-year-olds ever trained by J. Bryce.” This is high praise, indeed.

The handicappers are taking no risks with Strephon in England. As before mentioned (says the. Sydney Referee), he has been allotted top weight, 9.0, in the Kempton Park Jubilee Handicap. For the Goodwood Cup (2 miles 5 furlongs) he has been given 9.7. Old Orkney (one of the best stayers in England last, year in handicap company) has top weight, 10.0. Bosworth (regarded as the best stayer among the now tour-year-olds) has 9.3. Trigo’s brother, Athford, has the same weight as Strephon. Brown Jack (another fine stayer) 9.7, Palais Royal 9.7 and Kopi 9.10. Kopi won the Irish Derby and it was thought by many that he would have won the great race’ at Ascot, if he had not. fallen when going like a winner. The Goodwood Cup is run on July 31, after the Ascot Cup.

A lot of interest (remarks Christchurch Press) is being taken in the attempt that is to be made by Mr E. C. Hudson's two-year-old trotter by Lorene’s Todd at the Forbury Park meeting next, week to establish a record of better than 2.20 for a mile. The general opinion is that, given fine weather and a fast track, a record will be established, for the colt some time ago trotted a mile in 2.22 and has progressed a good deal since then. A. Cox, his trainer, has not given the youngster a searching trial, but he has driven him several times in 2.25 and 2.2 G some distance from the rails, and better time could have been accomplished. Unless other arrangements are made the young trotter will leave for Dunedin on Wednesday next, but it is thought that if he is sent, a day earlier he will have a better opportunity of becoming accustomed to the small track at Forbury Park. Mr H. W. Kitchingham, a member of the New Zealand Trotting Association, will suggest to the Forbury Park Trotting Club that a moving picture should be taken of the colt in his record-breaking attempt, for, if successful, it will be one of the most notable events in the history of New Zealand trotting.

In commenting on the opening day of the recent A.J.C. Easter fixture at Randwick Sydney Referee l has a good word to say for a New Zealand family of stud matrons, as follows; —“A feature of the racing at Randwick on Saturday was the success of horses bred from Martian mares. Three of the richest prizes of the afternoon went to members of the Martian family. Night March, who is by Night Raid (imp.) from Marsa, by Martian, narrowly downed Amounts in a thrilling finish for the Autumn Stakes. Then The Doctor’s Orders (Tippler —Neirene, by Martian) surprised by beating Veilmond in the Sires’ Produce Stakes. A convincing success then came to Phar Lap in the St. Leger Stakes and it will be noted that the classic winner is by Night Raid (imp.) from Entreaty, by Martian.

The Sydney jockey, J. Munro, made a successful debut in Germany. In his first dav’s ridintr abroad he won three races. When his brother, D. Munro, rode Venetian Lady to victory in the Doncaster Handicap on Easter Saturday, his mother sent a cablegram to the elder brother notifying him ot the success, and the reply received read, “Congratulations to Darby. Won treble first day.” The news of J. Munro s auspicious start abroad, although not surprising, will be pleasing to the many sportsmen who predicted a great career for him in other countries when they heard of the tempting offer he had received from Baron Oppenheim (says a Sydney writer). A number of Australian jockeys made a name for themselves abroad, but none left these shores witfi better credentials than Munro, who has long been recognized as one. of the most accomplished Australian riders over all distances. Munro only left Australia at the beginning of the yea’ and he arrived in Germany about the end of February. Baron Oppenheim, w r ho has first call on his services, invariable has a big team, among them some of the best horses in Germany, Io carry his colours, and Munro seems assured of a very profitable season; The Victorian jockey, W. Scanlon, who left Australia by the same boat as Munro, also made a good start in France, where he rode two winners shortly after his arrival. Mr S. Green, who sent Strephon—known in England as Strephon IL—across for the Ascot Gold Cup, is anxious for Munro to ride the horse in that race, and if Munro is released for the time by Baron Oppenheim, he will probably make the trip from Germany by aeroplane.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A MARK?

MR 11. HARRIS’ VIEWS

(Special to the Times.)

Dunedin, May 1

Mr H. Harris, president of the Otago Rugby Union, and manager of the Maori team which went to France and England in 1926-J7, does not agree with the decision arrived at by the management committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union at its meeting on Wednesday night in regard to what constitutes a mark.

The management committee decided that “a fair catch can only be allowed when the layer claiming it has both feet on the ground, and claims the catch by making a heel mark.” Mr Harris says that when the Maoris were playing in England and a player jumped in the air, caught the ball and made a mark with his heel immediately he landed on the ground again, the mark was allowed. It seemed to him like splitting straws for the management committee to rule as it had.

The rule on the point reads as follows: “A fair catch is a catch made direct from a kick, knock on or throw forward by one of the opposing side. The catcher must immediately claim the same by making a mark with his heel at the spot where he made the catch.”

ATHLETICS.

A SUB-CENTRE’S FEES. Palmejston North, May 1. An extraordinary position was revealed with regard to the paying of fees by the sub-centre of the Wellington centre of the New Zealand A.A.A. and was discussed at a meeting of the Manawatu sub-centre this evening. The original sub-centre was formed in Wairarapa and fixed the centre fees at £1 1/- per club registered, Manawatu, when formed nine years ago, following on the same basis. However, with the coming into being of the Hawkes Bay sub-centre, this body’s subscriptions stipulated a total fee of £3 3/-.

The position was that the Hawkes Bay body, with 22 clubs under its jurisdiction, paid £3 3/- while the Manawatu body, with 16 clubs, was forwarding £l6 16/- with Wairarapa on a corresponding basis. It was contended as ridiculous that the parent body should have laid down no definite

charges, and in face of the unsatisfactory position, it was resolved that the subcentre pay a total of £3 3/- affiliation fees.

CRICKET. THE REDPATH CUP. AWARDED TO C. S. DEMPSTER. Christchurch, May 1. The Redpath Cup, awarded annually to the batsman with the best record in representative and test matches, has this year been awarded to C. S. Dempster who also won the cup for the 1927-1928 season. Dempster played ten innings, eight against the M.C.C. team and with four not outs, averaged 93.66 runs per innings. His highest score was 141 not out and his aggregate in representative cricket 562 runs. NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION. Christchurch, May 1. At a meeting of the management committee of the New Zealand Cricket Association to-night, the committee endorsed the chairman’s ruling that C. S. Dempster’s appointment as professional coach to the Wellington Cricket Association would not affect his eligibility for the New Zealand team to tour England. Mr D. E. Wanklyn, hon. treasurer, reported that he had received advice that the New South Wales Government had agreed to remit their share of the taxation charged on receipts in the M.C.C. match in Sydney. The Federal authorities were still considering the matter. The total taxation levied was £3Bl and approximately half comprised the New South Wales share. CHOPPING. NEW ZEALAND 15 INCH TITLE. New Plymouth, May 1. | The New Zealand championship 15 inch I chop was won at the Waitui sports to-day ’■by C. Neame (West Coast). The North Island 12 inch championship chop was won by L.
