NOTES BY ROUNDABOUT. Racing at Geraldine on Thursday. Kurow J.C. acceptances close to-morrow. South Canterbury nominations on Monday. Handicaps for the N.Z. Cup are due next Monday. Linkman is continuing to please track watchers at Addington. Captain Wrack is reported to be working very well at Addington. That once brilliant mare Onyx is to be mated with Native King. Nominations for the N.Z. Trotting Cup close on Thursday next at noon. F. E. Loomb has started off the new season with a rush. He trained six winners at the Avondale meeting. The English trainer R. Young may make his debut on N.Z. tracks at Methven as several of his team have been nominated for that fixture. At a meeting of the V.R.C. committee on September 12, a jockey’s license was granted to L. J. Ellis and a permit to train was granted to F. W. Ellis. Latest Australian exchanges to hand show that Gay Crest is an acceptor in the Metropolitan Handicap. He was not included in the list telegraphed a fortnight ago. The ex-New Zealand horseman, N’. Trillo, had a fall at the Sandown Park meeting, Victoria, early this month. He was riding Conductress in a hurdle event when it fell and Trillo sustained a broken collarbone. The committee of the Victoria Racing Club has given notice that no permit to ride in races will be issued to any apprentice owning a motor car, and that any permit already issued to an apprentice owning a motor car will be reconsidered. “I am certainly not in favour of any reduction in stakes unless such a course is found to be absolutely necessary,” stated a member of the Wanganui Jockey Club when the relation of the stake money to the totalisator turnover was being discussed. “This is no time for panic measures,” he continued, ‘ and if economies can be effected in the way of reducing the ‘overhead’ cost of running the meetings there should be little need to reduce the stakes.” The Ellerslie trainer J. Williamson returned to Auckland on Tuesday last after a visit to Australia. With him was Mrs Williamson. They were married in Australia recently, and Mrs Williamson is making her first visit to New Zealand. Mr Williamson brought back Rafflight. Two days before he sailed for Auckland he sold Tremetus to a Sydney buyer. Rafflight started to grow on his arrival in Sydney, and at the end of two months had increased in height by half a hand.

King Colossus, who filled second place in the Debutante Stakes at Wanganui and won the Avondale Stakes on Saturday, is by Colossus from Queen Elizabeth, a Finland mare bred on speedy lines, her dam, Sonnette, being by Royal Fusilier from La Cloche, by St. Leger from Campania. This is the first of the progeny of - Colossus to race. He is an imported horse by Polymelius from Nation, by Sunder, one of the many speedy gallopers sired by Sundridge, who is best known in New Zealand through the stud'doings of his son. Absurd, whose sister, Jest, produced Chief Ruler, another great sire of speed.

Glare is doing well in his preparation for spring events, says the Melbourne Age of the 13th. Using the course proper at Caulfield yesterday the ex-New Zealander recorded the best gallop he has done since J. Truskett took charge of him. H. Morris let Glare bowl along for the first half mile, and running on strongly, a mile was left behind in lmin 44Jsec. Glare finished in a manner suggesting that any distance will be within his reach. When Glare, carrying Bst 11b, put up the Australasian record for eleven furlongs at Trentham (N.Z.) in March he beat Paquito (Sst 51b) by-three lengths. In the Melbourne Cup Glare has Sst 71b and Paquito has Sst 91b.

Sir Otto Niemeyer, when in Australia, does not seem to have been all the time engrossed in finding a way for the Commonwealth out of its financial troubles. “What did Sir Otto Niemeyer do in the spare time left to him after stressing the need of thrift and economy to the Australian people?” says the Sydney Sun. “The answer is that he went to the races and backed wrong ’uns. Before leaving for New Zealand he said that he had attended fixtures at Flemington (Vic.) and Victoria Park (S.A.). And his financial genius was astray. He showed us the right way to improve our national finances, but took the wrong one himself. ‘lf it’s of any interest to you I’ll admit that I lost a fair amount on each meeting,’ he said.”

The New Zealand jockey, F. McGovern, returned to Auckland by the Ulimaroa on Tuesday morning of last, week after a trip to Australia. He recently spent some time in India under engagement to Mr W. Coomber, one of the best known racing men in Ceylon. F. McGovern returned to New Zealand for the northern meeting and then went back to Sydney. However, he contracted malaria and has come back to Auckland for a holiday. He intends to return to India under engagement to some of the sportsmen there, as he firmly established himself on his last trip. Jockeys for India are engaged by the jockey clubs, and not by individual owners. His ambition seems to be to ride for some of the Indian princes, as many of them have very fine stables. J. T. Jamieson’s two charges, Hard Words and King March, were the mediums of some big wagers at Canterbury Park on Saturday of last week, but both came undone. Hard Words, 8.7, drew No. 17 at the barrier on the small turning track. He began very fast, and soon crossed to the rails. Another lightweight in King’s Arms went with him to the turn. Hard Words was still in front half way up the straight, when George Young, the ex-New Zealand rider who was associated with the champion Gloaming in almost all of his successes, brought Adrian’s March along to win by half a length from the New Zealander. This was Young’s first success since his return to the saddle. King March had 9.3 in the Three-year-old Handicap. He could not get near the rails, and finished in the ruck. It was a disappointing performance, but at the same time he was unlucky. He is reported amiss, and is an absentee from the track. EASTERN DISTRICT STABLES. TRAINERS BUSY. * (From Our Correspondent). Trainers in the Eastern District are now busy preparing horses under ,their care for the meetings ahead, and a good many horses are now in work. Operations have been somewhat hampered through the weather conditions of late and not much work has as yet been accomplished on the tracks. However, the weather shows signs of improving and work should proceed apace from now on. Owner-trainer J. G. Cruickshank is working the straight out trotter, Merce Bingen who performed successfully last season and promises to develop into a useful sort. The Nelson Bingen, mare is looking well and going along all right in her work. There have been enquiries from the north for this good marc which may eventuate in her shifting to new quarters in the near future. Mr Cruickshank is also preparing two half brothers to that good mare, Sunahower, one

being a three-year old by Cathedral Chimes, and the other a four-year old by Erin’s King. The dam of Sunshower was a Wallace L. mare out of Miss Kay. A big string of horses are sheltered in the establishment of Trainer T. G. Pollock whose stable earned a lot of well, deserved successes during last season. The four-yeax-old Palermo, who was wintered at his owner’s farm at Otikerama was brought in recently and is looking in excellent trim for the new season’s racing. During last season this good horse started 12 times and was in the money on 10 occasions.. In ail his starts last'season he was well produced and was a credit to the Gore mentor. A full brother to Palermo is also in Trainer Pollock’s hand. He is a well grown chestnut and on looks should develop into another good stake earner for his popular owner. The juvenile son of Solferino and Lady Pal has been broken in and is being educated and may be given a run at some period of the season. The chestnut mare Flying Binge (Chief Ruler —Cushla) was wintered well and is looking big and healthy and in good order for the racing season. With any luck this mare should do better this season than she did last season. A four-year old chestnut unnamed by Solferino —Pallas mare occupies a box in the establishment and is well grown and likely looking sort. The four-year-old chestnut mare, Spanish Maid by Balboa—Miss Signal has grown and filled out since last season and she may carry Pollock’s colours successfully during the season. Trainer Pollock is shortly expecting a further addition to his string of gallopers in a two-year-old representative of Night Raid. In the light harness division the stable shelters three representatives. A four-year-old black daughter of that good consistent mare, Dark Rosene by Lee Norris is being jogged about and if she displays any of her mother’s consistency and speed _ must' make a name for herself on the convincing circuit. Highland King, by Erin's KingWallace L. mare, is being worked and doing all right.- He ran successfully in the trotting races at Riverton last Easter. He is a big horse but very active and has a good future before him. The aged pacer Guy Fox by Harold Dillon—Rose Gauntlet, which is owner! by Trainer Pollock is another member of the team which is being prepared for racing later. Trainer J. Walsh is preparing the three tried pacers, Winning Wave by Waverley —Winson. Nelbar by Nelson Bingen—Barooga, and the four-year-old bay mare Medley by Wrack—Barooga. The trio are looking in excellent condition and should give a good account of themselves during the season. Medley is a good looking sort and started a couple of times during last season for a second at Wyndham. Walsh has also broken in and gaited a two-year-old gelding by Author Dillon—lvy Audubon which is a nice natural pacer. A couple of yearling colts have also been handled and had a little education in harness. One is by Nelson McElwyn from Barooga, and the other by Wrack from Ivy Audubon, so that they are a well bred pair. At his property, Charlton Road, Gore, D. Kerr has a number of gallopers and pacers in work, and he has the assistance of his son D. M. Kerr who became too heavy as a jockey. Of the gallopers, Battle Screen, by Solferino —Miss Camouflage is looking the most forward and the six-year-old gelding which cost a big sum as a yearling should earn some money this season. A three year-old black mare Girlie, by Anomaly out of a Balboa mare is ■ a promising looking sort, and another that has just been taken in.hand is a five yearold black mare by Remo. Of the pacers the five-year-old mare Celeste by Sungod —Red Empress is looking well and healthy and with any luck should help to put ■trainer Kerr’s name on the winning list during the season. The aged gelding Larsen by Erin’s King—Cross -Patch is also being prepared and is doing well in his work, while the same may be said of the five-year-old trotting mare by Guy Parrish from a Bon Homme mare. The last member of the team is a three-year-old chestnut filly’by Nelson Bingen out of the dam of that good horse, Mate O’Mine. On breeding this filly when she is properly matured should make a name for herself on the track. Mountain Dweller by Erin’s King—Lady Agnes, who was trained by D. Kerr during last season, and got a first and three seconds out of five starts, is now being prepared by H. G. Peart at Waimumu.

Trainer H. J. Eady has a large string of maiden performers at his Broughton Street property. A straight, out trotting mare by Capitalist out of a Blacksmith mare is a good looking sort and promising well. A four-year-old mare by Nelson Bingen out of a Bell Boy L. mare the dam of that good horse, Tarndale, should on breeding be heard of on the race track. A seven-year-old gelding by Erin's King out of the dam of Mate O’Mine is a likely looking sort. A four-year-old mare by Lord Derby—Sylvia Wood is of very nice quality and is the most forward of the team. A full brother f to Tarndale a five-year-old black gelding is a -very nice pacer which is being given easy work in the meantime. He resembles his brother very much. A recent arrival at the establishment, is a nice looking three-year-old chestnut filly by Erin’s King out of a Pallas mare, full sister to Erin’s Chimes. This- filly is just being broken in and on her dam’s side is related to that good old pacer, Honest Ned. Trainer J. R. McMurry is working a small team at present, particulars of which are not available yet.

At Riversdale, Trainor Eric Mitchell, who was located at Wyndham during last season, has a team of eight pacers in work for Mrs J. J. McMath, and with the help of his assistant the team is getting through useful tasks for the approaching meetings. Bay Admiral, by Waverley—Queen’s Drive, who won a couple of races last season is looking well and only needs to keep sound to add further laurels to his credit. The fiva-year-old Author’s Drive by Author Dillon —Logan’s Drive is a good looking sort and on breeding should help to bring the stable into prominence during the season. Two four-year-olds, one by Waverley —Pleasant Drive, and the other a full brother to Brain Wave, by Waverley are also doing well in their essays, as also is a five-year-old mare by' Waverley. Two full sisters to Fair Wave—(Waverley—Fair Lady) four and five years old respectively have just been broken in and both are promising sorts. Trainer D. Kelly at Riversdale is working Maungamoc and has broken the ice for the season by his success with the Balboa— Gienapp mare representative by winning at the Otago Hunt Meeting. Trainer Kelly is also handling a three-year-old full brother to Maungamoe and Tunamoe, a good looking sort. Tunamoe is sound, but has not yet fully recovered from the accident he met with at Timaru some time back. WYNDHAM TROTTING CLUB. ANNUAL REPORT. (From Our Correspondent.) The annual report of the Wyndham Trotting Club states:— Another very successful year has , been experienced, both from a racing and financial port of view. The cash balance for the year increased from £193 18/2 to £303 4/9, after spending the sum of £147 15/9 on new, track ®and loading bank, and adding to plant account a new sulky costing £25 10/-. Assets have increased from £1534 18/5 to £1732 5/3, this not taking into account expenditure on new' tracks ,etc. Although arrears outstanding shown under this heading seem large, these have been carefully gone through by the committee which, is instituting a thorough collection, and all are quite good. Increases in revenue are shown on gates, £352 8/- (£342 5/-) ; totalisator, £1314 3/11 (£1254 0/3) ; nominations and acceptances, £531 15/- (£516 16/5). The principle increase in expenditure were stakes, which rose from £I2OO to £1325, and new tracks, plant, etc., £173 5/9. Other running expensces were much on a par with previous years. The club has continued, in conjunction with the Racing Club, in spending/the totalisator rebate on permanent improvements. Recortl fields were started through the meeting; and, with the excellent track provided, exceptionally good racing was witnessed, and in practically every race very close finishes resulted. This has, no doubt, been brought about by the shorter limits provided by tighter class races, and improved handicapping methods, which is very’ pleasing from

the public point of view. The club has to record, with deepest sympathy, the removal by death of three of its valued members, Messsrs.A. C. Hutton-Potts, W. Tutty, and W. A. Allison. The latter was a valued member of the committee since the inception of the club, and gave valuable service both on the executive' and as a steward. The following nominations have been received for office-bearers: president, Mr Joseph Hunter; vice-presidents (4), Messrs W. J. Currie, George Hunter, W. McDonald, and D. Tither; committee (6), Messrs J. Woods, P. Jackson, F. Milne, E. J.Traynor, M. Tangney, G. Dickson, 0. Baird, A. G. Bain, and E. Frame. AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB. SPRING MEETING. CONCLUDING DAY’S RESULTS.

(Special to the Times.) Auckland, September 22. Heavy rain set in an hour before the first race at Avondale to-day and the attendance was considerably affected. The course was fair at the start, but soon cut up badly, being very heavy half-way through the programme. The totalisator handled £26,015, against £39,806, making £63,671 for the meeting, compared with £86,603, a deficit of £22,932. Make Up,-, carrying £9 less than the favourite, Taupiri, showed considerable improvement on recent showings and won the opening event comfortably. Daylight was

tl\e early leader, but Make Up- was always second or third and at five furlongs he run up to the pacemaker, Royal Visitor, Kamehameha, Taumai and Thursby following. Both Daylight and Make Up pecked at the last fence and the latter prevailed at the finish by a length. Royal Visitor finished well four lengths back and the next were Taumai, Kamehameha, Thursby (who nearly fell at the penultimate fence), Quincoma and Foxhound. W. Rowden rode a fine race on the winner, who will win more hurdle events.

The Baroscope—Princess Bede bracket paid all the dividend in the Nursery Handicap, for which it was a warm favourite. Baroscope led out and was always in front, but he was joined at the home turn by Ecila and Golden Sceptre, with Llanfylan, Type and Princess Bede following. In the run home Baroscope shook off the opposition and won by a length and a half. Princess Bede finished fast to beat Ecila by a neck for second money, and well back were Llanfylan, Herbie, Kingsway, Iluminelli, Golden Sceptre and Type. The winner is a good sort by Weathervane. Considering the fine race he ran in the open sprint the first day, Awamutu was at a roya'l price in the Mt. Albert Handicap. He attended Cruachan and Karapoti to the home turn, where Lady Court, Tetrarchate, Sulla and Foot Rule were handy. Once in line, Awamutu shot to the frsit and won very easily by a clear length from the outsider, Tetrarchate, who was tnree-parts of a length in front of Karapoti. Then followed Cruachan, Sulla, Land Measure, Crimestor, Foot Rule, Lucky Alice, Vanessa, Beau Irish and Chrysology. The Plumpton Handicap was not a race, for the good second favourite, Maori Boy, simply cleared out. He took charge at the end of two furlongs and thereafter the contest resolved itself into a case of follow the leader. Maori Boy was clear at the six furlongs from Silvermine, The Sun, Mendip, Panther and Paddon, with Eager Rose tailed off, having been interfered with. Then Seatown, a pronounced favourite, fell going out of the straight. Making the home turn The Sun, High Pitch and Silvermine were three lengths behind Maori Boy, with Mendip, Royal .Doulton and Nassock following. It was left to Silvermine to chase Maori Boy up the long straight, but he was a good two lengths behind at the post. .’Mendip was another three lengths away, with Paddon, Royal Doulton High Pitch, Nassock, The Sun and Panther next to arrive. The winner revelled in the mud.

Despite the conditions Cylinder was made a warm first fancy in the Guineas, carrying more than twice as much as Royal Ruler, Rosshire and Biddy’s Boy. The favourite was ridden a waiting race and in the end Gray landed him a winner. Biddy’s Boy tried to win all the way and nearly brought it off. He was clear turning for home, with Cylinder, Sub Editor, Protomint and Royal Ruler all handy. From this out'it was just a question if the favourite could overhaul Biddy’s Boy and, hard ridden with hands and heels, Cylinder got up near the poet to win by a neck. Lineage was five lengths away and Protomint, Royal Ruler, Rosshire, Sub Editor and Waimuri followed at intervals. Although Cylinder was not at home under the conditions, he shaped very well and his class pulled him through. Trainer F. Loomb led in his fifth winner of the meeting when Flying Prince captured the President’s Handicap. He and the favourite, Lucy Rose, tailed the field into the straight, the leading division there comprising Prince Vai, Awaken, Volimond, Nancy Lee and Te Atiawa. All the way up the running Flying Prince finished strongly to beat Awaken by a neck, Prince Vai being third three lengths away and Lucy Rose fourth. Volimond, Te Atiawa and Nancy Lee followed.'

Loomb supplied his sixth and last winner of the,meeting when Biddy Comet, claiming the apprentices’ allowance, led all the way in the New Lynn Handicap, for which she was a liberal third choice. Biddy Comet was clear at the home turn from Miss Albyn, Arch Eagle, Gay Cockade, Te Hoia, Claremore and Great Emblem and below the distance she extended the gap, finally winning by five lengths. Gay Cockade headed the favourite, Te Hoia, for the other dividend, and Miss Albyn, Arch Eaglet and Claremore headed the remainder. Grand Tea acted beet in the mud and won the Nihotapu Handicap easily, the favourites being badly routed. Lady’s Boy and Black Maire led across the top well clear of Valroe, Grand Tea, Envoy and Hannibal, with Prince of Orange last. Lady’s Boy had a big lead at the distance, but stopped quickly when Grand Tea collared him, the latter finally winning by nearly three lengths. Hannibal was four lengths away third, with Bennie, Valroe and Prince of Orange following.

The Rugby match played to-day between teams representing the Otago and Southland banks resulted in a win for the local side by 14 points to 6. In spite of the heavy nature of the ground a good open game was witnessed, the handling of the ball being surprisingly good. The scorers in the Otago team were Hannay, Booth and Kilby while Hannay also goaled from a free kick and Fitzgerald converted one try. Chapman and Henderson scored for Southland. The game ended: Otago 14, Southland 6.

AUCKLAND RACING CLUB. HANDICAPS FOR SPRING MEETING. (Pct United Press Association.) Auckland, September 22. The following handicaps have beeii declared for the first day of the Auckland Racing Club’s Spring meeting:— TRIAL HURDLE RACE HANDICAP, £4OO. One and three-quarter miles.

METHVEN TROTTING CLUB. HANDICAPS FOR ANNUAL MEETING. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, September 22. The following handicaps have been declared for the annual meeting of the Methven Trotting Club:—

JOCKEY HANDS IN LICENSE. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, September 22. On the advice of the chief stipendiary steward (Mr A. Wilson) the jockey, C. ,L. Lewis, who rode Supremacy (second to Awarere) in the Flying Stakes at Avondale on Saturday, has handed in his license. CRICKET APPLEBY CLUB. ANNUAL MEETING. The first of the local cricket club annual meetings was held last evening, Appleby Club, joint winners (with I.C.C. A) of the senior championship last season, leading the way with a successful meeting in Everybody’s Hall. Mr T. G. Groves presided over a good attendance of members. Before proceeding with the ordinary business, reference was made to the loss sustained by the club in the death of Mr I. Stewart, a late vice-president of the club, and it was decided to forward a letter of sympathy to deceased’s relatives. The annual report stated: —The club had a very successful season and enjoyed many excellent matches during the competition, the final match with I.C.C. A in particular deserving special mention. This match resulted in a tie for the championship, the shield being held by each club for six months. The second eleven, through lack of support, did not begin the season very well but towards the end of the competition forged ahead by leaps and bounds and gave the leading teams some hard struggles. Owing to insufficient support being accorded the third grade the club did not field a team in this competition. The committee hopes that every grade will be represented during the coming season. A large number of the younger players showed considerable promise last year and the prospects for the future are very bright. Congratulations are extended to A. V. Keast, G. Johnstone, 11. Sherriffs and W. Carson who gained their representative caps during the season. The club lost the services of a fine cricketer when H. Sherriffs was transferred to Napier. The committee is pleased to report that the financial position of the club is on a much sounder, footing than last year. This is mainly owing to a request to the council regarding the rebate in the cost of cutting the grass on the club’s ground having been granted. Thanks are due to Mr McPherson, Superintendent of Reserves, in regard to this matter. The balance-sheet showed a credit balance of £l4.

In moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, the chairman congratulated the club on its successful season and the senior eleven on annexing the championship. ■He appealed to members to secure more juniors and trusted that the club would be able to field three teams this season.

The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. The election of office-bearers resulted as follows: Patron, Mr A. Derbie; president, Mr T. Battersby; vice-presidents, Messrs J. Mehaffey, W.

It was resolved to invite two of the most promising cricketers from the South and St. George schools to free membership for one season. The question of the possible elevation of certain junior clubs to senior status this season was raised, and it was decided ■to instruct the club’s delegates to support the entry of the High School and Marist Clubs to the senior competition if necessary. The delegates were also instructed to protest against.' the treatment meted out to visiting clubs by clubs using the showgrounds last season. It was claimed .that very unsatisfactory service had been given on the showgrounds by the clubs housed there, the preparation of wickets in particular leaving much to be desired. INVERCARGILL CLUB. 69th ANNUAL REPORT. The 69th annual report of the Invercargill Cricket Club state.?:. The club again experienced an enjoyable season during 1929-30 and was enabled to place two teams in the senior'grade and one each in the second and third grade competitions of the Southland Cricket Association. The senior

A eleven performed consistently and in the final played off with Appleby for the championship. As the result of this match, Appleby and' I.C.C. A became joint holders of the shield for last season. The senior B team and the teams in the second and third grado also played good cricket, although not successful in winning their grade. Several of the members of bbth senior and second grades of the club represented their province during the season with credit to themselves and to the club, and the' club congratulated them on their success. During the season the club was unfortunate in losing the services of Messrs Hammond, Cook and Cox, and lately of T. R. Abercrombie, all of these members having been transferred to other centres. While the loss of these players has been a serious blow to the club, the committee is pleased to congratulate them on the promotion they have received and wish them all the best of luck. It ie with deep regret that the committee has to record the passing of the late Mr J., H. Gilbertson, who not very many years ago was one of the strongest supporters and a playing member of the club. The executive took the opportunity of extending to his relatives the sympathy of the culb members. At the commencement of the season the club was faced with a liability outstanding for material, but this has been turned into a credit balance to commence the incoming season. The executive draws the attention of members to the fact that, the incoming season is the 70th year of the club’s existence, and appeals to them to assist in marking the' occasion by making it the most successful year the club has experienced.
