NOTES BY ROUNDABOUT. Geraldine races to-day. South Canterbury entries on Monday. N.Z. Cup weights due on Monday; On Mondfiy weights for D.J.C. fixture appear. Ranelagh is in work again doing light tasks. .. .. Meitui has rejoined C. Gicseler's team at Wingatui. Tourist, is being schooled over hurdles at Trenthani. Gowanlea is being selected as an early winner up north. Singleton is reported to be in great buckle at present. R. Covency will ride Malmsey in the Cup at Geraldine to-day. Mashoor is reported to be in fine shape for his A.R.C. engagements. Gala Day will be ridden by I. Tilson in the hurdle races at Geraldine. E. Shaw is to ride Oriflamb in the hurdle race at Geraldine on Saturday. A fancied N.Z. Cup candidate is the Wanganui-trained Count Palatine. Haze will have man}’ friends in his hurdle engagement at Geraldine to-day. Reports from Wingatui state that Salmo Salar is going on the right way. Antrim Boy has resumed work at Wingatui. He is big in condition. Royal Saxon is again in work at Wingatui. He looks well after his spell. Hawkes Bay Hunt Club made a profit of £-5 over its recent meeting. The taxes ran over £6OO. Claremore was a strong tip for his races at Avondale, but he failed to run up to expectations. A. Cox has decided to start the three-year-old trotter Tod Lonzia at the Methven Club’s meeting. Henry of Navarre is working well at Greenmeadows and is not likely to be neglected next time out. That fine trotter Tamerlane is again in work at New’ Brighton. He should be in fine order by November. Rin Tin Tin bears a robust appearance and has built up nicely since coming to Wingatui, says "Sentinel.” Caterpillar is commencing to show a more muscular appearance at Wingatui and is said to be looking in excellent health. , Solmar, the half-brother to Night March, continues to improve in appearance, says "Sentinel,” and is growing into a likely looking sort. * Merry Melody, a four-year-old by Catmint from Merry Roe, is being ticked off in the North Island as likely to win a hack race very soon. C. Eastwood is to pilot Semper Paratus and Weatherly in their races to-day. The latter is a three-year-old by Weathervane and is trained by R. C. Keeper at Orari. The Stonyhurst mare. Miss Mimic, by Sanquhar from Counterfeit, has foaled a colt to Winning Hit. Last year she had twins to the same sire, but both foals died. Admiral Bingen, who seems to do well without much work, is a regular attendant at Addington, but is rarely asked to go fast. This fast trotter only requires to improve in stamina to be in the first flight over two miles. The South Canterbury sportsman, Mr G. A. Kain* will leave this week for Sydney, where Inevitable and the three-year-old, Red Royal, are due to race. Inevitable has shown his ability to win under big weights, while Red Royal, by Rosenor, is a promising young horse with an engagement in the A.J.C. Derby. Rigadoon, a winner at Caulfield a week ago, is a three-year-old by Silverado, a Polyrnelus horse who did two seasons at the Kinloch Stud, Little River, going back to Australia at the beginning of this year. Rigadoon is trained by the ex-New Zealander, D. J. Price, who rates his charge as a stayer, so he may enter into calculations for the Victoria Derby. Mr J. S. Barrett’s Dame Straitlace, by Kilbroney from Discipline, and her daughter, Corsetiere, by Solferino, will be mated with Leader this season. Leader, a four-year-old by Chief Ruler from Formless, showed a lot of speed in his races last spring, but it was deemed advisable to retire him early in the autumn. He may resume training after a light stud season. The virtue of feeding thoroughbreds in their early years is proved in the case of Star Lap, from Mr James McNicol’s Waira»kau Estate, and now leased to trainer A. Cox. Handled only a few weeks ago this Sandstar filly is sprinting in fine style, and will be quite ready to race in the early summer. Maybe she will enter the lists at the Waikato spring meeting in November. Mr G. P. Payne was a visitor to Riccarton on Tuesday morning to see Spoon gallop and he must have been pleased with the work done by ,his filly, who is due to start her three-year-old racing at the Dunedin meeting next month, says the Christchurch Star. She is engaged in the open sprint event, the Electric Handicap, on the first day, following which she will run in the Dunedin Guineas. Mr W. H. Ballinger produced a rather attractive looking two-year-old at Ashburton on Saturday in the filly Flower by Arausio, says the Christchurch Times. She was the only one of her age in the Trial Plate, but no line could be obtained as to her capabilities by the race, as she dwelt , on the mark when the barrier went up, and when she did leave, she failed to steer a straight course until the field were well on their way. When Conjurer 11. won a hurdle race in Victoria recently, a good price was obtained about him. and his owner and friends are credited with having had good wins. The relative to Poitrel is owned by a Wellington hotelkeeper, who raced him without success in this country, but recently sent him to the land of his birth, fairly confident that he was on the improve and would not be long off the winning list. He is a great galloper on the tracks and ■’ should go far in hurdle races. Mr G. Kain last week received word from Sydney that Inevitable had been troubled with acute shoulder soreness, and had to be put out of active work for a few weeks. This will mean his missing a number of the spring meetings. The three-year-old, Red Royal, by Rosenor, was, however, faring very well, and track watchers at Randwick had marked him off for an important success. He is stated to be doing everything suggestive of mastering a journey, and was classed as a Derby possibility. Nominations for the New Zealand Trotting Cup close to-day at noon. The stake money is £4,000, and the race will be run in two divisions and a final the first four placed horses in each division to qualify for the final. In the event of an owner accepting for two horses, one . will be drawn in each division, and in the event

of an-owner accepting for three horses, one will be drawn in one division and two in the other division. The placed horses in each division will not, be rehandicapped for the final.

C. Emerson saddled up his first candidate as a trainer, when he produced the three-year-oid colt Standard Rose by Rosenor from The Kiss in the Trial Plate at Ashburton on Saturday. In spite of having only a few fast sprints prior to the fixture, the colt ran a solid race into third place, and showed a lot of determination in his finishing effort with the more experienced Bellbird.This was his first appearance in public, and an improvement on Saturday’s placing can soon be looked for.

At the sale of Mr C. G. Dalgety’s stud and horses in training, held in Christchurch at Easter, some mares with Silverado foals at foot attracted a good deal of notice. The foals were particularly good sorts, and undoubtedly helped to sell their dams at what still looked like bargain prices. Limelight, with a filly foal, went at 350 guineas; Starmist, with foal and served again, made 275 guineas; Spotlight, with colt and in foal again, made 425 guineas. This is recalled by the fact that Silverado recently had his first winner in Australia. Silverado was got by Polymelus—Silver Tag.

Arethusa’s decisive win at Ashburton on Saturday will still further consolidate her position as favourite for the New Zealand Derby, and up to. the present there does not appear one likely to beat her. There is still a good time to elapse before the running of the Derby in November and there is plenty of time for Arethusa to train off and for other promising youngsters to make big improvement. It is possible that a number will be seen out at the Geraldine Meeting this week and one of these will be Royal Chenault, one of the best, looking three-year-olds in commission and the makings of a good racehorse.

First Sight’s win in the Camellia Stakes on Saturday would be pleasing to New Zealanders. He is easily the best horse left by Gay Lad, but his slowness from the barrier will always be against him in the brilliant company he will meet in the Epsom Handicap, writes “The Watcher.” However, he beat many of his most dangerous rivals in that race over a furlong shorter in the Camellia Stakes in record time, and with a good passage at Randwick he is sure to be in the money. S. Davidson will probably ride First Sight in the Epsom Handicap and Paquito in the Metropolitan.

In view of the forward showing by Korokio in the Debutante Stakes at Wanganui, it is of interest to note that this smart filly belongs to a successful family with first-class representatives in New Zealand. His sire, Redfern, was a high-priced English importation who did not realize expectation. Her dam, Meriden, is by Challenge from Merry Widow, a Wallace mare, whose dam, La Cheville, is a halfsister to Aura, the dam of Aurous, Aurum, Auraria, Golden Knight and Golden Slipper, and the ancestress of Desert Gold and Nigger Minstrel. It is a great racing family, to which Korokio looks certain to bring more credit.

In commenting on Tuesday’s work at Wingatui, ''Sentinel” says: The weather was mild at Wingatui and horses with engagements at the Geraldine meeting were sent along in their work, which took place on the inside grass next to the plough track. Al Jolson and Dumblane ran over five furlongs in Itnin 12sec. Salmo Salar and Sailing Home covered the last five of six furlongs in Imin llsec, and Waving Corn travelled the same distance in Imin 10 2-5 sec. Rotorex and Genteel required 53 4-ssec lo cover half a mile. High Court cantered a circuit, and in company with Black Duke, galloped the last seven of eight furlongs in Imin 35sec. Black Duke seemed to be staying on best at the finish. Rin Tin Tin seemed to be finishing better than Caterpillar when concluding half a mile in 56sec, but neither was extended during the gallop. Wise Choice took 43sec to sprint over three furlongs. Assemble did a useful working task over about seven furlorfgs. Last March and Musn’t Miss sprinted three furlongs home in 40sec. Shipshape was schooled over two hurdles, and gave a good display. Pink Paper, Tippling, Academy, Ballance, Antrim Boy, Royal Saxon, Ossiman, Solmar, Bold Brigaqd, Exide, Meitui, Star Tractor, Hot Tea and a few others got through useful tasks. KUROW JOCKEY CLUB.

ANNUAL REPORT. The annual report of the Southland Tennis Association to be presented at the annual meeting on Friday evening is as follows:— In submitting the annual report the committee considers the past year to have been one of the most successful the association has experienced. The number of players in the province continues to increase and it is pleasing to note the general enthusiasm for the game and the improvement in the general standard of play in all grades. This keenness amongst all followers of the game amply repays the committee for any work it does in the interest of the game during the season. The committee made an especial effort to play matches against the sub-associations and these matches were particularly successful and appreciated by both town and country players. Club Matches: The various club competitions were again keenly contested and the committee congratulates the winners of the shields, viz., Invercargill A Grade, Southend B Grade, Winton the Baird Cup and Wednesday competition.

Financial: The association had a heavy year owing to the numerous visits of outside teams, but the committee considers all money spent in this direction in the best interests of the game. Conclusion: In conclusion the committee is confident that as the game of tennnis.is growing increasingly popular, especially in the country districts, the prospects are exceedingly bright. The committee thanks the clubs for the support afforded the association in the past, and trusts that one and all will render every assistance to place the association on a sound basis. On retiring from office the committee desires to express its appreciation of the support it has received during the past year and trusts the 1930-31 season will be as successful as the past season. ATHLETICS. MATAURA SOCIETY. (From Our Correspondent.) The annual meeting of the Mataura Athletic Society held on Monday night was attended by 15 members, Mr J. W. Aitken (president) presiding. The president in formally moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, (already published), expressed disappointment at there not being a bigger .muster of members. It seemed to be difficult to choose a night that did not clash with other functions, he said. The report spoke for itself and unfortunately the society had to postpone the sports and a loss of over £6O had resulted. It now rested with members to say whether the meeting should be gone on with and to devise ways and means to raise funds. Nearly half of the loss on the last sports was occasioned on the bushcraft events. The motion was seconded by Mr N. McLeod and carried. The question then arose whether the sports should be held. Mr C. D. McConnell moved that the society carry on. He had no doubt that ways and means could be found of supplementing the funds. This was seconded by Mr W. Leitch and carried.

Campolo, who accepted a guarantee of only 7500 dollars to meet the American, whose fee will be 100,000 dollars, has been training hard, attempting to improve his boxing, and observers declare him to be a much-improved fighter. It is understood that if Sharkey wins he will be matched with Stribling in Florida next February, but that a defeat will spell his virtual retirement from the ring. The American, who has been training lightly, has expressed h,is confidence in securing an easy win.

RIFLE SHOOTING INVERCARGILL DEFENCE CLUB. The Wednesday members of the Invercargill Defence Rifle Club fired a practice match yesterday afternoon, when 10 shots each were fired at 300 and 500 yards, and seven shots at 600 yards. The afternoon was fine and shooting conditions were good, consequently some good scoring resulted. At 300 yards T. E. McSporran topped the list with 46 as follows —5444555554. At 500 yards A. R. Wills was highest with 48 made as follows: —5555545554. At 600 yards Wills again topped with a fine 34 out of a possible 35, his card reading:— 55455555. The latter made top aggregate with 127 out of a possible 135. Following are the principal scores:—

On Saturday an other practice match will be fired at 300 and 500 yards, 10 shots at each.. INVERCARGILL MINIATURE CLUB. Last evening there was another good attendance of members of the Invercargill Rifle Club at the Drill Hall when the final round for the Wednesday Cup and trophy competition and the final of the championships were fired. The shooting was well up to the usual standard and several good scores were recorded. S. Wall put on a possible (80) all the shots being well in the bullseye. The following were some of the best scores off the rifle: S. Wall 80, G. Kelly 79, G. Smith 78, J. Morrison 77, W. Milley 77 and F. M. Acker 77. For the Cock o’ the Walk Shield S. Wall won with a possible off the rifle for this week. A. R. Wills won Dr. Ritchie Crawford’s Handicap Cup with 231 points for the three rounds. The following are some of the best scores, including handicaps, for the

Next Monday evening a one round trophy competition will be fired. THE WAKATIPU CLUB. GARSTON SECTION’S OPENING DAY. The Garston section of the Wakatipu Rifle Club held its opening day last Saturday on its range at Greenvale, over 40 riflemen taking part. Seven members of the Invercargill Defence Club and 12 members of the Queenstown section of the club, besides 22 Garston members, were present, and a very pleasant day was spent. The range is situated at Fairlight, and is well equipped with two swing targets. The weather was wet and cold, but the warmth of the hospitality extended to the visitors by the Garston men, who were assisted by several ladies of the district, made everyone forget the overhead conditions. The Garston section commenced shooting only last year, and it already has a number of prominent marksmen. Their enthusiasm is unbounded and with a little experience they will soon have a team to be reckoned with. The vice-president, Mr Kennett, and the secretary, Mr J. H. Gordon, had everything splendidly arranged and the shooting was got through in good time. At the conclusion of the shooting Major Mackenzie, of Queenstown, and the deputy-president of the Invercargill Club. Mr A. R. Wills, returned thanks on behalf of the visitors. The ranges fired were 300 and 500 yards, seven shots at each. Following are the scores:—

Prizes: Invercargill team £2 2/-; Queenstown A 14/-. These were returned to the club to buy trophies for coming season. Visitors’ highest: W. Diack 10/-, and 10/donated by Major Mackenzie;,A. R. Wills 10/-; Major Mackenzie 5/-. Local highest: J. P. McLeod 10/-, and 10/- donated by Major Mackenzie; I. G. Kerr 10/-; A. McLeod 5/-. E. D.
