Cough presented a bright appearance when inspected on ’the track on Saturday morning. She appears to have got over her sea trip.

Private advice has been received from the north .that Mr W. T. Hazlett's mare Razzle Dazzle, by Kilbroney—Simper, has produced a filly foal to Chief Ruler.

Bookings to TrumSn Direct include Erin’s Logan, Molly Pointer, a mare byWildwood Junior —Jessie B, a Great Audubon—Maelstrom mare, Cole Bess, and Lutine Bells.

Amongst the mares booked to visit Peterwah this season are the dam of Dundas Boy and a Wildwood Junior—JennyLind mare from Blenheim, besides Sallywood and a mare by Brent Locanda.

Supremacy is reported from Te Awamutu to be looking a much improved horse as the result of his two races since returning to work. His next outing will probably be in the Feilding States.

Country King seems to be coming on fast again judged by the manner in which he gets through his training work, says the Christchurch Star. Country King raced well at the close of last season.

Lorette, in E. Scoullar’s Riccarton stable, displayed ability to gallop fast in the Maiden Plate at Timaru yesterday, but she ran out wide at the turn for home when in fourth place, and petered out of the contest.

The Geraldine Racing Club made a profit of £l7O over the meeting which was held last month, a very satisfactory result at present, when many clubs find it difficult to balance their accounts at the end of a meeting.

Mr A. Chisholm’s English bred mare Spean Bridge, by Rich. Mor—Annie Laurie, has produced a brown filly foal to Woodend. With such a combination of English blood, the filly’s career will be followed with more than ordinary interest.

Kaikahu has been disposed of by Mr W. F. Parkinson to a patron of A. E. Wormaid's stable. The old gelding is to be hacked about for Ihe summer and then put into work before the next winter season.

Wah, trotting in fine style at Addington on Thursday, worked two miles, racing at a good speed over the last half-mile. The Peterwah trotter is settling down to his work and going much more solidly than formerly.

Night March and True Shaft were trotted " round on the sand at Ellerslie on Wednesday morning. Night March appeared to be in great order after his recent trip to Sydney, and promises to strip a very fit horse for the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Spring meeting.

The Caravel —Courante filly, and the gelding by Valais that M. Poulson sent over from Sydney to S. J. Reed several months ago, will return by this week’s steamer. They have been spelled in Hawkes Bay, and have done splendidly on the fresh pastures at Te Mahunga.

The three-year-old Royal Sceptre, by Rosenor from Bonny Olive, had to be .eased up in his work some time ago, but C. Emerson has him moving along again in useful tasks. He is backward at present, but later in the .season he may develop into a useful performer.

The yearling colt by Grandcourt from the Finland mare First Blow, owned by Mr T. H. Lowry, of Hawkes Bay, is stated to be a very fine youngster. First Blow is the dam of Gascony and Second Wind, and, with such well-performed relatives, the colt’s future will be watched with interest. Gascony is now at the stud, and has almost a full book for the season.

Refresher, surprise winner of the Flying Handicap at the recent Auckland Meeting, has gone on the right way since at Takanini, and as he won on three occasions last season over seven furlongs there is no reason for supposing that he will find the mile of the Wainui Handicap too far if brought to Trentham next week.

In “added money’’ and sweepstakes Tregilla’s owner had £6,893 to collect over his A.J.C. Derby win. As he is said to have put' great confidence in his horse’s chance and plenty of double-figure odds was available against, him on the day, it is more than likely he landed a fair parcel of betting money also. Bartle’s riding fee was £343 3/-.

In connection with second-day events of the A.J.C. meeting the winner’s cheque for the. Metropolitan Handicap which went to Melbourne-owned Cragford, was calculated at £5,171, the rider’s fee being £257 1/-. Then as the result of the “Flaxmere” bred Lord Quex gelding Movie Star winning the Breeders’ Plate on the same day a cheque for £1,783 became due to his lucky purchaser, Mr H. J. Stanbridge.

E. Scoullar will make a trip to Trentharu this week with Mr W. T. Hazlett’s two-year-old Irish Chieftain, by Chief Ruler from Sprig of Erin, and Chief Light, by Chief Ruler from Illume. These promising juveniles were taken south for the Dunedin meeting, but they were not raced on account of the heavy track. They are a good-looking pair, who gallop very attractively. .

Dry Area provided some excitement in the Otaio Hurdles at Timaru, showing his customary dash. He led to the first hurdle, which he hit hard. His rider, J. Kerr (a son of D. Kerr, the Gore mentor) was hanging down from the horse’s neck,

but eventually made a miraculous recovery. He well deserved the round of applause which greeted him when he passed the stand in a good position. After lasting with the leaders for seven furlongs he faded out quickly.

Commendation’s half brother, Esteem by Pombal from Eulogy, made his first public appearance in the Nursery Handicap at Masterton on Saturday and ridden by H. Gray proved a winner. The relationship is very close, as Pombal and Limond (sire of Commendation) are half brothers themselves. Esteem was bred at the Koatanui Stud and was purchased by Commendation’s owner, Mr W. H. Gaisford, of Dannevirke, at the last Trentham sales for 575 guineas.

Hula Belle, who ran third in the McLean Stakes at Dunedin, and second to Last March in the Dominion Handicap, is an Australian-bred filly by Beau Fils (by Son-in-Law) from Maxwellton, by Sir Dighton from Annie Laurie, by Charlemagne 11., and cost 130gns as a yearling at the last Easter sales in Sydney. She is a close relation to Scotch Artillery, who won the Sydney Cup, two miles, in 1915, for her grahd-dam was a half-sister to that horse, by Royal Artillery. Hula Belle comes from the same family as lolaire, who was a good performer in Australia some years ago.

Logan Park started about three lengths in front of Captain Wrack and Apex, with Vendome and Free Advice just behinl in a workout at Addington on Thursday, says the Christchurch Star. In the first furlong Free Advice made a slight mistake and dropped back. At the end of a round there was no change in the order, but half a mile from home Vendome commenced to move up. She raced in front when the straight was reached and in a fine finish home the four were almost in line with Free Advice about four lengths back. The last mile was done at a good speed and all the pacers went in their best style. It was a capital piece of work. In the Pombal colt, Monastic, the Reefton owner, Miss M. C. Wilson, has a promising two-year-old. He is a smart beginner, and evidently knows how to gallop, says the Christchurch Press. He will probably have his next race at the North Canterbury Meeting, and will remain at Riccarton for the New Zealand Cup gathering. Miss Wilson was also represented at Timaru by the six-year-old gelding Taku Tama, by Quin Abbey, who was amongst the unplaced division in the Flying Handicap. He was recently taken over from the northern owner-trainer, R. Hannon, in exchange for the disappointing Tuku. Second Wind, who in the absence of Amounis, proved ccfual to winning the Herbert Power Stakes, is a local production, says the Hawkes Bay Tribune. He was bred by Mr T. H. Lowry at Okawa, and is : a five-year-old gelding returned in the Stud | Book as being by Psychology or Grandcourt from the Finland mare War Talk, dam also of Gascony, by King John. He races in the colours of the Westralian sportsman Mr E. Lee Starr, for whom he proved a good winner as a three-year-old, his victories including the Westralian Derby. He has also raceil with fair success since, and was thought good enough to back heavily for the last Melbourne Cup, but did not fulfil expectations. SOUTH CANTERBURY JOCKEY CLUB. SPRING MEETING CONCLUDES. MAIN EVENT TO RANELAGH. INCREASED TOTALISATOR RETURNS. (Per United Press Association.) Timaru, October 19.

GREATEST EFFORT OF BRILLIANT CAREER.

NOW RECORD STAKE-EARNER.

(United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Melbourne, October 18. There was delightful weather for the races and although the attendance was good, it was below that of previous years. Vanto was always nicely placed and won the Oby Hurdle race nicely. He was ridden by that versatile jockey, J. Winks. Gallantic was third early and won the Gwyn Nursery narrowly. He is trained by J. Holt and cost two hundred guineas as a yearling. His owner, Mr C. B. Kellow, also races Bold Bid. The latter cost 1,200 guineas. Vauntrim was always handy and won the Wyuna Steeplechase comfortably. His owner, Mr F, J. Ryan, won the corresponding event two years ago with Woomera. Amounis’ remarkable win in the Caulfield Cup Is the greatest performance of a brilliant career. He had the best reception ever given a horse in Victoria. He has now won £48,150 in stakes, which is a record for Australia and New Zealand.

TATTERSALL’S CLUB RACES

SPEARMAN LEADING WINNER.

NEW ZEALANDERS UNPLACED.

EX-MAORILAND RIDER SUSPENDED.

(United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Sydney, October 18. Tattersall’s Club races were held at Randwick Jn fine weather with an attendance of 30,000. The hurdle race won by Clear Flight provided a sensation. The crowd wanted Drake to win and he actually had the race well in hand, but his rider, O. Cullum, was over confident in the straight, took things too easy and was beaten by a long head. Then followed prolonged hooting. The stewards inquired into the running and suspended Cullum for three months for careless riding.

The chief results were: — FLYING HANDICAP, £5OO added. Six furlongs. R. Walder’s br c Pentheus, by Rossen-dale-Clerica, 4yrs, 8.2 (W. Johnstone) '' A.

Speaking at a meeting of the Wellington Provincial Yachting and Motor Boat Association, Mr J.

EDWARDS’ DISQUALIFICATION. “MISAPPREHENSION ON MY PART.” Wellington, October 18. “I don’t want to go away from this country leaving a bad impression,” said the wrestler, Billy Edwards. “I arn very much disturbed at the impression created through my disqualification the other evening. The whole business, which brought about my disqualification and the consequent impression not favourable to myself, was the result of a misapprehension on my part. I have been wrestling professionally for 12 years'in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia, and everywhere I found that the kind of wrestling I gave here was what was wanted. I naturally enough thought that what I had given the rest of the world was what was expected of me here. It is my misfortune that such is not the case. I can, of course, work to any rules and any style, but what is one man’s meat is another’s poison, and what suits Sydney and Melbourne may not suit Wellington. There is no reflection in that. It seems to me it is a matter of geography. Wrestling can be just what you make it. I mean to say that it can be made amenable to the strictest rules or indulged in roughly. It is taught in every school and college in America as a regular normal thing. I have given exhibitions in schools, in Y.M.C.A’s. and church halls, and never a word has been raised against it as one of the manly sports.”

WALTER LOGAN v. FRED EBERT. The Southland Wrestling Association is determined to place the sport of wrestling on the map in the Southland district, and encouraged by the success of the open bout, between Tom Ray and Fred Ebert last Thursday, the association has been successful in arranging for Walter Logan to appear here on Thursday in opposition to Fred Ebert, the Austrian, who put up an excellent showing with Tom Ray. Logan is the youngest of the matmen in the Dominion, being only 24 years of age, but be has already engaged in many professional, contests and has a victory to his credit over the giant Greek, John Kilonis, Tom Ray and other prominent matmen. Last week Ebert- impressed the, local fans with his spectacular method ol wrestling, but in Logan he is meeting a fast and powerful grappler, and Thursday’s contest should be full of action and thrills from start to finish. Both men are of the open type of -wrestler, and the contest should even be more exciting than last week’s bout. For the information of patrons, the ringside seats are elevated and give an uninterrupted view of the men in the ring. The box plan for ringside, dress circle and orchestral stalls is now open at the Bristol and patrons are urged to make a point of reserving their seats, as judging by the crowd at. last week’s contest there Is sure to be a capacity house on Thursday.
