NOTES BY SIR MODRED. Entries for the Winton Jockey Club’s Annual races are due on Monday. The V.R.C. Spring meeting opens today—Melbourne Cup is run on Tuesday- w Banks Peninsula R.C.’s fixture, due to-day, has been postponed owing to wet. At the N.Z. Cup meeting the outside enclosure charge will be 1/6, as against 2/-. The V.R.C. Derby, Melbourne Stakes and Maribymong Plate will be decided to-day. Wellington Trotting Club’s N.Z. Cup Trial fixture is expected to take place this afternoon. L. J. Ellis is now pressing K. Voitre, who is at the head of the Maoriland jockeys’ winning list. Feminine gallopers may be seen to advantage at tire forthcoming N.Z. Cup gathering. Heavily burdened at Gore, Fair Weather should do better at Riccarton, as he strips very well. Her stiff and unsuccessful venture at Gore does not appear to have adversely troubled Red Sea. The connections of youngster Princess Doreen are agreed that the going at Trentham beat her. The meeting of Fracas and Red Manfred in C.J.C. Welcome Stakes is being eagerly awaited already. The C.J.C. Welcome Stakes and New Zealand Cup will be decided at Riccarton on Saturday next. Melbourne Cup meeting opens to-day, and extends over Tuesday (Cup day), Thursday and Saturday (Nov. 5). When Archer won the first Melbourne Cup event, away back in 1861, the race was only worth £2OO. New Zealanders may play prominent parts in the Melbourne Cup of Tuesday next and its £7200 stakes. Two stern contests at Gore improved Signaller in appearance and he may yet prove a good horse. At one time owned in Invercargill Martifors (Martian) died in foaling in N.S.W. very recently. Although rmsuccessful at Gore, several Riverton-trained horses will do much better presently. The New Zealand Racing Conference is inviting applications for the position of Chief Stipendiary Steward. It appears safe to claim that descendants of Musket have beaten the progeny of other sires in Melbourne Cup. Prince Pombal is to be added to the list and spelled in N.S.W., and will then be trained by his new owner. The total number of entries for the New Zealand Cup meeting reads at 246 fewer than last season. When appointed Chief Stipendiary in Queensland, Mr A. P. Wilson, late of Maoriland, beat 118 applicants. The field of twenty-three in Gore Novice Handicap .was the best-bred collection ever seen on the track for this event. It was a general impression at Trentham last week that Cadland will do better on the firm Riccarton track. In the event of Native owner, H. Rama, landing a Melbourne Cup next week, his success would be popular in Maoriland. It is satisfactory to glean that Dunedin Jockey Club, Gore Racing Club and Oarmaru Trotting Club made profits on recent meetings. There will be a scramble for the vacant position of N.Z. Chief Stipendiary Steward, with many busy-bodies strongly in evidence. Although he did not land a winner first time out as a trainer, E. Mackie went close to success with Amelita at Gore fixture. The neat little Great Shot (Last Dart —Geranial) ran a nice race into fourth place in his division of G.R.C. Novice Handicap. The V.R.C. Derby race to-day will be worth £4OOO, of which £BOO is for second, and £4OO for third—next season the event will be worth less. Australian experts favour Oro for the V.R.C. Derby race this afternoon, but Maorilanders will still fancy Gaine Carrington. The Sydney Referee points out that outsiders seldom win the Melbourne Cup, Kingsborough, by Wallace, being the last, back in 1914. The running of Leading Boy, at the Gore meeting, suggests that the son of Some Boy II has not lost his useful form of last season. Cough did not run up to expectations at Gore, but F. W. Ellis had her looking well and the Sutala—Yawn mare may do better shortly. Surprise has been expressed at the failures of Normandy and Red Sim at Trentham, but the pair are built on lines unfavourable to soft going. Spanish Maid was always prominent in her races at Gore and the relative to The Smuggler, Rioter and Signaller, may win for T. Pollock shortly. The Hon. Ajar Wynne, who will be represented in the V.R.C. Derby to-day by The Doctor’s Orders, is recognized as probably Australia’s oldest owner of racehorses. Acceptances for the New Zealand Cup, Stewards’ Handicap and minor events at the Canterbury Jockey Clubs Spring meeting, which opens on Saturday next, are due on Monday. Veteran horseman and mentor, James Scobie, of Victoria, who will produce The Doctor’s Orders for the V.R.C. Derby to-day, has been training for the colt’s owner for fifty years. The Feilding Jockey Club has decided to pay out three dividends, where nine or more horses start, at its meeting next month, also two dividends on fields composed of five horses. The five-year-old gelding Eminent (Leighton—Exclusive) who will accompany Historic to be New Zealand Cup meeting, is a very useful galloper in S. J. Reid’s Trentham team. Drumfire (an elder brother to Fracas), who won a race and finished second in another event at the recent Trentham meeting, will represent Sir Charles Clifford in the N.Z. Derby. Both Black Boa and his elder sister, Remindful, by Balboa from Reminder, displayed speed in their respective en-

gagements at the recent Gore Racing Club Spring meeting. It is interesting to learn that an intimate connection of the winner of an important race in England this week, a winner which returned a price of over a century, only had £4O on the successful galloper. There are thousands of racegoers in the Dominion who would have been overjoyed to have been participants in this price to the extent of half-a-crown. Maoriland turfites to a man or woman will be unable to extend sympathy to the select personage who “only had £4O” on a winner of any race at the reward quoted. Had Country King not stumbled at the start of the Dash Handicap at Oamaru and lost four lengths the exSouthlander might have won. With six furlongs to go he was last, but made up his ground in good style over the last half-mile. At the bend for home he was five lengths behind the winner, but finished strongly and was only a. length behind Sister Rose when the line was crossed. There is an element of romance about the career of the Caulfield Cup winner, Rogilla. When running in the paddock on Mr Hunter White’s Havilah Station, he was yarded with several others to ■ enable Mr White to select a batch to send to Sydney to be put j into work. Noticing a scum over one of Rogilla’s eyes, he instructed the station hands to cut Rogilla out of the mob and send him to Coolah as a station hack for his son, Henry. Rogilla duly arrived at Talbragar Station, and was broken in and hacked about by a station employee, Albert Rogers, who was tragically drowned in the Coolah Creek on January 24 of this year. Later on Mr Henry White leased Rogilla to his present trainer, L. Haigh. Light harness enthusiasts will be interested in the following extracts from the latest mail files: —The Frank P. Fox 6447 dollars stake, decided at Indianapolis on September 7, was won by Logan Scott, by Peter Scott—Carolyn Logan, by Jim Logan, who after running second to His Majesty in 2min 2sec won the two next heats in 2min 3}sec and 2min 3£sec, respectively. Another win of interest to New Zealand sportsmen was Ankabar’s success in the Ayres 2min lOsec Trot, for he won the first in 2min lsec, was unplaced in the second and won the deciding heat in 2min IJsec. Ankabar is by Bingen Silk, who is represented in the Dominion by Silk Thread, sire of Royal Silk. The close of the meeting on September 9 was featured by the fastest racing of the trotting season in America. Gold Cash, by Peter Volo—Sister Susan, by Moko, won the Lockerbie 2min ssec Pace, and after being beaten in the first heat by Calumet Adam in Imin 59jsec, he entered the 2min list by winning the second heat in Imin and the third in 2min. This was one of the fastest three-heat races of all time. The sensational times for the three heats show the evenness of the pace at which the three heats were run. They are as follows: First heat: Quarter mile 30sec, half 59? sec, mile Imin 59,jsec. Second heat: Quarter-mile 29jsec, half Imin, mile Imin 59|sec. Third heat: Quarter 30sec, half Irriin OJsec, mile 2min.

THE AUSTRALIAN TURF. WORK AT FLEMINGTON. TRACKS IN SOFT ORDER. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Melbourne, October 28. Silent Bird has re-appeared at Flemington. He has made an improvement and is now likely to be a runner in the Melbourne Cup. Manawhenua (J. Conquest) strode over the sand and looks well. Admiral Drake and Havering did useful work. The tracks are soft and the going to-morrow will be heavy. Skywriter has wrenched a shoulder. The New Zealander, Sastrugi, is an acceptor for Wednesday’s Ascot Thousand. V.R.C. DERBY ACCEPTORS.

Woodfull fell a victim when 35 to the schoolboy bowler, J. Goven, who later accounted for Rigg at 13. It is a long time since Woodfull has been clean bowled. However, the following batsman took the score to big figures. Victoria, first innings three for 382 (Ponsford 98, Darling not out 116, O’Brien not out 105). 4 TENNIS AMERICAN TOUR. MATCHES AT AUCKLAND, t ' Auckland, October 28. Consent to play exhibition matches in Auckland on Monday was received by wireless to-night from the American tennis team headed by Vines. They are passing through to Australia, but will return to New Zealand in February to tour the chief centres. WRESTLING WALKER DEFEATS KARASICK. Gisborne, October 28. Spectacular wrestling was seen tonight when George Walker defeated Al Karasick by two falls to one. The first three rounds were even and then Walker headlocked his opponent about the ring until he was groggy securing an easy fall. Karasick evened next after dumping Walker. An armlock and standing splits gave Walker the decid—ing fall early in the sixth round. YACHTING SANDERS CUP BOATS. " (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, October 28. In view of the Dunedin message yesterday stating that Otago favours the adoption of a eighteen-foot boat for future Sanders Cup contests it is interesting to learn that plans and specification for an eighteen-foot v-bottom-ed square bilge boat are being prepared in Wellington by a naval architect for several yachtsmen who have in view the annual inter-provincial contest. There is no intention that the proposed class should clash in any way with the Sanders Cup type of boat. It is believed that the eighteen footer with a beam of six feet could be built for £45 including sails.

CYCLING SOUTHLAND ROAD CHAMPIONSHIP. To-day the Invercargill Amateur Cycling Club will stage their final road race for the present season, with the Southland 56 mile road championship. This is the longest road race to be held in Souhtland since cycling has become popular again and the course is the hardest available in the vicinity of Invercargill. The handicaps which were published in Thursday’s issue include entries from Athol, Winton, Wyndham, Woodlands, Tokanui, and several riders from the local club. The race starts at Mary Street at 1.30 p.m. and is over a course extending to Hedgehope, Browns, Winton and will finish in Elies Road at St. Andrew Street. As the race is 56 miles over a fairly stiff course it will be about 4.30 p.m. before the first man arrives home. A dance will be held this evening in the U.F.S. Hall when the trophies will be presented to the placed riders. CROQUET ; GEORGETOWN CLUB. OPENING DAY. Although not favoured with the best of weather conditions and despite counter attractions, the Georgetown Croquet Club held a very successful opening day on Saturday, October 22, there being a good attendance of members, friends and representatives of sister clubs. Mrs Warburton (president) welcomed the visitors. Mr J. Orr, president of the playing area and hall, in a neat speech declared the green open for the coming season and hoped it would be a successful one. He then played the first ball after which afternoon tea was dispensed by the ladies of

the club. Competitions were played the winners being: Angles, Mrs Hoare; pegging, Mrs Betteridge; bulls eye, Mrs A. Wesney; putting, Miss Anderson; French croquet, Mrs Murray; golf croquet, Mrs H. Smith. Cake guessing, Miss Fraser. Shoe trees, Mrs H. Fraser. BILLIARDS LINDRUM v. SMITH, London, October 27. Lindrum replying to Smith’s challenge of October 10 proposes six games for £3OO aside. Lindrum will concede Smith 2000 points start in each of three games of a fortnight’s duration with two sessions of three hours each daily under ordinary rules. These will be followed by three other games under baulk-line rules, in each of which Lindrum will give 1500 start. The result will be decided on the highest aggregate. Lindrum stipulates that the games must be played on a neutral table. He adds that he’will give £5O to the hospitals when Smith accepts. Smith says he is willing to sign articles. BOXING MOSELEY AND JONES MATCHED. DOUBLE PROGRAMME AT OAMARU. Jimmy Moseley, Southland featherweight champion, who recently decided to enter the professional ranks, has been matched to meet Colin Jones, of Oamaru, in a professional ten-round contest at Oamaru on November 17. The bout will be for a £5O purse. It is probable that George McEwan (Invercargill) will be matched with Tom Croft (Greymouth) on the same programme. Both bouts will be tenrounders. Croft is the ex-amateur middleweight champion of New Zealand.
