NOTES BY SIR MODRED.

Wellington Racing Club’s Winter fixture will conclude on Trentham tracks to-morrow.

It is suggested that Wellington Steeplechase hero, Omeo, has not always been sound.

The Winter Hurdle Race (2jm.) will be the leading feature of the W.R.C. races to-morrow.

Smart hurdler Adventus is prepared for his contests by his jockey M. 11. Nicol.

Tavern Knight is a very smart Aucklander likely to be raced at Trentham to-morrow.

Dunedin-owned hurdler Morena was scratched for all engagements at W.R.C. meeting.

Entries for all events at Christchurch Hunt fixture, on July 29, will close this evening.

The Christchurch Hunt Club gathering will be held at Riccarton on Saturday, July 29.

An unusually mild winter was conducive to recent jumping time records in Melbourne.

Waimate District Hunt meeting on Thursday may provide local interest in Southland.

Southerners West Dome, Trisox and Poor Boy arc engaged at Waimate Hunt fixture.

Aged pacer Gold Jacket, by Gold Bell, is to be shipped to VZest Australia this week.

Henry of Navarre is gifted as a galloper, now jumps well, and should win a hurdling stake.

Pahu ricked himself last week., but is expected to start in the Winter Hurdle Race to-morrow.

On previous public form and track displays, Slippery’s racing on Tuesday was hardly true.

F. D. Jones has claimed the name of Bed Light for his Shambles—Luminant juvenile pupil.

Owing to a very severe frost experienced on Monday Addington main track was closed.

Including Tuesday’s effort, Merry Peel has recorded five seconds in his last six starts.

Considering that Sydney trotting meeting are held on Mondays, the sport is making very great strides.

In Trentham Hurdles High Falutin ptruck the first fence heavily and came back very lame.

Billy Boy’s form in Wellington Steeplechase was not impressive but the C.J.C. course will suit him.

It is anticipated that the Sydney Trotting Thousand will be reinstated in the near future.

High Pitch and Copey tailed off and Callamart struggled into fourth place in Wellington Steeplechase.

Judged on his Wellington Steeplechase ‘ display, Callamart will have to improve for G.N. Steeplechase.

Gold Knight failed to win at Trentham on Tuesday, but his second was encouraging for G.N. Hurdles.

Fancied jumper High Grader was not nominated for the New Zealand Grand National hurdles.

Lady Spy (Lord Quex—Ruse) third in the Whyte Handicap at Trentham is an aged mare.

Passion Fruit, winner of the W.R.C. Trial Plate, ranks as a representative of a Hawkes Bay stable.

Christchurch light harness trainer B. Jarden has eight pupils in his stable, mostly young horses.

Backers on the place machine at Trentham yesterday must have reaped very fair prices.

Sir Musk, winner of the W.R.C. Corunna Hurdles yesterday, is a four-year-old gelding from Te Awamutu.

An Australian-bred juvenile gelding won at Trentham yesterday when Mercian Prince prevailed.

Riccarton-trained Nightly, Thurina, and Hounslow were just good enough for seconds yesterday.

A promising youngster pacer in B. Jarden’s stable is a son- of Great Bingen from Yura Dillon, by Harold Dillon from Stop It.

Chief Light was in a handy position to the home turn in Whyte Handicap. but failed to come home with the leaders.

Paddon, who galloped fast in Trentham Hurdles, jumped very badly, but the lesson maj' serve him for Winter Hurdles.

Hounslow apparently raced well in his jumping essay yesterday and this fact is satisfactory in view in view of valuable events ahead.

Brilliant Adventus may find Emancipation, Henry of Navarre and Gold Knight troublesome in Winter Hurdles (2.5 m. to-morrow.

When The Cracksman won the Steeplechasers’ Flat Race _ (2m.) at Flemington recently, he registered better time than that recorded in 24 Melb. Cues.

Imported Red Dennis has sired two noted winners in Australia—Sister Olive, 1921 Melbourne Cup, and Redditch, V.R.C. Grand National Steeplechase.

Riccarton jockey Cliff Eastwood, who had a leg broken in a racing smash at Easter at Riccarton, is moving round without a stick and hopes to ride shortly.

Poitrcl was represented by three crack hurdlers at the recent V.R.C. Grand National meeting, in Belar (G.N. Hurdles), Lynden (runner-up») and Poidale (a second).

If, as reported, Luna Lux did not jump the Wellington country too well, he will have to make marked improvement to succeed over the C.J.C’s. big fences.

The success of the new win machine, showing the dividends and number of investors at every stage of the proceedings prior to a race, was marked at Trentham.

Apparently sore when raced at Napier recently, it is reported that Jen was taken to Trentham in the knowledge that he has on several occasions raced well over W.R.C. country.

It would be of interest to know why the N.Z. Racing Conference has allotted December 1 and 2 as the dates for the Winton Jockey Clubs Annual fixture in lieu of November 24 and 25, w 17 and IS- .The .Winton «LC. has

raced continuously early in November for a lifetime and the reason of the change is not apparent at thip stage of the game.

At Trentham on 'Tuesday the W.R.C. sold out of admission tickets and racebooks. The crowd was of much greater magnitude than was expected, with the gate receipts very satisfactory. Under the circumstances it was not surprising to find that the totalisator returns for the day exceeded those of last season by nearly £5OOO.

During the past season the Invercargill Trotting Club paid to the Government by way of taxation: Totalisator tax, £598 2/-; dividend tax, £653 9/-; stake tax, £75 10/-; amusement tax, £6O 13/10; income tax, £7 2/5; making a total of £1394 17/3. These heavy exactions enable that section of the community opposing trotting and racing to escape a certain amount of taxation!

The intimation that Clifden Racing Club has been granted February 17 us a racing date, provided the Club races on its own course on that date may be interpreted in several ways. It is on tire cards that very few of the Conference delegates who voted to this end were aware of the difficulties besetting the C.R.C. in attracting owners to a very distant course to race for small stakes at very heavy expense in these days of financial stringency, while, at the same time, the gentlemen who came to this decision are probably invariably to be found calling on clubs and owners to keep the racing flag flying—these remarks are not actuated by any suggestion that the C.R.C. proposes or wishes to hold its fixture of the new season on any other course than its own. Then, again, there may have been influence brought to bear by other southern interests to confine the activities of the C.R.C. to its own track, and, if so, its source can be readily understood here —this mat” ter might with advantage and due sense of proportion have been well left to the Southland District Committee for consideration and advice.

During the past season six committee meetings were held on behalf of the Invercargill Trotting Club and were attended as follows: J. B. Thomson 6, J Hislop 6, E. W. Howorth 6, Dr. A. Owen Johnston 6, W. Crawford 5, J. H. Hill 5, B. Ireland 5, W. Falconer 5, W. Grieve 4 J. E Humphries 4, A. Dix (appointed during the year by the committee te take the place of Mr T. A. Henry, deceased) 3.

The decision of the N.Z. Racing Conference in permitting the Oamaru J.C. to hold a meeting on the disputed date of January 2 has been cast and must be accepted in good faith, and wholeheartedly supported in the meantime, but this arrangement should not be looked upon as final. Very few of the North Island delegates to the Conference can be said to thoroughly giasp the situation and it should be the al,n of the four racing and trotting clubs concerned in the province of Southland to fight on in an endeavour to drive the truth home to turf legislators at the present juncture not immediately concerned. In coming to the decision arrived at on Wednesday kindred southern racing and trotting institutions have been handicapped and this fact is hardly likely to be lost to sight in one of the most prosperous and progressive racing provinces in Maoriland. Members of the Conference responsible for this verdict will find the light harness clubs of the southern circuit more than equal to holding their own under the circumstances, while the racing clubs involved will surmount unnecessary difficulties presented to. their wellbeing and in due course their influence will be sought to assist in bolstering up turf bodies controlled by . those who have not studied the question on its merits or endeavoured, to read the signs of the times as affecting racing, in the North Island and northern portion of the South Island—the home province is a sealed book to many northern sportsmen, but some day they, will read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest, as an ancient writer succinctly put it.

It was a good performance on the part of five-year-old gelding Cylinder to win the Parliamentary Handicap at Trentham yesterday —a victory that was anticipated by the Wellington correspondent of this paper—as he won out after a rare battle with the veteran Seatown (10.2) and carried 9.13 in the achievement as a performer hardly ready to give of his best after a recent let-up. Racing in the interests of his trainer, J. H. Jcfferd, Cylinder has been looked upon for some time past as a stayer in the making and his success over ten furlongs is in the direction of advancing this contention. He is a well-bred unsexed performer by Limond (imp.) from the imported English matron Cymene, by Cylgad (son of Cyllene) from Hippocrene, by Spearmint (son of Carbine) from Glass Doll, by Isinglass from Amphora, by Amphion. The Hawkes Bay mentor J. H. Jcfferd has a younger brother to Cylinder in his stable, Cypress by name, and also a youngster halfbrother, viz., Cyclonic, by Hunting Song, who, by the way, finished third in the Trial Plate yesterday to Passion Fruit and Nightly, and is stated to be a youthful galloper likely to distinguish himself as a juvenile next season —in the Trial Plate he went out an B—7 selection. But to return to the winner, Cylinder, who has been described as somewhat lacking in pace, but likely to stay on. On the training tracks and in public this season he has recently demonstrated the fact that he can move swiftly and as a three-year-old during the 1930-31 season he opened his account by winning the Wanganui Guineas, followed by success in the Avondale Guineas, and he then passed on to score in the N.Z. Derby and G. G. Stead Gold Cup, but was subsequently relegated into second place in the Great Northern Derby at Auckland by I'arapoti, who has proved of late in India that he is a racehorse of more than average merit. He is not engaged in the spring handicaps in Australia, and it is to be hoped that he trains on for the leading events of the new season in Maoriland.

V/hile the great majority of experienced racing men and the general public in particular will be pleased to note that reference was made at the N.Z. Racing Conference annual meeting to the desirability of the Government legalizing the double-totalisator at racing fixtures and the right _to telegraph money to racecourses for investment on the machine, it is rather unfortunate that another matter was overlooked, whether intentionally or not is unknown. This will be found in neglect to appeal for the right, of newspapers to publish totalisator dividends. It is all very well to claim that the double-totalisator and telegraphing money to the legal channel would be a “body blow to the illegal bookmaker,” but would this be the result? This would leave the bookmaker in the position of an almost protected agent as “publisher of prices,” and as such the general public would rally to his support as usual, despite all the legislation to the contrary that could be enacted, with double-event totalisators and the right to wire investments thrown in.

Veterinary science is believed to have discovered a better means _ of treating horses affected in the wind, according to English authorities who have been writing on the subject Clustine, a son of Captain Cuttie, who possessed a lot of speed as a two-year-old, but won only one race last season at three years old, is considered to be immensely benefited by a course of the new treatment, and his future .carpej? is viewed optimistically.

MANAWHENUA SURPRISES. (Special to the Times.) Wellington, July 13. Thurina made a good bid for the double in the Hack Steeplechase, but a big outsider in Jen beat him fairly comfortably at the finish after being prominent throughout. Thurina was allowed to settle down well, the running being made by Kaokaoroa and Tunbridge from Jen, Fine Acre and Solanio. Thurina came at Jen at the last fence, but Jen landed over much the better and ran on for a comfortable win. Jen paid a thumping price which he was entitled to on form. Thurina ran a solid race and, had he jumped better at the last fence, may have won. He was unlucky.

Passion Fruit won the Trial Plate very comfortably, not being seriously challenged at all in the straight. He drew No. 1 and was always running handily, the leaders early being Camella Horn and Hunting Lodge from Passion Fruit, En Vidette, Nightly and Asterisca. Passion Fruit came forward about three furlongs from home and ran away from his opponents in the straight. Nightly rah on for second, with Cyclonic a good third. En Vidette was fourth, followed by Epigram, Secrecy, Windward, Asterisca and Heamistress. Nothing had any chance with Passion Fruit, but both Nightly and Cyclonic went well, the latter coming from the back.

The Otaki double winner Mercian Prince found the track conditions to his liking in the hack seven and, at a long price, he downed the favourite, Swift and Sure, with a late run on the inner. Swift and Sure made the running to the last furlong, where Mercian Prince came through and went on for a decisive win. Thrasher was a good third, just securing that position from High Then came Cardinal Moon, Currajong and High Grader. Mercian Prince is a good sort on a heavy track. He was a fresh horse, having been scratched for his race on Tuesday. Swift and Sure ran another solid race. High Speed went a good race.

An improvement in form by Sir Musk in the Hack Hurdles saw him snatch a narrow victory from another improver, Hounslow, the favourite, Gold Knight, being only fourth. Paleta made the running, but jumped badly at the second last fence and lost ground, but was still level at the last fence with Hounslow. The latter, however, jumped faster and ran on like a good winner. Suddenly Sir Musk- came from the clouds and, finishing fast, cut out Hounslow on the post. Paleta was a fair third and Gold Knight fourth. Vitaphone was next. The heavier going gave Sir Musk his chance. He paid double figures. Hounslow will not be long now. Gold Knight was going well in behind the leaders most of the way and still had a chance at the last fence, but his finishing effort was weak.

Cylinder, drawn close in to the rails in the Parliamentary Handicap, jumped away well and at once ran into a handy position in behind the leader, Beacon Fire, where he stayed till the straight, then came on to win convincingly though hotly challenged by old Seatown. Beacon Fire was soon joined in the lead by Stanchion, then in behind came Cylinder, Little Doubt and Protomint. Protomint moved up fast down the back stretch, occupying second place behind Beacon Fire, with Cylinder, Stanchion and Little Doubt handy, the rear being brought up by Chang, Seatown and Retract. Stanchion was beaten at the half-mile, Beacon Fire leading into the straight from Cylinder, Protomint and Little Doubt, while Seatown followed Cylinder through on the rails. Cylinder had the leaders beaten at the last furlong, coming on, but in turn was challenged on the inner by Seatown who momentarily looked like scoring, but kicked up to his job, Cylinder drew away again nearing the post for a decisive victory. Chang was a moderate fourth followed by Little Doubt, Protoinint, Retract and Copper King. Cylinder was well handled by his rider, in fact perfectly ridden, and in the finish he won like the good class horse he is. Seatown was another instance of good class overcoming even the handicap of age. Seatown better placed earlier may have been the winner. Chang put up a good performance as he also made up a lot of ground, but Beacon Fire and Protomint had every chance. Protomint was beaten before they reached the straight. Little Doubt also had every chance. Retract and Town Major were never likely.

Valueless at a good price just won the Highweight Handicap from a rank outsider in Love Court who would have paid a dividend over a century. Tea Garden made the running with Shootist and Valueless well placed. Love Court, Adventus and Emancipation were also well up, the rear division comprising March Alone, Strong Light, and Membo. Valueless hit the front entering the straight and was well clear at the distance. Here Love Court came with a strong run and in an exciting finish only just failed ,to get up. Emancipation was a fair third and March Alone fourth followed by Adventus, High Pitch, Tea Garden and Membo. Valueless was always going well but Love Court nearly brought off a coup. Emancipation, Adventus and Membo did well for hurdlers. March Alone came from such a long way back that his effort was very creditable. Strong Light, backed solidly from the right quarter, finished last.

Manawhenua with K. Voitre up, was a straightout choice in the Members Handicap, although Merry Peel carried more money in the place pool. The public were right on the spot as they ran according to the betting. At the start Cottesmore swerved away and took no part in the running. Slippery led from Royal Hunting, Playground, Manawhenua, Merry Peel, Huntingdon and All Humbug. This was the order to the straight where Manawhenua pulled out from the rails to challenge the leader. After a brief struggle he shot away to win brilliantly from Merry Peel who came well on the rails to beat Royal Hunting. Slippery was fourth, followed by All Humbug, Miladi and Glenvane. Manawhenua won in his best style, although it was a very marked improvement on Tuesday’s form when he was ridden by an apprentice. Merry Peel, Royal Hunting and All Humbug all ran consistently and Slippery showed up much better.

Form was emphatically held in the concluding event when Amyril led all the way and again ran away from a challenge by Pladie. With the leader early were Gold Dress and Heather Glow. Pladie and Amyril took charge entering the course proper and then Amyril ran away from Pladie who looked to hold a chance at the false rail. Woodful was a fair third and Sir Pombal fourth, followed by West Tor, Heather Glow. Repudiation was last. The winner has proved herself wonderfully improved. She gave nothing a chance. WEIGHTS FOR SATURDAY. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, July 13. The following are the weights for the third day of the Wellington Racing Club’s Winter meeting:— TALAVERA HURDLES, £l5O. One and a-half miles.

SOUTH CANTERBURY HUNT CLUB. HANDICAPS DECLARED. (Per United Press Association.) Timaru, July 13. The following are the handicaps for the South Canterbury Hunt Club’s meeting on July 22: —

BENEFIT MEETING. SPARE PERMIT MUST BE USED. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, July 13. Unless a totalisator permit is found to be available on account of a racing or trotting club not having used it, a special race meeting in aid of the business men’s relief distress fund cannot be held in Christchurch this year. This was made clear in a letter which the Minister of Internal Affairs has written to the chairman of the committee. WINOOKA IN AMERICA. FIRST RACE ARRANGED. MATCH WITH FRISKY ’MATRON. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) San Francisco, July 12. Arrangements have been finalized for a race between Winooka and Frisky Matron on July 29 on the Tanforan track over five and a-half furlongs. Winooka will carry Bst 81b and Frisky Matron 7st 71b. Edgar Britt will ride the Australian. No rider has yet been selected for the Californian mare. Winooka arrived at Tanforan in splendid condition. His next match will be at Seattle on August 12. The distance has not yet been determined but it is likely to be six furlongs. The opponent is still undesignated but it will possibly be a horse from the Middle West. It is now stated positively that Winooka will remain in the West at present. A 10,000 DOLLAR PURSE. (Rec. 7'p.m.) New York, July 13. A message from San Bruno, California, states that Winooka’s match race against Frisky Matron on July 29 will be over five and a half furlongs for a 10,000 dollar purse offered by the San Mateo Jockey Club. It was originally planned to start Winooka at Seattle, but representatives said the coming race would probably be the only one on the coast before leaving for the East where his owners are negotiating for matches against Equipoise and Gallant Sir. Frisky Matron holds the Tanforan six furlongs record of Jmm 11 2-ssec.

The following is the Western team to meet Eastern at Otautau on Saturday: Porter; Dixon, McKay, Harrington: Gonley, Frampton; Burton; Pope, J. Harding, E.
