SPORTING

NOTES BY SIR MODRED.

Waikouaiti R.C. and Oamaru J.C. acceptances are due this (Thursday) evening.

There will be a lull in public racing activities until next week on Boxing Day.

Wyndham Racing Club Annual fixture acceptances will close on Saturday next.

It is stated that Red Sun was looking a picture when beaten at Waipa meet-, ing.

At Hawera on Saturday Golden Hair and Round Table ran 5 furlongs in 1.2 3-5.

Visitors to Waipa meeting noted that Jonathan raced and won very solidly.

Smart youngster Whenukura is reported to be looking well in his Hawera tasks.

Locally-trained Choir (half-brother to Venite), is still displaying signs of soreness.

A bruised foot prevented Control (British Empire) being taken to Auckland meeting.

Riccarton trainer S. Barr is represented by seven horses in the Southland R.C. entries.

The fact that Harold Logan is to appear at Winton Trotting Club’s meeting is very satisfactory.

Developing lameness at Takapuna meeting, Paganelli has been absent from the tracks. *

At Newbury (Eng.) on October 20, one ticket on the “daily double” at 10/- returned over £1606.

It is reported from Auckland that Baroscope may compete at the Manawatu meeting.

J. F. Tutchen (Te Rapa) has Cordon engaged in the hurdle race at Marton fixture.

To race at Auckland, H. and A. Cutt’s pupil, Copyist, has only once been unplaced.

American stayer,X3usto, now in England, won about £30,000 in stake money in U.S.A.

Third in the Derby in 1929, Brienz is now one of England’s best ’chasers as a gelding.

To race over hurdles, Singer, by Songbird, is working strongly on the tracks at Hawera.

A brother to Irish Birdcatcher may be put up at auction during the Southland R.C. meeting.

With Signaller out of action, A. McKenzie may only take Sailing Home to D.J.C. fixture.

Although reported to be galloping well, Taranaki speedster Orapai needs a damp track.

Double winner at Woodville, Catalogue, will start in Queen’s Plate (Dec. 26) prior to G.N. Derby.

Win and place wagering and five shilling totalisator tickets will be in. evidence at the Wairarapa Trotting Club’s Annual fixture, at Carteron, on December 26 and 27.

There were necks dividing Maungatoon, King March, and King’s Knave at the finish of Te Awamutu Cup (1J m.) —the third horse was half-turned at the barrier and lost six lengths.

Valiska, Euge, and Choir were exercised at the Southland R.C.’s barrier yesterday morning, when the firstnamed gave a very satisfactory display, but Euge was not pressed.

in Wyndham Trial Handicap (5f.) Bay Biddy is a Riverton-trained filly by Shambles (imp.) from Chivalry by Gay Lad from Lady Talbot (traces to that good mare Lady Zetland).

The hurdlers Don Jose and Fleeting Glance, together with Royal Sceptre, Cheap Money, Niggerhead, Some Shamble, and Silver Sight, have been engaged from S. Barr’s stable at Invercargill.

Gayspear, a three-year-old maiden in H. Nurse’s Riccarton stable is by Greyspear (imp.) from Sweet Smile (dam of Polydora, and also of Sweet Beauty, dam of Rebel Star).

Three-year-old filly Charmione, who made her appearance at the Hororata R.C. meeting on Saturday last, is a maiden galloper from the stable of H. Nurse, of Riccarton. She is a daughter of imported Rosenor from Charmilia (dam of Charmeuse, Verden, and the Southland mare Cassolette, by Clarenceux.

A close relative of The Smuggler, in the shape of the useful gelding Signaller, is on the sick list at present, as the result of having developed a severe cold. The pity of it is that the son of Balboa was doing well in his preparation for holiday fixtures and he will probably have to forgo his New Year engagements.

It transpires that the juvenile filly Wait and See did win the Waipa Plate on Saturday but in the colours of Mr C. E. Robertson, well-known in Southland. Starting as a 3— 2 selection, she returned a fair price, although bracketed with Top Elight, but she had to do her best to stall off a challenge by the 7—6 fancy. Queen Mona, by half a length. Wait and See won a youngster event last season.

R. McLellan’s local charge, Honest Maid, is suffering slightly from soreness which cannot be located, but it may not prove to be serious. She is a mare who may make good as an open handicap stayer with age, and it would be very unfortunate should she develop anything like chronic trouble. The over-firm tracks necessary for fast galloping at the present time are apt to trouble tall four-year-old performers of the height of the daughter of Paladin —Honesty. Northern reports suggest that at the Waipa R.C. meeting the forward running of Impasto suggested that he is returning to his two-year-old formstarted in eleven races last season the colt won two races and gained three seconds and one third for £690 in stakes. He is an Australian-bred galloper of merit by High Art (an imported son of Gainsborough) from Baby Doll, but he does not claim an engagement in the A.R.C. Railway Handicap. The Cromwell Jockey Club’s Annual fixture will be held on March 9 and 10, with stakes totalling £650. J. Bryce has trained six winners of the N.Z. Trotting Cup, and five successful horses in Auckland Trotting Cup. Veteran reinsman J. Bryce will drive Kewpie’s Triumph in the Auckland Trotting Cup on Dec. 27. The acceptances for the Winton Trotting Club’s Annual fixture, on December 29, number 119, as compared with 149 last season.

William Tell, the backmarker on 48yds, is the only defection from Winton Trotting Club Handicap, leaving 12 entrants eligible.

The acceptances for the Otokia Hurdle Race on the opening day of the D.J.C. Summer meeting present the pleasing total of eight.

The Southlander, The Rector, and Ruling Pen, were the only jumpers to drop out of the Dunedin J.C. hurdle race on Boxing Day.

With Signaller on the sick list, Sailing Home will be the only Rorke’s Drift Lodge candidate to compete on Boxing Day at Wingatui.

When Maoriland youngster Sir John secured £450 in stakes in his first win in Sydney recently his owner, Mr Moss, did not forget to back him.

Despite the fact that Sir John cost 750gns as a yearling in N.Z., it is claimed that he more than returned this outlay, when he won Kirkham Stakes.

Eight minor placings led up to Havaspot’s recent success in Sydney for G. Young’s stable—the gelding was heavily backed by his connections.

The Christchurch pacer Desert Maiden, owned by Mr T. G. Fox, is reported to be in great order for her engagements at Gore and Winton meetings.

W. J. Tomkinson, with Indianapolis, Wilma Dillon, and Black Jester, left Christchurch on Tuesday evening to assist at Auckland Trotting Club meeting.

When pitted against time on the occasion of the Winton Trotting Club’s Annual gathering next week, the champion pacer Harold Logan will engage in his task immediately after the Winton Trotting Club Handicap has been decided. The Logan Pointer gelding will be set to step over one mile to sulky.

The Agua Caliente Handicap will be run next year on March 18, but this time the advertised prize money is only 25,000 dollars (approximately £5000). Entries close on January 1, the fee being £5, and it will cost another £5O to start. Evidently Agua Caliente’s big race was much too costly to keep near its old value when Phar Lap won.

The acceptors for tire Winton Trotting Club Handicap (2m.) number 12, as compared with 21 last season. Last year’s leading event at Winton was won by Girvan in 4.32, with Gumdigger (4.30 2-5) and’Jolly Wave (4.29), filling the places. The field for the contest of next week is a good one and contains quite a number of promising pacers estimated to prove equal to recording fast times and fighting out an interesting finish.

This is a different story to that reprinted from Sydney earlier during the current week with regard to one of W. Stone’s pupils, classed as a failure:— Manchu’s first race at Moorefield on December 9 evidently improved him, for he strode out well at Randwick a few days later. He led his stablemate, Silver Peak, over half a mile in 51Jsec (says a Sydney paper). Manchu is a bold type of galloper, whose preparation has been interrupted by bad luck.

Billy Boy, who will contest hurdle races at the Auckland meeting, gave a first-rate exhibition of jumping over five flights of hurdles last week, and R. Lewis has the brown gelding in the right order for coming engagements. The class engaged in hurdle events at the Auckland meeting is only of average quality, and on jumping ability alone Billy Boy’s prospects are entitled to consideration.

The announcement that racing and trotting clubs will be given authority to retain 10 per cent, of the tax paid on totalisator investments during the current racing season (writes “St. Clair” in Dunedin Star), will in some measure compensate the disappointment experienced over the fate of the Gaming Amendment Bill. For three months ended October last the sum of £28,137 was paid in taxation on totalisator investments, so the direct loss to the Government will only amount to £2814 on that amount. Divided amongst the clubs it will, help them to continue the increase in their stakes, and also shows that the Government is sympathetic and appreciative of the efforts to keep the sport of racing and trotting alive. The total amount paid in totalisator taxation in the 1931-32 season was £176,447, and in the 1932-33 season £147,130.

When first sent to Riccarton to the care of Mrs J. Campbell, it was intended to confine four-year-old gelding Vintage to the jumping game on behalf of Mr D. W. Westenra, but he developed merit as a flat racer and may not face hurdles for some time to come. In four starts he has scored a third, first, second and first, a record making attractive reading. He is a son of the imported horse Shambles (descendant of Trenton) from Juality by the French sire Clarenceux from Lady Majestic, by Majestic from Lady Melton, by Bill of Portland from Litigant, by Martini Henry (by Musket, and winner of the V.R.C. Derby and Melbourne Cup) from Leonie by Yattendon (sire of stayers) from Thyra, by Boiardo from Rose of Denmark (imp.) by Stockwell. This breeding return bristles with the names of racers of high degree and stout performances, a fact suggesting that all things considered, the last has not been heard of Vintage.

At first glance a big, looselimbed, plain-looking gelding at present undergoing the educational process with Mr W. T. Hazlett’s team of five on the S.R.C. tracks, under the direction of C. Pope, might be termed the ugly duckling of the bunch, but there are possibilities from various angles radiating from the large three-year-old. Should he stand up to the exigencies of training and last on to maturity as a galloper, he would make a great hurdling prospect, as he has size, strength, spread and sturdy limbs in his conformation, while there is no reason why he should not move quickly, as he can handle himself well for a big fellow of the juvenile stage. Then he is bred to gallop and his England sire, Tea Tray has already been responsible for begetting batten-crossers. The Gladstone Lodge gelding is out of Potheen, by Paper Money from Sprig of Erin (imp.) by Desmond (son of St. Simon) from Sweet Vernal, by Sainfoin from Musa, by Martagon (sire of Martian) and he would be a bold man experienced in the art of breeding who would suggest that this was not the descent of a horse likely to gallop fast, stay on, or clear fences. Relieved of racing duties for two or three seasons and kept to utility hacking pursuits the Tea Tray thoroughbred might furnish into a double Grand National winnerhurdles and cross country—well worth any man’s money.

Though Mr Canter had to publish his handicaps for the first day of the Dunedin meeting and the Oamaru meeting on Monday morning and Mr Hassall announced his adjustments for the Wyndham meeting on Saturday morning (writes “St. Clair” in the Dunedin Evening Star), neither was present to witness the racing at Riccarton on Saturday. Mechanical handicapping is certainly spoiling the light harness sport, and, if it is going to be introduced into racing by weight adjustors

being allowed to impose fixed penalties on winners and horses running into the minor places without seeing the racing and having logical reasons for their adjustments, the sport is going to suffer, and owners not get a fair deal. All but one of the winners at Riccarton on Saturday are engaged on the first day at Wingatui, but there was not by any means the same merit in their individual victories, and to an observant handicapper there were incidents in the running which should not entitle some of the beaten horses to much consideration. Handicappers who base their adjustments on . outside information instead of from' their own impressions of the racing may be said to do so mechanically, and one of the conditions of their appointment should be that they must attend all meetings within a convenient radius where horses they have to handicap are engaged, ■ more particularly when these meetings occur on the eve of the publication of handicaps, as was the case on Saturday. “ROARING” IN HORSES. ITS CAUSE AND CURE. “Rapier,” in the “Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News,” writes that a leading English veterinary surgeon has given him an explanation of the cause of “roaring” in racehorses and the operation necessary for its cure. Following is the veterinary advice: “Roaring in the horse results from paralysis of the larynx or, to be more precise, paralysis of one or more muscles which are responsible for the movement of various cartilages and other structures comprising the larynx. The opening and closing of the glottis is the particular movement concerned. In a very high proportion of cases, 90 per cent, or more, it is the left side of the larynx only that is affected; and since the nerve on this side that is responsible for the muscular movement has a markedly different disposition in the body to its fellow of the right side, it seems only reasonable to assume that this peculiar disposition of it must have much to do in determining that the left side only is affected in such a high proportion of cases. “The result of this paralysis in a typical case in which the left side only is affected is that the arytenoid cartilage and the attached vocal chord of this side is imperfectly swung outward during the opening of the glottis when inspiration is taking place. Owing to this incomplete, or, in advanced cases, suspended, movement, the opening into the ventricle, a small pouch-like cavity one on each side of the larynx just above and in front of the vocal chord, is not properly closed, and part of the inspired air on passing into the top of the windpipe enters and distends the ventricle, and by so doing lessens the lumen of the larynx and interferes with the free passage of air down the windpipe. In addition to this interference with the free supply of air to the lungs, the vocal chord, which forms the lower boundary of the opening into the ventricle, by reason of its not being held taut on the side of the larynx, vibrates and so combines to give rise to the noise which is known as ‘whistling’ or ‘roaring,’ according to the degree of its intensity. Tlie Operation.

“The operation which is now extensively practised in England is in reality a plastic operation and consists of the complete removal of the membrane lining the ventricle. This removal causes adhesion of (he vocal chord and the arytenoid cartilage to the side of the larynx, leaving the lumen of the larynx unimpaired. The operation was t first practised by the Gunthers in Hanover in the latter half of the 19th century. It was revived by Williams in America early in the 20th century, and introduced by him into England, where it was extensively practised by Hobday, who improved upon Williams’s technique. Brayley Reynolds, the wellknown Newmarket veterinary surgeon, as a result of some experiments carried out during the war, further improved the technique, and, by resecting a portion of the vocal chord, in addition to stripping the whole of the membrane lining the ventricle, has obtained a higher percentage of results in which there is an entire absence of noise following the operation. Although the paralysis that is responsible for roaring is, as has been said, confined to the left side, in the majority of cases it is customary to operate on both sides of the larynx.” THE AUCKLAND MEETING. ARRIVALS FROM THE SOUTH. LATEST SCRATCHINGS. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, December 20. Arrivals this morning include Dollar Prince, Diatomous, Red Manfred, Pin Money, Brown Betty, Lack, Gipsy Love, Rocket, Cricket Bat, Golden Wings, Copyist, Variant, Croupier. Pomp, Spiral, Burnish, Guarantee and Southdown. Gold Trail has developed a dry cough again but otherwise he looks well. Croupier, whose leg filled while on the ship at Lyttelton to Wellington, was doing walking exercises this morning. The swelling has now gone down though there is still a little heat in the leg. His trainer is of opinion that it will not interfere with Croupier’s work. Courtyard, Coronilla, Senior and April Fool were scratched at one o’clock this afternoon for all their A.R.C. engagements.

The secretary, Mr Heathwood, said the association would not debar Metcalfe and Hampson from making the trip. “We are fighting for the principle and are not concerned with the individual. As a matter of fact, we are trying to safeguard the athlete.”

SWIMMING SOUTHLAND CENTRE. MEETING OF EXECUTIVE. The fortnightly meeting of the Southland Swimming Centre was held last evening, the president (Mr A. J. Kingsland) presiding over a good attendance. Letters of congratulation of Miss D. Symon’s successful attempts on the New Zealand records were received from the Otago Centre and Mr L. Annand, the centre’s representative on the New Zealand Council. It was decided to apply to the Minister of Internal Affairs for permission to participate in an art union. A letter from the City Council conveying thanks for the centre’s assistance during the “Learn to Swim” week was received. The education officer, Mr G. E. Salisbury, reported that the swimmers' certificates would be ready for issue within the next seven days.

The programme of swimming events for January 2 from the Bluff Club was approved. It was decided to endeavour to send a party of swimmers to Bluff on January 2 to assist the club and give demonstrations of swimming and diving. Mr Norman Kidd was appointed manager and organizer. The following swimmers were suggested to represent Southland at the New Zealand junior and intermediate championships at Palmerston North: Miss D. Symon, Miss C. Lynch, Miss M. McGrath and K. Shaw. It was decided to enter them as follows:—Miss M. Symon, 50 yards and 100 yards junior freestyle; Miss C Lynch, 50 yards junior freestyle; Miss M. McGrath, 100 and 220 yards intermediate freestyle; K.

Mrs Lynch was appointed chaperone for the team.

It was decided to hold the centre picnic at Tuatapere on January 14. Swimmers are to assist the Tuatapere Club with demonstrations during the day.

BOWLS

FRIENDLY MATCH. NORTHEND DEFEAT OTAUTAU. Last evening a team of Otautau bowlers played a return match with Northend on the Northend green and were defeated by a margin of six points after a game which proved most enjoyable in spite of the green being a little damp. Mr A. Courtis, president of the Northend Club, welcomed the visitors, and Mr G. Sinclair, president of the Otautau Club, returned thanks. The visitors were entertained by the home team at the conclusion of the match. Details:—

HOKONUI A v. EDENDALE. Hokonui A travelled to Edendale on Tuesday evening and defeated the local team by the narrow margin of two points after an exciting match. De-

GORE B. v. MATAURA. The Gore Bowling Club’s B team travelled to Mataura last evening and defeated the local team by the narrow margin of three points after an exciting match.

BOXING WATSON DEFEATS CROWLEY. FIGHT ENDS IN UPROAR. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7 p.m.) London, December 19. Ex-Seaman Watson knocked out Dave Crowley, a Londoner, in the tenth round. The featherweight title was not involved. Crowley, making the most of an unexpected opportunity to meet Watson, attacked strongly in the early rounds and continued to worry him, consequently the spectators were surprised when the fight. ended suddenly. Watson swung a right to the solar plexus. Crowley was unable to leave the ring for five minutes. The fight ended in uproar, the crowd alleging a foul and jeering Watson and cheering Crowley. CYCLING THE RECENT AGREEMENT. CANTERBURY CENTRE STAND OUT.

(Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, December 20. The Canterbury Amateur Cycling Centre has written to headquarters in Wellington stating that it is not prepared to enter into the agreement reported to have been made concerning the control of the sport and that it intends to continue as it has done during the first half of the present season. The centre in a letter states it was not consulted concerning the agreement and refuses to be a party to any agreement which appears to be arranged to suit the opposing section of amateurs. The centre claims it has a useful field of cyclists all registered and it is not prepared to have a repetition of the trouble of last season.

CRICKET

CHANGE IN CANTERBURY TEAM.
