NOTES BY SIR MODRED. Owners and trainers are reminded that acceptances for the first day of the Southland Racing Club's Summer fixture close at 5 o’clock this (Saturday) evening.

The Wyndham Racing Club’s Annual fixture will be held on Monday (Jan. 1) and in the event of favourable weather prevailing there will be a large attendance at the club’s well-appointed and pretty convincing ground. The opening event, Trial Plate Handicap, is scheduled for noon. Special passenger trains leave Invercargill for Wyndham at 10.0 a.m. and 10.50 a.m.

It transpires that the name of Wrey Boa has to be added to the entry list for the Forde Memorial Steeplechase at the Wairio J.C.’s Annual fixture on January 20. This nomination will increase the list of jumpers to be handicapped to ten.

The Southland Racing Club’s Summer fixture will open on Tuesday and continue over Wednesday. At the time of writing the acceptances for the opening day are not available, but they are expected to be satisfactory. A feature of the meeting will be a hurdle race to open each afternoon's proceedings and it is anticipated that the fields forward will yield interesting jumping sport.

The Manawatu Racing Club's Summer meeting, which embraced a three days’ programme, was brought to a conclusion yesterday. The sport was interesting and the wagering returns kept up, with the result that there was a small increase for the gathering, a very small one. in fact, as it only amounted to £5 10/-.

Christchurch Press reports that Ranelagh has thrown off all effects of his recent mishap, and he and Hurlingham will leave for Waikouaiti on Saturday. J. 11. Prosser will also go south with Grand Review and Double Shot.

Despite unfavourable weather yesterday, the Auckland Trotting returns kept up fairly well, a slight investment decrease of £452 being recorded.

A notable bloodstock purchase has just been made by Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Company, Limited, on behalf of Mr John Donald, of Wanganui, for his Westmere stud, in the acquisition in England of the five-year-old horse Beau Pere by Son-in-law from China, by Polymclus. Beau Pere is a half-brother to Gay Shield, sire of Gay Sheila, and other winners in a short stud career in New Zealand. Beau Pere was bought by his Majesty the King as a three-year-old, and was a winner at that age and as a four-year-old, winning at distances up to one and three-quarter mi’es. his most notable victories being achieved at Newmarket and Doncaster.

It is stated that the square trotter, Kippagh, surprised and, at the same time, delighted his owner-trainer A. McLellan by recording a rathei fortunate success in the President's Handicap. unhopped horses (two miles) at the Winton T.C, meeting yesterday. The well-bred Nelson Bingen gelding was not supported with any confidence by his connections, but the fact that he displayed improved speed on a somewhat dead racing surface afforded unalloyed pleasure. The win of the local mentor was very popular, as. despite his admitted skill and perseverance, his luck has been out for some time past, which probably accounted for his pupil rewarding his win followers with a double-figure reward.

The Auckland Racing Club's Summer meeting will be continued on Monday and brought to a conclusion on Tuesday. On January' 1 the leading events will be the Great Northern Derby, £1250, for three-year-olds (1-lm.) in which great interest will centre by reason of several smart fillies —Golden Hair, Gay Sheila, etc—and some promising colts taking part, while the Auckland R.C. Handicap £750 (11m.) will cater for the younger and elder brigade in conflict. It will be regretted that Nightly is not engaged in the G.N. Derby, as another meeting between the Night Raid colt and Red Manfred would have provided keen interest quite apart from the actual result of the classic event.

The huge bunched field in the Commissioners’ Handicap class 3.45 (11m.) at Winton T.C.’s meeting yesterday provided as fine a spectacle as the most exacting light harness lover could wish to see. but, at the same time, “rough house” methods appeared to be rather general in the distant stretch. One of the greatest sufferers was undoubtedly Fairhaven, who looked to be knocked from pillar to post anti the Man o’ War mare subsequently did well to eventually race the winner. Eingen Wrack, to half a length in the run to the judge. Her driver, F. G. Holmes, is not one of the timid class of reinsmen, but it is safe to say that he thought rude things by the way over the final five furlongs. Fairhaven may presently prove to be very useful. There was a considerable amount of luck in the running and had the race been run over again, the placings in several instances might have been quite different to those now on official record.

WINTON TROTTING CLUB. SUNSHINE AND KEEN SPORT. A SUCCESSFUL ANNUAL FIXTURE. CHAMPION HAROLD LOGAN CHEERED. INCREASED FINANCIAL RETURNS (By Sir Modred.) The sun was shining from a white cloud-flecked sky in a still atmosphere yesterday morning when racegoers converged from Invercargill and various sections of Southland by rail and roadway on the headquarters of the light harness pastime in the Western District to assist at the Winton Trotting Club’s Annual fixture. During the very early hours of the day the weather prospects were in keeping with the abnormally cold, wet and windy conditions ruling earlier in the week, but it was a case of all’s well that ends well, as a more perfect afternoon for outdoor summer sport could hardly be imagined and it is almost unnecessary to add that there was a very satisfactory attendance, the club’s patrons hailing from as far away as Christchurch and Dunedin, while the widespread home province was fully represented. There was a large crowd in evidence and the gate receipts amounted to £2 J 7/-, as compared with £262 last year, an increase of £7B 7/-, a result probably due to the beautiful day and the attraction of a world’s champion pacer attempting to set new record one mile figures for the track, and. incidentally, succeeding. It may be remarked here that it was a happy thought on behalf of his lady owner. Miss E. C. Hinds, to offer the services of the great hoppled performer, Harold Logan, to journey all the way from Christchurch to step an exhibition mile and ~ is told elsewhere how easily and ably he fulfilled his mission in estab lishing-new W.J.C. track figures and how the feat was appreciated by the onlookers, very mam of whom had never seen him in : ction before and were anxious to witness a champion in action. The action of the Winton T.C in staging this historic southern display has also to be commended. The president (Mr A. Baird), a follower of trotting for more years than one cares to remember, and his energetic honorary officials, in conducting the meeting throughout capably and with fair regard to punctuality, have to be congratulated to the full and the hope expressed that the fixture yields a satisfactory monetary return. It was also noticeable that the club’s official patron, the Hon. P. A. de la Perrelle, was an interested spectator. The southern adjuster of light harness handicaps as provided for under the mechanical system now obtaining, Mr M. Fitzgerald, of Gore, was another keen observer whore competition was in question. Fortified by many years of experience in the secretarial department, Mr H. A. Pierce had his arrangements well in hand and it is not going too far to say that at the close of the afternoon it was easy to note that he was satisfied with the result of his labours and with every reason be it said. Following on the race for the Winton Trotting Club Handicap, Mr A. Baird presented the trophy attached to the event. The president of the W.T.C. said the race had been keenly contested and although the result had been a surprise to many, he was pleased that a Southland-bred horse had been successful. Mr Baird then handed the trophy, a case of cutlery, which had been donated by Messrs Milne Bremner and Co., agents for Black and White whisky, to Mr J. Grant, of Gore, who received it on behalf of the owner ot Willow Wave. Mr D. Windle. Mr Grant made a suitable reply. Mr J. Clark then read a letter from Mr J. O’Shannessy, who is at present in Hanmer, thanking the club for the invitation to be present and hand over a stop watch to the trainer of the winner. Mr O’Shannessy wished the club and its patrons a successful meeting. The stop watch, which had been donated by Mrs W. McCormack, of Balclutha, a keen supporter of the club, was then handed to Mr J. Walsh and the function closed with cheers for the horse and his connections.

The totalisator investments for the meeting amounted to £8939, as compared with £7870 last season, an increase of £1069. Had it not been for a combination of unexpected circumstances resulting in a limited field ot four starters in the Farewell Handicap, it is not going too far to say that the machine increase would easily have exceeds_d £l5OO.

The track was in good order, but on the dead side, although it was always improving as the afternoon advanced. The W.J.C.’s grass circuit was not at its best for record-breaking purposes, but it was in excellent shape to race over, and when Harold Logan accomplished his task of setting a new one mile harness record for the course, it was obvious that he could have improved on his 2.11 had his driver so desired. The starting was ably carried out by Mr B. H. Ireland, and Mr J. T. Butler made a satisfactory judge. The South Island stipendiary steward, Mr F. J. Beer, was in attendance, and looked into the running of more than one starter during the afternoon, but found it unnecessary to take decided steps in any instance.

For the South Hillend Handicap Orphan Bingen was favourite for a win lay one hundred and forty-two tokens over Kippagh, Molly King one hundred and thirty-four less backed. For a place Orphan Bingen had thirteen friends more than Kippagh, who was fifty-six ahead of Western Front. Great Patch, Molly King and Daytona lost their respective chances in the getaway. Western Front led out slowly from Clipped Wings, with Kippagh and Orphan Bingen making up fast from the rear. With half a mile gone at the stands Western Front was closely attended by Orphan Bingen, Clipped Wings, Kippagh and Fernlee, the others drifting. Orphan Bingen drew clear trotting to the back from Western Front, Clipped Wings and Kippagh in close order. At the far turn Orphan Bingen was out in front by three lengths going easily, then Clipped Wings and Kippagh. Drawing away at will Orphan Bingen led to the stretch to. win easily by five lengths, Clipped Wings battling on to beat Kippagh by a head for second place, after a hard tussle, while Western Front was fourth, then came Femlee some distance away. Following on two recent successive victories Orphan Bingen always trotted like a winner and was not extended over the last mile. Clipped Wings trotted resolutely throughout and deserved to head the better-fancied Kippagh. The presence of the winner spoiled what might otherwise have been a good saddle event. The investments totalled £783 10/fwin £375, place £4OB 10/-), as compared with £605 last season.

Betting on the Commissioner’s Handicap took a wide range, six of the runners having plenty of support. For a win Chevalier had four tickets more than Fairhaven, who was nineteen ahead of Bright Voyage, Kibo fortyeight less fancied. On the place Bright Voyage had thirteen admirers more than Chevalier, Fairhaven eleven less fancied, seven ahead of the coupled Monty Chimes and Lynwood. From a good start Lady Alwyn, Happy Go Lucky and Lynwood missed, the last-named slightly. Bright Voyage was smartest to begin from Embark, Firecrest, Chevalier, Vacation, Bingen Wrack and Monty Chimes. At the stands a great bunch was headed by Bright Voyage just showing from Vacation, Chevalier, Fairhaven, Firecrest, Bingen Wrack, Monty Chimes and Electric Chimes. As the huge packed field landed into the back stretch Chevalier, Fairhaven and Hard Times in turn appeared to strike trouble. Then Bright Voyage narrowly led Vacation to the far turn, with Lynwood moving up fast attended by Firecrest and Fairhaven. Moving across the top Lynwood was in charge from Bright Voyage, Fairhaven, Bingen Wrack, Electric Chimes. Turning for home Lynwood was being tackled by Fairhaven and Electric Chimes while Monty Chimes came fast, while Bright Voyage again showed up on the rails. Inside the distance B:n--gen Wrack tried to get through, but had to shift his ground to get an opening. In a great race to the judge Bingen Wrack obtained a passage and got up to win under pressure by half a length from Fairhaven, with Monty Chimes a similar distance away third, while Electric Chimes was almost in line (fourth), then followed Firecrest, Black Shadow, Chevalier, Bright Voyage, Lynwood, and Kibo (penalized 48yds) in close-pacing order. The contest almost thioughout furnished one of the most thrilling spectacles witnessed in the southern light harness world for some time past. In handling his second successive winner of the afternoon P. Gallagher displayed initiative and a ready grasp of affairs, otherwise Bingen Wrack would not have got through to win from the somewhat unlucky Fairhaven. Monty Chimes put in a fine run over the last three furlongs, but could not sustain the effort. Several of the contestants were unlucky in the back stretch owing to accidental interference.

The investments totalled 1159 (win £559 10/-, place £599 10/-), as against £777 10/- last season.

The public went strongly for Jimmy De Oro in the Stewards’ Handicap. For a win he had one hundred and eighty-one tokens more than Chechahco, who was forty-one ahead of Nelson Pointer. For a place Jimmy De Oro was eighteen better fancied than Chcchahco, who was fifty-four ahead of Nelson Pointer.

Lindrum failed to get away, and Jimmy de Oro began cautiously. Erin’s Pride showed the way to Chiming Wave, All Sunshine and Man o’ Franz. Passing the enclosures with half a mile gone Erin’s Pride, Chiming Wave, All Sunshine, Man o’ Franz, Chechahco and Jimmy de Oro was the order. In a good race to the back Erin’s Pride was still in command, but racing to the far turn All Sunshine paced to the front attended by Chechahco, Chiming Wave, Jimmy de Oro and Man o’ Franz. Crossing the top All Sunshine, was attended by Chechahco and Jimmy de Oro. On the last bend Jimmy de Oro joined All Sunshine. In the race in Jimmy de Oro easily prevailed to win nicely by a length from All Sunshine, with Chechahco a length off third, and Nelson Pointer handy in fourth place, while Man o’ Franz was next.

The winner left the mark slowly, but was cleverly handled and eventually made up his ground gradually to win with something in reserve. All Sunshine behaved at the barrier and paced well by the way, but had no chance with Jimmy de Oro. Chechahco paced well, and it was noted that the penalized Nelson Pointer (48yds) had no difficulty in seeing out the journey.

The investments totalled £1252 (win £649 10/-, place £603) as again £907 last year. The winner was solidly supported to score.

There was good betting on Winton Trotting Club Handicap with General Wrack favourite for a win by two hundred and thirty-four tokens over Tangatu with a gap of thirty-four to Jimmy de Oro. For a place General Wrack had fifty-one admirers more than Sergeant Dallas with Jimmy de Oro twelve less fancied.

From a good send-off Sergeant Dallas and Nellie Osborne lost ground, and General Wrack was slow to catch his hopples. Margaret Bell adopted the role of pacemaker from Willow Wave, Jimmy de Oro, Tangatu and Nellie Osborne, with Lady Voison moving away correctly. It was a nice race down the back and crossing the top the first time the field was closing up. When the enclosures were passed with a round to go Willow Wave had paced to the fore from Margaret Bell, Tangatu, Jimmy de Oro, Sergeant Dallas and General Wrack, with Nellie Osborne and Lady Voison next. Going down the back Willow Wave was leading Tangatu, Margaret Bell, Sergeant Dallas and Jimmy de Oro. Rounding the far turn Willow Wave was clear of Margaret Bell and Tangatu together, while Sergeant Dallas and Jimmy de Oro were handy—here General Wrack’s position was almost hopeless. Across the top and into the stretch Willow Wave was always holding his own to step on and win well by two lengths from Margaret Bell, who outstayed Tangatu in the straight and beat him by a length for second place, Jimmy de Oro was close up fourth, then came Sergeant Dallas and Nellie Osborne, while General Wrack and Lady Voison were pulled up down the running. Over the last seven furlongs Willow Wave was always going well and staying out the trip in brilliant fashion never left the issue in doubt over he final stages. Owned by the well-known Eastern District sportsman, Mr D. Windle, the Waverley gelding took the stake and trophy attached home to Gore, where he is trained by J. Walsh, who piloted him a confident and welljudged race throughout. The Invercargill mare. Margaret Bell, saw the journey out fairly well and outstayed the more fancied Jimmy de Oro in the stretch. General Wrack, the favourite both ways, never looked to have a chance following on leaving the mark slowly. The investments totalled £1379 (win £6BB, place £691), as against £1469 10/- last season.

Immediately after the principal event the champion gelding pacer Harold Logan, by Logan Pointer' from Ivy Cole (A. Holmes), paced By the galloper Towing, ridden by G. Morton in correct costume was sent against the track one mile record of 2.12 2-5. Stepping stoutly the Christchurch-owned harness crack accomplished his task in the official time of 2.11 (first half 1.7 2-5, second 1.3 3-5). Timed privately Harold Logan went to the half in 1.6 2-5 and came home in 2.10 3-5. The effort aroused keen interest and horse and reinsman were treated, to rolonged applause on establishing a new course record on returning to the birdcage.

The President’s Handicap saw Triangle sent out a good favourite and for a vzin he had two hundred and eightysix friends more than Teviot Downs who was ninety-four ahead of Orphan Bingen. For a place Triangle carried sixteen tickets more than Teviot Downs, Journey’s End thirty-two less supported. AU lined up well, but Teviot Downs, Sunny Gold, and Minstrel left badly

and shortly afterwards Episode and Ballet Boy broke up Kippagh trotted out like a veteran should, followed by Journey’s End, Triangle and Paul Bingen. There was little change over the lap. At the stands with a round to go Kippagh was to the fore from Journey’s End, Triangle and Paul Bingen with a big gap to Orphan Bingen (96 yds pen.) and Teviot Downs. Into the back stretch Kippagh held his own pressed by Journey’s End and Triangle. At six furlongs Journey’s End left his feet and dropped back. Triangle challenged 'the leader and got a run on the rails to head Kippagh. Crossing 'he top Triangle went into the air and Kippagh drew out in control again, while Teviot Downs and then Orphan Bingen made up ground quickly. Leading into the straight Kippagh trotted on with Triangle coming fast, but failing to get up by half a length, while Teviot Downs was five lengths away third, attended by Paul Bingen, then came Orphan Bingen, Journey’s End and Lady Norris. Had he not left his feet Triangle looked to be an almost certain winner, but steadiness was rewarded and Kippagh and his owner-trainer A. McLellan came in for a round of welldeserved applause. The winner returned double figures straightout. The investments amounted to £lll5 10/- (win £565 10/-, place £550), as against £922 last season.

Nelson Pointer was a very hot order for the Speedwell Handicap. For a win Nelson Pointer had two hundred and fifty-four friends more than Lena Bingen who was sixty-one ahead of King Mac. For a place Nelson Pointer had fifty-seven tickets more than Lena Bingen, Margaret Bell twenty-nine less backed. Onoto, Logan Brae, and Gold Era were slow to leave. King Mac, and Nelson’s Fortune dashed out to set a merry main and were four lengths clear turning into the back straight froip Logan Brae, Nelson Pointer and Gold Era. As Nelson’s Fortune and' King Mac paced to the far turn Nelson Pointer moved up fast to join issue a little further on. Racing across the top Nelson Pointer showed out from Nelson’s Fortune, while Kling Mac tangled and lost ground. Leading round the final bend well clear, Nelson Pointer went on to win easily by four lengths from Lena Bingem with Margaret Bell three lengths off third be..ting King Mac by a neck for the place, then came Gold Era. Nelson’s Fortune and Onoto. Beaten back into fourth place in the Steward’s Handicap (harness) over twelve furlongs earliei in the day, the winner came out to saddle to record a very easy success over one mile. It is understood that the connections of Nelson Pointer were asked to explain the horse’s running and the explanation was accepted, evidence of strong support of the stallion at his previous start being forthcoming.

For the Members’ Memorials Handicap Bronze Wave for a win had twenty-five admirers more than Dusky who was sixteen ahead of All Sunshine. On the place Bronze Wave had thirty-two backers more than Dusky. All Sunshine one less fancied. Ozanum was slow to start. Shortly after the field moved off Jane’s Bell (P. Gallagher) fell, and Dusky (Cosgrove) fell over her when going well, while Jolly Drive (E. Mitchell) was interfered with and tipped his reinsman out of the cart. Rollicking Wave dashed to the front and was about eight lengths clear at the far turn from Weary Voyage and Aparima. At the stands, with five furlongs behind Rollicking Wave was still well out in advance from Weary Voyage, Ozanum, Scotfree and Bronze Wave. At the far turn Rollicking Wave was eight lengths clear from Chiming Wave, Bronze Wave, All Sunshine and Ozanum. Crossing the top AH Sunshine came out of the pack in pursuit of Rollicking Wave, while Frank Mac, Bronze Wave and Ozanum also put in good work Rollicking Wave broke badly at the crossing when closely pursued by All Sunshine. In the run home All Sunshine stayed on to win by three lengths from Rollicking Wave, with Bronze Wave a length away third, half a length clear of Frank Mac, then came Ozanum, Chiming Wave and Aparima. The winner, All Sunshine, travelled fast over the final three furlongs to win nicely under the guidance of the well-known Christchurch reinsman, E. C. McDermott, but her success was made easy when Rollicking Wave mixed below the distance. The success of Mr F. L. Price (breeder of the winner) .nd his trainer (H. H. Booth) was popular and admittedly deserved. The investments totalled £1378 10/(win £716 10/-, place £662), as against £916 last year.

Only four runners paraded for the Farewell Handicap and Tangatu was five hundred and fifty -five better supported than Coldwood. Onoto was twenty-one less back, ten ahead of Lady Voisin. Getting away smartly Tangatu at once drew out and very quickly put a gap of twenty yards beyond his nearest attendant, Onoto, who was followed by Coldwood, with Lady Voison in the rear. At the distant turn Onoto tangled and Coldwood went on in second place. Striding out across the top and into the stretch Tangatu paced on to the wire ten lengths clear of Coldwood, with Lady Voison three lengths off in third place. The scratching of Wee Scotty, Desert Maiden, General Wrack and Marie Celeste was a serious misfortune for the club from a pecuniary point of view as it left a field of four starters and Tangatu standing out as a prospective winner. The Christchurchtrained son of Man o’ War had a bloodless victory as he raced to the front early and his trainer had to keep him well under restraint to fine his run in the straight down to a ten lengths success. Coldwood paced well, but he had no chance of giving away 60yds to the favourite. The investments totalled £749 10/- as against £1313 last year, a decrease of £563 10/-. MANAWATU RACING CLUB.
