NOTES BY SIR MODRED. Avondale Jockey Club’s Autumn meeting will be brought to a close today. The Reef ton Jockey Club’s Autumn fixture (one day) will take place this afternoon. Victoria Amateur Turf Club will stage an attractive meeting at Caulfield on Saturday. The sum of £2500 will be distributed in stakes at Forbury Park Trotting Club’s next meeting. The presence of Walla Walla and other cracks at F.P.T.C. Winter races will be very welcome. Ashburton and Thames Trotting Clubs will conduct interesting meetings on Saturday next. It is proposed to invite Walla Walla’s appearance at Forbury Park on Saturday, May 5. Win and place wagering was in demand at the recent successful Australian J.C. meeting. Tlte clear air of Central Otago at Eo£ter was appreciated by Water Polo, who won two events. It is stated in Sydney that Silver Scorn appears to race better for S. Cracknell than J. Pike. Onkaparinga (S.A.) onc-day fixture, on Easter Monday, the public attendance was 35,000. A maiden galloping event, with a stake of £35 at Otautau R.C. meeting this month, docs not present an attractive aspect to a number of owners and trainers. The King’s Cup contest at Randwick on Saturday resulted in a half-head win for Rogilla from Peter Pan, with Kuvcra almost in line with his two rivals—a record finish for the race.

Water Polo could have been purchased for £2O prior to the recent Beaumont meeting, then he went out and proceeded to win two races of £B9 and £7O respectively.

Some fine day Water Polo, by Pombal (imp.)—Waterwings, five-year-old, may come down from Central Otago to the lowlands to upset Otago or Southland backers.

Marconigram, an English sire who promises to make good in Australia, is by Abbot’s Trace (Tracery) from Marcia Blanche, by Lemberg—Lindal (dam of Limond). Youngster colt Subsidy, who has been racing well in Sydney of late, is by Fernkloof—Binara, by Malt King—Czarcona (dam of Anna Carloona N.Z.) by Stcpniak.

One of a brilliant Nev/ Zealand tribe of gallopers, an almost forgotten gelding from Mr G. M. Currie’s Wanganui stud, turned up a winner at the Brighton (Tasmania) meeting on Easter Saturday. This was Farrago, by Absurd (imp.) from Leta, by Ayr Laddie from Leading Lady, by Grafton from Drama, by Trenton. Foaled in 1524, Farrago ranks as a younger fullbrother to Thespian (well in the limelight of late as the sire of Wanganui crack Jonathan) and a great galloper in his day. Thespian, by the way, first saw the light of day in 1918. In his winning essay at Brighton Farrago was an outsider in the ring and returned a nice place price on fiveshilling tickets—win and plat _ betting and five-shilling tickets are used in Tasmania.

It transpires that Mr W. T. Hazlett’s Invercargill string produced two run-ners-up on the opening day of Melbourne's Easter racing reunion, held by the Williamstown R.C. on March 31, but went one better on Easter Monday at the two-days’ fixture, when Sir Simper prevailed, as has already been reported in these columns. In the Handicap Maiden Plate, £250, second £5O, third £25 (Im.) on Saturday, the winner, Seignor Grand, by Dignity •—Seignorina, Syrs, 7.10 (H. Sharpe), who ranked as third fancy, defeated second favourite Sir Simper (Grand Knight—Simper) 7.4 (E. Preston) by a head, in I.4l—there was a field of seventeen runners, and Sir Simper came from the rear. In the following event, Werribee Welter, £250, second £5O, third £25 (one mile), the first favourite, Kitty O'Shea (Wolaroi— Lydia), 6yrs, 8.2 (R. Heather) beat second selection, Chief Light (Chief Ruler—lllume), syrs, 7.9 (E. Preston) by a head in 1.40', —there was a field of fourteen runners. On Easter Monday, the Three-Ycar-Old Handicap, £350, second £7O, third £35 (one mile) went to the second favourite, Mr W. T. Hazlett’s ch c Sir Simper (Grand Knight imp.—Simper imp.) 6.8 (H. OlAen), who won by two lengths from C. T. Godby’s Excelic 8.8 (W. Elliott) and Blue Shot 8.4 (R. Bailey) in a field of twelve —winner trained by T. Platt. The first selection was Break Up 8.7 (E. Preston), with Sir Simper second in demand. There was £1931 10/- on the win machine, and the place totalisator carried £1928, while a strong ring was operating where the bookmakers congregated. Sir Simper carved out the mile in 1.39 J.

In commenting on the opening day 6f the Williamstown R.C. Easter meeting, “Sandown,” of The Australasian, comments as follows, under the heading of “New Zealand Horses Fair : — “Mr W. T. Hazlett, a member of the New Zealand Racing Conference, races on a large scale in the Dominion, and has won races here with Ruling Light and other horses. At Williamstown he was represented by Chief Light in the Werribee Welter and by Sir Simper in the Handicap Maiden Plate. Both were well supported, but Mr Hazlett had to be content for each of them to fill second place. Seignor Grande, winner of the Handicap Maiden Plate, had such a commanding lead when the straight was reached that he appeared likely to go on to a comfortable victory, but Sir Simper finished so vigorously that he suffered , defeat by Seignor Grande by only a head.” The same writer remarks in connection with the second day’s proceedings: “Sir Simper Atones.”—“On several occasions Break Up has acquitted himself well against older horses. On Saturday, at Williamstown, he did remarkably well to finish third in the Easter Stakes, and backers were greatly enamoured of his chance in the Three-year-old Handicap. But Break Up, who was favourite at favourable odds against, gave an unimpressive performance, and failed to gain a place. With Staghorn and Blue Shot he occupied a good position when the field had settled down, but it was apparent that he had. little chance of success when the home turn was reached. Here Excelic and Blue Shot appeared to have the race between them, but Sir Simper was too strong in the straight, and he won easily from Excelic. Blue Shot hung on well, and was a close third. Sir Simper was narrowly defeated by Seignor Grande in the Maiden Plate on Saturday.” Readers will note that the apprentice jockey E. Preston rode Sir Simper and Chief Light when they were beaten on Easter Saturday, but he would not be available on Monday, as he rides for the stable which shelters the favourite, Break Up.

It is freely rumoured in northern light harness circles that when Worthy Queen scored in the opening event of the recent N.Z. M.T.C.’s Easter meet-

ing, Preliminary Handicap (harness), trotters, assessed at 3.32 or better (IJm) and started as twelfth selection, she was not altogether fancied by her connections. Racing for her reinsman, J. S. Shaw, she returned a reward exceeding half a century, but there was a different story to tell on the concluding day of the meeting, when the mare set new world’s race figures for twelve furlongs. On the second occasion Worthy Bingen’s descendant was a winning first selection, with the wagering under the single-pool system. Worthy Queen went 3.15 3-5 in her first race from 108yds, and 3.14 1-5 from 60yds at her second attempt in a tighter class.

The announcement from Sydney to the effect that Shakuni was disposed of at auction at Randwick to Mr E. Shaw, of South Australia, at 325 guineas, is of interest. The juvenile colt referred to was a smart racehorse when campaigned from G. Price’s stable last season to win three good youngster events in ten starts, he was unplaced on three occasions. He is a younger full brother to consistent Kuvcra, by Brazen (imp.)—Varta Mozzle, and cost “Mr F. Smithden,” who has just quitted him 900 guineas as a yearling. He cannot owe his late owners anything, as the gentlemen who race under the assumed name quoted do not really wager on their representatives. It is more than likely that Shakuni will go to the stud in South Australia shortly.

In future dividends at all meetings conducted by the South Australian Jockey Club will be computed on the half-a-crown multiple, but bettors also will be accommodated at £2 10/- and 10/- windows. It will do away with congestion at the windows in different sections. Dividends will be calculated on the basis of 65 per cent, to the winner, 20 per cent, to the second horse, and 15 per cent, to the third, and they will apply where there are ten or more starters. Most of the other clubs in South Australia, where three dividends are available, pay 60 per cent, to the first horse, and 20 per cent, to each placed horse. With five-shilling tickets available in Melbourne and half-a-crown tickets issued at Adelaide totalisators it would appear that the racing authorities in Australia are awakening to the demands of the great general public and the necessity to compete against betting away from the courses. In New Zealand many managers of racing clubs slumber on, oblivious to the signs of the times in which we live.

In her recent world’s race record (standing start) effort in winning the N.Z.M.T.C.’s High-Class Handicap (harness), of £250, class 3.27 or better (one mile and a-half), Worthy Queen was officially timed at 3.14 1-5. Reliable private timekeepers, and there are a number to be found at Addington on race-days, men who know every yard of the six furlong clay circuit and its marks, made the daughter of Worthy Bingen step much faster and round about 3.11 3-5. The special correspondent of this paper, a watch-manipulator who has no superior at Christchurch light harness headquarters as a timestcr and who concentrated on Worthy Queen, made Mr J. R. Corrigan’s leased trotter record 3.11 3-5, or from post to post 3.9, with her last mile covered in 2.5 flat. The latter time for the final eight furlongs was confirmed by a number of experts. The official figures of 3.14 1-5 are what count, however. but southern readers w'ho understand the game will be interested and impressed by the figures quoted as emanating from the ranks of experienced and favourably-placed professional onlookers.

At the Onkaparinga R.C. meeting in South Australia on Easter Monday, the most important one-day fixture in Australia was a success, with bookmakers betting straightout prices and the one-pool (two dividends) method of totalisator investment in operation. The Great Eastern Steeplechase, £2OOO (three and a-quarter miles) was won by the first favourite Kengin, by Kenilworth (imp.)—Jennie Eaton, aged 10.11 (A. Fullarton), with Woodlace (10.5) and Gunstani (9.2) in the places. Kenjin won by ten lengths, six lengths between second and third. A field of sixteen started, including the South-land-bred gelding Night Jester (10.9), who had been brought all the way from West Australia for the race, and went out as third selection. Night Jester (Night Raid —Killalea) was one of the six competitors who fell by the way. The first favourite, Aloxite, also won the valuable Onkaparinga Cup (Im. 3f). A short price was paid on the fiveshilling double totalisator on the Cup and Steeplechase—the double machine also paid out a second price, which was much better than that returned for the winning combination.

Reports by the latest mail from Australia are to the effect that the great champion galloping miler, Chatham, is to be relegated to the stud next season. No decision has been made as to the breeding place at which the son ol Windbag will commence his stud career, but it is reported that several well-known studmasters are anxious to secure his services. If the intention to relegate this sound and brilliant performer to the stud in the spring is carried into effect, he will then rank as a six-year-old. The success of the colonial-bred stallions, Heroic and Windbag, has probably aroused a keen demand for Chatham as a prospective sire, and rightly so, as will be admitted by New Zealanders who have followed the fortunes of Nigger Minstrel, Thespian, Balboa and Winning Hit on Maoriland’s winning sires’ list of late years—all round Balboa leads with a G.N. Steeplechase (Snowfall), G.N. Hurdle Race (Membo), Winter Cup (Mount Boa), Great Autumn Handicap (The Smuggler) and Dunedin Cup (Mount Boa and Queen Balboa) to his credit, a very great record of stoutness and brilliance inherited from a noted racehorse progenitor.

The practice of some of the smaller racing clubs in making special arrangements with owners for the payment of nomination and acceptance fees has recently come under the notice of the New Zealand Racing Conference, and the executive of that body has written to all clubs advising that it viewed with disapproval and as contrary to the rules that nominations should be accepted without fee on the understanding that it would be paid if the horse accepted, and also that acceptance fees would not be claimed if the horse did not start. The practice v/as not fair to the owners who were unaware of the privilege, and, being contrary to Conference rules, action would be taken with clubs so acting.

Peter Bingen, winner of two New Zealand Trotting Cups, is again in work at Tamahere, says the Auckland Herald. His owner, Mr W. Johnstone, stated at Hawera that Peter Bingen, who while in the paddock keeps himself fit by constant galloping, is doing fine work over sprint courses. In the event of Walla Walla being engaged at the Waikato Trotting Club’s meeting next month, Mr Johnstone said he would be prepared to pit Peter Bingen against the Australian over a mile. When trained by J. J. Kennerley, Peter Bingen was a first-class racehorse, and besides winning the New Zealand Cup twice he also won the National Cup. the New Zealand Gold Cup at Wellington, and the Free-for-All at Addington in 2min. 38 4-ssec, time that stood as a record for some time. Peter Bingen has not been seriously raced for some years, and as he is rising 14 years, he could hardly be expected to make a showing against a horse like Walla Walla, who has been kept in

regular work and has had a lot of racing this season. Peter Bingen is a peculiar horse to handle, and Kennerley was the only trainer who had any notable success with him. REEFTON JOCKEY CLUB.

BOWLS THE BOYLE CUP. On Monday evening a rink from the R.S.A. Club, Invercargill, journeyed to Otautau to play a match for the Boyle Cup. The heavy rain in the early part of the day made the green holding; nevertheless it played fairly well. The game was a very even one for the first half, when the score stood at 11—5 in favour of the visitors, who then took charge and never looked back, the game ending in their favour. In handing over the trophy at the conclusion of the game Mr Saxelby congratulated the visitors on their win, and mentioned that it was pleasing that a new club had secured the cup. The local rink had been outplayed and the better team had won. In accepting the cup on behalf of the Invercargill rink, Mr T. Battersby said it was the first time he had played on the Otautau green, and he congratulated the club on its playing surface. He trusted this game would be the forerunner of many others. Messrs Stone, Buchanan and Parmenter endorsed his remarks and hoped the Otautau R.S.A. rink would compete for the trophy next year. It was decided to suggest to the Centre that a board or parchment be secured with the object of keeping a record of the winners of the trophy. Following were the scores:— I. O. W. Stone, G. W. Parmenter, A. Buchanan, T. Battersby 22 — A. Milne, A. Fisher, H. Chandler, G. B. Saxelby — 11

During the last financial year the British Post Office made a profit of more than 11,000,000; this is the highest profit the post office has ever made.

WAIMATE RACING CLUB. HANDICAPS FOR ANNUAL MEETING. (Per United Press Association.) Waimate, April 10. The following are the handicaps for the Waimate Racing Club's Autumn meeting on April 19: — STUDHOLME HIGHWEIGHT HANDICAP, £75. One and a-quarter miles.

HARRIERS INVERCARGILL CLUB. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Invercargill Harrier Club was held on Monday evening, Mr W. Torrance presiding. Before proceeding with the business of the meeting, the chairman welcomed several new members, stating in the course of his remarks that indications pointed to a record pack this season. He earnestly urged all members to support the runs throughout the season and to do their best to build up the club strength. The following officials were elected: Club captain, Mr W. Pickard; deputycaptain,' Messrs J. Bremner (reelected), G. Ker and H. Canning; general committee. Messrs W. Pickard, R. J. Smith, E. Moyle, G. Ker and secretary and treasurer; handicapper, Mr E. Moyle. The opening run was fixed for Saturday next, the pack to be the guests of Mr and Mrs T. Meredith for the afternoon.

Tlie following new members were proposed: Messrs J. Chaplin, R. Watson, J. Metcalfe, G. Metcalfe, R. Crowther, C. Mayne, D. Cameron, J. Flynn, G. Witt, J. Stephenson and G. Elliott. A tribute was paid to the fine work of Mr E. Moyle, the retiring captain. It was stated that much of the credit for the excellent season experienced last year was due to his good work and the chairman expressed to Mr Moyle the club’s appreciation of his efforts. Mr E. Moyle suitably replied. BADMINTON THE OTAUTAU CLUB. ANNUAL MEETING. (From Our Correspondent.) The annual meeting of the Otautau Badminton Club was held on Monday evening, when there was a good attendance, over which Dr. Reekie (president) presided. The report stated that last winter a public meeting was held with a view to forming a Badminton Club in Otautau. The meeting was well and enthusiastically attended and it was unanimously decided by those present to form a local club. The Otautau Ladies’ Hockey Club, having disbanded and finding funds still on their hands, donated a full set of playing material. This generous action, for which the committee took this opportunity of publicly thanking the ex-members of the Hockey Club, served to place the club in a position to begin activities almost at once. The Town Hall was hired for two nights a week and a doubles court was marked down for immediate play. As none of the members had played badminton before, they were very fortunate in being able to take advantage of the services of Mr H. Macpherson as club captain and coach, and thanks were due to him for the manner in which he executed these duties and the interest he took in club affairs throughout the season. It was no doubt due to his encouragement and advice that so many players improved considerably during their first year. It was decided later in the season that, owing to increasing membership, a singles court should be marked in the Town Hall and two new racquets and a net be purchased. Pingpong and other games were played by those waiting their turn on the courts and the nights passed enjoyably for all concerned. During the year a team from Lochiel came over to Otautau for a friendly game and were defeated by the local side, but on returning the visit later in the season the Otautau players were well beaten on the Lochiel courts. Two Yankee tournaments were held during the year. At the end of the season an extended night was held. Two keen members, Miss B. Stevens and Mr Gordon Smith, left the town during the season, and on both occasions the opportunity was taken at social functions to thank them for their endeavours on behalf of the club and to wish them goodbye and good luck in their new spheres. The balancesheet showed that after having bought extra equipment during the past season and having paid for a few extras usually incurred at the commencement of any club’s activities, the balance of cash in hand was £1 16/6, which was considered very satisfactory by the committee. Thanks were due to Mr H. Laing, who gave the use of his tearooms for meetings, and the committee wished to thank all members for their whole-hearted support. The chairman stated the report was a very comprehensive one and covered the activities of the club for the year. There was a possibility that clubs would be formed at Tuatapere and Riverton this year, and this would entail more matches, which should add interest to the game. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. ! The following office-bearers were elected: President, Dr. Reekie; vicepresidents, Messrs Silverwood, G. Smith and F. Duncan; joint secretaries, Messrs T. Macpherson and J. von Tunzleman; general committee, Mrs Reekie, Misses Stroud and Stevens, Dr. Reekie, Messrs Silverwood, G. Smith, F. Duncan, H. Macpherson and J. von Tunzleman; selection committee, Dr. Reekie, Messrs Macpherson, Silverwood and G. Smith; coach, Mr H. Macpherson; floor sub-committee. Messrs Macpherson. Simpson, Silver-

wood and von Tunzleman, Misses Duncan, Chilton and E. Laing. It was resolved that the subscription be 2/6, and that the official opening night be Tuesday, April 24. It was also decided to have ladies’ and men’s ladders. , . . A vote of thanks to the retiring secretary, Mr R. B. Whitehead, was carried with acclamation.
