Thompson had thirteen rides during the .three davs of the Great Northern meeting, and his actual riding fees amounted >to £221 2s': Of the amount his two seconds on Kawini brought in £Bl, while his win or Kendal was worth £G3, and on Greekson £3l 10s, A second on Glenidl' earned him £9, and his> other fees were for losing mounts. ** * * Mi- A. N. Gibbons has sold Tal l ViWier to Mr E. Montgomery, of Auckland. * *'. * * A half-brother by Catmint to Merry Bamon is pleasing the traek-watcherf a.t Hastings, and is expected to do well in two-year-old races next season, tp * # « Master Sandstone and Warhaven aire to b e Southland's Winter Cup candidates. Master Sandstone was not started at tho. Dundein meeting because his owner and' the hand'icapi per were not in concord. So far no-t'-Thang hais been heard of iha owlrier's arrfication to the Bunedin Jbokev Cilub for an explanation of th© handicapping. * *. *_ ♦ It is reported that Nadairiiio and Nfcrtfc are under offer t 0 Australian buyers. ** * * The Auckland-owned Ruan'V figured as starter in the Newcastle Mile, run on M'av 26. According to th© "Sydney Referee." ho was badly rfarVld at the start, and he failed to , ea.'n a place. Ruapapa did not contest .the Newcastle Cup. * * * St The Southland owner. Mr E. M. Ru&sefll has disposed of Listening Post, but his colours will be carried in, th© near future by a sister to his late representative. Rasing three years, she has grown and furnished into a fin© big filly, and bears a striking likeness to Listening Pest iu every way. She will go into F. W. Ellis's ■stabile to be educated and gob ready for racing next season. ** * * _ P. B. Jones, the Ri'carton trailer, is reported tr, b© busy with Limerick Young Loohivar, Battlement, a/nid Reonui, with a view to an early departure for Sydney. •-, , * A * *' The veteran hurdler, Vagabond, wh© as la 5-year-old won the N.Z. C'uo of 1919, Continues to get through olemtv of useful work at Riocarton, and though he sports an ugly looking •leg, he seems to go quite soundly on it. & $ lit i;t Stan Reid. the onertime Maori! and but now Victoria' oross-oountry rider and trainer, has in his stable a very nromrising hurdler in Sha/nti, who easi lv won the Federal Hurdle, Race, two m!](!es, at the latest Moonee Valley meeting. Shanti is being spoken of a ? a possible Grand National winner. * 4 $ ill Mr G. F. Moore has sent Rjeremoana back to Trainer Oney Oox to h r get ready for spring engagements and tlie well-performed HaUowmar "■elding will he seen out at Wanganuin September, m the New Zealand Eslinso Stakes, probably being giyw ran on the first dav to sharpen hit" Tip. Mr Moore has also sent to Co--«i half-brother, bv Liniond, to Gail •lard. * (I St ID Th© racehorse Tari had t«, l*e detroved on Saturday at Opotild. owiikto the faicb that he eat a lee' sev--ereiy or. barbwire. He had nearly recovered from an earlier accident aaid *

was about to be turned out but again ..ofc tangled, in n fence. Tait had „>rovec.: a, useful horse. He won the .Vhakatane Cup and a. race at Tau.anga last season. •, " ;, «t # i*c i(t All going well Llewellyn, Thursby, und Birkenella will be taken south -o race at the Wellington meating. *• * * In the Wellington Steeplechase- next .nonth no horse will bo handicapped or penalised to carry more than 12.7. ** * * Bachelor Gay has been -oing on the right way since rejoining Wai'e's scabies at Wingatui, but is not quite so robust looking as he might be alter an extended spell. He is building up, aixl seems to bo quite sound aga'ui in the stifle joint which lie . damaged in his last race. ■.* * * * That good horse Rosedav bus been at Wingatui. He is quite sound at present, but it is doubtful if he will stand the; necessary preparation to lit him for hard racing again. * * * * Loughrea has nominated for the Melbourne Cup. He was also put Hi the big race a year ago, but he did not make the trip. ] n f, act , ]i C ] ias done no racing anywhere this season. ** * * Megan was sor« after racing at Otaki and she is on the easy list for a lew days. ** * # Za,ragoz a . is on the easy list tdnce she returned from the Auckland meeting. She was lame on the trip and she may not race again until sh e has had a spell. * * * The Auckland-owned gelding Bustler, who was in a, very unsound state after contesting the Graiidstaiwl Steeplechase at Wanganui last month, and who had to be left to recruit his health, is stater] to have made a good recovery and he will probably be sent to Auckland at an early date. ** * * All going well, I). Moraghau will take Master Boon down to Trent-ham t 0 compete at the Wellington winter meeting. Another - Aueklander booked to race at the fixture is Kendal. A recent addition to the brigade of workers at Ellersh'e is a five-year-old mare by Arehiestown. She is being looked after by W. Patterson. f* * * Tall Timber Ims gone iht o J. Buchanan's stable at EiJerslic. * * * FJi Timi and Scat were shipped to Sydney yesterday. They will be ridden in their engagements on the other side by M. M'Garten -when the weights suit. * •:;:- * The success of the Hurry Up colt Coronach in the English Derby should wive an extra fillip to the demand, for the sendees of Mr Gan« Garrinetou's (GisbornC) imported stallion Hunting Song by the same sire. Kilce-it has been cased up, :vnd is •lot likely to ra.ee again until the spring. Alter winning over six fur'ongs at Egmont, B. Burgess' mare seemed to Jose her usual dash. ** * * From now on. Sir Wat will race over 'he steeplechase country, and r p *»nt ••cheoling has put R. Knox's gelding n a forward condition,. *# * * Both Star Shell and Santonio were "■lioaled over hurdler, nt Awapuni.
