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.

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.

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.
