Prior to the Avondale meeting Hipo registered a smart gallop, and on the first day he finished a good second to Ohinemuri. so that his form was quite good. The A.R.C. Easter Handicap winner of a few seasons ago retains his pace in a remarkable fashion, but of late years he has not been asked to overdo it, owner-trainer E. Georgo apparently being anxious to retain the services of the black for as long as possible. Hipo claims two engagements to-morrow, in the McInnes Memorial and the Waipu Handicap. In the former event he is set a stern task, but not an impossible one, although his chances read firstclass in the Waipu Handicap, and if reserved for this he should run prominently. • * _

JUMPING SEASON x < GREAT NORTHERN ENTRIES The Great Northern meeting held annually at Ellerslie in June has long since won a place with the most popular fixtures in the Racing Calendar. That the Auckland Racing Club is determined that the winter gathering shall not lose any of the fame that has appropriately come to it pointed evidence is forthcoming in that the sum of £13,800 is offered as prize-money The approaching meeting is fixed to be held on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, June 1, 3 and 5. Nominations for the following events close on Friday next, April 19, at 5 p.m., with the secretary, Mr. W. S. Spence: Great Northern Hurdle Race of £1,750 (25 miles), Cornwall Handicap of £I,OOO (14 miles).

Lowry, of a yearling colt by "the imported Phalaris horse Legionaire from the imported mare Bees in Amber, by Honey Bee—Miss Desmond, by Desmond—Sonata, by Petrarch. This colt was bred at the now dispersed Kingsfield (N.S.W.) Stud and was secured at 725 guineas. It was also to_ Mr. Roulston’s bid. acting under Instructions from Mr. G. D. Greenwood, the well-kn&wn Canterbury owner, that the Saltash—Aries colt was knocked down at 525 guineas.
