The headquarters has been in Christchurch since 1898. VICTORIAN RACING INQUIRY. fiy Tek'i'rayh Press As.:n.—Copyright. Rec. 8.10 p.m. Melbourne, July 17. Mr. A. V.

A. ' Tabart. OVER THE FENCE. ■ (By “Paritutu.”) Bradmau’s evening amusement, the ' cables tell us, consists of whistling and I listening to his phonograph records. The I poor young fellow seems to be “in ’ 1 night and day. ~ # * A horse named “What About It” won a race in Australia the other day, and, from all accounts, the bookmakers knew all about it when it came to paying our. # # © Queer sub-headings to a par, relating to a steer-riding competition in Gisborne: “Four Competitors Seriously Injured”; “British Footballers Entertained.” # * # * English cricketer Hobbs may have lost some of his ability as a batsman, but the typiste reckons that he was badly treated bv Bradman, who “threw him out.” » # * # According to southern reports, the brilliant Pink Coat has failed to stand a preparation. Fortunately the son of Hunting Song has been left entire and his days of usefulness are not over. # # =» * A Shanghai cablegram states that the Ministry of Education is insisting on a uniform language in Chinese schools. I’m in favour of it; a chap can’t understand a word these Chinese speak nowadays. • « * Rosshire is an exceptionally big two-year-old, but his seconds at Trentham were full of promise and he should prove a good winner next season. -.-f -» if # Listening-in to the Maori concert on Tuesday evening one could not but be impressed by the serious planner in which the interpreter intoned the message, “The Sun is Up.” It’s the only thing which is up -in New Zealand at present. # » * -5> At a returned soldiers’ smoke-o 'the other evening a serious colonel, who occupied the chair, “called the roll,” unit •by unit. “Now, I think that is all,” he said in conclusion. Then there came a machine-gun batch of suggestions: “What about the C.B.’s?” “Any A.W.L.’s here?” and “Military Police! ’Shun!” The only one who was not convulsed was the colonel. # . * iff # The New Zealand trainer B. Burgess. , who is now visiting Sydney, has been unfortunate with Austerity, who has broken down. Austerity will probably be returned to the Dominion in the near future. • Other members of Burgess’ team are doing well in their preparation. # =# * '# According to recent American files. 69,000,000 dollars (about £12.000.000) passed through the pari-mutuel machines in less than 100 days racing in the Maryland circuit last season. New Jersey, which does not allow horse racing, is. envious of the Great amount of revenue collected by Maryland through the ' turf. # « » * j The victory of Carinthia, in the Win- i ter Hurdles and his third in the Tren- > tham Hurdles places Messrs W. H. and j C. L. Orbell at the top of the winning ■ owners’ list for the meeting with £750. t Mangani’s Wellington Steeplechase win > was worth £7OO to Messrs. Bradney and I Wood, and other good winners at the _ meeting were Messrs J. Beattie £5OO. j T. A. Duncan £490, R. E. Hatch £430. j A. P. Easton £420 and F. F. Newman £420.

One rising three-year-old which has been marked off as an early winner on a dry track is Ganpat. It is stated that A. MeCormac is like--ly to. accompany- J. Fryer’s team to Australia and will do the heavy riding for that stable.

Mr. T. C. Trautwein, who gave a record: price for Chide, is not having any Detter luck with his other New Zealand purchase. Eden Hall, states the New Zealand Herald. The Quin Abbey gelding has had two minor placings recently when well backed. He was made a good favourite for the Canterbury Handicap, 1 mile 3 furlongs, on the strength of a trial at Randwick, and when ho took the lead at the half-mile and turned for home well ahead his success seemed assured. However, Murillo, an English importation, who has a Metropolitan Handicap to his credit.’ •wore him down in the straight, and then Flinders, a consistent Sea Prince gelding, in W. Kelso’s stable, flashed up on the outside to win by a good length. Eden Hall was another one and a-half lengths further back. He does not put any dash into his finish. To Row And Ride.

The Christchurch lightweight jockey, A. Eastwood, who is accompanying the' New Zealand rowing team to Canada, may do a little riding while in the North American Dominion. Enthusiasts here have got into touch with Canadian racing authorities with this in view, and Eastwood has obtained a clearance from the New Zealand Racing Conference.

Wrong Flag Hoisted. ■Backers of Havering received a shock at Trentham on Saturday through the hoisting of a wrong flag, states the Referee. After Havering had won the Onslow Handicap an objection was lodged against his being awarded the stake on the ground that he was trained by an unlicensed trainer. The objection was lodged by one of the connections of Prince of Orange, who ran second, but was withdrawn shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, interested backers had looked up their race books and had found that tho signal for- protest upheld was. a blue Hag, and that for protest withdrawn a brown flag. When the blue flag went up, many presumed that backers of Havering had lost, their money, but very shortly it was hauled down and replaced by the brown flag. Prior -to the withdrawal of the protest speculation was rife as to the reason for the objection, and fanciful theories of happenings in tho race were advanced by gentry with high power field glasses and still higher power imaginations.
