Latest .arrivals .include Black Duke, j Valves, Airtight, .Mister Gamp, Haver- ■ ing, Hunting Call'and Zippor.- ■ ■ TURF TOPICS. (By “Moturoa.”) Amouniis and In-the Shade were re-, cently c.oupled for £20,000 in the Ep- i som and Metropolitan Handicaps rc<spec- j tively. . i - . - # ' «■ * * «- Imar'ofiebud (Romeo—lmaribbon) had no difficulty in disposing of the President’s Handicap field, at the Wcstralian Hunt Club meeting on July .26.-Twenty • two started. On the same day the Tria. | Stakes were won by Mentone (Sutala Ventura). After, her recent poor efforts, Miss Pat (Acre —Sartovna) struck form at the Orara meeting on July 23 and won both the opening handicap and the President’s Handicap. >:> « « Chit (Paper Money—Marty) has been showing goocDform at the pony meetings for some time and was at a nice price when she won the first division of the Maiden Handicap at the Victoria Park meeting on July 26. • # * * In the same event Wild Time (Catmint —Shebang) ran second, two lengths behind Chit. Wild Time could not have been wreatly fancied, for she started at 10’s, but this filly showed good form in New Zealand and looks' certain to nay her way at the pony gatherings; Starting a second favourite in tho fourteen hands handicap at the Kensington ponies’on July 23, the Solferino— Sundance' mare Fun and Fancy scored nicely. Sundance wan by Sunny Lake from Snowana; who traces back to Mufiket. # * * * Judging by Limerick’s appearance when he stepped off the steamer at Sydney, Australian writers agree that the once idol of the Turf never looked better. The Limond gelding had been showing all his-old brilliance on the tracks at° Riccarton, and it seems to be only a matter of his remaining sound to considerably augment his fine winning total on this 'trip.

Michaela’s Daughter, A two-year-old filly by Solferino from Michaela, in F. W. Ellis’ Invercargill stable, is making good progress in her education, writes “Vedette.” She i« small, but ehows a lot of quality, while she shapes, like being a worthy successor to her well-performed dam. The filly has been named Elvira, from the role of that name in Mozart's opera. “Don Giovanni,” and as the youngster’s dam was named after Michaela in “Carmen,” the nomenclature is apt. Still They Go. The Oamaru trainer J. Rct=fl has purchased the Songbird gelding Meadow Lark, and with a couple of maiden horses will embark on a campaign in Australia. Meadow Lark, who ranks o.s one of the best sprinters in New Zealand, Jias been trained by Ross for Mr. J. Lindsay. Meadow Lark is now six years old/ He did not race at two years, und won £195 m stakes at.tineo-years, and £ltHG’ at four years. ’’ The 1 season

just closed saw him score eight.wins and 11 placings for £2289 in stakes; His total stake winnings amount to £4OOO. Wdterline a Winner. More than ordinary interest is at-, tached to the news that 'in. Melbourne Waterline has won his first race. This was the Malakoff .Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday, a handicap of GOO govg. (450 sov<s. to the winner), nine furlongs. Waterline-appears in the list of acceptors as top weight with 8.10. Amanthus (8.2) w.-ifi second, and Sartareso (6. 12) was third. .He started at . what his Riccarton and New Zealand admirers would regard as a very good price, and no doubt the people who paid the substantial sum of 2000 gms..,for him now feci satisfied with their bargain. • . In the Shade Wins. The cable has been curiously silent regardijio week-end racing results from Australia, writes .“The .Watcher.” In. Sydney there was a meeting at Warwick Farm on Saturday, arid a. Bank Holiday fixture at Moorfield on Monday. At both places several of, the. New Zealandeis, now in. Sydney were acceptors. There was also racing in Melbourne, but the only result Ney'’.Zealanders were allowed to read about was the win of Mogs-' trooper in the Australian Hurdles race. From t-hb Ulimar.oa a-copy of the .ship’s Wireless News ...reveals -that there were one or two.results decidedly interesting to Dominion racegoers.'-. At., War wick Farm the'' principal’ race, the Warwick... August’ Handicap, a mile and a ivas won, bv In .the Shade, carrying top-, weight, •9.4*, with two other Ne w . Zealanderes; Becalmedland?-Lord .Romeo, in the .m'nor ■ places. In the Shade started at what would be regarded as a satis•factory priqp,"slightly, better than the best dividend recorded at the Christ - Church' Hunt meeting, at Riccarton . on Saturday. The only other mention of New Zealan.dcrs at ..the meeting is that .Webster's charge, ran.
