W.: Pine's team consisting of Stop-: meter. Glenfield, and Allen. Water, have recovered from their colds bontracted at the National meeting, and are in light work again. John Biinyan and Mademoiselle Ixe in J; Lindsay's stable, are both lookiDg.Teally well, and they are moving freely in their work' on the tracks. S. ; . Trilford's Nelson-Dudu colt, is. a Teiy promising sort, and he hits out in Kreat.style- when being sprinted. With uny luck at all ho must- be a good stake earner. Freak succeeded in his second attempt over .hurdles at the Waimate Hunt' meeting, but he was all" out to beat .Bay:. Lupin, who has lost all form. C. Jenkins, the well-known jockey, has 'received a large retainer to ride for air E; J./ Watt this season. W. Young takes tip Jenkins's place as first horseman lor J. H. Pressor's Porirua staible. JJandierUj , Messrs Stead Bros', re—presentatire in the Australian Derby,iias not impressed the Sydney turf writers as a stayer, -and they are of the Opinion that sprinting- is his forte. Itaitgi Thompson, who rode Paritutu to Tictory in the National, goes to Australia with Hoanga to ride the Lethe gelding in his engagements across the water. ■ The' last has 'been "seen of Provobaboh colours up ,as Mr BiiiWiU has ' decided to retire his {• no. thoroughbred to the stud. - Sinapis has been taken in hand by H.-Fietcher, at Tauhercnikau. -Thisbt. Ambrose—Prologue mare has filled cutfiato it fine specimen of the thoroughbred, and. should,.in the ordinary course of events, do Mr A. R. Currant/ her owner, some useful service tins season. _ Mr. C. 8.-Pharazyu lias three, promising youngsters that are "under orders fori Australia. They are as follows; A yearling- chestnut filly by Elevation—spoil, and two fillies "by Achilles from Good. Intent, and Spoil respectively. The 1 trio -are. very ■ promising, - being well-put together, with plenty of bou« and substance.. Close on three inndred horses are in work at - Remington. Racing has--a on Victorian sporting follr." A New "Zealand friend ' writes as under to "Mili-oy," of the Sydney : "Mail": —"If Lady Medallist gets into Eome of tEe~lbrui sue showed here early in .the season, nothing in the CaulMd Gup .wfttTover Sst 51b will bother the St._ AlwySe. mare. Be sure of that. J You haven't been treated to an exhibi- ■ tion of her rare turn of pace in Aus- j traliir She - can hump weight: some. A glance at her performanees here proves'that." - * . The stake for the.Thousand Pound Trot to be run at Richmond in Nov-ember,-under the -auspices of'the Mel-: bourne Trotting Club will be divided among the- first- sis horses as follows: —First horse £7OO, second horse £125, third horse £SO, fourth horse £4O. "fifth horse £3O, sixth horse £25. Lpagstep, who raced with some success/wiring last season, *is destined for Aastralia. This descendant of Stepvniak should 'do well in sprint events across the Tasman Sea. Lphgner is shortly to be shipped to Sydney. The Officer gelding has been somewhat of a disappointment during the two seasons: Being an . r.ecomplished hurdler, Longner should piy his way in Australia, where, the opposition is cot so strong as prevails in-New Zealand. . Gray, the premier horseman of last season, left for Sydnev on Friday last. Gray will have the riding of Mr G. D. Greenwood's horses in Their- Australian engagements. Mr W. E. B.dwilCof Rototawai Las leased a yearling fillv bv Elevation— The,_ Weir, from Mr E". Hutton, a neiUUhouring sportsman, for its racing career. The youngster gives promise of filling out into a typical galloper. . "Gold Lace was shipped South last week on a visit to Mr J. B. Reid's stud. . . 'During'the past season Formbv. the big son of Birkenhead and Gladisla. won sn' stake money £385. This :s a big falling off in vahie, for Formby when a Two-year-old won £2610 in one season. -.Will Mr Ormond's galloper redeem himself as a four-year-old during'the present year? Maraias, who won the Manchester (England) Cup a few weeks back is credited with leaving t-be mile and a half behind in 2min 27 2-ssec, a truly wonderful performance, and one that is never likely to be equalled in Australasia. •Debutante, by Carbine's sim Groatlores, from/San Patricia', won the Trial jPlate, 30JE)sovs, at Johannesburg,, on "Jatte 17." San Patricia will be remembered as the small fUiv (owned bv the late G. G. : Stead) that brought about theusomewnat. sensational defeat of Nboette as a two-year-old at "Wellington. Qn June Ist, Miss Nellie Eos© Archer. ■Hlia only daughter of late Fred Archer, the well-known jockey, was inftrried to Mr Mas Alexander Tosetti, a yiiiiuiaent business man. Mrs Tosetti i£. oi oonaidefrabto heiress, the fortune lefl nor try her father having increased to £IOO,OOO aa a result of careful investAhvws, ffie well-known AnslralKUi Ttoehoiso, liaa been retired from the turf,- and will take Tip stnd duties. At the sale of the late-Sir Daniel Copper's stud, in 1909, the St. Fr;isqrrin' mare Flair, with a colt foal by Gallinule, was sold for the long sum of : 18.000 guineas. It was argued* ffffthe time that the colt foal in the ring was largely responsible for the strong "bidding. Flair's colt, who carries the name of Pophyron) has~pTOVed tip-to date a failure on tho iurif.
