Hawke’s Bay, Amberloy and Forbury meetings to-aay. ‘ When Gloaming won the Ormond Cup tnree .years ago, He carried 9.11, anu ran 1.38 4-5, .without being hurried.

C. Emerson’s mounts at Amberley today will include Moorland', Prosperity, Some Abbey, Goldspinner and Armchair.

The Brackenficld Hunt permit, which some time ago was onered to an adjacent club, has now been offered to the Banks Pomnsula Club.

Haze, runner up m yesterday s Hawke’s Bay Cup, has yet to win a race. Ho has registered six seconds in his last half dozen starts.

The Canterbury Jockey Club has recommended the issue of a jockey’s license to J. T. Humphris ior the remainder' of the present season. Tarleton, since he won the Timaru Cup, has caused 1 A. McAulay a deal of anxiety, but lie is likely to bo l 4 '. E. Jones’s mount in the Amberley Cup to-day. 7 Kohara’s time .when he won the Prince of Wales Handicap at Auckland Was 4.40. This was slower than was recorded by Goldman in the trotters’ race a little later in the afternoon.

:H.‘ Gray cabled for the ride on The Hawk before J. M. Cameron left Sydney, and it is understood that ho will steer the Martian gelding to-day. Gray is a bettor horseman than Young.

Gloaming’s record to date —66 starts, 56. wiiis', 9'Beconds.; 1. ..unplaced (foil) ; stakes'won £42,600. The Hawk, whbsd winnings exceed £23,000, has started in 62 races, for 24 wins, 8 seconds, 10 thirds, and 20 unplaced efforts. Since the distance of the Hawke’s •Bay Stakes was .increased to 6j furlongs in 1897, no horse had broken 1.20 until Gloaming did so yesterday. The previous record for the race was 1.20, jointly held by Gloaming, Thei Hawk, Mymestra, and Achilles. The C.J.C. lias approved tho follow-' ing programme lor tins season: —North' Canterbury Racing Club, May 16; South Canterbury Hunt, point-to-point, May 28 and June 13; South Canterbury Hunt race meeting, July 18; Banks Peninsula Racing Club, in conjunction with Brackonfield! Hunt Club, June 20 (subject to the approval of the president of the Racing Conference and the Club). Threo of the Cliokebore representatives have been disposed of by_ Sir George Clifford. Firestick has been sold to Mr A. D. McLennan, of Riccarton. The speedy daughter of Antagonist and Heatherbrae will not be persevered with in training in the meantime, but will bo given a long spell in the paddock. Armchair has joined R. Longiey’s string, and will race in the same owersiiip as Corintliic. Hungry Hill is to join W. Lloyd’s training establishment at Mosgiel. Several commentators on the Gloam-ing-The Hawk match have credited the latter with being tho better stayer ot the pair, but despite his breeding The Hawk is very much inferior to Gloaming at a mile and a halt, and would have only remote prospects of defeating tho older horse at ten furlongs. Even at a mile, Gloaming, if he goes to the post in good shape, is likely to be a solid favourite. Other writers have pinned their faith to Gloaming on the ground that a good big one should beat l good Jittio one. Mr Greenwood's champion is much more massive than The Hawk, but he stands only 15.3, and tho Martian gelding is at least J. 5.1.

There Lavs boon fairly persistent rumours that Gloaming will not mce today at Hastings, but probably those were inspired by memories of the Biphine incident at Avar,urn seme-yours ago. in expectation oi seeing JDesert Gold, then at th® hc-iglvt ct nor fame, and Biplane, the A.J.O. Derby hero, meet, a record crowd coilc-cted’ from all over the island, it. J. Mason, on finding that the champion mare was in. great buckle, decided that slip was too good for rus throe-yenr-oid, and exercised his right to scratch the colt. Then pandemonium broke loose, and whon it was proposed io start iiplane on the second day, there was such a scene that the club advised the itiecarfon trainer not to run him. Mas on insisted finite rightly, that he bad not infringed any ruio. but it is not imoiy that he will risk a repetition of the Biplane incident by bringing Gloaming home if he is fit to run. if all is well with the old miracle, there is no reason to anticipate his defeat, unless bad luck ii,s 'encountered. horse, it should bo remembered, is at home in the mud.
