Late Racing.

Mr Fred. Hand, the Hamilton sportsman, was in town during the week. His mare, Oarbiness, is wintering well.

We have probably seen the last of the fast pacer, Ludski, which developed a leg after the Waikato T.C. Meeting. ,

The Wellington R.C. Winter Meeting will be well represented by the. Auckland-owned horses. Quite a number left for the South earlty in the week.

Mairconi put up a good showing before going South, defeating Glendalough and Empire over a circlet of the sand, in fair time.

Glutanus alone, followed over the same course but took over 2 sec. longer to leave the distance behind.

On Saturday, Prominent had his first lesson over the timber, jumping six small hurdles satisfactorily.

Tararu Jack, Thrace and Rockfield left by train on Monday to assist at the Wellington R.C. Meeting.

The light-hearted Colonel Soult, after a few weeks' spell is circling the tracks as freely as of yore.

Analogue (formerly Worley the Knut) is back again at head-quart-ers in J. Chaafe's care;

Mr Geo. Currie the Waikato sportsman was in town early in the week.

Fionnuala, the Spalpeen mare in W. Sharp's care, was schooled on Monday, fencing fairly well.

The successful cross country rider, S. Henderson, did not ride the second day at the H.B. Meeting. He came home on Monday very ill.

The maiden hurdler candidate. Joss, has gone into Larry Coleman's care at Ellerslie.

Among the young stock at Ellerslie, Blue Cross is the champion high kicker; all in play.

Kitty Bellairs' half-brother by Marble Arch, is showing promise among the rising 2-year olds.

Jack Lambess, the Ellerslie trainer, did not survive the medical test, but may have to come up again.

Tangihaere, Miss Gill's hunter, ism regular work and is ridden every morning by the returned soldier,. Warner.

Among the horses which have paid! Trent-ham a visit, nothing left in better condition than Tararu Jack and Marconi.

Billy Smith, the old-time pilot of St. Clements, one of the best sprinters in N.Z. in those days, paid Auckland a visit. Billy was quite surprised at the expansion that the city had made since he left here ten years ago.
