conies from New Zealand, -and not from America. So much importance is .attached to tho time teat/ in "the States" that it would soom as if somo fiuoli contrivance were an absolute necessity. Tho "Randwick trainer, M-r J. Allsop, has returned to Sydney, and looks well after his trip. Chatting alxni't what ho saw, ho said tha-t in England horses are raced much bigger than in the colonies, and is of opinion that they are faster, but do not stay as well aa ours. , He thinks Xhe best of our jockeys compare favourably •with the English and French top-natchers. Ih his opinion M. Cannon is tho 'beat jockey in England. The jockeys who go in. "for^he American style ride shorter and crouch 'lover than those "Australians who have adopted the forward seat. Tho extra width of the track is .against the startting machine on most •English courses, combined with the fact that tho starters do nob appear to> have much control over jockeys. On the whole, Mr AHsop is of opinion that in racing matters wo have very little to learn from the older countries. An American exchange says thai at a meeting of creditors of the E-. J. Arnold turf investment concern in July, Solomon L, Swarts* waa chosen a •trustee under the provision of the bankruptcy law. Swartg has been receiver of the assets of -the defunct concern, having been appointed by the Oourb to take charge of the effects until a trustee shouldl be elected. Has duties as receiver will end as soon *•« ho qualifies as trustee. Swarts announced that the asserts, bo far -as found, consisted of about , 60,000d0l in cash and & farm valued iat ISjOOOdol. Tho claims filed against the estate thus far a-mount to about 3,250,000d01, land Swartsi expects to pay 2 or 2J per cent of the indebtedness. The time for paying out will (be- determined, by tho Court. The creditors number more than 12,000, and rcsidte mi nearly every State and territory in the Union. It' would appear, ■ according to a writer in " Bailey's Magazine," that one of the most successful sife3 of the jumping hoise in England is 'Ascetic, by Hermit. Ascetic w?.s located in Ireland, at Cloneymore, .Athboy. Ha died in August, 1897, at tho >age of twontysix yeaTS. The Engldsh scribe praises the son of Hermit. He was the sire of Dramc-reei the latest winner of the Liverpool Grand National. "In modern times," he says, "no sire has been more successful in getting good jumpers than Ascetic . Each season this fact ■becomes more patent. Just upon six years have elapsed sine a his death, but still his progeny are ail-conquering across country. During the current 'season the last batch of Ascetic's gets have added considerably to his posthumous honours, having up to the time .of •writing won no fewer tbanj 32 races, of the value of £6448. T«ne greatest triumph, of course, has been the winning of the Liverpool Grand National, this year worth exactly £2000, by his 'brilliant n'in.e-year-'o-ld son DrumcTee. This is "the second occasion on which the great race has fallen to a son of Ascetic, Cloister, 'having been the previous victor ten yeiaT3 ago." In seven years £24.920' waa "won by jumpers got by tAscetic. A word to mothers. K your children ar« suffering from coughs or colds "Tussicura" gives immediate relief. X3283 For Sale or To Let. J. T.
