Clynelish was scratched for oil engagements at the spring meeting of the Canterbury Jockey Club at 9 a.m. yesterday. Bell Dillon, a full-sister to Dillon JBell, is at the stud in Australia and this season is to be mated with Lulu Boy. . It is rumoured that Mr L. O. Hazlott may send Palisade and to Australia to raco before tho close of this season. It is reported that King Cole will bo a competitor at the spring meeting of the Forbury Park Trotting Club. If the son of Ribbonwood happens to be in his best form, ho will be a big attraction at tho meeting. There is word from tho Commonwealth of the death of a ifedjro** course slave, Yale Look, who accomplished most of his good deeds on the .Western Australian turf. Yale.Lock is stated to have run in nearly 25U races, of which he won « I# was second on 49 occasions and third in 39 races, bo that ho was remarkably consistent. A number of horses that were thrown out of training in England on the declaration of war rejoined their trainers ptables when King George expressed _a desire that racing should be •continued. The well-known Randwick trainer, P. Nolan, can lay claim to a record almost unequalled. Five.times horses prepared by him have done the hat trick. At Moorefield, Canterbury Park and Randwiok be has turned out, thiee winners in one day. Hall mark .won three hurdle races in succession, and by hia victory in the Steeples Torone has performed a similar feat. Twenty years have gone since, Mr Nolan last rode-ie was badly injured then-but during bis career as a jockey he won fifty-five races over jumps. After his acident he took to training horses, and a conservative estimate is that he has produced over 200 winners.

Referring to the Australian Trotting Club? meeting, held this, monbthe Sydney "Referee" had,the following. -The fastest performance, as on the Erst day, was credited to DiUon Bell, who, on 80yds, was beaten by threePters of y a length by Sunny on 20vds t ill the mile event, the time being Win 17isec Reckoning 6sec.for fche 60yds difference in the pair s handicaps; the New bor,e went at practicaly a 2.124 gait. It was a grand' hnish, and Mlon BeU, with a brilliant run, headed the favourite, Colmena, 5 to 4, and Sweet Elmo-, in the last half-furlong, eauglu Grace Wood, 30yds (who heat him by a, length when receiving 6oyds m a similar event at the previous meeting in 2min lOJsed), and was drawing level with Sunny South when the great effort told, and tho Hawkesbury district borso was able to draw slightly away, gaining the verdict by three-quarters of a length. Grace Wood was only a neck behind Dillon Bell, with Colmena and Sweet Elmo close up, followed by Medlow Bath, and Dan Dillan, the second favourite, last.

The large entries received last night for the spring meeting of the Metropolitan Trotting Club, which is to take place nest month, has clearly demonstrated that the premier trotting club of the Dominion is likely to have a record meeting. In addition to. nearlyall the best horses in New Zealand claiming engagements, there will be added interest from the fact that a strong Australian contingent will be taking part. There is not the slightest doubt but that the largo stakes now provided by the club are a great attraction, and whilst some argue that the shorter limits are crowding out many horses from being able to compete at Addington, the policy of the club in providing races for the host -class of pacers and trotters is one that must commend itself. There are plenty of races on other courses for horses not capable of doing the work successfully, enough to be >uro of vie-, tory in races at Addington, and whilst the Metropolitan Club continues to provide races for the very best class, it is sure to receive support from all directions, while it will be rewarded by the public attending in great number's. At the last November meeting there ■was a record attendance, the grandstand being crowded long before the commencement of the first'race, and despite the fact that alterations and improvements have been made, it looks as though the present new stands will be none too largo to cope with the .attendance, Under these circum- . stances* it is to bo regretted that the new members' stand was not built, as it would have relieved the pressure in the grandstand. Last year the presence of the Australian champion, Denver Huon, was a great attraction for the meeting. In the past Australian owners have patronised this meeting on many occasions. For some years Mr J. A. Buckland kept a team in work in Christchuroh, under the control of Claude Piper, and he was continually ehipping horses from his stud iu New South Wales. In addition ho also brought over his famous trotter Fritz on more than one occasion, and the great match between Mr Buckland's representative and tbo New Zealand pacer Ribbonwood marked a red-letter Say in the club's history. The late " Qua" Millsom has also raced Australian horses at Addington, and L. Robertflon 3 after his departure from here, returned with a team for the • JJxhibition meeting, Dan Patch being one of the members. W. J. Bryan has piao visited us from Australia, and several crciier Australian horses havo at vorinvn times been sent here to be \ trained and raced for the good stakes given by the club. A strong team under M. Edwards's charge h*s ahead,,arrived from over the water for tbo approaching meeting, a.nd in addition sts Australian performers arrived here this .inartiing. There is no doubt that ' the presence of the Australian teams ■will be a great attraction at the meeting. The form in New Zealand is closely followed by Australian owners and trainers, who must realise that they . are Coming to a place whore races are hard to win. It is therefore safe to aasuino that the visiting horses represent pretty high class, so that something out of the ordinary is bound to be recorded in some of the classes in which the Australian horses, have eni gagements.

The entry of twelve horses for the Free for All should clearly demonstrate to tho club that this class of race, beawtes eeturinfi the gatroaasge of owners,

is sure to be ono of tho star attractions of the meeting. Tlio New Zealand Trotting Cup, on account of the largo stake, is naturally right in the public eye at present, but it can bq safely asserted that keen interest will bo centred in tho race that is to bo run on even terms. I am not altogether in favour of tho distance over which tho race is to bo run, and would havo preferred to see tho distance a mile and a half, which would have provided a raco for horses that aro not qui to such good stayers as are required to contest the New Zealand Cup, over a distance of two miles. When tho track at Addington was five furlongs, tho race over a mile and a quarter afforded tho public an interesting spectacle of tho start, because it was twice round and was started in front of the stand but since the track has been niado six furlongs tho public havo to watch tho despatch from some distance. However a strong field has been nominated for the event, including Marblo Arch and Denver Huon. from Australia., who will meet tho best New Zealauders over the distance. Emmeline and King Cole, tho joint record holders over a mile, aro in tho field. Dillon Belle, tho champion two-year-old of his season, is evidently in 'great form at present, as just recently in Australia ho has been responsible for some , smart performances over a mile. Eccentric and Adonis havo in the past shown a great partiality to tho distanco, and Don Ciesar, a younger horse, by his performances at tho end of last season showed himself to be a high grade pacer. Belle Metal, although now reaching the veteran stage, has also accomplished somo good times in short races, and Albert H., with a New Zealand Trotting Cup to his credit, only requires to be at his best to keep all busy. Ravenschild, another New Zealand Cup maner, is also in the field, and has won a mile race in good time, besides being a proved stayer, while Goldwood clearly showed at, the last August meeting that he is a greatly improved pacer. It is' thus seen that tlio field is a strong one in every way, and provided the track is ebod on the day it is more than possiblo that a record* will be established for tho distance. It is pleasing to note that the club is almost assured of a good raco and one m which tho public will be keenly interested, and it may lead the officials to consider the idea of including more races of a similar description on future programmes.

A very heavy list of nominations was received last night for tho spring meeting of the Now Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club. Seven events on tho first day attracted 159 nominations, while there were 167 for eight events on the second day and 145 tor eight on the third day, or a total of 471 for tho meeting, exclusive of those in the New Zealand Trotting Cup. Che total entries are ahead of thoso received last year, despite an all-round tightening of tho'classes. Last year the nominations totalled 462, but on that occasion the programme included a Ladies' Bracelet, which attracted about twioe as many horses as the average in the other events. Handicaps for the first day are due on Monday.

R. Emerson will leave for the West Coast on Saturday, with Forest Belle and Beggar Maid, and possibly Nithsdale, to race at the Greyraouth Jockey Club's,meeting. W. Scobie will accompany him to ride the horses in. their engagement;.

The imported horse Land of Song, bv Llangibby—Ailena, has completed his period of quarantine in Melbourne and he will be put into training at an early date. Laud of Song has a good racing record, his successes including the Irish Derby*

Confirm, who has been galloping well at-Trentham, is a member of Jervis George's team, being a full brother to Crown PearL

Since the Champion Plate was instituted by the Wellington Racing Club, it hns been won four times by three-year-olds. Equitas, the only old horse included in the list of winners, _ did not have any three-year-olds behind her when she was successful.

At the South Australian Jockey Club's meeting this month Soultberg, by Soillt—Waiorongomai, won the Trial Stakes aud Brighton Welter Handicap. Soultborg, who is six years old, was purchased as -a yearling in Auckland by Dr A. H. Bennett for 200 guineas. At the same meeting the two-year-old Donna da Gaina, by Vasco—-Belle Clair, won the Galway Stakes.

A. J. M'Flinn, tho Auckland crosscountry rider, who broke his collarbone at Marton, and has been recuperating in Sydney, returned to Wellington by this week's steamer, and will be seen in the saddle again at the Gisborno meeting.

WTien the last mail left Australia Ulva's Isle was a strong fancy for tho Melbourne Cup and Woorak had onsted Mountain Knight from prido of position for the Victoria Derby.

Since arriving in Melbourne, the Masterton-owned Sir Solo has not altogether pleased the touts. His chance of success in the-Melbourne Cup is not held very high. Through some mischance the nomination of Sir Solo for other events at the Victoria Racing Club's spring meeting went astmy, so that he will only be able to start in the ■ Melbourne Cup.

There will" probably be a big attendance of trotting enthusiasts at Canterbury Park on Saturday to witness the finish of the Tiinaru to Christchurch bicycle race, as arrangements hive been made with M. Edwards for an exhibition trot by Deliver Huon and Dillon Bell.

The trotting horses Marble Arch, Winn Alto, Lord Ribbonwood, Spot, Nan and Fancy Gantle arrived from Sydney by the Mocraki to-day, to fulfil engagements at the spring meeting of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club next month. .
