Amazon*, who won the Burn Handicap on the ceconxl day of the Auckland 'trotting Club's meeting, is trained in Gisborne and is an aged mare by Rothschild. She won one roee last season, being successful at Nelson. • Dignity, who finished second to Amazona. was raced unsuccessfully here, a few times, being trained by R. Allan.

Pearl d'Or, who won the tshief event on the second day of the . Auckland Trotting Club's meeting, is by Prince Imperial and was a speedy three-year-old. She was bred in the Ashburton district and' was at'one time raced •by .13. Grice. The mare was sold at the end of last season and Went to Auckland, but she did not race at all well in her earlier efforts then'.. Evidently with age she is staying better and she may develop into a more than useful two-miler. Wallace M. again showed what a consistent pacer ho has become since going to the North Island. The Wallace L. horse was very Unreliable at the starting post When raced here, but ho has now become one of the. best mannered horses in training. There is rarely a meeting in Auckland at which he is not a ' competitor, and ho invariably gets some of the prize money. Walnut, who has been racing a good many years now, must be getting past his best.

Olive is trotting right uo to his best form just now, as he was again successfur on the second day of, the Auckland Trotting Club's melting, ami Tim Dorian is evidently on the improve. This young horse, who is full-brother to Miutson, who raced at the Wanganui Trotting Club's meeting but, although he paced fairly Well, he was not forward enough to be successful.

Mintson. who was made favourite for tho chief event of - the Auckland Trotting Club's meeting, .finished out of- a place, being called off for anticipating his bell-. Later in the day ho won the Adams Memorial Handicap, of a mile aud a half. Mintson's owner also has Admiral Wood, the pair being in J. Bryce's StaA>le. He is a speedy horse and can evidently stay better than was generally supposed.

Syrio, who won the two-mile trotters' race at Auckland on Saturday is by Franz—Monica, the dam of Galician and Golconda, and although.not a bigone she is, a capable trotter. She is trained by the veteran, W. A. Scott. Auckland; Girl, who finished second, is owned by. Mr J. Pettie, who at one time raced horses . here. For several years past Mr Pettie has been racing horses in Auckland, but he has not been very successful. Auckland Girl was raced here some time ago, being an inmate of N. Price's stable, and she won a good trotters' race at Addington. last year. Auckland Girl was successful in the race in which,she finished second to Syrie on Saturday.

The Auckland trotting track evidently improved on Saturday with the racing, as Sanddrift won the . mile saddle event in 2min 24 2->ssec. Since being purchased a few montlis ago, Sanddrift has been a most profitable horse for his new owner.' Sanddrift won at Manawatu and Wanganui, and evidently is racing a good deal better than when on the tracks here. The Driftwood horse is a very even-gaited pacer, with a capital action and is thoroughly reliafjle:.

The win of Adjutant'in the. Autumn Handicap-at Treutham on Saturday involves him in a penalty of 141b for the Groat Autumn Handicap, bringing his weight up to 7st 71b.

Battle Eve ran a bad. race at Trentham on Thursday, but in the Suburban Handicap on Saturday lie gave a very different performance. Ho. was not prominent till the straight- was reached, when he came with a good' run and won decisively.

Oxenhnpe is credited with showing quite an exceptional burst of speed at the finish of the Thompson Handicap last week. His effort, over the last. furlong wa.s one of the most brilliant ever witnessed at Trenthahi.

There, was some, excitement prior to the Pluukct Nursery xiandicap, at Treutham on Thursday. When going out for her preliminary,, the Field Battery filly. Cease Fire, developed some eccentricities. " She jumped round and' rushed ecross the course, apparently with the intention of jumping the rails. At the judge's box she swerved and unseated'her rider, W. Bell, who was thrown against the .starting'post. Bell fell heavily, and was taken to tho military hospital, where it was found that he had fractured three ribs. Permission was granted to withdraw Cease Fire from the race after her mad escapade. She caused no trouble when she went out on Saturday, and she won the. Pacific Handicap in good style.

Eligible is tioi. engaged in the Great. Northern St- Leper; and with. Xones unlikely to make the trip north the St linger and Oaks, at the Auckland Racing Club's .Easier meeting, will be robbed of all int-orest. as the opposition to Desert Gold" will be of a moderate character.

The South Auckland Racing Club If as decided to apply to the Racing Conference for ocrmission to change its name to Hamilton Racing Club.

It is reported. from the north that F. Tilley and his chief patron, Mr W. Duncan! will make a trip to Sydney this month, with a view to attending tbe yearling sales at Easter.

The two-year-old. Maorilander. has been described in more than one race hook tin's KCJismi as by Maori King— Scotia that being nl-o.ihe breeding opposite his name in the list of nominations for al' the etas* races. According to the Stud Book, however. Scotia's foal of KH:I was a brown colt by All Black, and it is now stated that this :s the correct breeding of Maorilander.

Balboa was responsible for two pood performances at the Wellington Racing Club's meeting .Inst week. In the Thompson Handicap he finished just hohind the placed horse*;, while in the Tventhnm Geld Cup he did wel.l to make a race with Eligible, to whom be v.-as conceding lolb. whereas Mr Henrys put only 51b between them in the Great Autumn. Handicap. The racing should improve 'Balboa. wh6 looks like playing a prominent part in the Great Autumn at Riccarton this, month.

The figures bearing on the present season's racing in Australia, ext.eudj.ng from August 1 to March 11, show that descendants of Wallace have captured in stakes during the period named which gives the soil of Carbine the leading position with it commanding advantage. Malster. who lias headed the ..-iru-s' li<-t I'm- several

Easaia

seasons, is in seventh place at present, the winnings of his progeny amounting to £9-111. k A compilation of the total winnings in stakes by the two leading eoloninl-bred sires shows Malster to still have a load of £5916, the respective figures, being as follow: Malster, £208.324; Wallace, £202,409. Descendants of Maltstev. it has to be noted, are very much more numerous in New South "Wales than in the other States, and that being so, and a big meeting at Randwiek close at hand, it is unlikely that the descendants of Wallace, will eaptuvo enough stake moner to give their sire the top place in the total summing up; so tar as the season is concerned., Wallace s position is quite secure.

What is very generally viewed as the mo.it annoviug ' circumstances Under Which money is lost when backing horses in racing is. on the tapis is that when the gear breaks. Such n case, it transpires,"happened when Woorak was counted out in the C. M. Lloyd Stakes at. ■ Flemington on the 9th inst., for which race" he ruled a hot favourite. The field had gone but a few strides when it was recognised that something had gone wrong, and the contretemps was fi'msduxl off by the ruler of the favourite (Bracken) leaving the saddle, hurriedly as the result of a broken stirrupleather. Accidents of this kind should not happen in. racing, but now and again they do happen. Before the Sloan style of riding became the fashion' jockeys have been known to pull the other foot out of the stirrUp and ride on—sometimes to victory—but perched up as lie was on Woorak (remarks the "Australasian") Bracken had no chance of releasing the left foot, and in the end he fell off.

Some time ago, writes " Plucton '' in the "Auckland Weekly News,'' the committee of the Takapuna Jockey Club effected the purchase of the block of. land from- the' Auckland Harbour Board known as Narrow Neck, situate on the north side of thoir racecourse, at a cost of something like £6OOO, with a view principally to'extending the race, track in the direction named. Plans of an extorisive .scale of works were drawn up last year, but for various reasons the prosecution of the work was postponed. Matters-having been now adjusted, the club has started the works. A large number of trees which have stood for so many years, on the northern boundary have been felled. The plans drown up and approved provide for the extension of the race track to eight furlongs, and with the additional land now available-'this will allow of a remodelling of the whole of the track, not the least important of which viill bo improvement in the approach to the various turns. Taking full advantage of the fine Weather, °the work is to be pushed on with all vigour, but we are not far away from the winter, and with the approach of the wet season the work will, of course, be affected. Under favourable conditions it may be possible to use a portion of the newlymade course next season, but, recognising tho difficulties, we will probably have to await a later period to find matters in a completed state. When srch is an accomplished fact the gatherings held at the North Shore under the auspices of the Takapuna Jockey Club will be further greatly popularised.

Recent reports from England show that cross-country racing found considerable favour last winter, despite the restrictions which compelled visitors to go to the meetings by road, no railway traffic being permitted by the authorities. The latest information, suggests that the Gofenimenfc lias relaxed considerably from the attitude taken up a, year ago. This is shown by the fact that the Board of Trade has informed the Jockey C/ltib that the Government has no objection to flat racing at certain meetings, in addition, to Newmarket, provided all visitors go byroad, in the same way as to jumping meetings. In consequence of this decision, the Jockey Olub has granted dates for meetings at Gatwick, Lingfield, Windsor aiid Newbury. Each of the four will have three meetings of two days each between the last week in March and fclia middle of August, while. Newmarket, in addition to its ordinary series'of eight meetings, will have threeextra meetings. In order to provide for T.he sequence of meetings, the stewards of the Jockey Club Have- cancelled all the fixtures previously granted for 191(5, with the exception of Newmarket fixtures, and all races already closed for the cancelled fixtures have been declared void. This wholesale cancellation of fixtures ami entries was the only equitable course, for, owing to the prolonged stoppage of flat racing elsewhere than at Newmarket, many owners were compelled to sell their horses, or turn them out of training, under the idea that all the meetings they were engaged at (excepting Newmarket) would be abandoned. Although there has been no arrangement for meetings at Gatwick, Lingfield. Windsor and Newbury after mid-August, there 'is plenty of time for fixing up autumn racing there -later. The great thing at present is that the racing scheme has heen mapped out for the spring and snimmer months. Presuming that the two extra Newmarket meetings, fixed to be held in June, will be arranged for the first and last weeks of that month, there will be only two entirely blinkweeks as regards flat raring from rbe opening meeting at Gatwick on Mar:.h 24 and 2-3 to August 12. the second day of the third of lhe meetings to be got through at Newbury. The blank weeks are to be those ending on ApVii 1 and 22 respectively, but the lai::i of the?e is Passion Week, in which there is seldom any racing of much aceoi:r>t. .Even so, there will bo a jumping meer.iug ir. each of them, so that there will be n fixture of <orae kind each week, though in many instances it will only, extend to two days, It is regrettable, common-.s a prominent English writer, what. ;.-!- though Epsom is very handy fo • travellers by road, and not. occupied by ibe military, the Government has not .-ten fit to mah? it a privileged moet'ug. In the pro-railway days everyone journeyed by road to Ep-om to see the "Derby and Oaks, and I am much, surprised' that we are not. to have anv i/ici.ig there for the second year in succession. It is all very well to have a New Derby and a Now' Oaks at Newmarket, but they are not the real th-.ng. although the' course " behind the Ditch " at headquarters i- really a bettor one for trying the merits of horses than the twisting up and down track on Epsom Downs. Nevertheless, to thousands "f people the Derby is only the Derby when it is run at Epsom, just as a

,; Logor " run anywhere else than -\i Doncaster ■would hj? as nought, in the ey?s of " the men of Yorkshire and the hardy north." We must make tin; best of ma tiers, however, as they ar". rni») wlipih one consider* that we li-v.v a Government which has ollowoj 1.-'iOO.OOO tons of iron or? to go through Holland into Germany since, the war began, to be converted at Krupp's into material for the destruction of our own soldiers, oue canaot in sober truth be greatly surprised at any other errors of omission or commission of which its members, individually or collectively, mav be guilty. \/hen T think, or write, about the war, however. I get annoyed with the lawyers and other queer folk who are responsible for all sorts of foolishness, so lot iu? pass on to more 'jheerv matter-*.
