The three-year-old pacer Saint’s Bell, who won-a race at the end of last season at the South Wairarapa Trotting, Club’s meeting, and who competed unsuccessfully in the two-year-old classic event at the Ashburton Trotting Club’s winter meeting, is to bo raced at the Greymouth Trotting Club's meeting.

Harold Devon, who has been enjoying a long spell, is to be pnt into work again on K. H. Smith’s return from the West Coast, after attending the Greymouth Trotting Club’s meeting.

It' was found that the trotter Peter M’Millan was in a bad way alter last racing at Addington, and the horse ha» ’been given a spell. He is to he put into work again shortly.

The pacer Peter Mac is training on satisfactorily at Belfast, and it is to he hoped that this horse, who wa.s a rare good three-year-old, will come back to his best form.

M. M’Grath, the owner of the trotte* Lady Linwood, has just taken in hand a trotter by Royal Ribbon, who looks like developing into a useful sort.

The pacer Mykot is working satisfactorily at Belfast and may be raced at Auckland in November.

The Driftwood gelding Grand Drift, who, was evidently suffering from some ailment when last raced, has been given a long spell,- and another effort will be madevto train the horse.

Although nothing has been definitely decided, it is stated by a northern writer that Affectation may run in the Stewards’ Handicap instead of the New Zealand Gup. He was supported for the New Zealand Cup, but not hy the owner. Trainer Jamieson favours the colt running in the short race, as it would not take so much out of him as the Cup preparation, and there is not each a great deal of difference in the two stakes. Ho is a good colt and his trainer naturally does not want to take any risks in knocking him out.

In the Paddock Handicap, six furlongs, run at Flemington on October 4, Hymestra, carrying'lOst 51b, was beaten by three-quarters of a length by Den- ' acre, who was receiving 251b from Mr KemhalTs horse."

Rebus has now won £11,735 in stake money. His successes are the Rosehill Maiden Stakes and Eawson Stakes, the Sydney Cup, Epsom Handicap, Villiors Stakes and Metropolitan Handicap. He is* without doubt one of the best handicap horses Australia has ever seen- The son of Radium and Quibble has yet to win a* weight-for-age event.

At the Sherwood Park Stud, Victoria, Cross Battery has foaled a bay filly lo" All Black. The youngster is a half-sister to the Australian Jockey Club’s Derby dead-heater, Artillery09*#. ’

After the Australian Jockey Club’s Derby the blue riband was placed by Lady, Helen Munro Ferguson first on Richmond’; Main and then on Artilleryman. The Committee of the Australian Jockey Club decided, in view of the historic nature of the race, to have two extra duplicates of the riband made, so that there .will toe one for Sir Samuel Hordern, ; one for Mr A. D. Murphy, and one for Mr J. Baron.

A Sydney writer is responsible for the following remarks concerning > a much bobmed New Zealand-owned but Australikn-bfed horse:—Spanner, at either 2000gs or 3000gs, is now an expensive purchase for Messrs W. Richmond and W. G. Stead. He has cost tuem a tidy sum at Randwick, and unless his failures have caused the southern handicappers to modify their opinion of him, the chances are ho will he unequal to recouping his owners if he goes to Melbourne.

. Before Hermit won the Epsom Derby 1 m 1867 some news-hungry publicists reported that he had broken a .bloodj vessel in a gallop, and he retreated to I a very outside price in the betting—- > a movement which was much appreci- ? ated by the astute Captain Machell, who managed him. He and his friends won an enormous stake. Many years afterwards it transpired that the alleged blood-letting was a very minor master— just a small vein in the head —and the lungs were in no way responsible for the bleeding. As a stallion'Hcrmit ranked with Stockwell and St Simon; therefore he gained the verv highest honours at the stud. Yet English publicists persisted in jamming down the public throat that he was delicate. They held he did not inherit the weakness from Newminster. It camo from, his dam, Seclusion, and they have stuck to it till, this day. The pig-headed obstinacy of our English cousins is certainly something, to admire, both on and oft the battlefields in which they have been fighting, without losing much, during the past 120 years. Since the times of Hermit a large number of first-class horses descended direct from Seclusion have appeared. Two—Minoru and Grand Par—^ave M7 ° n l*l ie English Derby, and the cable announces that the' great English St Leger. run la,st month, was won by Keysoc, who, like a great manv other prominent winners, is a descendant of a Hermit mare, and is out of Keystone IT. (by Persimmon), who won Lord Derby a large amount in stakes. Lord Derby bred Keysoe, also her sire and dam.. She is by' Swynford. a brother to the dam of Bowman, a horse who was secured in England recently by Dr Thompson, a well known New South ‘Wales breeder, at whose stud he will do duty this season.
