Nominations closod on Friday for a, imniber of important events to bo deoided at tho Canterbury Jockev Uubg meeting next month, and from * slMlce through tho lists i* would appear, a* if tho fields would b® large •it . the Riccarton Spring Carnival. Jhera uj® twenty-seven horses whoso owners seem to hare, serious intentions, m(. present of contesting the New Zealand- Oup. This, at any rate, is a reasonable conohrfon to draw from tho they have been nominated . (or tho Metropolitan Handicap. Tim home in this fist are Vagabond. Snub, KBrneh, Oratrogs, Royal Star. Imanl- 4 J Cann Y>' Ronnie Maid. yßadia], Tenter-Bold, Athens H. Johnnv .'Valuer, Bonnie Heather, Nightraider, i Bose Pink, Markka, Jock, Gasbag’. ISioutoa Ivanovo, .Kilgour, Rebuff, (Piuntemps, Spent King, Bongeroop, Kaperanoe, Malton and Bondage. The ; other eleven hordes who. still stand • t their ground in tho New Zealand Cop jp.re . Noblenian, Risingham, Counter Attack, Admyra, Missknd, Cbaeronia, 'Marti Anthony, Anfcari, Adopted; Jack Symons and Oatalinl. Some of these .horses may he raced at the meeting in minor events, while others can be . marked off now as unlikely, to -appear at the meeting. Nobleman i? one whocan apparently bo included in this .latter; category, as ho is a stayer, and he would almost certainly have been in the other long distance events had his owner contemplated the trip. Included iu .the twenty-seven horses who retain their cup engagements are several whose prospects look very remote, but the race bears such a.n\open appearance that- owners feel .justified in going on with-any horses who have decent staying credentials. The other events for which, nominations closed on .Friday have filled up well, There is the usual large aud very mixed lot in the Stewards’ Handicap, among them the best sprinters in the Dominion, with «, sprinkling of smart three-year-olds but to ere. is a big tall to-the list. Two-year-olds ImJk largely fa, the Juvenile, Hate but among the three-vcur-olds •no - Dswdrop Chrysostom, Fahtinade. Baceful and Right, and Left. The presence _of the last-named pair i u this .tace -is mgn.ficant, as it is run on the r , Tllo . Cnil^rb fi''y Gup and -he bead Gup have, of course, att noted all the horses with weight-for-nKe pretensions the only exception beuig kasanof, who is apparentlv not to do much more racing.

V Kilrush and Loyal Arch occupied Imin IS 8-ssec ovn.r six furlongs on the plough. Loyal Arch does not appear to bo nt her best just now. Carnbmv nnd Mill Prosper were companions in a. spin over six furlongs on tbe plough. They took Imin 19 -i-oaeo over their task, and were stopping badly at the finish. After breakfast Greek Sou and Thestius sprinted three furlongs from - a stand in 30 4-ijsoc. Greek Sou jumped out particularly well and hold a clear advantage at the end. % » # Warlike, with the assistance of Clean Sweep over the first six furlongs and brought home by Sang Souci, got to the end of nine furlongs in Imin 65 8-osec. The New Zealand Cup candi-Ala-to finished well aud it was a useful effort. « » * r Listening Post got to the end of six furlongs in Imin losec, Some Kid assisting him over the last fire- ,♦ ♦ ♦ Strelitzla beat Sungleam over three furlongs up’the back in 37 3-Osec. while Palestrina, was restricted to useful work over about half a mile. *** About twenty ITiccartoii-t rained hoi sea will bo racing at the Dunedin Jockey Club’s meeting this week, wul. 03 some ef them have already taken their departure for the south, the local tracks are quieter than usual. . The first of the Riccarton trainers to leave for Mingatui went by the first express on Monday. They were Gi Murray Aynsloy, with Mariovo, Orange Mart. Algidns and the two-year-olds Limelight (Solferino —Stardancer) and Eblf (Martian —Lady Disdain); H. GuUs, with Winter Wind and Nightraider; and H. Ellis, with Link Up. F. D. Jones went ibis morning, taking Amythas, Malaga and the two-year-olds Humboldt (Sunny Lake—Medley) nnd filly by Absurd—Liquify. The balance oi: the local contingent will go to-mor-rsw, oousiatitig of F. Christmas, with Kilrush. Loyal Arch and Demades; W llibbor'd, with Carnbrea, Will Prosper and tbe two-year-old Drown Lady (Sutala—ATariee)! W-. Al’Donald, with .Listening Post; and P. M’Grnth. with the two-year-old Meteorite (MartianForked Lightning). • * ♦ • J. M'Combo went on to M’ingalu: with Bon Spec and Sunny Loch «fter tha Kurow meeting.' The Southland sportsmaji. Air IV Stone, was a_ speoiator of the work at KiocaHon this. morning. Ho came uj* from Invercargill to superintend the shipment of Checkmate, who will leave for Australia to-day. * » ♦ Amythas is not engaged on the first day of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s meeting, but he will probably bo a competitor in the Ranfurly Handicap,, one mile, on Saturday. The North Island jockey, A- J. Al’Flinn, is expected toride him. V* The Aiosgiel Handicap, of one mile and a quarter, at the Dunedin Jockey Club’s meeting on Friday, should be a very, . interesting event, among the horses engaged being six New Zealand Cup candidates. Kilrush, Jock, Rose Pink, Night raider, Silent King • cud liengeroop. A win will mean n 71b penalty at Riccarton. « « * the New Zealand Cup candidate, (SUenr, King, met with a slight mishap at the Ashburton meeting last month Southern reports credit him with all right again, 1 nnd ready to register a good performance in ’ the AJosgiel .Handicap at tho Dunedin Jockey Uub s meeting on Friday. Reports from North OUgo stats that the three-year-old Sunny Corner, by Sunny Lake—Angelina, has grown into a very handsome filly, Bhe showed good form last spring, winning twice and being third in another race, out of four starts. Bhe was then given a spell and she is to make her reappearance m the Dunedin Guineas, in which she is expected to race well. HAWKE’S BAY NOTES. / (Special to the “ Star.”) NAPIER, October 9. ■ lonlerfield ran, a. very different race at Hastings from what ho did at Napior Park, and fairly flew past Molyneiix in the straight. Report credits lenterlield with hr.mg nearly the equal of Hymestra as a sprinter. If that is so. bo should be heard of again. Morniin ia probably the best two-yenr-old seen out this season, though them are several other smart ones. Ho is compactly built, and a more ©Tfiilv balanced colt than. Humbug was lust iieai. ,11c should be capable of doiitsr ah 'that Humbug did as a two-year-old and perhaps a, bit belter. < Rouen has got into the Shorts Handicap at Wellington very lightly, and ho should he oue of the, most fancied candidates for that cevm. Handicapper Coyle aides him to .meet Surveyor on only 31b worse terms than when he defeated the latter at Hastings, and most of those who saw the.race will, I think, agiec Hint Rouen gave Surveyor much more than a 31b beating. Roueu, like must of the Bezonian stuck, is a, fast sprinter, end is game also. Humbug demonstrated bv bis win m the Hawke « Bay Guineas that bis deteat at Wanga.nui was mainly owing to ius being short of a gallop or l.n-o, and the rare there did him a lot of good. He is more susceptible of improvement than most, -of the horses who finished behind him, and he should always beat them when he is well. Delight and Duo were the two bmconditioned candidates iti the Hawke' 3 Bay Guineas, nnd but for hia 71b penalty Duo would probably hare finished alongside of Delight. 'The two Mountain Knight geldings, Ton, Tua and Mountain Poor, who rail first and second at Hastings, are. both good, mid both should win races this season, as also will ' Five-eighths, the J.'inland—• War Scare celt.in F. Davis’s stable. Aureate may turn.out- some good towards the back end ol the season At present she is all framework, but it m a really good framework for all that, and with age she will be a, really good one, or .1 am much mistaken, Did Mu It if uni came to light again in the Ulenaray Handicap ,u Hdstiir-*©, Owner-tminer Howard seems to hare the knack of keeping his aged equium, ever youthful enough to run some good races. Totimi is to go,, in to retirement again, and Silver Tongue will take- Ids rUni in J. Uidlielcl’s'stable, This chap dedicate customer, hard to-get tit and still harder to keep that wa'v. ’ Surveyor will land a race before long. Mr H. E. '1 ro-itbeck seen signalised Ivs re-entry on the turf by winning the Uu-y ear-old handicap at Avondale with

Mauuu. This is a speedy -youncarer, who should bo' getting ’on the wining list again soon. SOUTHLAND NOTES, (Special to'the “.Star.")' INT ERG ABGILL, October. 11, It is .reportel that , tho ' Min catui trainer, 11. hi' Dona Id, has purchased mlloweu from the trustees of tlm late D. Morton- The price is stated to hare been in the neighbourhood of ££oo. , Dlcnsliine and Ladv Links, after en,joymg extended spells, have rejoined I.' Hogan's string. The Minton • Stakes candidate, (Naomi. who was recently injured, ha.s practically recovered and 1 resumed work this morning. ,D is'understood that at the conclusion oi the Dunedin spring meeting the hurdler 'Calm* and the tno-yoar-olds Liqtver and . Songbird will be sent to Riccarton to fulfil engagements at the Canterbury Jockey Llul) s spring fixture. Bengeroop may accompany the horses named to Christchurch. but the trip will .depend upon, Mie running of the Calibre gelding at lAingatui this week. , J. Kennedy, owner of the Minton Makes candidate. Mdlle Fedalum, today refused a. second offer of .100 guineas for the daughter of Calibre—redalnia. She is a. well grown mare, who gallops fairly well, but the sister to Galina. has yet (o be seriously tried out. on, the track. After the Gore spring- meeting has been disposed of trainer M’J.ean intends having his charge. 'Mettle. Drift, Schooled for hurdle racing. , ißr E. Russell,-(he owner of Listening .Post, will : prohablv .spend the .Christmas and Non- Tear'holiday: period m Auckland, a fart that 'explains the son of Solfenno--Eager Eyes having been nominated for the A.uekland stiiiimei meeting. It will depend upon eircumstanoe.s whether Listening* Post wijl visit Ellerslio. The programme for the Minton Jockey Clubs annual .meeting next month carries ££ooo in stakes, with the ii in ton Cup of £4OO, run 'over a mile and a quarter, as the leading attraction. H NOMINATIONS.
