From the name one would j think that his sire, Peri Huon, was of Huon blood, but such is not the esse. His breeding is of interest to Zealanders as he is a son of St "Louis out of a Vaucleve mare. St "Louis, who was bred by Mr .1. A. Buckda nd. also the breeder of that great 1 trotter, Frita, proved a good winner ion the race track.

WELLINGTON RACING CLUB FIRST DAY’S RAGING. (Special to the <{ Star.”) WELLINGTON, January 20. The weahor was dull but fine for the opening of the Wellington Racing Club's meeting. There was a large attendance, the stands being well filled. The course was in excellent order, as was evidenced by the fast times. There was some first-clas-- sport, culminating m several close finishes. Racing opened with the Jumpers’ Fla* Handicap. Pacific Slope wound up a little better favourite than Zola, "with Signysian, Mama hem. King Star and Kalstaff also well hacked Falstatf and King Star wr-re out in front early, and they were still going well at the end of half a mile. King Star was in trouble before the straight. uas reached, and though he struggled on ho never looked like a winner in tlio closing stages. Falstaff was going well in front when tlmy reached the straight, but Pacific Slope cut him down without an effort. and won easilv bv two lengths. Maniahera also tackled Falstaff in the straight, but could not quite get. up, Falstaff securing second place. hy a good head. Old (Told finished on strongly in fourth p)ar*e. but he was vejl buck. Then come Zola- who never threatened danger, while King Slar and Tempo wore next. The winner had a. lot in hand and will he hard to stop m this class. Euripos was going well in the front bunch at the end of half a. mile, when ho suddenly dropped back.

The Nursery Handicap for two-year-olds attracted a field of thirteen, Backsheesh being a good favourite, with Creme do, Mentho and Tapairu also well backed. Pluto began smartly, hut he ran wide at the turn, and was headed by Quest, and Sleeping Beautv. When the straight was reached Quest was going well in the lead, but Sleeping Beauty bad bis measure. A hundred yards from homo Princess Pat and Pluto were putting in good work, while ( rente He Mentha was coming very fast from the back after getting off badly. I here was an exciting finish, with a Iwad between Princess Pat. Sleeping Beauty and Pluto, these bring only about a in front of Quest and (.remo de .Menthe. As the race was run it. looked as ii" Sleeping Beautv wa« a. trifle unlucky. A little more vigour on the. part of her rider would have left her viih a good winning margin. Pluto put. up a fine performance as he ran over a lot of ground and with the experience of a, race lie will he vciy hard to heat as the meeting progresses. Quc» showed a fine burst of speed, but did not. quite tee the journey out. Creme de Alentho got ofi slowly and v. as not handled with much judgment, but she finished with a brilliant run. backsheesh and 1 apairu wore not prominent at any stage, and over the last half of the journey there were only five in the race. The winner. Princess Par., raced well at Riccarton in thu spring, and she has developed into * nice filly. She is by All Black from .Martian Princess, by Martian—Two Step, by Stepniak—Faraway, so that she comes from a line that has provided many speedy sprinters. 1 here were thirteen starters for the Anniversary Handicap,. Ponte being u little better backed than Will Oakland, with Counter Attack and 80-Peep also in request- Rose "Wreath. Early Daviu juj<l M ill Oakland diowed out at the start, and they led along the back iron-. .Mumble and Counter Attack. With half the distance gone Will Oakland vas in. charge, while Counter Attack arid Rose Wreath were iri close attendance. Racing round the turn AN"ill Oakland was going well in front, hill, he stopped badly in the run home. It was a useful effort for a horse who had not been long in work and the Finla ful gelding can be marked off for an. early win. The surprising thing was to find so much money for him in this race, as ho cannot be at liis best yet. Svcorax wa> in a handy position all through, and she had the race ill hand a long way from home. ft was a decent performance, and she will win plenty of races yet, as she was running on at the end. Railand came from the back to get second. Rente was unlucky, as she was very badly placed in the early stages, and covered a lot of. gru■•ml round the turn Early Dawn and Rose Wreath sl owed pace in the early stages, hut did not quite see die mile out. Mritatua and Bagdad, on the other baud, were both going well at the end oi the journey. Counter Attack was prominent for nearly six furlongs, .iiui then pctied out rapidly. Hyttus hail liis chance spoilt through getting off badlv, while Johnny Walker tailed off all the way. A field of nineteen contested the Apprentices’ Plate, Battle Knight, Malaga and being the papula, picks- There was a bit of trouble at i he start, Bitters being largely responsible for it. Strategy way* on the move at the rising of the barrier, and lie led in the early stages iron. Pahak i, Counterstroke and Triboulet. with Foo Chow and Malaga handy At the end of half a mile the field was strung out, with Strategy at ihe head of the process] m Eoo Chow was in second pine.? at the entrance to the stiaight, hut he never looked like catching Strategy, who won easily. It was a smart performance, and the Martian gelding is a useful sort. Foo Chow ran n good race, bub he seems unable to quite win, hi? record this season being one of consistent bail luck. AYa.nib.-i, n member of the successful Absuid breed, came fast over the last parr, of the journey to get third place. Malaga could not; make any imprev.ion on the leaders in the carlv pari, but he hold his place well over the last two furlongs. Baltic Knight was» next, finishing on strongly, just clear of Bitters, who ran ? solid race, after getting off slowlv. The Rieeari-on pair. Triboulet and Counterstroke, had every chance, but dirl not last long m the second division. The AYellineton Cup attracted a field of fourteen, representing good* winning form. First Salute and Eleus were almost equal favourites, with Esperance. Vespucci and Red Ribbon best backed among the others. Bonnie Heather took charge soon after the start, closely followed by Nobleman. Dusky Eve, Maioha and Eleus, with Client, Tenterfteld and Punka bringing up the rear. The field closed up as they turned into the back stretch, where Bonnie Heather was joined by Dusky Eve. and this pair led along the back from Maioha and Eleus. with First Salute and Areapucci prominent nraoug the others. £>uaky Eve retired before reaching the

home turn, leaving Bonnie Heather to lead into the straight, where lie also droppd out. Maioha then shot to the front, with Eleus and First Saline almost on terms. There was very little to choose between these three a hundred yards from home, where Punka also put in her claim. A desperate finish ended in favour of Alaioha by a head from Eleus, who beat First Salute by another head, while Punka was a neck further back. The winner is a wonderfully improved horse, and including a dead heat he has won his last five engagements. There was just a doubt as to whether he would hold out the mile and a half, but he answered that question in great style, the time being a New Zealand record. Eleus i ran a. fine race, but lie was unlucky to j be beaten by AfaioLa, and it looked as if the Southland horse would have won if he bad bad a bit. more room in the straight. First Salute carried his weight well but had to go over a bit more ground than the other pair round the home turn. Punka began slowly, but she finished with a fine run. and looks as if she. was gett/imr back to her best form. After the first four there was a gap, a>nd then came Lovemotchfollowed bv Vespucci, who was ridden bv R Markie. while Deeley was on Red Ribbon, a, bit further back- Tenterfield and Client were in the rear most of the war - . Tbo-re w-ere six competitors for the Wrilington Stakes. Rational was a screaming hot favourite, and he amply justified the confidence of bis admirer*, 'll? was always near the front, and was clear of Anomaly when they reached the course proper. Anomaly threatened danger at the distance as the whip was drawn on the favourite, who responded in convincing style and won easilv. He is a brilliant galloper, and with the exception of Merroin, it is hard to pick His equa.l among this season’s two-year-olds. Tt remains to be seen, however, whether he will stay, and probably be will always be at Ins boat over a sprint course- Anomaly, who 'fU’od second place, is a useful sorr of K coif, bv Kins Mark from Hoy. and bo looks like being useful later on Kickoff bad every nuance but he could not. extend tbe pair in front, mbile Tommy Rot ran a. moderate race.

Going Up began smartly and scon opencd out n gap from the rest of the fieldamong whom Statuette, Astinom® and Chimera were prominent. Going bp was a-ill clear when the course proper was reached, but she was stopping, and a little further on she dropped out very rapid!'-, leaving Statuette out in front, Balov.- the distance Warplane came -with a rattle on the outside, but though he was only half a length awav at the finish Statuette won comfortably- Tt was a smart performance and stamped the winner as h top-class sprinter, removing a!! doubt regarding the merit of her victory in the Railway Handicap at Kllerslie on Boxing T>ar- 'Warplane began slowly and had a: big gap to bridge -- over tbs"last half of the journey. Judged on the way he finished ho'onl-v has to. get out decently to maKe him took a certainty for a good race Rinser,-, was going on well in third place tost clear of Miss Mimic,, who did not begin smartly enough to .ha ve, a winning chance, though she finished strongly.

Tt was quite a good ending to a decent day’s 'port.

HAWKE’S BAY NOTES. (Special to the tl Star.”) NAPIER, January 20. Mr Paul Hunter, of Porangahau. has purchased the iour-year-old gelding Harangue, by Demosthenes —Te Puia. The backers of Hawke's Bay horses at Treutbam had rather a good innings. three firsts and a second dividend coming their way. Alaioha was greatly fancied by Hastings sports for the Cup, as was Statuette for the Telegraph HandicapA Maori lady at the AVairoa races had a big win over Oravria’s success in the Carroll Memorial Handicap on the second day. and her hilarity at the success of the outsider was so great as to call pointed attention to the fact that the lady had a very full purse. The attention her good fortune attracted seemed to have dawned on her after a time and how to place the money in safe keeping was a problem. Eventually she decided to seek the assistance of the law, and approaching a constable the following colloquy took place: *• IVhai vou do pleeceman, you sec me too full? You take me in charge, eh?” ” Yes, if you were too full I should have to take you in charge, so don’t get too full.” “ By gorrv T know ie liettor thing than that. See my purse. I< too full. You take it in charge, eh The constable seeing the force of the lady’s argument took her purse in charge until the bank opened, when its contents wore discharged with a caution. Jockey F. Cress i? not in the best of healh at present and he is suffering from chest trouble contracted while on active service. He intends entering the Pukeora Sanatorium for treatment. The nasal trouble from which Maioha suffers in moist weather evidently does not affect his galloping and staying, for his 2min Jlsec in the Wellington Cup is the fastest time yet recorded in the Dominion.

This season’s crop of two-year-oids appear to be faster than those of last season judging by the results of the Royal Stakes at Ellerslie, the_ Electric Plate at Riccarton, and the "Wellington Stakes at Tronthara.

GREAT ENGLISH RIDERS. ARCHER AND OTHERS. Over thirty-four years ago—to be exact. on November 8. 18Sfb—the racing world was startled by the news that Fred Archer had shot himself in a moment of mental aberration following on an attaek of typhoid fever. Thus came to an end the career of probably the greatest rider of all . time—or at all events (says the “ Sporting Life ”) the most successful. Archer, who was born in the west, country in January, 1857,. early in life displayed riding abilitv of no mean order, while at his zenith he headed the list of winning jockeys during thirteen consecutive seasons, on eight occasions passing the 200 mark. Archer may have had bis critics, hut there was no getting away from the fact that he could ride winners, while he was particularly successful on horses with a kink in their tempers; and history recalls how he- forced the erratic Peter to win the Royal Hunt Cup after

he (Peter, not. Archer) had stopped to kick, in the course of the race. There L no need to attempt to go into detail concerning even A,rcher’s most important victories, though it may be noted that ho won the Derby five times. About the only important event which ho could not claim a victory was the Cambridgeshire, and it was largely in consequence of his wasting to ride St , Mir in in the Houghton Handicap just prior to his death, and his disappointment at losing, that his end was 50 untimely and tragic. Possible Archer’s greatest rival was George Ford ham. At any rate the record of the latter against the champion would bear favourable comparison with those of the majority of their contemporaries. Fordham was, however, surprisingly unsuccessful in the Derby, which he’won but once, on Sir Pevys in 1878. And Sir Bevys was probabl'v one of the worst horses to s-cor© in the Epsom classic. Notable riders of the eighties and nineties were Charles Wood. Tom Cannon. John Watts, George and Fred Barrett.. Tom and Sam Loates, and Mornington Cannon. Tran Gannon and Watts were among the best on two-vear-olds. but all were capable horsemen, The only ones remaining are Wood. Mornv Cannon and Sam Loates, but the pair first named have practically dropped out. locates, as everyone knows, is these days n successful trainer.

At a slightly later period one of the few really wonderful boy riders came to the front. Reference is made to Walter Bradford, who for n few seasons quite held his own with the seniors—and without tfre aid of the ” apprentice allowance,” too- Bradford, however, put on a.voidupois in a hurry, and was soon a welter weight. In 1897 there was a- revolution in the etvle of riding. Yhie was the year in which Tod Sloan came to this country, and so great was the success of riders affecting the" " American crouch, which was the' chief item in Sloan’s repertory. that . roost of the English, jockeys adopted the style, which has remained, iri a more or lose* modified form, to this day. Other Americans who made their presence felt in the Old Country -were the brothers Lester and John nr Reiff. J. H. Martin and Dannv Mah er> others of lesser note from across the “ Herring Pond "’ invaded England.

Apart, however, from Maher and Martin, the majority of tlm invaders ” were only temporary visitors. Tu spit© of the remarkable triumphs of Sloan probably roost judge- of racing would award the palm In ?Jaher as a rider. “ Danny ” achieved immense popularity, which was. moreover, thoroughly deserved. Lord Rosebery vas .one of his most staunch patrons, and for the wPremier the American had the satisfaction of winning the Derby of 1905 on Oirero. He was also on the back of several other notable bearers of the primrose and rose livery, while he won the premier classic on Sir James Miller’s. Rock Sand, and Major Eustace Loder’s Snearmint. Most of the other races of note• also - fell to the share of the jockey named, who was unquestionable one of the host of recent years. “Danny," however, made one or two mistakes. ;mrl when Baynrdo was beaten by magic in the Goodwood Cup ten years ago not even Maher's most, enthusiastic admirer would argue that the American had ridden one of his

" Maher had a formidable competitor for the championship in Frank AYootton. sod of Dick Wootton, the trainer. Frank was a very young boy when he came to this country, and was only thirteen years of age when he rode his first winner here.. This was at Folkstope. AYootton for some years after this met 'with extraordinary success, and though, like Fordham. he did not do much in the Derby—which event, in fact, lie failed to v in—he was on the back of Swynford when Lord Derby s colt won the St Legev, while he scored a triumph in tb© Grand Prix de Paris on Houli eight years ago. He likewise rode Perola when that filly won the Oaks of 1909. His handicap wins were too numerous to mention. AYootton eventually found it difficult to keep his weight within reasonable limits, and a few years ago h© retired. We may, however, see him in the saddle during the forthcoming National Hunt season ; and it may be said that he is no novice at the- crosscountry part of the business. Since Moot ton’s retirement - the. leading jockey has unquestionably been Stephen Donoghuc- Dotiogbue has yet to achieve his ambition to win the Derby on the favourite. Indeed, he has vet to register his first win in iho great Epsom race. He has. however, twice won the substitute Derby, which is something to lie going on with, and the real thing should be coming along sooner or later. Still, if a plebiscite were taken on the question of the greatest race winner of the past forty years one opines that Fred Archer would head the poll.
