The first, race eJicli day of the Metro* poll tan Trotting Club’s meeting will be started at eleven o’clock. Proceedings will open at the same time at the Canterbury Jockey Club’s fixture. < . Christie arrived from Wingatui night with Lochella. General Advance. Mips Muriel and JoflFre. They all look well. \* F. Shaw has arrived at Riooarton from M'ingatm with St»aff Officer and P.mmur^. K iJlo'.vcn, vrtio won the AViuter Cup last .'ear, has put in an appearaur-o at Riccarton. Pamploma. a half brother by Pallas, t© Lochella. is among the latest arrivals at Riccarton from the south. He will carry Mr F. C. Hazlett s colours in hunters’ events at the Grand National meeting. Good fields may bo looked for in most departments of the Grand National programme- next week, but the hunters’ races may prove an exception ThtingJj Fisher has been allowed to drop out of the Grand National Steeplechase, h© retains bis engagement in the Grand National Hurdle Handicapu \o horse has succeeded in winning the Grand National double in one year. (,'oroglen is th© only horse who is ougaged in both the big jumping races next week. After their moderate displays at the South Canterbury Hunt Club’s meeting. it was no surprise to find Jack Symons and Hard Hit missing from the list of final acceptors for the Grand National Steeplechase. The surprise of the AVinter Cup list, when the final acceptances were announced, wa* the absence of the name of Dainty Step, who had. been a prime favourite ever sin**© the weights appeared Tt is understood that the Luculhi® mare is suffering from a cold. Man aw a pan g© was the only hor«e to drop out of tlie Grand National Hurdle Handicap at the final acceptance. He is engaged in the Beaufort Steeplechase. to be tup the same day, and this should suit him much better than the hurdle race. Of the thirteen final acceptors for the Grand National Hurdle .Handicap. °nl y Coalition, Lochella, Coroglen. Waimai, Crib and Master Hamilton have so far put in an appearance on the tracks at Riccarton. Mont of the Grand National Hurdle candidates are on the ground, the exceptions being Fisher, Crosswords, Sir Fanciful and "Whipcord. Coalition holds his place a-s favourite for the Grand National Steeplechase, but Coroglen is gaining admirers! while Sturdee, though not on the .scene yet, can also claim many supporters. From present indications Alteration i' likely to start a strong favourite in the Grand National Hurdle Handicap. Rea the rsprig, who ran second to' Killowon in the Winter Cup last August, is coming into favour again for the same race. Fit prop has dropped out of both his '•ngapements on the first day of IJ.*> Grand National meeting, and it »* ■ ioijbtful if he will be a competitor : l Riccarton next week. The. Kno-lish-rod gelding is a good galloper but he nas had a chequered career. Master Hamilton is tlio sole hope of Riccarton stables in the Grand Naiional Steepler-base, while Gamecock .-cnpira a similar position in the Glaml National Hurdles. The Auckland Raring Club will disinbute €73,1 f)0 in stakes this season, compared with £fil,4oo last season and £49,350 in 1919-20! There will be no rare worth less than £SOO at in retings of tbe Auckland Rar '»« Club tins season. At the "iontlil, meeting of the com i >i"Mro of tbe.

'the death is reported from Syduov of Mr Robert Craig, who at one time was a prominent figure in Australian rating circles, and who will lie best known to New- Zealanders as the owner ot Yum Yum, a remarkably fine squarejraited trotter who raced with considerable success in the Dominion.

Tn. an interview on tlio work of the Racing Commission Mr L. C. Haalett. '. ice-president of the Dunedin Jockey Club, said, inter alia : “ One thing that strikes me as unreasonable is this: that until Parliament rejects the scheme, riie issuing of permits is not to be granted 1o those clubs that ore recommended to be abolished. Take such • bibs as Avo idale arid Napier Park. They race early in the season, and will not know- where they arc. even if Parliament meets at the end of September, for this racing matter is not, likely to he rushed through an „*v matter of urgency. If a club is to h© knocked on the head, it is surely entitled to -orne reasonable notification. AA e do as much as that for condemned murderers.” . Mr B. Trish. who furnished the w in- I nev of this year’s Ascot Gold Cup with ! Periosteum, is described as a tenant! farmer. Tie bought Periosteum as a yearling for 285 gs.
