Acceptances for the Kurow Jockey Club's meeting will close to-morrow evening. There was not a great deal ot excitement about the training operations at Riccarton this morning. The .inside of the trial grass was open for last work, but comparatively few of the horses wore stretched out, most of those who competed at Ashburton last week being treated to easy tasks. P. V. Mason was among the early workers, but he kept most- ot his team to easy tasks on the plough. Winning Hit was given a useful working gallop over a mile ; Whipping Roy accompanying him over the last six furlongs. Angelo, with Red Hind as a mate over th© last six furlongs, reeled off a mile, moving in good style all through. The two-yoar-old Murihaupo (Sunny l^ake—Equitas) sprinted half a mile nicely in 50 4-ssec. Contempt and Limelight covered seven furlongs in liuin 30 3-osec, finishing together, with both going on well. Triermain, assisted over the last half mile by Sharp Burst, was worked over aix furlongs at a sound pace. The Reaver and Prosperity were restricted to half pace work on the plough. where Counterstroke and Wharfedale did steady work. Scrimmage ran half a mile comfort ably on the plough, and Distant Shot was given a useful task on the same track.

Warbu© moved freely over seven furlongs on the plough. Primera going with him for the first half-mile.

Glentruin ran down, comfortably from the half-mile post-

Headlong jumped two hurdles well and then beat Trevella over half a mile m olsee.

Macduff, carrying a big weight, was going much better than Wartune the end of six furlongs. run in fair time, and Battle Scene was given easy exercise.

Boadir-oa, giving away some weight, "'as going well alongside Jazz at the end of five furlongs, run in lmin 4sec. Markie and .Sweetwater did a working gallop over half a mile, Blue Streak :ir»d a mate equalling their performance. ■Eighteenpenc© had th© two-year-old Lucinette (Martian—Lady Lucy) as a mate in a half-mile sprint, ,vm in 49 1-Sscc. Castellan sprinted half a. mile comfortably. Bellfire and Deucalion being given similar tasks. * Too Chow, looking none the worse for hi* race last week, did useful packing on the plough. Cerberus covered six furlongs in lmin i* ii-osoc, a bmart performance. Sir Huon, assisted over the last part by Tatau Tatau. ran six furlongs in Limn lttseo, going well. Some Kid was going comfortably alongside Falstaff at the end of six furlongs, whioli they left behind in lmin 17 4-ss®c. Many Kittle was given a useful working gallop over seven furlongs. Romanoe easily defeated Warlike over a mile, which they covered in lmin 46 2-ssec. Kilderg was going comfortably with Diane 11 a, at the end of half & mile in 49 3-osec.

The two-year-olds Goosestep (Nassau —War step) and Tiff (Martian —Lady Disdain) were companions in a sprint d6wn the straight.

Phil May jumped two hurdles smartly acd afterward* did uteful peeing.

Th© two-year-olda Owlscoshbe (Autuimin —GlenowietK Top Score (Anrum mis—Winning Way), Viewpont l Autumn us—Telescop©) and DinnerBell (Autumnixs —Full Speed) were sprinted down the straight in pairs.

Quarrelsome and Pyjama were associated over half a mile in 50 2-oseo. The Antagonist gelding. Wild Night, who is owned in Southland, has joined K. Sutherland’© team at Riccarton, and will be educated as a jumper. Heiro and Fobrinade have- resumed work at Riccarton, a£ter being off the sceene for some time. The practice barrier at Riccarton will be available to-morrow morning when it is probable that most of the trainers will avail themselves of th* opportunity to give their young horses some education. Sal Tasker (dam of Sal Pointer ari l Coldstream Bells' has foaled a c-olt to Harold Dillon, and Ma Belle (dain of Saint« Bell) lias foaled a filly to the same sire. Both mbares will ba mated with Ballin this season. Para, winner of a <even furlong hack race at Otaki on Saturday, is a tliree-year-old sister to Wamba, by Absurd from Cintra. She is a stable mate of Enthusiasm, and she has the reputation of being a useful galloper. Two stables hare monopolised the three-year-old classic races in the North Island so far. Tn the Wanganui Guineas Rapine was beaten by Highland, a member of F. Davis’s team, while in the Avondale Guineas yesterday Raping was successful, soccnd place being filled by Lucius, another inmate of Davis’s stable. .T. H. Jefferd’s stable looks like being very strong in three-year-olds this sea son. T n addition to capt-tiring the Avondale Guineas yesterday with Rapine. he provided the winner of the Plumpton Handicap, in which King’s Trumpeter beat, a useful field. Homage, who filled third place in the Nursery Handicap at Avondale yesterday . is a siyter to Epitaph, by Absurd—Eulogy. She has been boomed as a. brilliant galloper but this is her first money earning effort in three starts. Enthusiasm, the winner of the principal event at the Otaki meeting on Saturday, is a well-bred three-year-old filly by Panmiire from Martin (dam of Cherry Mart), by Martian from the imported mare Perolina, by Persimmon. Last season Enthusiasm won once in eight starts. She has the reputation of being pretty smart, and there was some merit, in Saturday’s performance. This is th© best stake won by the progeny of Panmurc. History repented itself at Otaki on Saturday, when Solfanello won the Flying Handicap, as he was successful in the same race last year, when he came on to Riccarton and captured the Stewards’ Handicap. Saturday’s victory shows the brilliant Solferino gelding to be in good fettle* at present, and be will have to be reckoned with again in important events this season. The Avondale Stakes, the first of the good stakes for two-year-olds, provided further evidence of the precocity of Absurd’s nupgeny. The winner. Bathos, is by Ab©urrl from Amyrim, by Bezoninn—Antyris, by Gold Reef. He was bred bt- Mr J. Gleeson and was sold last autumn for 600 guineas to Mr A. B. Williams, in whose colours Epitaph raced so well lost season. Gasbag appears to have come on very rapidly since he raced at Wanganui, as he ran a good race in the Avondale Gup in which he beat all but Royal Present. The public was well prepared for the improvement, ns Gasbag went out favourite. If he keeps sound he looks certain t-o win a lot of money in long distance races this season. Royal Present, who won the Avondale Cup on Saturday. i«» an Australian bred font-year-old by the Multiform horse Reragoon. who was a liigliclass performer at two and three years. Rummi, a three^vear-old brother to Royal Present. heat The Shag at Moorefield a few weeks ago and he has since been mentioned as a. Derby possibility. Royal Present was purchased as a yearling in Sydney by Mr E. W. Alison, junr, for 100 guineas, but lie met with a mishap and was a gift to his present owner. Mr W. J. Wilson, who had to devote a lot of time to the horse before he got- all right. He has been richly rewarded, however, as he won three races lart autumn and has opened this season with a rich stake. AVONDALE RACES(Special to the “ Star.” AUCKLAND, September 25. The Avondale Jockey Club’s meeting was concluded to-day in line weather. The opening event, the Kingslanu Hurdle Handicap, produced a field of nine. Dempsey was favourite, others to receive support being Hyginas, Alteration and Guerre a Mort. Hyginas took up the early running, followed by Guerre a Mort, Dempsey and Mimi whaugata. Along the back stretch i.i the last round Guerre a Mort, going very freely, took charge, Tenacious moving up to second place, Hyginas itnd Dempsey being the only others with any chance. Running on. well, Guerre a Mort easily held hi« own.

The Nursery Handicap provided a great race between the placed horses. Of seven starters. Ballymena was first choice, with Queen March, Homage and Director next*. Homage shot away from th© barrier, but was soon joined by Queen March. Ballymena was three lengths away entering the straight, but, getting a run next th© rails, he set out after the leaders. Queen March was beaten inside the distance, and a duel between Ballymena and Homage ended in a. narrow' victory for the former. A section of tbe crowd mad® a demonstration again® tbe judge’© placing. Tlie AvondrJe Guinea© was a fine race, the good staying quality of .Rapine carrying him through. Rapine was favourite, other® supported being Far North, Lucius, Matinee and Bonny Canny in that order. Matinee dashed to tlie front from the barrier, with Tactful, Shebang and Lucius as her closest attendants going along the baok of the field. Approaching the straight Lucius ran up to Matinee, but was joined immediately by Far North. Rapine came with a fine run and won comfortably at the finish, Matinee going on to get fourth.

A useful field of fifteen paraded for the' Plumpton Handicap- Golrl Kip was the popular fancy, others supported being ’lie Archie-Tireless brack et. King's Trumpeter, Uncle Ned, and Tame Fox. King's Trumpeter was first to begin, but Machree sejon displaced him. showing the nay along the hack, with Prince Jewel, Martial Dawn and King’s Trumpeter next. Income ion to the front at the four-furlong post, and looked like seeing it out*, but at the distance King's Trumpeter challenged and won handily Royal Abbey came fast in the straight. Admiral C odrington was fourth, wit i Uncle Ned, who finished well, next. The were nine staiters for* the Steeplechase, but only four finished. Koura was favourite but he came to grief early. Au interesting finish saw Signature outstay Poltliogue and Tenacious. while Ma Copper was the only other to finish. The President’s Handicap saw thirteen acceptors go to the post. Pavo was most fancied. Tama-a-roa. Namutere, Civil form and Dovelot also getting good support. Civilform and Namutere were immediately rushed to the front, followed by Dovelot. This order wamaintained till entering the straight, where Killakhandra and Callaghan be came prominent. A great race to th*> box saw Killishandra heat. Dovelot by a neck, with Callaghan close up. A large field of twenty contested the New Lynn Hack Handicap. Go d Bud was favourite, with Bitholia, Euphoria and Spirit Level all well supported. Master O’Rorke was rushed to th© front from the harrier. followed by Peter Maxwell. Maintaining hi* position info the straight, it seemed as J the Day Comet gelding would bring off a surprise, but lie tired in the run home. Bitholia and Marble Bell, coming with a good finishing run. fought out the issue. Peter Maxwell running on to get a good third. Of the fourteen starters for the Welter Handicap, Urgency was picked out as a good thing. Some Fashion. Canowindra and Kilreid also being hacked. Urgency went out and tried to win all the wav. At the straight entrance Fort Regal had command, followed by Canowindra. Vut Kilreid up to win handily. GLOAMINGS WIN HOW HE BEAT BEAUFORD Papers to hand by to-day's mail from Sydney contain particulars of the Roseliill meeting, at which Gloaming defeated Beauford in tlie Hill Stakes, ol one mile. The Sydney “ Sun.” of September 17, discussed the meeting of the two champions as follows: Rosehill had never had such a day as it did yesterday. The meeting of Beauford and Furious in the autumn did not excite one-lialf the interest that was aroused by Beauford’s attempt yesterday to concede 71b to Gloaming over a mile. The weather having cleared during the morning, all the trains were densely packed with •people, and hundreds of motor-cars .streamed along the main road. The racecourse was so thronged that it was difficult- to move about. Speculation was brisk on every race except the big one. and 34.199 was handled by the totalizator, compared with last year’s record of £30,266 15s. The general run of backers must have had a fair day. as three favourites won and most of the other winners had numerous admirers. The course was in excellent order, and the going, though a trifle holding, was thoroughly firm. The Hill Stakes, of course, was voted a, match between Beauford and Gloaming. The younger champion in consequence of his win at Randwick on the previous Saturday had a 7li> penalty : nevertheless there was such a general expectation that he would be able to coned© that to Gloaming that odds of 5 to 2 were freely laid on. Both horses moved freely as they tiotted down the straight in front of admiring thousands. There wag a little delay at the post, owing to the fractiousness of Soorak. but the two clacks got away well. Beauford was quickly in front* and it was at onco apparent that Wood was going to trv to break up the field. He ran the first two furlongs in 245, three in 36L four in 48f, and five in lmin Oisec. Wish Wynne hung on for a while, with Gloaming in her wake. At the halfmile Beauford had a break of four lengths, but in the next furlong Gloaming began to close on him, and rounded the turn with a leeway ot only two lengths. Both horses wont at a terrific pace over the sixth and seventh furlongs, which were run in 24 Jsec, making the time for seven lmin 25sec, which is extraordinary. The crowd had been cheering Beauford all the way, but that died down as Gloaming was seen to close on the flyer. .Tnst inside the distance Gloaming issued his challenge, and thou sands of onlookers were surprised to see that Beauford did not respond. The great New Zealander ran past him in a few strides, and ran home a winner with a length and a. quarter to spare. Tlie mere fact that the time for the race broke the course record on a day when the track was not fast by three-quarters of a second indicates the quality of the two horses thatfinished first and second. It was great effort on the part of the New Zealand champion, and it wag no disgrace to Beauford to be beaten in lmin 38sec. Gloaming was enthusiastically cheered os he returned to scale, and his delighted trainer, R. J. Mason, was warmly congratulated. The defeated champion was not allowed to com© in without cheers, ana many of those who cheered did not know the full merit of his performance. The three-year-old Soorak did well to run third, five lengths away from Bea uford. Randwiok,” the Sydney correspondent of the “ Australasian,” summed up the race as follows: All through the week the weathei had been wretched. The New Zealand trainer R. Mason had made it plain that if the track was extra soft Gloann mg would not be a starter. Though the suburban track got a fair share of the fall, it was nothing like so heavy as what may be termed the continuous showers at Rand-wick. Thus, though it was fine on Saturday, there was no certainty that Gleaming would be a starter, even when he arrived on the course looking, I thought, better than he did the previous week. Beauford appeared to be his same old self, and when the pen had knocked out Speciality, A 7 ioloncello, Tvenneppil and Julia Grey, a field of eight was left, with

Soornlc the only three-year-old in it. In the ring, Beauford, despite his 71b penalty, was an odds-on favourite, the offer of take 5 to 2 being the best, just at the start, that was made. This time the champions were side by side at the starting post, as Gloaming drew No. 4 and Beauford 5. Each waheartily cheered as he came out for the preliminary. A noticeable fact the sober way Gloaming acted. Nc dancing about as if he were on hot bricks, as at Randwiok. while Beaufort performed as usual. In every resped the race which ensued was totally op positc to that at Randwiok. in tlie Chelmsford Stakes- Alter a sh.cn delay the starter, Mr R. H. M’Leod

got them evenly away. Furious and The Epicure jumped out, but in a few strides Wood had Beauford in front, with “Wish Wynne on his quarter, and he was a couple of length- clear ot the brown mare at the end of two furlongs. run in 243 sec. Sailing -long, the leader was four lengths ahead at the three furlongs in 36£»ec, with Gloaming a couple of lengths away. The situation was about the same when Beauford passed the half-mile post in 48|sec. Now, Gloaming's rider did a wise thing, he took his horse out a bit on tlie sounder part of the track, which was really holding. The New Zealander began to creep up. followed by Soorak. Wish Wynne was in trouble, and as they made the turn for home the pace was still great. Beauford ran the five furlongs tn lmin Tsec. The six furlongs is awkwardly placed, and could not be timed. As they got into the straight it could lie seen that Gloaming was gradually making up his ground, and there was nothing between them at the seven furlongs, run in lmin 25secThe struggle over the last furlong was reallv tame. Beauford had no fight left in Turn, he was dying in Wood’s hands, and amidst groat cheering the bay gelding bent him cleverly by a length and a quarter, in the record time for the course of lmin 38isee On returning to scale both were heartily cheered. Tt was a great performance on the part of each, considering the state of the track, and tlie finish confirmed tlie opinion of the winner’s trainer that Gloaming was in want of a race prior to his running in the Chelmsford Stakes. Over the first six furlongs Beauford was n( his top all the way, and was asked to do an almost impossible task to win with 9st 7lb. On the other hand, it is quite nossihle that, being hardly wound up. hip severe race in the Chelmsford Stakes told on him to such an extent that he had not recovered from it. Anyway, it still leaves the dispute undecided as to which is the better horse, and will thus add interest to their next meeting in the Spring Stakes at Rondwirk. HANDICAPS. PAKURANGA HUNT CLUB.
