The Riccarton track? have received a great soaking during the fist couple of days and they were very soft this morning Some of the horses with engagements at Trcnihom were given usetuJ tasks, but n number cl the trainers contented tbemsekxs with road'exorcise. Farceur has done no work lately, from which it would appear ns, if the brilliant three-year-old is rgain amiss. H. J. Mason has so far experienced little luck with the descendants of An %urd he has hod in his stable. To-night'a stoamo*. ter Wellington will carry n few horses who .are to rare at Trentham. while the remainder of the Riccarton competitors are booked to make the trip to morrow' and on Thursday. Most of the Canterbury horses who competed at the "Wellington Trotting Club’s meeting on Saturday hare returned home. Some of fhom were shipped back by Saturday night's: boat, while those who arrived this morning were- White Lupin. Brown wood. Lor-a-nda Jack. Tanhinu. Change. Lad-.-Logan and Kingsmocr. The Afanawatu Trotting Club's inert ing will 1 m held to-morrow. Tlv. fields are large for all the events and a few Canterbury horses will be competing Deucalion has come, into favour for the Wellington Gup during the last, few days, and it will be no surprise if hr one of the popular fancies on the totalizator on Saturday. He has won up to a mile and a quarter and when he •scored over that distance at M in gat m ou Boxing Day. he finished so strongly as to suggest that a mile and a half would be well wititin his compass. Insurrection has been a very unlucky performer this season, but on his recent running he must have a great chance in the Wellington Ann. a race he won last year. Scion carried 7»«. ICIH when he won the New Zealand Cup. and as he has since captured tn* Auckland Cup, he must be accounted very lucky lu get into the \\elUn&ton Cup at Bst 10u> In some quartet? he was considered lucky to win at Auckland, but the lac!, remains that he got the money, and now has paid very little tor liis sucess Good accounts are to hand concerning the two-year-old Suggest,on, who is engaged in the i 'it-zherbert Handicap at Trentham on Saturday. He started twice at the Wairarapa meeting for a win and a second. Being by KiJbroney from Imagination, by Birkenhead irem Culmination, a sister to Elevation, he is bred to be a good one-, and it is on the cards that he will carry Mr W. E Bid will’s colours with distinction in important events before the end of the season. The trotting stallion Rex- d’Oro, whe was imported from America a feu months ago, has completed a light stud season and F. Holmes now has him ir training with a view to racing in the autumn. Change, who finished in second plact in his engagement at the Wellingtor Trotting Club’s meeting ou Saturday was so heavily re-handicapped for eacl of his engagements at the Manawati meeting that his owner decided t< bring him home. Cool Stimulants had not won a rsc< prior to his suooess in the County Han dicap at the Bay of Islands meeting or Monday, but he gave further evidence of improved form later in the day when he ran a dead head with Ami form in the Kawakawa Handicap. H« is an Australian bred gelding by Cool trim, whose representatives in the Do minion include Punka. The three-year-old colt Sheffield, s winner at the Bay of Islands meetini on Monday, has shown very useful fom on more than one occasion thfa sea son and it will he no surprise to fim him eventually taking his place in t,h< best handicap company. He was href in Australia and he boasts an excep t-ional pedigree. His sire. Bright Steel is an English bred horse by St Simoi Irom Glare, by Ayrshire from Foot light, by Cremorne from Paraffin, & rbat bo comes from one of the most sue cessfut families in the Stud Book. Shef field’s dam, Diane, is also an Englisl importation, being by Wolf’s Crag fron Liamaine, and therefore a. sister to Din acre, one of the leading sires of Au« tr*lia.. Sir Otway, who won the ooucludim event at the Bay of Rands meeting, i a brother to Surveyor, by Nassau frpr Pedometer He was a gift to Mr W G. Stead from the Australian sports man. Mr O Falkiner Great thing were expected from him as a two-year old but Mr Stead .soon tired of him. H has so far nroved onlv a. moderate am it is doubtful if he will ever reach de cent class.

The broed mare D.1.C., who died recently, was one of the. most successful matrons in the New Zealand Trotting Stud Book. She was bred by the late Mr John Kerr in 1894. being by Young Irvington from Flora, by Berlin by .’i mare by Tribune, a son of Traducer. She was raced by the late H. Hendricksen. for whom she rook a mile record oi 2iq.in 2-5.2-ssec. On going to the stud she was an immediate success. To "Wildwood she produced Monica. Miss Florrie C. and Papnnui, all successful performers. Then came Mauretania (by Mauritius), Sylvie (by Franz). 0.1. C. (by O.Y.M ) Admiral Wood (by Wildwood Junior) Mabel Wood (by Wildwood Junior), Peter Mac (bv Potereta). Petuson (bv Pe.tereta), and a colt, now a four-year-old. by Great Audubon. Most of the progeny of D J.C won good races, while some of them have bred on successfully. The speedy pacer Gleaming is getting through light tasks at New Brighton. He is still unsound and it seems doubtful if he will ever survive a solid preparation . The New Brighton trainer, J. X. Clarke, has a. useful team under his care at present. Wild Thvme. Lucy Pointer. Fernmoor and Proud Logan' arc recent additions to his stable. The Hawke's Bay trainer. F. Davis. wiH have Queen March, Orofino. Lucius and Killashandia racing at the Wellington meeting. Though Boomerclav failed to win a race at the Auckland Racing Club's summer meeting, he has raced * very successfully at minor fixtures in Auckland this season. He won the Te Awamutu Cup and the Rotorua Cup in December. while this week hr captured the Bav of Islands Cup. defeating a useful- field. While feeding at a box fixed in hi» paddock at Ellcrslir. the Three .ear old Fingoland was troubled by flies. an.! while pawing h<- stuck a nail through an artery in his leg. He bled freelv but did not inflict a severe wound. The Finland gelding is to be blistered an i riven a spell. The Southland Racing Club’s sum weather, will show a profit of £1206 The club ha« a lug building scheme ::: view, and the financial success ul the meeting is decidedly encouraging. AUCKLAND RACING. BAY OF ISLANDS MEETING. (Special to the “ Star.”) AUCKLAND, January 15. The Bay of :-lands Having Lino's annual meeting was held at jHierslie to clay anu provided some good racing. jhe o) ivmug event. tne Ohaeawni testa ms. Orai.gn, wi.o tell at .the last hurdle on Saturday, w lien looking Into a vmner, was trie popular choice, with Miss Meiva, Hereto.> and -Peter Araans also well supported. Lady Bruce ana Wish \Vyn.iv pi.oted tiiv held past the stand, but going down the hack V. ish V* ynne led from Peter Araans, Lady Bruce and Miss Meiva. Peter A mans took charge at the five furlong post, attended by Lady Bruce, and going on won comfortably. Oranga’s jockev lost a stirrup and pulled up. while* Miss Meiva fell, which occurrences gave Peter A mans every chance, (he winner promise's to be useful, though he is rather high strung at present. Dancing Doll was favourite for the Kaikohe Handicap, which attracted twenty runners, though support was well distributed. Polani was first to begin, but Matatour soon displaced her. Dancing Doll, Lady Merriwee, Utakura and .Just Quietly also being prominent. Racing round the turn Malatour was well clear of Dancing Doll, Just' Quietly, Rosullus and King Peßicule. ’ The leader went on to win nicely. King Pellicuie and Rosullus finished ou well, Dancing Doll being fourth. Of eight starters for the County Handicap. Broad wood was best supported. Cool Stimulants was soon in front, his nearest attendants being Crowhurst, Landslide and Namutere. Entering the straight Cool Stimulants was leading from Landslide, Broadwood and Miss LucuHus. Going on m good style. Cool Stimulants won comfortably, Landslide easily holding Broadwood. Namutere was close up fourth. The winner has shown consistent form of late and should win again before long. He lias plenty of size and should carry weight well. The five furlong sprint race, the Russell Handicap, produced thirteen two and three-year-olds. Sleepy Sol being best supported. Nocturne and Sheffield were the early leaders, and they led round the turn, with Monday, Sleepy Sol and Shebang handy. Once in line for the post, Sheffield 'drew out to win comfortably. Shebang finished close up fourth, with Sleepy Sol and Monday following. The winner is. a useful sort, who should develop with age. The Bay of Islands Cup was a good race. Refinement was first selection but plenty of support was forthcoming for Loyal Trish. Boomerday. Ruapapa and Perfect Day. Some bumping at the start caused Ruapapa: to lose his rider. Loyal Irish shot to the front. Refinement, Boomerday, Poteen and Stork following. Going along the hack stretch Boomerday raced to the front and led into the straight from Loyal Irish. Royal Abbey and Refinement. In tbe run to the post Loyal Irish, Refinement and Stork all challenged, but Boomerday held them off in good style. Of the six runners for the Kawakawa Handicap. Amiform was a good favourite, with Infante, Golden Bubble and Bretland also well supported. It was an exciting race. Golden Bubble made the pace until entering the straight, when Coo] Stimulants and Amiform challenged. In a great struggle down the straight, the two last-named passed the post locked together, with Golden Bubble well beaten. and Quaestor fourth Amiform has shown greatly improved form of late and should go a distance later on Narrow Neck was a good favourite for the Maromaku Handicap, with Te Akitai. Potoa Queen and Souterlna fairly well supported. The favourite justified public expectations. coming I away to win nicely in the straight. Te

Akitai and Lady Kerman showed pro mi sing form. A surprise was recorded in the Welter Handicap, the concluding event of the meeting. Sir Otway coming through at the finish in fine style to win decisively. Gold Jacket was favourite in a field of seventeen, with Gold Plane. Archie, Pentagram and Bitholia all well backed Sir Otway being fourteenth in public estimation. Tressor soon rushed to the front, followed by Pentagram. Canowindrn and Royal Abbey. The field bunched entering the straight. Then Royal Abbey got through on the rails and looked like winning, when Sir Otwav came along with a great rattle and won handsomely. Gold Jacket was fourth, with Onnowindra. Bitholia and Marble Bell close up. ACCEPTANCES. W A TRIO JDCK EY CLU B. (Prr Pnrss Association.) INVERCARGILL, January ]5.
