The Canterbury Park Trotting Clua ; has received an exceptionally good list of nominations for the winter meeting. Kvery event has filled well, and the fields will be large, not only for thu slow classes, but even for the fastest on the programme. A pleasing feature o': the list is the presence of a number ot visiting horses, including some : from Auckland. The committee of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club has decided to distribute £39,500 in stakes next season. This equals*the amount given away this season, and is £3OOO more than required by the Rules of Trotting, based on the chib’s totalisator revenue. A wrong impression was created over an incident on the second day of the South Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting last month. According to the statement officially supplied to the Press representatives, an inquiry was held into the running of Battle Scene in the Pareorn Handicap, and after the owner and rider had been hear i the explanation offered was accepted. Mr G. Fulton, the owner of Battle Scene, took exception to this versio i o‘ the case, and wrote to the club on the subject. The reply from the sec retary states that the matter was dis cussed by the committee and he was instructed to inform Mr Fulton that the calling of the rider, J. T. Euinphris, related to his conduct and had nothing whatever to do with Mr Fulton. The Ashburton County Racing Club is having a new stand erected in the north-west corner of the saddling pad dock. It will accommodate about 600 people, and it should be greatly appreciated at next week’s meeting, as it will relieved the pressure on the grandstand. Auckland horses had a very successful time at the .Egmont meeting this week, winning ten races during the two Po;thogue. the winner of the open steeplechase on the second day of the F.gmont meeting is a ten-year old geld ing by Potanurs, the sire of Coalition. Four years ago Polthogue was successful in the same race, following it uo by capturing a double at Wanganrn end later the Hawke’s Bay Steeple chase. Some time later he won a hurdle race, after which he had a long string of failures till he won again over hurdles, a few months ago, at. Stratford. He may get some more 1 money in steeplechases during the winter, but he is not up to top class. Mu:ketoon, who won the opening, event on the second day at Egmont, is an imported three-year-old by Steadfast. He has not done much racing in the Dominion, but he is credited with being a smart galloper, who is •ik*ly to develop into a first-class performer when he is thoroughly wound T jraire, who won the principal event the first day of the Forbury Park (Sub’s meeting, was a very uulucky performer in the early part of his racing career. He commenced a? a two-year-old by finishing second to Ohilde Pointer in the Sapling Stakes ft Ashburton—his only start. At three years he was three times second and three times third, while as a four-year-old he was twice third. Rk* has atoned this season for his early ba i lock, having won seven races and been third in three others, earning a total of £2335 in stakes for the season. Hr* is not a good beginner, but his great stamina has served him well at the end of his races.

FORBURY PARK TROTS.

FIRST DAY. (Special to the “ Star.") DUNEDIN, May 10. The weather was splendid and there was a good attendance for the opening day of the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s meeting. The track had dried wonderfully, very little mud being seen for the earlier races, and when halfway through the programme the track was in really good order, although naturally slow. The racing was interesting, and in a few cases quite exciting. There was a demonstration against the judge’s decision in the seventh race, most of the people being satisfied that Peter King had beaten Bonny Logan for. first place, whilst in the last race the crowd gathered round and roundly dissented from the placing by the judge of Ben Qliau in front of Fashion Queen for second place. The management of the meeting was good. Some time was lost over the first few races, but it was picked up and the last race was finished actually on schedule time. The scratching and jockeys’ board >vas ol ; a most primitive nature and will have to be improved at once, if the club wishes to keep up to date with its appointments. There was a large field for the mile and five furlongs saddle race for trotters. but it was not a good contest, as nearly half the horses met trouble at the start and only the lucky ones had any chance off the front. There was plenty of room for the back markers once they got clear of the breaking lot in front. Ladv Elwood was, one that got into trouble early, hut she got clear and finally won easily. She is locally owned. Bon Sonty got away badly, otherwise he would have won. as he went fast at the end. General Derby looked all over a winner with a round to go. hut he broke a hundred yards from home, when he had a good lead and finished fourth. Arran Lad looked like catching the leaders hut did not ttot steadily. Wee Patch went a good race, whilst her condition lasted. She is a useful sort. Mat Patch, the favourite. was never prominent.

Another large field contested the Domain Handicap, of a mile and five furlongs, in harness, hut it was an uninteresting race, the first and second favourites havig the contest to themselves at the finish. Quiver, bred by Mr "W . Kerr, scored his first win. He is a good pacer, who can stay. Kennerley got a good position early and came away at the end with ease. The winner will win in better company, as he looks like a good stayer. Barcelona looked at one stage to have the •-ace in hand, as lm established a- big lead, but he did not quite see out the journey. He is by Copa de Oro and created a favourable impression. Wild Pointer paced capitally, as she had none of the best of the raring in the early stages. Forbury went on to the track hut was sore and was allowed to withdraw. Miss Adonis reared up at the start, breaking her sulkv. and she returned to the ruddock. >n a field of nine Hclenwood was favourite for the Innovation Handicap, with Peter Swift the next best supported. The favourite went off badly and lost all her haudicap. Once she settled to her work she showed as much speed as any in the race. Bundaber-V and Peter Swift travelled, from the back mar together, caught the leaders and went on. When- in a good position. Peter Swift broke and Rundaberg, taking command, won easily. ’Hie winner is a good horse in heavy going. He won at Auckland when the track was heavy. If Helenwood had gone off right she could not have lost, as she was only beaten by a couple of lengths and put up a good performance once she settled to trot. Lottie Direct was also trotting well at the end.' ater a slow start. Alpha Wilkes went much better than her track form indicated. Tipperary went very badly, and so did Claude Alto. Peter Swift showed plenty of speed, but was unsteady. There was really a fine race for the chief two-mile event. Albert Cling, Emperor (who went off badly), Peter Mae and Paul Dufault never looked like winning, but the rest had a chance until a furlong from home. In the concluding piece Taraire showed his great stamina and scored another win. He did not go off too well, and was some distance back ip the early part. Once he got properly going he paced a solid race and outstayed the whole field. He was a most unfortunate horse early in his career, but he is having a great season, having won seven races, some of them with good stakes. Ladv Joan was always handy, as she followed Pedro Pronto till lie stopped. She went away fast and paced a really good race. The track seemed to suit her. Willie Lincoln, after plugging behind till the straight, put in a fine finish and got third. It was a good effort. Grand Denver went a peculiar race, showing speed, but breaking more than once. He ’looked as though he would have beaten ull his opponents had he gone right throughout, especially as Taraire did not commence well. Jack

Arrah went a good race till a furlong from home. He was in the front* crowd till hen. Trix Pointer did not seem able to get near the leaders. Pedro Pronto compounded nearly half a mile from home, .after leading the field to that point. Albert. Cling put no dash into his work, nor did Paul Dufault. Harry Audubon and Fernmoor were the only two solidly-backed in the Beach Handicap. The former went away badfy andj later broke up when in a good position. Fernmoor turned round at the start and lost quite a hundred yards. Linden, driven a patient race by Hooper, got a good run at the end and won easily. He is an improving sort, who goes equally well in .saddle or harness, and over any distance. Fashion Queen was responsible for a solid race. The Gore-owned mare was just beaten at the end. Bing Boy, ttfce outsider of the field, paced well, and only faded qut in the final fur long. Wallroon went a good, honest race. Fernmoor showed exceptional speed once he got away. Brown Chequer staved better than was anticipated. Mangoutu won the St Clair Haidnacp in convincing fashion. She did not begin fast but once she got into her gait properly she gradually caught Count Dee ‘and easily beat him for speed at the end. Mangoutu is becoming more reliable at the start and is trotting solidly. She showed exceptional speed in the preliminary. Count Dee, who bore a well-trained appearance, bad again to put up with second place, after trotting a solid race. He .seems destined to be always beaten. Darkest, who had been working badly, trotted reliably in third place. Admiral Derby went a good race for a mile and a half. The Squire went very unsteadily. Bundaberg. penalised 24yds, trotted another convincing race? Dixie Mac finished fast. First Fashion met with interference three furlongs from home and Kenner ley was thrown out. At the end of six furlongs it looked as though the Renown Handicap would result in a triangular battle between Peter King, Don side and Dalnahine, as those three-were a long way ahead of the rest and going well. Bonny Logan, however, gradually made up ground and got the judge's verdict by the narrowest of margins. From the Press stand it lookhd as if Peter King had won comfortably. Bonny Logan has done a lor of racing this season. She is a brilliant mare over short courses and retains her form wonderfully well. Peter King began on the outside of the course and quickly went to the front, and led all the way, pacing brilliantly, and he was unlucky not to get the decision. Dalnahine went- away smartly and paced a good race, hut he did not show much dash at the end of the race. Royal Step and Stockade both went away badly and had no chance. Sir Henry paced a good race all the wav. Jane* Wilkes was leading the second division hut did not stay on. Donaide. who was obviously sore, paced a remarkable race and only broke up entering the straight. Bon Wilkes made a runaway race of the mile saddle event. He* began very quickly and established such a long lead in the first half that it looked almost an impossibility for him t° he beaten. The Oamaru-owned and trained pneer won pulling up by half a dozen lengths. Hfc has won at both gaits. As a three-year-old he won the Trotting Stakes and since Lien he has been raced as a pa cor. Endowed with plenty of speed, lie is not good over a- distance. Ben Ghau went fast over the last half-mile and just got second money, hut a larcre section of the public set up a demonstration against the judge's decision, considering that Fashion Queen was second. Fashion Queen, who was favourite, began badly. Had she gone off correctly it is doubtful if she would have been beaten. Downcast, another heavily hacked starter, also stood on the mark. Idris went badly and so did Jlive Huon. Norma Dillon paced a fair race.

EGMONT RACES,

SECOND DAY. (Special to the “ Star.”) WANGANUI, May 10. Drizzling rain fell all night and continued until ten in the morning, when it cleared up and kept off for the rest of the day. The attendance was large considering the had weather. The track was very slushy, but th§re was some interesting racifig. There were twelve starters .in the opening event, theNgamutu Handicap, Daddy's Girl being made a better favourite than Just Quietly. The early running was made by Treadwell and Otapawa, Lady Hill joining issue in the straight. That trio were fighting out the finish when Musketoon came with a wonderful run and squeezed home by a head from Otapawa. with Treadwell a neck away. Lady Hill was fourth. The winner is a fine-looking three-year-old colt by Steadfast from Musk, and L a great mover. He should win some good races. Otauru Kid and Valdina were taken out of the Hurdle Handicap, fourteen horses storting. Tinokalnt. carrying lib more weight than on the first day, was made favourite, while Great Fun. Mervotia and Price were all evenly backed. Iceberg and Stilts were the first to show out, but Automoana was in front early and led from Mervotia

and Tinokaha to the turn for home. The favourite then went to the front and looked to be going easily, but Price tackled him in the straight and won by a length, Mervotia being a length further away and Warrawee fourth. There were only five starters in the Opeke Steeplechase, Paul Moore being mode a slightly better favourite than Gang Awa and Polthogue. At the start Galicia was in front and, jumping well, had a big break on Gang Awa passing the stand, where the leader fell on his knees. His rider was thrown oil to his neck, hut, making a wonderful recovery. Cole got back into the saddle and cleverly kept his mount going. At. the next fence, however, Galicia toppled over and Polthogue took charge from Passim Through. Half a mile from home Polthogue had a long lead from Passin’ Through, with Gang Awa over a hundred yards further hack. Gang Awa put in a great run and was second at the last obstacle. but Polthogue won by ten lengths, pulling up, with Passin’ Through a long way back. Gang Awa must have made up over a furlong in the last half-mile. Me is very big, but with a race or two lie will probably be amongst the winners shortly. Paul Moore fell at; the third fence. Sir Burnett was the popular pick in the Mokoia Handicap, for which Sunny dim was scratched,'seven horses lacing the starter. Golden Bubble and Amber Tips were also solidly backed Leithfield and Pouma were in front most of the way, but- Sir Burnett was going very fast at the turn into the straight, and looked a sur<4 winner when be ran out wide and the boy ap. pea red to lose control of him after he was straightened up. Leithfield led until a hundred yards from the post, when Amber Tips came with a fine run on the rails and won by a neck, after an exciting contest. The favourite was fourth. Alabama was backed down to a short price in The Shorts. Lady Merriwee ani Ben Nevis also being fancied. Ladv Merriwee tried to win all the way, but Tindretto closed up in the straight and got home by half a length, with Regard a good third and Ben Nevis fourth. The winner is a. three-year-old gelding by Ivilboy. and is owned and trained by C. Emanuel, of Auckland. This made the sixth win at the meeting by an Auckland horse. Ten lined up for the Davidson Memorial Handicap. Raven being backed to a short price, though there was good money for Kareao, Zircon and Tame Fox. After Zircon and Askari had led in turn. Kareao took command, Helson, Rufus and Loch son being bis nearest attendants. Correspondent closed on the leaders at the bend, and the order into the straight was Kareao, Lockson. Correspondent, with Rouen next. Lochson and Correspondent ran past Kareao, the former drawing out to win by a length and a half from Correspondent. with Ivareao a good third and Rouen close up. For the concluding event eleven started. The Curragh carrying £2OO more than Marble Glass, with Haligan and Yelociform also well backed. Ecuador and Night raced together to the bend, where Otapawa closed up and, goingon. won nicely from Interest, with Ecuador third and Country Life fourth. The favourite was never prominent.
