The pacer Acron has won two races 1 and been twice in second place this 1 season, his stake earnings being £ISOO. V I The nscer Blue Mountain King, ! winner cf the Auckland Trotting Cup. 1 has won £2135 in. stakes to date this season. I The pacer Bonny I.»ogan seems to be j racing just well enough this season to j get beaten, as she lias four second ! placings to her credit and has been | once third. She has won £440. The pacer Cold water did not score ; a win at the Auckland Trotting Club’s j recent meeting, but the Coldstream Bells horse has raced well this season. He has won two races, besides being placed second three times and once third. His winnings amount to £IO3O. Delville Wood has trotted some consistent races so far this season without winning. He has been placed five times and has won £267. V The free-legged pacer J>on Wild has been a good stake earner this season. He has won three races and has been twice second and twice third, lais earnings being £2127. Starland showed up well enough in i his only start over hurdles at Ellerslie ■ to suggest that he will shortly win a race. He is getting very lazy on the tracks. The pacer Linden has shown a- lot of improvement this season. He is a bad knee-knocker and therefore finds J the right-handed course at Auckland to his liking. He has won one race ’ and has been placed on five occasions. ! With one exception all his money him •! l>eon earned in Auckland, his total to 1 date being £1375. Jxjgan Chief liaa won three races i this season and has been placed on • four occasions. His earnings total £1495. Although the pacer Or-vx has not yet, won a raco this season, she has earned ! £I4OO in place money. j Tho Australian pacer Sheik has been : a good stake earner for P. Riddle’s ; stable this season. He has won j £1575. Mr N. B. Lusk, hand!capper to the ! Dunedin Jockey Club, has been ap- ; pointed to a similar position in con- : nection with the Riverton Racing j Club’s Easter meeting. ; On present appearances the coming Trentham meeting will be one of the beet on record. All the Lest class of horses ar«o engaged, and given a little rain before the fixture, a very sue- ! cessfui gathering should result. i The Wanganui Jockey Club has sei cured a further lease of its present : course, so it is not likely that the pre- ! sent generation of racegoers will see | the old-established club shift to the proposed new course at Westmere. Mr Thomas was recently asked to put a price on Oivilform.

“ARGUS."

The pacer Willie Logan has vron four races this season and £1285 in stakes. Royal Blood made his first appearance since returning from Australia in the Electric Handicap on tho second day of tho Auckland Racing Club's meeting, and won by a length. He bad. however, to strike his colours to Paradoy on tho third day in tho Newmarket Handicap. Royal Blood was beaten out of a plaoo on the concluding day, but there is no doubt thßt he is quickly regaining liis best form. Groat Bingen, who won the chief event on the . second day of the Canterbury Park Trotting Club’s meeting, has won three races this season and has been once second and once third. His winnings total £I7BO. Mr Eric Riddiford started the season with a team of eight horse®, but by degrees they have gone out, till now he has only Scion anti Royal Divorce to carry his colours. Owing to the hard state of the Trentham tracks, T. F. Quinlivan is working this pair at Woodville. W. Stone, who lias trained gallopers for many years at Hastings, is taking up his residence in the Te Awamutu district about the end of January. Be sides taking a -team up with him, he has the promise of other horses to train for owners in tho district he is going to.

Tho tracks at Tauheronikau are very hard, and P. Hazelman has taken five of Mr Elgar’s team to Porirua to get the benefit of the sea and the beach. He will remain there -till just before the Wellington meeting, when he will shift to Trentham. The three-year-old Civility has put up a fine record for consistency during the last month. Commencing from the Feilding meeting she has started eight times and returned a dividend on each occasion'. Three wins, a dead heat, and four seconds is her record. Mr O. F. Vallance. who had the bad luck to lose the Wairarapa Cup owing to Little River not carrying the right weight, wa6 surprised last week to receive a letter asking him to pay a dividend to a lady in Wellington. Her argument was that as the owner accepted all responsibility for the error he should pay the dividend. Most likely Mr Vallance would not seo the matter in the same light, and he would be pardoned for thinking that he had lost enough over tho transaction already.

Messrs Moses Brothers, who have played a leading part in breeding in New South Wales for some years past, have decided to retire and the Arrowfield Stud will lie dispersed shortly. The stud includes about a hundred brood mares, in addition to the stallions Valais, St Alwyne and Pcitrel. The mares are bred on the very best lines, Messrs Moses being very particular in that phase of the breeding Question, and no price would be accepted ior a filly that they thought would be an acquisition to their stud, with the result that the mares are young and very few have been overraced. Numerous great stayers have been bred at Arrowlicld, and possibly their stamina is in no • small measure due to the fact that the mares have seen very little of the turf. There is sure to be keen competition for Valais, as he i« possibly the most promising young sire in Australia to-day. It U hard to hazard what he will bring, but records may be broken. Practically everything he has sired can gallop, and although the oldest of his Australian progeny are now three-year-olds, his winners include Lady Valais, Quintus, Valiant, Calrona, Valwyne, Heroic, Fuji San and \ alannfc-a. Heroic is, of course, quite out of theordinary; in fact, he is one of the best two-year-olds ever seen in Australia. His four runs have resulted in three wins and a head defeat, and the style in which he won the Marihyrnong Plate under his 101 b penalty stamped him as a champion. A financial statement made public by the Westchester Racing Association showed that a net profit of £4441 resulted from the Zev-Papyrus race at Belmont Park. After paying a war tax of £4500, the association's total revenue from admissions, programmes ami catering was about £-16,000. Included in the disbursements were £23.000 for the prize, shipment of Papyrus, and incidental expenses ; £2400 for other r^ces: £BSOO for advertising. printing, improvements, preparation of course and maintenance of track for six weeks, and architect’s services ; £2650 for policing of grounds, ushers, racing officials, music, ticketsellers, etc.: and transportation of horses to and from Yonkersland Laurel. £330. The profit from the match will go towards improvements at Belmont Park, where expenditure in that direction has totalled £165,000 since 1912. During the coming year £20.000 is to be spent on stabling at the track.

REEFTON RACES

(Special to the “ Star.”) REE ETON, January 9. The Reefton Jockey Ciub's midsummer meeting was opened under ideal weather conuitions. The course was iti good order, though a little holding. ‘The fixture had been postponed three times, owing to inclement weather and the attendance was below tho average. This popular club is to be congratulated on tho expert manner inwhich its meetings are conducted, and it received good wishes lor tho ultimate success of this year’s gathering. The racing on the opening day was par ticularly keen, the judge having to do cido on some very close finishes. The totalisntor receipts were £6814. compared with £BBSB on the corresponding day last year. There were five starters for the Trial Handicap. Probate was made a hot favourite and he justified the support. From a good start Probate went to the front and soon had a break of two lengths on the field. Flying Master challenged the leader going round the back, but dropped back coming into the straight, after getting within a length of Probate. The latter had the race well in hand, winning by three lengths from Marauder, who came fast from the back. Flying Master was three lengths away third. Rapid Rose was last. In a field of seven for the Ferndale Handicap Bon Spec went out easily favourite. After Emerald Gem, who was fractious, had caused two false starts, a good start saw Bon Spec and Samarang quickly out in front. After going fifty yards Samarang had a break of three lengths on Bon Spec, the rest of the field being bunched behind. Samarang easily held her own in front and won slowing up from Bon Spec by a length and a half. Jazz was two lengths away third. Mr P. J. Murray, of Greymouth. who lately acquired Samarang. is to be congratulated on the first win in his racing career. In the Hurdle Handicap Phil May showed out in front at the start, followed by Ca6liman and Bestir, with I<ord Ashlea running last. Going round the back Phil May hit a hurdle hard and dropped back to third place. Cashman and Bestir leading. Going round the back Lord Ashlea challenged the leaders and went up to second place. Bestir, going on, won comfortably bv six lengths from Lord Ashlea, with Cashman two lengths away third. Loohringa while doing her preliminary bolted twice round and did not start. Phil May galloped well for a mile, but was obviously out of condition. The Reefton Cup attracted a field of seven. Wharfdale. owing to his win in tli© Greyrnouth Cup. was made a strong favourite, regardless of the fact that he carried a stone more than in the Grevmoutli Cup. From an excellent start Wharfdale immediately went to the front. Kuia also being prominent. Passing the stand Wharfdale was leading by two lengths, with Kuia, First Aid and lie Forte bunched next and Warlike last. Going round the back Le Forte moved up on the leader and Warlike, going well, took third place. A great race down the straight saw Warlike catch Wharfdale at the t-ape, a dead heat resulting. Le Forte was half a head away. First Aid was fourth. Lee rode Wharfdale and Huraphris was on Warlike. There were seven starters for the Sherwood Handicap. Bon Spec carried nearly half the investments on the machine and well justified his support All the horses went off together, but Bon Spec was quickly out in front. Passing the stand he was leading witli Kilbrin and Demonstrate handy and Bonecto well back. Along the back stretch Kilbrin ran up to the leader. Turning into the straight Bonecto came very fast, but Bon Spec won very easily by a length and a half from Demon strate, with Bonecto half a length 1 away and Kilbrin fourth. J. Campbell rode Bon Spec. The Maruia Handicap attracted a field of six. Emerald Gem. who gave trouble at the barrier, got well away from a good start, followed bv Brown Willie and Rapid Fire. Turning into the back the same order was maintain- * ed. Rounding the corner into the straight Marauder came very fast from the back, with Matareka in pursuit Catching Emerald Gem a few yards from home. Marauder won bv a head from Matareka. with Emerald a length awav third. Brown Willie, the favourite, faded out over the last two furlongs and dropped back last. Slinker did not finish. For the Welter Handicap the field numbered fire, with All Ready favourite. A good start saw Better Luck out in front early, and passing tho stand he was leading from Elixir, All Ready and Grand Duchy, with Radiac last. The order was the same round the back. Turning into the straight Radiac challenged the leaders. A few lengths from the post he looked a winner, but he just got on even terms with Better Luck at the post. All Ready was a length and a half away third. The judge, after some delay, placed Better Luck and Radiac a dead heat. For fihe Progress Handicap there were, seven starters. Probate being favourite. From a ragged start Kikini quickly showed in front, and coiner oast the stand tho order was Kikini, Prosneritv, Jazz. Idleness. Rounding the back the order was the same. Com ing into the straight- Kikini was still

leading, but was challenged by Prosperity and Jazz, who had a bad run having to go round the field. Kikini got the decison by a good length from Prosperity, with Jazz half a length away third and Idleness iourth. The winner was ridden by Shaw.

SOUTHLAND NOTES. (Special to the “ Star.”) INVEROARGILL, oa. mary 9. Listening Post cut himself severely behind as the result of shying ul the street and backing into a dray. y® is now very unlikely to start at >» ellington, which is unfortunate, as he lias been galloping well on the racecourse and training tracks. Mr N. B. Lusk has been appointed handicapper to the Riverton Racing Club- Mr A. D. M’Xvor has been rcappointed starter. It is reported that the Southland Racing Club's summer fixture has resulted in a profit of £1275, which is very satisfactory. A new scheme ot improvements is in contemplation by the local club. . , , The Riverton Racing Club decided to give the stakes for their Easter nxture on lines similar to those of last season, but the stakes for the Great Western Steeplechase will be reduced from £SOO to £4OO. The money will be distributed over several leading flat events. The Gore Trotting Club reported a loss of £l5O as the outcome of thenannual Boxing Day fixture. There is no doubt that the Win ton Trotting Club holding their annual gathering in the same week adversely affected the Go-re meeting, as many western district light harness followers held themselves in reserve for the home meetLOGAN POINTESR. A GREAT TROTTING SIRE. The accident that happened to the 6taliion Logan Pointer last Saturday, when he was Licked by a pony and broao a leg, necessitated him being destroyed, and he whs shot yesterday. Early in 1915 Mr F. Holmes, the wellknown Riccarton trainer, went for a trip to America, chiefly in search of a few good maiden pacers and trotters. Whilst there he met an old friend, the late Mr W. G. Law it, who some years previously had made a trip to the Dominion. Tho deceased gentleman was a paßt master in all matters relating: to pacers nd trotters in America, and " Free ” Holmes pained a lot of knowledge from his company. One day Mr Lang suggested a trip of about 300 miles to see a stallion. which he stated might- be valuable to New Zealand, end the visitor, after inspection of the horse, was so favourably impressed that a sale was effected, and Logan Pointer came to the Dominion with Triz Pointer, then a yearling, and Bonilene. who later, when bred to Logan Pointer. produced Bonny Logan. On Logan Pointer's arrival in the Dominion he immediately found favour with breeders, and he had a full season each year up till his untimely death. Logan Pointer was a fine, commanding horse, and had a splendid action. Nearly all of his progeny go at the pacing gait, very few trotters having been sired by him. He posse>ased a splendid temperament and most of his stock are well mannered, honest pacers. For the first fer years the female portion of his progeny appeared to be the best, some of his mares being high grade performers. His success from the commencement of his stud career has been little Bhort. of wonderful. For the last two seasons he has headed the winning sires’ list, and there is little doubt that his progeny will win sufficient this season for him to retain this much coveted position. Logan Pointer’s progeny include Acron and Logan Chief, two of the best pacers in the Dominion, also Childe Pointer, Onyx, Loganwood. and hosts of others with fast records. Hie progeny show exceptional early speed, and in addition they are good stayers. The death of the great American imported stallion is a great loss to his owner, and the popular “ Free ” Holmes will hare the sympathy of a laree circle of friends in the unfortunate happening.
