ANTI-BETTING CAMPAIGN.

As IS the case in other parts of the world, racing and the betting which accompanies it have many strong opponents m America. A few weeks ago, in the Kentucky House of- Represen tatires, the Bennett Anti-Mutuel Bill was passed by fifty-six rotes to thirtyeight, .while a proposal for its recommitment to the Committee om Revenue and Taxation was defeated by fifty rotes to forty-six. It now looks as though the days of the totalisator system of betting are numbered in Kentucky, for the Bill is designed for the abolition of pari-mutuel machines from the racecourses of the State. A few days later there was a respite, as when the measure came before the State Senate it was rejected by twenty-four votes to fourteen, but notwithstanding this there is a strong feeling that the anti-racing section will eventually carry its point. If the Bill becomes law it is estimated that Kentucky will lose some 300,000 dollars per annum in revenue, while no other means have been suggested for making up the deficit. The state of affaire which brought about the introduction of this measure was fully and frankv explained by one of the leading supporters of the machine in Kentucky. According to a writer in a leading Chicago journal, the authority gave expression to the following remarks after the Bill had passed through the House of Representatives:—“The mutuels are gone. All we can -hope for is to delay the execution another two years. That will give us time to get our house in order for the new scheme of things. The monstrous mistakes we have made have come back to hang us. Payment of the enormous salary of 75,000 dollars to Matt "Winn—many times what the people of Kentucky pay their Governor; the employment of State legislators as race-track pay patriots; the attempted corruption of newspaper writers: and the thousand and one other things that we thought we could get away with have finally overwhelmed us Two years from now we will be lucky to find half a. dozen members in the entire Legislature to say a good word for us.”

A. Cox worked his two trotters Nelson Bell and Red Heather together yesterday morning and both horses gave a good display. Cox drove the younger horse who was on the outside and his showing proved him to be in his best form. Nelson Bell has taken some time to develop but be lias such a fine turn of speed that he soon win a race. Unfortunately he has not raced too well in the past. Red Heather looks none too sound. E. M’Dermott is working a halfsister to Goronel by Harold Dillon. She has not done much work but looks a promising sort. Princess Zoe lias had a short spell which has evidently been to her advantage. She appears to be sound and is looking well. The Southland-owned pacer Away (Adonis —Castout) was brought from Dunedin by E. (’. M’Dermott at the conclusion of the Forbury Park club’i meeting. Away will in future be trainoil by M’Dermott, and will be racing at the Canterbury Park club’s meeting. Vera Logan is going well at present. Yesterday, however, she had a bad lal! Addington, and D. Bennett got a severe shaking. P. Riddle has Stroller going fairly well. The brother to Don Wild looks very much lighter than Miss Gunn’s great pacer, but- Stroller can show a good turn of speed. Adair is now trained by W. J. Tomkin.son. The southern-owned pacer looks a good deal on the light side and it may be some time before he is ready to race. Locanda Bell is kept hard at- it, anJ appears to thrive on plenty of work, as she is pacing well. The trotter Proud Ata has trained on well, and will be raced at the Canterbury Park club’s meeting, provided he stands the final winding up process. After his return from Dunedin, «J. Shaw gave his team a. short let up, but they are all in work again and looking bright and well. Man-o'-W ar does a lot of saddle work, which seems to suit him for races. Peter Dean leeks none the worse for his racing in the south. Barcelona appears to be much sound- . er than formerly, and is pacing in firm style in his training work. 1 W. Smith bas Avenue pacing well He seems to have come on a good deal ’ during the last month, and should race in improved form when next started.

Another start has been made with the pacer Irvar, who looks very well, it is a pity he was not ready to race at the last meeting at* Addington and at Forbury Park, as the old gelding is seen at his best when the tracks are in a bad state through wet weather.

Realm appears to be quite sound and none the worse for his trip south where he wyu t-he chief event on the second day at Forbury Park. Realm has a rare turn of speed and can also stay. Provided he goes solidly throughout his races he will have more success.

The small pacer Pitaroa looks particularly well. He is an honest reliable pacer over any distance, but he isually finds something better in the race and has to put up with place

Argue, one of P. Riddle's team, can show a lot of speed, but be does not look as though he would favour a journo \\

.M r Edward Moorhouse, writing in the “ S.port.ing Life,” when he heard about the Nooriiim Dispersal Sale, said that only for the fact that Comedy King was seventeen years old, it might cw 6 b v e u J rort , h whi,e for a syndicate or JLnglisn breeders to seriously consider repatriation of Comedy King with a view to strengthening the declining St Simon line in that country.

During the first nine months of the season Martian had four winners of twelve races in Australia, their earnings in stakes being £14,188. Nassau had two winners of- three races, worth £7050; w’hile Absurd had nine winners of nineteen races, worth £6053. Other sires in the list with an interest for New Zen land sportsmen are Reputation £3303, Wolawa £3119, King Rufus £2362, \ arco £2286, Demosthenes £1746, Broadsword £1512, Achilles £1240, Finland. £B7l, Kilbroney £865 a*nd Boniform £7?O.

It is many years, writes the Brisbane correspondent of the “ Australasian,” since so much newspaper controversy took place over a racing incident as that in which P. O’Sullivan, the rider of Pleystowe, figured when the horse was disqualified recently after winning a race in Queensland After dismissing an appeal of the owner against the stewards’ decision in taking -the race away from Pleystowe, the Queensland Turf Club called upon O’Sullivan to answer a charge of foul or careless riding. The storm then broke, and many of the leading racing men in the State objected to the manner of conducting inquiries, and wanted to know on what evidence the stewards had taken action. The matter was brought up nt the last Labour caucus meeting, and a definite line of action taken. The Attorney-General subsequently announced that the Queensland Turf Club will be approached in regard to opening inquiries to the Press. It is mow known that the Queensland Tkarf Club will consider the matter at the next committee meeting. Meantime the Brisbane Amateur Turf Club has asked the Queensland Turf Club to allow all inquiries at Albion Park to be open to the Press, and the club has also asked for representation at all inquiries.

WANGANUI RACES.

FIRST DAY. (Special to the “ Star.”) WANGANUI,May 16. The Wanganui Jockey Club was favoured with fine weather for the first day of the winter meeting. There was a big attendance, and some fine racing was witnessed, though falls in the jumping events and injuries to jockeys were too frequent. San Forte won the big steeples in decisive style. Always handy, he carne at Black Art, which gave a splendid display of jumping, and beat him in the run to the post. He was ridden a welljudged race by P. M’Brcarty. The Century Hurdles went to Prince Rufus, which won well, jumping nicely and finishing on in fine style, stalling off a challenge by Antler, which went a good race. Onvahu ran well enough to suggest he will bo very hard to beat at Elierslie. Bonetter gave a further taste of her quality by carrying 9st 71b to victory in the Connolly Handicap, and winning in handsome style. Tamo Fox evidently wants a race or two. Diamond Ring went a good race, as did Ihpoto, which faded out oi-er the last bit. A great finish was fought out between Ecuador and Civility in the Borough Handicap, the pair clearing out from the rest of the field. Ecuador had a good lead at. the bottom of the straight, but Civility went at him and., finishing with the utmost gameness, just, got the verdict. It was a popular win. \\ hetunui was taken out of the Purua Hack Fla* Handicap, which was the first event carded. Orchid carried over £3OO more than Yoma, with The Lamb. Ruby Ring and Avonlea all well backed. From a good start. The Lamb, oma and Orchid were soon prominent., and at the half mile post The Lamb was still in front from Orchid, Yoma, Ruby Ring and Treadwell. At the bend Orchid ran Tip alongside of The Lamb, and the pair were together entering the straight, followed by Toma, Ruby Ring and Treadwell. At the distance Orchid looked like winning, but a little further on began to give way, The Lamb drawing away. But Yoma cafne with a fine run and fought out a great finish with The j Lamb, the verdict going to Yoma by a j head, with Orchid two lengths away., j third. Then came Ruby Ring. Master j Beckwith, Red Comet and Treadwell. I FT. Gray rode the winner and M. i M’Garten bad the mount on The Lamb, | and they both got all that was possible I out of their mounts. The battle over ! the last bit was a great one, Yoma just squeezing home. Red Comet did not jump off too well, otherwise he migh-, have had a say in the finish. There were no scratchings in the Hack Steeples, in which Sir Roseberry was sent out a good favourite. Mohuru was well backed. Buckeye being next in demand. Rowan. Sir Roseberry and Ivinling went at the first obstacle in that order At the second fence Rowan still held command. Achilleon being next, and then came Kipling. Roaminrr. Mf»hur>i and Sir Rwberry. This 1 fence proved fatal to Tokomoana, which toppled over. There was little altera-

lion in the order of tli© leaders to the double opposite the stand, where AohiJleon fell. At the second brush going down the back Malmru and Buckeye ran to the front, with Rowan handy. The latter took the load again at the bond, but Buckeye was first into the straight from Rowan and Mahuru. Taking the hen coop safely, Buckeye went on to win comfortably by four lengths from Mahuru, which fiuiebed about six lengths ahead of Kipling Rowan was fourth, Oak Rose fifth and Birkenella next. Peneton was withdrawn from the Wanganui Steeples, leaving nine starters. Master Peter was made a good start Ranui was first over the spirited betting. Black Art and Ranui both claimed solid support. From a good ist-rt Ranui wa-s first over the initial obstacle, and was still in front at tho six furlong post, where War Loan, San Forte, Master Peter, Starland and Black Art were following in that order, Dick being last at the bend. Ranui and Dick were together in front from Master Peter, San Forte, Black Art and War Loan. At the hen coop Dick tipped his rider off. Ranui pilpted the field past the stand, followed by Master Peter, San Forte, Starland, Black Art, First Line, Polthogue and Oakleigh. Going down the back Starland had a life. Black Art ran up to Ranui, and the pair led by four lengths from San Forte, Starland drifting back. The last named was pulled up a little further on. At this stage Oakleigh appeared to be going to have a say, as he was closing up going past the stand the second time. Black Art, Ranui, Master Peter, First Line, Polthogue, War Loan and Oakleigh was the order entering the back stretch. Black Art and Ranui were racing abreast, both jumping well. Then came San Forte, First Line and Master Peter. Black Art drew away at the bend and was well clear of Ranui at the bend leading into the straight and over the hencoop, the first jump. San Forte now- put in bis. claim and a great race ended in San Forte’s favour by nearly two lengths, with First Line three lengthy away third. Then -came Ranui, War Loan, Poithogue, Master Peter and Oakleigh. Falls were frequent in the Kaitoke Hack Hurdles, for which Puwhero, Tenterfield and Loclison were best backed. Brigadier Bill was first to show out, but passing through the straight Mangawhero had command from Cushat and Tenterfield, with Brigadier Bill next. Tenterfield took charge on the hack stretch, and led Mangawhero and Lochson to the home bend, where Puwhero fell on the flat and brought down Brigadier Bill, Royal Fame and Gold Peak. Tenterfield was challenged by Lochson. but crossed the last fence first and won. by two lengths. Mangawhero was a fair third, and next to finish were Militaire. Nukumai and Silk Rein. Eonmark fell at the hurdle at the bottom of the straight first time round.

In tho Century. Hurdles. En Route carried most money, but there was good backing for Eerie, Santiago and Penury Rose. From a good start the first to show out after settling down was En Route, from Prince Rufus, Penury Rose, First Born- Oruahu and Eerie. They raced out of the straight in fiiuch the- same order, and at the six furlong postgPetcr Amans was in front from En Route, Prince Rufus, Eerie, First Born and Antler. There was little change until they reached the stand the next time, when Antler was in the lead from Peter Amans, First Born and En Route. Eerie fell here and brought down Penury Rose. Entering the back stretch Antler was still in front from Peter Amans, Prince Rufus and Antler as they turned bend, Prince Rufus took charge from Peter Amans, Antler, En Route and First Born. Here Omahu began to move up and was running third to Prince llufus and Antler as they turned for home, with Peter Amans next. Prince Rufus kept 'going and won by two lengths from Antler, with Omahu two lengths gway third, and then came First Born, Santiago, En Route. Peter Amans and Vagabond. There were no scratchings in the Connolly Handicap. Cold Steel carried £l5O more than the? bracket Bonetter and Trespass. Of the others, Marqueteur and Sir Burnett were most fancied. From a good start the first to show out was Black Cruiser, with' Tame Fox and lhapotoa. As they raced past the stand lhapotoa was in the lead from Peter Maxwell, Tame Fox, San ton io. Cold Steel, with Stork bringing up the rear. lhapotoa held command going down the back from Peter Maxwell, Santonio. Tame Fox and Cold Steel. Crossing the top the order of the leaders was muchthe same, lhapotoa, being two lengths clear of Peter Maxwell, Santonio being next, and then came a bunched field, lhapotoa was at tho head of affairs as they turned for home, but Santonio was close up, and Bonetter, Marqueteur. Diamond Ring and Peter Maxwell all handy. At the distance Santonio was up alongside of lhapotoa, but Marqueteur then took the lead, only to be tackled by Diamond Ring and Bonetter. The latter slaved on best and won by a length, with half a length between second and third. Santonio was fourth, Peter Maxwell fifth and Trespass sixth.

The 'fifteen acceptors all lined up for the Borough Handicap, Mireusonta being entrusted with over £4OO more than Glenross. Civility was also heavily backed, and there was good money for Hilo and Lady Fingers. From a good start Lady Fingers quickly took charge arid led down the back

from Soliform, with Comical and Ecuador next. Crossing the top Ecuador ran to the front from Lady Fingers, with Soliform and Civility * next in order. Ecuador was well clear as they turned for home, with Soliform and Comical ne£t, and Civility coming on tho outer. At the distance Civility had iun up second. Ecuador still going well in front. Civility gradually overhauled the leader, and squeezed home the winner by a head, the pair having raced right away from the others, the "nearest, of which was Alarie. " five lengths away. Then came Lady Fingers and Mireusonta. Glenross had a very bad passage which extinguished any chance he may have had. R. Syrne, who rode Tokomoana in the Hack Steeplechase, sustained injuries to his head and body when that gelding fell. Flo was conveyed to the hospital. J. R. Kaan, who had the mount on Sir Rose berry in the same race, was dislodged and had his kneecap broken. J. Roach, who rode Royal Fame in the Kaitoki Handicap Hurdles, and A. M’Donald, who had the mount on Brigadeer Bill, were both injured, the. last-named rider being sent to hospital
