WANGANUI NOTES.

(Special 1o the “Star.") M ANGANI C June 20. •Marie has not been asked to. do over much Avork since- the Wanganui' meeting, and l:o is looking particularly well. He is a horse who. races' better when a bit on the big side, and he should, be in great fettle for Trentham. A '.though the son of San I Fran was beaten by Comical and Black l Art in the May Hurdle Handicap, 0 is fairly safe to predict that lie will show before the end of the jumping season that he is a hotter ' hurdler than that race made him out to he. T. F. Quinlivan arrived here yesterday with Royal Divorce, Fool's Paradise, Black Cat and the Englishbred filly by Grand Parade. Quinli-A-anwill take Master Peter and, Dubious to Trentham for the meeting there next month. After his return from Auckland Master Peter was m a bad way. owing to an injury sustained at Ellerslie. but the gelding has made a good recovery, and is now in work again. Dubious has gone on the right way since the Auckland meeting and the way he is shaping suggests that he will have to he reckoned Avith in his engagements ut Trentham and Riccarton. Tangikai lightened up a bit after 1 racing at M’aVerley, and bis I miner 1 bought it would, be necessary to give him a. spell until Iho spring.

to pick up a stake at the ’Wellington meeting next, month. I lie racing Vanniino had at AYavcrley appears to have benefited him. It it intended by bis owner to- lioa c the -brother to Tc Kaa*a schooled oA'cr hurdles, and the gelding lias already shown that be. knows bow to jump. • Gaillard has been Aery ilisappointing this season, and lie may be gn'cti a lengthy spoil, i;i the hope that the sou of Absurd may make good next an turnn. There is some prospect of Some Red being seen out. at Trentham next month. The son of All Red ran a good raco at AY aver ley in the open sprint, and if all goes weil the gelding should regain liis very best form, in Avhieh case lie should win a sake or two short ly. Orchid, which gelding has been purchased by a Mcllington sportsman, is one of the speediest of the Absurd tribe avlicu fit . to do bis Lest, and il he trains on all right lie should A\in. some sprint races for IT. Lorigan. Omahu is being given a sport spell oAving to having an injured knee, sustained in the Great Northern Steeplechase. It, was probably this injury Avhieh was the cause of Hie gelding making such a poor showing in the M inter Steeplechase. He Avill probably be a runner at ircutham.
