The first race will be started at noon. ❖ ❖ -U Mr J. E. Ilenrys arrived from Wellington this morning. Money Order is likeh- to be one of the favourite selections for the Auckland Railway Handicap. ❖ *s* * * Apart from Ilaze, the horses who arc in special request for the Auckland Cup include Rapine, Muraahi, The Banker. Te Monanui, Count Cavour and Star Ranger. ❖ ❖ £ ❖ Glenross, a six-year-old gelding by Absurd from Bronze, raced well enough at Feilding to suggest that he will soon be a winner. ❖ * * First Acre, who showed good form at Riccarton last month, continues to race promiently, and he should be worth watching for open sprint events during the approaching holidays, y y y * Black Cat. the three-year-old filly by Absurd from Mascot, is reported to be working well at Trentliam. y y y y Royal Divorce has had an easy time since he raced at Riccarton, but he registered a useful gallop over six furlongs. at Trentham this week, and his name may be among the winners before long. * x * * Mr G. Af. Currie has purchased two more well-bred mares in England for his stud, and the}' arc due to arrive in Xew Zealand early in January. One is Drax, foaled in 1921, by Spearmint from Suncroft by Sunstar from Miramonefe by Desmond from Admiration, the dam of Pretty Polly. This mare is in foal to Mountain Orb. The second mare, Pomyris, was also foaled in 1921, and has been stinted to Junior. She is by Pommern from Poryphis by Santoi. These well-bred young mares and their progem* should be a decided asset to New Zealand thoroughbred stock. y * y y At the Forbury Park Trotting Club's meeting yesterday, F. Holmes, the diiver of Willie Bogan in the Free-for-All, was fined £lO for disobeying the starter. * * y y The Trentham course has recovered well from the severe treatment consequent on three race meetings in wet weather. The course manager is steadily effecting improvements. The change-over to the Mangahao poiver is being marie, for previously the electric totalisator was operated from a small plant on the course. A black background on the face of the totalisator with white figures should make the reading of the betting easier at the next meeting. In addition a small platform has been erected in the centre of the course for trainers and track

watchers, and this .should provide a great point of vantage on busy mornings. In wet weather it will be of

even greater value. * * * * The report that Lord Woolavington lxas purchased Beckhampton, the Wiltshire training establishment, where his horses are trained by Fred Darling, has bten confirmed, states the “Sporting Life.” The establishment was made famous by the late Sam Darling, father cf the present occupant, who trained, among other great horses. Galtee More and Ard Patrick there. “Young” Fred; as he is still called, was with his lather during these days, and. of course, was thoroughly grounded in training and horse-mastership. When I-red Darling was training in Germany for the ex-Kaiser, he won many races with Silver Streak, whose sire. Galtee More, he had helped to look after at home, and with Letizia. an Ard Patrick filly, he won the German Oaks. This year’s Derby winner, Manna, was trained at Beckhampton. * =r- * * Runny mode claims autumn engagements in Australia in the Y.R.C. and A.J.C. St Legers, and it is probable that his Sydney purchaser had those races in mind when he secured the Xew Zealand Derby winner. * * * * Both Merry Damon and Pelham were travelling fast at the finish of the Cautley Handicap at Takapuna on Monday, and good judges say that with a little further to go they would have overtaken the pair in front of them. Merry Damon is improving with his racing and, all going well, he should be a very fit horse for the Auckland sumip x x * One of the unluckiest horses of the Takapuna meeting is reported to have been Mosaic, who notched two seconds. It was only by the narrowest of margins that he was beaten in the Takapuna Plate, while in the Pupuke Handicap lie met trouble on more than one occasion Mosaic is full of courage and with ordinary luck he will probably win his way out of the hack class this season.

Earlv indications point to Haze starting favourite for the Auckland Cup, in which he will be ridden by B. Rosen. This Australian light-weight has done most of his Xew Zealand riding in the North Island, but he had several mounts at the Oamaru Jockey Club's spring meeting, where he performed with great credit. Haze ranks at present as the most unlucky horse who has raced in the Dominion for a long time. He is still a maiden, though he has filled second place in several important events, including the Great Autumn Handicap and Hawke’s Bay Cup last season, and the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Metropolitan Handicap a few weeks ago. On more than one occasion he appeared to be beaten because his light riders were unable to get the best out of him at the; finish, owjpg to phvsical disabilities. His Auckland Cup pilot is a very strong rider, and in this respect Haze should have every opportunity at Elierslie of breaking the spell of bad luck th*t has followed him so far in big races. Rapine has to allow Haze 51b for the beating in the Metropolitan Handicap, and apart from this Haze should be a better horse by Boxing Day

METHVEN RACES. MEETING AT RICCARTON. TO-MORROW’S PROGRAMME. The Methven Racing Club’s meeting will be held at Riccarton to-morrow. The first race will be started at neon. The arrangement under which the meeting will take place at Riccarton, instead of at Methven, is likely to prove very satisfactory from many points of view. Already its popularity with owners and trainers has been amply demonstrated in the good fields, for I not only are they large, but the quality is a great improvement on what the club could have attracted to its own course. With such excellent material available, the meeting should provide some first-class sport, sufficient to ensure a large attendance at Riccarton. Everything points to the meeting being a great success. Of the horses engaged in the opening event, the Mount Harding Hack Handicap, Gay Life and Goldspinner only require to come back to their best form to be dangerous. Royal Despatch has been racing consistently, and he is so well that he must be hard to beat. Theie is a very big field in the Springfield Trial Plate, many of them having no form to recommend them. Gay Tim raced fairly well at Washdyke last week, and Grey Lass" is a useful sort, who has shown up more than once. The imported mare Calcite seems to be on the improve, and a win should come to her very soon. Sparklight showed promise last season, and she looks now as it she was coming back to form, having apparently got over the troubles that prevented her from galloping up to expectations early in the spring.

The Methven Cup should provide a good race. Fresco was a winner over nine furlongs at the Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting, and he looks like being very dangerous with his light weight. Deucalion has got over the trouble tha» caused him to miss his South Canterbury engagements, and he should race well. Footfall’s form last week was disappointing, but he will be a better horse on this occasion. Of the hghtweights, Ophir may stay on better than Retrospect and Ferino.

Gav Queen is racing well at present, and she will have some admirers in the Electric Hack Handicap, but Victory Bond . represents better class. The distance of the Viewmont Welter Handicap will suit Brown Lady, but she may find The Cheat a dangerous opponent. There are some speedy gallopers in the Mount Kutt Handicap. Starmist and Zaragoza, winners at South Canterbury last week, should race well, but Sartist will keep them very busy! The titfo. trotting events have attracted very large fields, and with so many horses on the limit in each race, the element of luck will play a part. The following is the programme— MOUNT JIARDING HACK HANDICAP Of 100 sovs; second horse 20 sovs and third horse 10 sovs from the stake. One mile.

j FORBURY PARK TROTS. NOTES ON THE RACING. (Special to the Star.’’) DUNEDIN, December 3. The Forbury Park Trotting- Club’s spring meeting opened in dull but fine weather, and before a large attendance. The track was in good order. The totalisator handled £24,372, compared with £25,151 on the first day of last year’s- meeting. F. Holmes was fined £lO for disobedience to the starter at the start of the Free For All. Frisco Beau was made a good favourite for the Koslyn Handicap, the mile and five furlongs saddle race, and he began well. He was quickly in a good position and eventually won easily The winner was imported to the Dominion by Mr J. R. M’Kenzie, who purchased him during his recent trip to America. Frisco Beau is a useful trotter. who has not been long in work. He won at Greymouth and will do a lot Spotter in future efforts. Master Peter trotted a solid race and showed some improvement. The winner always had the measure of the local horse, however. Bonette went fair!}- well, but did not keep to her gait. Blue Thorpe plugged along until oforced to a break, finally finishing fourth. Kelman gathe«;d up the field early, but failed to stay on at the end. In a good class field Edith Locanda was made favourite in the Spring Handicap, and she made a quick beginning, being in front early. She led till right on the post, when the winner just header her. Guy Fawkes was not in the picture till three furlongs from home, when he put in a fast round and just caught the leader on the post. Guy Fawkes Is trained by F. J. Owen, who drove a well-judged race. The winner has been in work for a considerable period, and it has taken a long time to get him in his best form. Edith Locanda, by Brent Locanda from the good mare Edith A., was a trifle unlucky. Had her driver made more use of the pacer from the home turn she would probably have won. Rollicking Bells always was handy, but did not stay at the end. Bricklayer was well placed in the early stages, but stopped badly in the last half mile. Mirella, who was heavily backed, would not begin at the start, nor did Spring Note. Bruce showed a lot of speed, and in the first half mile was with the leaders. He failed to sustain the effort, finishing fourth. Berrna Pointer went a sound, solid race. Mountain Chimes and Admiral Pointer were prominent for a mile and a quarter. Harold Thorpe never was dangerous at any stage. Guy Fawkes paid a larger dividend than many of his backers expected.

Charles Dixie and Happy Rosa were the only two backed solidly in the two. milo harness race for trotters, and it was a curious race. Queen Ida went so fast over the first mile that she

seemed destined to stop badly over the concluding stages, which she did. Then Charlc-s Dixie went in command and Kennerley drove the Australian horse up the straight and passed the post two lengths in front with a round to go. Thinking he had won he pulled up. and Happy Rosa went on in front. Urged by the crowd Kenneriey set Charles Dixie going again, and he caught Happy Rosa three furlongs from home, outstayed her and just won. The winner is a useful sort, but will never get into the best company. He had a lucky win on this occasion. Happy Rosa went away pacing and lost a lot of ground, but she was in a handy position with a mile covered. . She did not stay the last half mile; in fact although trotting soundly she failed to exhibit any dash in her work and went a long way below training form. John Mauritius did not go steadily, and Bon Sonty was slow all the way till the last half mile. Kelman and Fatard appeared to be outclassed. There were five starters In the Fret? for All, and Great Bingen was a hot favourite. Realm was on his worst behaviour, and was the cause of four false starts. Eventually Mr Dunne sent them away, but Great Bingen was on a, break, whilst Logan Chief was galloping. No one anticipated that the start would be effected. Willie Logan, Machine Brick, and Realm went away together, with a break of eight lengths in front of Great Bingen, who was four lengths in front of Logan Chief. It took Withers and Kennerley some time to get their horses into their gaits, and the trio In front were racing at top. Great Bingen got going, and trailed the three, and with a round to go was still eight lengths behind the front horse. Machine Brick went to the front along the back, and Withers drove Great Bingen at top, getting on the rails just in rear of Realm. The latter was beaten at the bottom of the straight, and as he bored out Great Bingen dashed through, setting sail for Machine Brick. In a great struggle home, in which the public were greatly interested, the favourite just, beat the Australian pacer, wit it Realm four lengths away third. When the winner's number was hoisted, great enthusiasm i prevailed, the public recognising the wonderful performance under difficulties. A crowd gathered round the saddling paddock, and cheered the horse and driver, hooting the starter and Realm, a great deal. Credit for the success of Great Bingen is due to Withers, who drove a masterly race. Under the circumstances, Great Bingen is entitled to be considered the best pacer now in commission, as he raced most consistently at November at Addington. He is the biggest stake winner

to date. Machine Brick paced a fine race., and the Australian horse is fast getting into form. Realm was bad at the start, but he paced a good race for three quarters of a mile. Logan Chief lost all chance at the start, and Willie Logan was outclassed. The order at the post was Great Bingen, Logan Chief. Realm, Machine Brick, Willie Logan. The race caused a lot of excitement, and, like similar races in other parts, was immensely popular. Great Bingen beat Emmeline's track record, established in May, 1912, of 2min 8 3-osec.

There was a capital race for the. Cavershahi Handicap, Sotrie Wilkes eventually winning rather comfortably. Some Wilkes was owned on the West Coast, •tad was only sold to his present owner at the November meeting at Addington. He Is a. solid, reliable pacer, by Great Audubon, and will be racing in better company in the near future. Native Chief put up a fine performance, as his misbehaviour at the post cost him several seconds at the start. He put ’in a great second mile. Becky Logan’s stamina enabled her to get third place. Bob Logan was very bad at the post, finally failing to go away. General Bingen always was well placed, but over the last quarter failed badly, and finished in sixth place. Katana went a good race, being always in the picture, and finished fourth. Transport was pacing well at the end of a mile and a half, then he stopped badly. Trenand paced a bad race, showing no form at all, and Talent was unable to maintain his position over the last round when lie was with the leaders. Maiwhareti led for nearly half the distance, and then stopped.

With the exception of Bell Harold, who did not begin right, the field raced in close order in the chief two mile harness race until two furlongs from home, when Delavan’s Quest drew away and won comfortablj'. The winner stayed On much better than in the New Zealand Cup. P. Riddle raced the winner to a front position easily, which enabled him to get a spell and have a. reserve for the final efrort. Delav«.n's Quest is owned in Sydney, and is more at home over short courses. Ills Cup preparation is standing to the winner regarding condition. Queen’s Own hod none of the best of conditions in the early stages and with a round to go was interfered with by Black Admiral, which cost her some ground, but all the same she had no chance with Delavan’s Quest. Black Admiral was not handled judiciously and was beaten two furlongs from home.-. Dolly Dillon went a very fair race. Main Voyage went a fast mile and then met with trouble, but he is not a good two miler. Talaro paced a fine race once he got on the journey, but had lost too much ground to have any chance. Harry Audubon is not at his best at present, whilst Whispering Willie could not keep to his gait in his endeavour to maintain position with the pacers.

Al! started in the chief two mile ' harness race for trotters and the lo-cally-trained Money Spider was a solid favourite. There were a good many changes during the running of the race, but over the last three-quarters of a mile the favourite went to the front and stayed out well to win comfortably by two lengths. The winner is by uorene Todd, as is the second horse. Money Spider has gradually improved until * he is now a solid and reliable trotter with plenty of speed and stamina Lee Todd has been racing in short events and so did not. see out the journey as well as formerly. Bonny Spec finished strongly. Ingle Bingen and Merry Bingen showed speed, but ootn were* beaten easily, the former at a mile and the later at a mile and a half. Woodlass went a fair Young Blake broke up early. Nigkborn aid not go ai all steam.y. . Ivy Audubon won the mile saddle in convincing style. She went away fast and practically won all the way. fne winner was bought for a big figure by p local owner, but she has been a sad disappointment. It is quite evident she races better in saddle than in harness, but is a most unreliable pacer. Awamoa vent a sound, reliable race. Marvin Mac, once he got going, paced solidly all the way. Rebel did not leave the mark, nor did Pearlie Chimes or Lady Embrace, and Van Director made a fast beginning, but he could not go on after half a mile had been covered. Oaknut after beginning well, failed to stay on over the last part of the journey. METHVEN RACING CLUB. The committee of the Methven Racing Club met on Monday. There were present; Messrs T. S. Harrison (in the chair). H. Green, W. J. Cooksley, W. J. Bennett. James Mauger, S. E. Richards, M. A. Stone, W. J. Young. J. M. M kendry, A. M'Kendry, D. M’Kendry, and L.' L. Richards.
