RACING AND TROTTING NOTES
RACING NOTES. Nominations for the Banks Peninsula F.ac.ng Club's meet mg wm dose at six o'clock to-mght. ****_. ™ The dispute over .the Novice Plate at Kurow. &«_ems axciy w> cauae plenty of aiscusoion cetoie it is finally settled. When page Boy won at kurow Pound Note filled second p*ace. 1 he question whether Page Boy was eligible to run was sent on to tne tracing Conference, which referred it bacx to the Kurow stewards. Iney are expected to deal with it on Saturday mgnt, but there is a report current that Page Boy is likely to lose ihe stake, n so Pound Note will be the winner. As a result of this position the question was raised wnexner Pound .Note was eligible to run in the Trial Stakes at Wingatui, that race being restricted to horses that had not won a race of the value of 50 sovs at time of starting, a condition which debarred the winner of the Novice Piate at Kurow. The stewards of the Dunedin Ciub decided that Pound Note could start, and he duly won. The stipendiary steward held the view that the horse was not eli gible, his opinion being based on the following rule: “ In case of an objection until it is finally disposed of both the horse objected to and the horse claimed to have been the winner of the race shall be liable to all penalties which would have attached to the winner of the race if no objections had been made." * * * * Silver Peak, a very solid performer in her day, with important successes up to a mile and a half, is proving a great success at the stud. The two eldest of her progeny were winners on the opening day at Wingatui. Her three-year-old son. Silver Paper, won the Electric Handicap easily, while her two-year-old daughter, Aspiring, led the M’Lean Stakes field practically all the way. She is represented by a yearling colt and brother to Silver Paper, who is highly spcken of, while yesterday morning she foaled a chestnut filly to the imported horse Woodend. * * * * With the exception of the three-year-old filly. Prickles, the field for the Mosgiel Handicap was made up of New Zealand Cup candidates, and the race was of considerable interest. Pink Note won in very decisive fashion and he will have to be reckoned with at Riccarton. Overdrawn showed better form than anything he had done for some time, and though he may not stay two miles he should win races this season. Footfall, making his first appearance since the autumn, ran a really good race, which greatly pleased his Cup admirers. He is training on well, and he shapes like playing a prominent part in important events later on. Count Cavour, after being a trifle slow to begin, was travelling on in his best style over the last two furlongs, and this good stayer is going to win more big races. Set Sail ran much below her Geraldine Cup form, and her effort was disappointing. Hoylake suffered serious interference less than five furlongs from home. He did not look like a winner even before he met the trouble, but the safest course to take is to reserve judgment in his case. * * Diana’s Lad outclassed the opposition in the First Hurdle Handicap at Wingatui. He followed the tactics which were so successful in each of his ■winning efforts at Riccarton in‘August, going to the front early, after which he never looked in danger of defeat. He is a good jumper, and an improving horse, who has not reached his best even now. sic *: * * Carinthia showed plenty of speed in the hurdle race at Wingatui. but his jumping, especially in the early stages, was very poor. ijz fc is * Phastar showed attractive form when he won the Maungatua Handicap. He was well placed all through, and he finished on better than' any of his rivals. He has had a reputation for some time as a smart galloper, but this was the first time he had shown his real form in a race. Phastar is an Aus-tralian-bred three-year-old by Great Star, and more will be heard of him. * * * __ First Raid ran a solid race m the Maungatua Handicap. He has a lot of speed, and on this occasion he was going much better than was expected at the end of seven furlongs. With this improvement in stamina he should win some good races before the end of the season. * * * * Amor was not in a good galloping mood in the Maungatua Handicap. He was at the tail of the field early, and though he moved up in the straight he never looked like being prominent.
Amourette gave a good exhibition of speed in the Maungatua Handicap, but she stopped very quickly in the straight. It was a fair effort, however, as she ran on further than she had done in her earlier races.
Pottnd Note made a one-horse race ot the Trial Stakes, being in front from end to end, and never looking as if he would be caught, though it is probable he was lucky in the fact that Starshooter struck trouble. Pound Note is a brother to Pay Paix, who ran second in the Canonbury Stakes at the Australian Jockey Club’s meeting last week. The form of Pound Note has been moderate up till recently, # but she seems to be gradually improving.
Starshooter suffered a lot of interference at the start of the Trial Stakes, and later in the journey, when running round the turn, he met further trouble. This settled his chance, and it was a smart performance that landed him in second place, as he was finishing on strongly. * *• * *
The performance of Aspiring in winning the M'Lean Stakes was a brilliant one. She jumped out alongside Francolin, whom she headed quickly. They were together a furlong from the post, after which Aspiring always had the race in safe keeping. She is a very speedy galloper, showing great quality, and as she looks as if she could be . improved yet she should have a successful career in front of her this season. Aspiring, who is a half-sister to Silver Paper, is by Some Boy 11. Another of his progeny, Some Rose, won this race two years ago, and it would appear that the early death of Some Boy 11. robbed the Dominion of a promising young sire.
It is reported that the Dunedin owner Mr R. M. Greenslade paid almost £IOOO to secure the two-year-old filly Francolin, by Paper Money from Philomela, from Mr I. G. Duncan. The filly showed plenty of speed in the M’Lean Stakes, but Aspiring beat her so de
isively at the finish that she does not look a bargain now. She should win races, but they will not be the biggest events.
Stealth, a well-grown twoyear-old by Night Raid from Bendown, was always in third place in the M'Lean Stakes, and he will p>ay his way in handicap company.
Stately began slowly in the M'Lean Stakes, and never was in a position to show her best speed, though she was running on in fifth place at the end.
The win of Pink Note in the Mosgiel Handicap was very impressive. At no stage of the journey was he in any trouble to hold his position near the leaders, and he could have gone to the front a long way from home. As it was he took charge in the straight and won easily. He was improved a lot by his run in the Geraldine Cup, and his latest effort will bring him into notice as a possibility for the New Zealand Cup.
Pf icicles was very unlucky in the Mosgiel Handicap. She lost her place suddenly a little over half a mile from home through galloping on the heels of a horse in front of her. When this occurred she stumbled and went back on to Hoylake. Prickles grazed her stifle on the fence, and altogether it was an unfortunate incident, as it prevented any line being obtained to her future prospects. The only thing that could be said was that she went very well for the first half of the journey.
Silver Paper scored a very easy win in the Electric Handicap at Wingatui, after being in front all the way. He was a good two-year-old last spring, and he seems destined to take high honours in any events he contests this season. In view of this performance he will be very hard to beat in the Dunedin Guineas on Saturday.
Silver Coot ran a sound race in the Electric Handicap, being one of the leaders all the way. He may win a decent sprint later on.
Tripaway gave further evidence in the Electric Handicap that she is a greatly improved mare. She lost a lot of ground at the start and was further handicapped by going very wide round the turn. With an ounce of luck she would have given the winner a harder race.
Goblin Market failed to jump out smartly in the Electric Handicap. He travelled fast when he got going, but he was done with at the end of half a mile.
Royal Saxon’s form in the ElectricHandicap can be disregarded, as his rider lost a stirrup on the journey.
The easy win scored by Royal Trac tor in the Taioma Handicap was an attractive effort. He broke the opposition up in the early stages by his brilliant speed and never looked like being caught. He has had three wins and a second during the last three weeks, and he is improving with each race.
Noteworthy ran very creditably in the Taioma Handicap. He had no chance with Royal Tractor, but he outclassed the remainder of the field, and his winning turn should come soon, though he does riot look up to classicform.
Lucy Locket has run several useful races this season, and her reward came in the October Handicap, in which she always held a good position and finishup by outstaying the opposition. Further successes may be expected before long, as she is very well.
Quarterdeck gave a creditable performance in the October Handicap and just failed to stall off Lucy Locket at the finish. The race should be of benefit to her.
Front Rank began slowly in the October Handicap and never was in a winning position. She was running on at the end, but she was only heading off tiring horses.
Childsplay did not race on the opening day at Wingatui. but she was given a useful seven furlong gallop on the course proper after the last race. It was not intended as a trial, but she hit out freely, covering the journey in lmin 31 3-ssec. and finishing on well.
TROTTING NOTES.
Fight Ever is in two races on the first day at Auckland, and it is the intention of his trainer, J. J Kenner- ] ley, to start the pacer in both events jif the weather and track are good, i Fight Ever looks to have the best chance in the short race, but he will find Native Prince very hard to beat,. * * * * Despite thq fact that reports from Auckland, state that the e x-South-J lander Nihilist Junior has been show:nf very form in his braining work, he is an acceptor in the mile and a uarter event, where he figures on the imit. t * * * After racing at the Auckland Trot- . ting Club’s meeting the ex-Southlander iSunfish may be taken to the Northland j Club’s meeting.
Machine Gun, who is in the New Zealand Cup, is a much better horse when racing on a right-handed track. The Australian-bred pacer is a rare good stayer, and may put up a good showing in the Spring Handicap. * * *
Sixteen horses remain in the Great Northern Trotting Derby, but several have not raced, which is not likely to improve their chances. Hinkler, Sonoma Child, Wrackeen and Wrackler represent Canterbury stables, whilst the colt by Auto Machine, if started, will be the sole Australian representative. It looks, on form, that Mr Nicoll’s pair Wrackeen and Wrackler will fight out the finish. Hinkler, however, has improved a good deal during the last month, and the half brother to Rose Marie may effect a surprise.
If the weather is bad and the track heavy Dalmeny and Pageant will both race well at Auckland. At the June meeting of the ciub Tomkinson’s pair raced exceptionally well each time they were started.
Dundas Boy was heavily supported at Methven last week, and just when looking dangerous he broke up badly. R. B. Berry stated that the pacer was suffering from a splint which he thinks may have been the cause of his breaking up. ssc
The trotter Rose Bingen is in the 4min 37sec pacers’ race at Auckland, and is also in the two-mile 4min 40sec class for trotters. In the pacers’ event she is on 4min 36sec, but is handicapped one second faster in the trotters’ event.
Harvest Child raced so well at. the August meeting at Addington that he should be very hard to beat in the Stewards’ Handicap at Auckland. He beat Kingcraft in the mud and later in the meeting the Ashburton representative went better than 4min 29sec. Now Harvest Child is on 4min 37sec in the Stewards’ Handicap. He will be driven in Auckland by F. G. Holmes.
The Auckland pacer All Bell, who is now well on in the veteran stage, is in the mile harness event on Saturday at Auckland. He retains a lot of his brilliancy over a short course.
The Hawke's Bay-owned pacer The Shrew will be racing at the Auckland Trotting Club’s meeting on Saturday. At the conclusion of the meeting she will go into J. Shaw’s stable to do her training for the Otahuhu Trotting Club’s meeting next month.
There is a sister to Young Blake in training in the Waikato district, under the charge of G. Stevens. The three-year-old filly Belle Axworthy, by Travis Axworthy, was injured in the train coming from the Waikato, and may not start in the classic event.
DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB.
aspiring wins M’LEAN STAKES. (Special to the 11 Star. ) _ DUNEDIN, October 11. Following on rain overnight arid a shower early this-morning the weather cleared and the conditions were warm and fine for the opening day of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s spring meeting. The course was in good order, and the times were exceptionally fast for Wingatui. Good fields were seen in most of the events, and class better represented than usual, while there was some very interesting sport. Racing opened with the Spring Hurdle Handicap. Antrim Boy and Amorist were scratched, leaving four runners. Diana’s Lad _ was a pronounced favourite, and his backers always were on easj* terms -with themselves. After Carinthia had kept him company in the lead for about a furlong Diana’s Lad drew clear, and at the end of three furlongs he was two lengths in front of Carinthia, with Red [leather three lengths away and Jovial drifting back. Diana’s Lad had Increased his advantage to six lengths going along the back, and he strode out fully to the finish, winning with out an effort by half a dozen lengths Red Heather and Carinthia were together over the last two furlongs. Carinthia gaining second place by hall t head. Jovial was eighty yards away Diana’s Lad confirmed the impression created by his Riccarton track form hat he was an improved horse. With he exception of one hurdle, his jump •ng was first-class. Carinthia, on the other hand, jumped badly. The scratching of Royal Flower left eight starters for the Maungatua Han dicap. Cainisader was a good favour ite, with Amor and Marjoram also strongly fancied. First Raid, Amour ette, Phastar and Marjoram raced in line for about a furlong, when the first named pair drew clear, and at the end of the second furlong they were two lengths in front of the other pair while Amor was last, several lengths behind the bunch. The two leader; • were three lengths in front at the entrance to the straight. A little furher on Amourette w'as in trouble Hrst Raid drawing away from her vliile Phastar made a forward move Phastar gradually overhauled First Raid and beat him by half a length Amourette hung on to get third, three engths away, with All Comment finishng well in fourth place. Camisader vas next, but his performance was disappointing. Marjoram went w*ell till the straight was reached and then ropped out quickly. Amourette .howed speed but failed to stay. First stayed on surprisingly well, but Phastar beat him decisively. Phastar is an Australian-bred three-year-cid and a promising sort. Amourette was the only scratching for the Trial Stakes, and in a field of ■ nineteen Starshooter was a hot favour- , ite, carrying nearly three times as • much money as Mr J. M. Samson s Pound Note—Wine Tray bracket. These two chances gathered in borii dividends, but in the reverse order to the order of their backing. Pound Note and Wine Tray were smartest out, with Proud Knight and Full Flight handy, while Waving Corn. 1 after gri'ing trouble at the barrier, be- ; pan well and soon ran into a good ’ position. Pound Note was out clear : at the end of half the going, where Waving Corn took second place, with • Wine Tray heading the others. Star-
shooter, who had met trouble early, then commenced to move up and lie followed the three leaders to- the straight. Pound Note held his place and won bv three lengths. Starshooter finished on strongly and beat Waving Corn by a head, while Wine Tray was fourth, followed by Royal Flower. Proud Knight and On Watch. The winner showed speed when racing at Geraldine and the experience assisted him to run out six furlongs very solidly. Starshooter was very unlucky, as he met trouble all the way
to the straight. Waving Com is fast acquiring a reputation for bad barrier manners. Proud Knight ran a fair race, being in the first bunch ail the way.
The ten horses in the book lined up for the M’Lean Stakes, the first two-year-old race of the season in the South Island. The Paper Money filly Francolin, who was bought the previous day by the Dunedin owner Mr R. M. Greenslade, was a good favourite, while after a gap Aspiring just headed Stately for second choice. Francolin and Aspiring were smartest to begin, with Stealth, Captivate and Solnuiri in close attendance. Aspiring soon drew clear of Francolin, who was followed round the turn by Stealth, with Captivate hnady. Stately and Jaleux were slow to jump out, but racing round the turn Stately commenced to improve her position. Francolin moved up to Aspiring when well in the straight, but the latter drew away again and won by a length and a half. Stealth challenged in the run home, but faded out again, finishing three lengths away third. Captivate was a length further back, followed by Stately, who finished on strongly, while The Graphic was next. The winner, who is by Some Boy 11., is a half-sister to Silver Paper. She has brilliant speed, and she ran the journey out well. Francolin can gallop fast, but she was stopping at the end.
Taboo, Town Bank, Vaward and Lucy Locket were withdrawn from the Mosgiel Handicap, leaving seven starters. Pink Note and Hoylake disputed favouritism, while Set Sail was an easy third choice. Overdrawn led out of the straight with Pink Note, Prickles and Set Sail in close attendance. There was no change at the mile post, but Footfall, who was last at this stagey then commenced to move tip. Five furlongs from home Overdrawn was showing the way to Pink Note. Footfall had taken third place, with Prickles next, while Set Sail, Count Cavour and Hoylake were not far away. A little further on Prickles lost her place and Hoylake dropped back to last. Overdrawn led Pink Note and Footfall to the straight, with Count Cavour closing up. Pink Note then went after Overdrawn. There was the semblance of a struggle, but Pink Note then drew away to beat CK’erdrawn easily by a length and a half. Count Cavour finished with a good run, but Footfall hung on to beat him by a neck. Set Sail was next, with Prickles and Hoylake together at the tail of the field. Pink Note won very decisively, and it was an impressive performance. Overdrawn showed greatly improved stamina compared with his recent form. Footfall ran a good race, while Count Cavour was travelling in fine style at the business end. Prickles struck trouble nearly five furlongs from home, and dropped back quickly, interfering with Hoylake. The scratching of Spean Bridge left a field of ten for the Electric Handicap. Silver Paper was a hot favourite, while after a long gap Royal Saxon was a little better fancied than Goblin Market, the last-named pair together carrying just a little short of the total on the favourite. Money Order was the outsider of the party. Erne, Goblin Market and Tripaway were slow to move. Silver Paper soon drew clear of the next bunch, in which Royal
Saxon, Paperchase and Silver Coot were prominent. Silver Paper was two lengths in front of Silver Coot with Royal Saxon and Paperchase next, while Goblin Market joined in a little further on. A furlong further on Silver Coot joined Silver Paper in the lead, three lengths in front of Paperchase and Goblin Market, while Tripaway was moving up fast. Silver Paper drew away on reaching the straight and won without an effort by two lengths from Silver Coot, who hung on long enough to beat Tripaway by a neck. Paperchase was close up fourth, after a solid performance, while Booster and Money Order were next. Goblin Market faded out at the end after showing speed for half a mile. Royal Saxon’s rider lost a stirrup and this accounted for his failure at the end. Silver Paper won in great style, and he looks a good class three-year-old. He will have a lot of support in the Dunedin Guineas. Coomassie, Wine Tray, Full Flight and Jimmy Trigger were scratched for the Taioma Handicap. Noteworthy was a hot favourite, carrying more than twice as much as Royal Tractor, who was easily second choice. Royal Tractor began smartly, followed by Red Jazz and Noteworthy, while Some bignal got off badly. When two fur longs had been covered Royal Tractor was nearly five lengths in front of Red Jazz with Noteworthy next, while Valves had dropped back to last. Noteworthy headed Red Jazz on the turn, but he never looked like catching Royal Tractor, who won by three lengths. Red Jazz stopped in the run home, and Tardy finished five length 5 away third, just in front of Battle Maid, with Salmo Salar and Colonel Crawford next. Impertinence and Some Signal were together last. Royal Tractor has had four starts lately for three wins and a second. He is a brilliant customer, who seems to be thriving on his racing, and he has not don. winning. Noteworthy ran a sound race, but the others were outclassed.
The day’s racing was concluded with the October Handicap. Miss Winkie was scratched, as she has broken down, and in a field of six Front Rank was a good deal better backed than Quarterdeck, who just headed Luck Locket for second choice. Front Rank was slow to move. Lucy Locket was first to show out, but at the end- of a furlong Quarterdeck was leading Lucy Locket and Vaward. A little further on Vaward was in second place, just clear of Lucy Locket, while Front Rank was last. Vaward joined Quarterdeck at tlie home turn, and at the entrance to the straight Vaward was in charge. He failed to run on, however, and gradually drifted back. When he retired Quarterdeck was left in front, but Lucy Locket then challenged her. They were on terms a hundred yards from the post, but Lucy Locket stayed on well to win by half a length. Front Rank, running past tiring opponents, was three lengths away, with Vaward five lengths further back, then Taboo, while Antrim Boy was tailed off. Thcr performance of Lucy Locket was a good one, following on useful form at Geraldine and Kurow. Quarterdeck ran a sound race but a mile found her out. Front Rank began slowly and never looked like a winner.
TROTTERS AND PACERS AT AUCKLAND.
FIRST MEETING OF NEW SEASON. The spring meeting of the Auckland Trotting Club will be commenced tomorrow and concluded on Wednesday. It will be the first meeting in the northern province for the new season, and for this reason it will be specially interesting. The fields for the various events are not too large, and this should tend towards better racing. There is not such a large number of Canterbury horses making the trip as usual, the close proximity of the big November fixture requiring that most of the high-class pacers and trotters should receive their training at home. The sport, however, has made such headway in the north that the club is now quite able to carry out a successful meeting without outside support. WAITEMATA HANDICAP (in harness), of 300 sovs. Trotting; horses only: class 3.42. One mile and a half.

Etta Cole and Roma Bingen look the most likely to supply the winner, while of those further bad Gold Sovereign, who is very reliable, should race well. IMPROVERS’ HANDICAP tin harness), of 300 so\s.

Laplander will have to improve on his showing at Methven to have any chance, but Sunfish should race prominently. The Australian pacer Ribbonwood’s Last has a reputation, and he and Free Advice mav be the public fancies. SPRING HANDICAP tin harness), of 1000 sovs. Class 4.31. Two miles. Jackie yds bhd Audubon scr Western King 24 yds bhd Gold Jacket 36 Talent 12 Machine Gun 4S Loch Molgli 3 2 Kohara r»o Dalmeny 12 Jewel Pointer 84 Jackie Audubon will be favourite for the chief two-mile event, and the limit horse will be very hard to beat. Talent is. better suited to a shorter course, and Loch Moigh should be beaten by Dalmeny. Western King showed fine form at. Addington in August, and he should have improved since that time. Gold Jacket is a very fiseful sort, but .it is
doubtful if either Machine Gun or Kohara. two Cup candidates, will be quits ready. Jewel Pointer races so well in Auckland that he may get some of the money, but it looks as though. Jackie Audubon and Western King will get most of the stake. GREAT NORTHERN DERBY, ©f IDOO sovs. For three-year-olds. One nifla and a half. Air J. R. Sheehan's c, by Auto Machin© —Tipsy Maid Mr G. J.

Hinkler has come on a lot during the last few months, and Tomkinson's Representative may race well. Sonorr.i Child has not done well, during the i last few months, and is not likely* to be at his best on the day. He has been suffering from a cold, and has had to be eased in his work. Wrackler and Wrackeen, Mr H. F. NicoU's pair seem likely to start favourites?, and. although the Ashburton sportsman has not had much luck in classic events lately, looks as though he will be successful in this Derby. Grandlight is a useful.but unlucky colt, who will go well in the race. J. Bryce stated recently that Grand Light had improved a lot during the last months. The Australian representative by Auto Machine may beat all the opposition. His owner should know New Zealand form, and he is not likely to make the trip unless hi* representative has shown satisfactoryform to warrant it. The North Islander, Trustworthy, is reported as not being at her best. This is unfortunate, as the Worthy Bond pacer is a filly of | exceptional promise.

A number in the mile event claim other engagements, All Bell, Native Prince. Lady Dunmore, The Shrew an:l Dillon Huon being the new horses in a field of eleven. Native Prince raced so well at Addington in August that he should account for the event off 12yds. The three limit horses, however, all have a lot of speed, and they may keep Native Prince busy.

Taipare has a lot of speed, and if the race is at all slow in the early stages both Native Prince and Fipht Ever may be close up at the end. The back markers, however, have a difficult task to succeed.
G.N. DERBY SHOULD PROVIDE GOOD RACE.
(Special to the “Star. ”) AUCKLAND, October 12. After four months’ spell trotting will be resumed here to-morrow, when the Auckland Club’s spring meeting opens. It concludes on Wednesday. The Improvers’ Handicap is a race
in which there may be a big surprise, but backers will probably rely on Sunfish, Cornelian and Laplander. The first event for slow-class trotters is the Waitemata Trot, and if backers risk Etta Cole going right she will dispute favouritism with Kolmar and Bright Light. With only nine engaged in the Spring Handicap a good run for all should be ensured. While perhaps another horse or two would have gone to make _ a l>etter field what is lacking in quantity is amply made up for in quality, all the nine acceptors being proved two-milers. The New Zealand • up winner, Kohara, on 60yds, is not likely to be fancied on recent form, snd the best-backed division may be the Western King-Jewel Pointer bracket, Dalmenv and Jackie Audubon. The Great Northern Derby should bo the lest three-year-old race yet staged in the Dominion. There is not much doubt about what backers will do and the favoured ones will be the W rackler —Wrackeen bracket, Sonoma Child and Trustworthy.
There is a small field of seven in the Stewards’ Handicap, in which King Pointer, Harvest Child and Pageant are likelv to monopolise the betting. No fewer than six of those iij the October Handicap (a mile, 2.14) are also in the Spring Handicap earlier m the dav. Three who should be in demand are The Shrew, Native Prince and Lady Dunmore. There are onlv nine in the cjnet event for trotters"(the Mountain Trot).

MASTERTON NOTES. (Special to the “ Star ”) MASTERTON, October 12Horses engaged at the Master ton meeting did the final gallops this movn--lUThe Nursery Stakes candidate Winlock went particularly well. Royal Tiger is exceptionally fit and greatly pleased. . Insurgent is in good form and is j credited with doing a fast three fur- ! longs at Trentham yesterday. Rillet was another that greatly pleased this morning. Stanchion, Jet Black and Waterspear also going well. Star Area and Billion strode along satisfactorily, and Sir Moment did a good gallop. Veronese did a particularly smart gallop this morning, and will probably start favourite for the Lansdowne Handicap. Grey Mist, Baskier and King Ouex, who are also in the same race, did good work, the latter galloping in convincing manner. Of the Masterton Handicap horses David Garrick, Blimp, Horomea and Teri showed up best. Moorgas ran most creditably, while Full Mark and Courageous, who are also in the Lawn Handicap, showed to advantage. Commendation is in great form, and was given barrier practice this morning. He is a bad starter, but shaped ali right at the barrier this morning, and did a great gallop. Dry Area greatly pleased the onlookers with his work this morning.
David Garrick and Teri are the popu lar double Teri will probably start in ♦he Grandstand in preference to the Masterton Handicap. <
TRENTHAM TRAINING NOTES.
(Special to the Star. ”) WELLINGTON, October 31. Pleasant conditions prevailed at Trentham this morning both .before and after breakfast. Trainers, so far, are about equallv divided as to the time of the day .for work, but next week should see. most of the galloping disposed of in the early, morning. Nearly all the horses with Masterton engagements were allowed to run along on the trial grass, which is hard and fast. The. course proper is in excellent order and looks as smooth as a bowling green As .the outside of. it is never used on racte days it may be available for training purposes just prior to the Wellington meeting.
Black Mint and Imarosebud galloped seven furlonge in lmin 34sec, and Rabbi sprinted three fiirlonge in 37sec. Royal Game was not asked tP go fast but paced apd cantered over a circuit. Bourse, who is improving, did good work; but was not sent along at a fast clip. Quantum and Glare, from the same stable, were given easy exercise after the breakfact interval. Quantum looks in good order to commence serious tasks. Wild. Pigeon was intended to be brought home by Sky bird, but finished a' mile alone in lmin 44sec, a very satisfactory effort. General Assembly and the Kilbroney —Favourito colt in H. B. Lorigan s stable sprinted three furlongs in 39sec. Rotowhe.ro and Tcheka finished on terms at the end of ; ix furlongs in lmin 19sec. Chief Singer was going nicely at the end of five furlongs in lmin 6 2-ssec. The Dove finished well clear of Lady Gay and Lady Passenger at the end of half a mile in 53sec. Insurgent (Kilbroney—Zia) and Shot Silk sprinted three furlongs' in 36sec. Insurgent is to race at Masterton on Saturdav. but lack of public experience may be against him. Gay Ballerina, who finished in the Gimcrack Stakes in Sydney, was noticed out trotting about in the midI die of the course. She looks none the j worse for her trip. t - ; Freeze Out and Dainty Wavs ran six | furlongs together in lmin 19sec. Ripdale and Araemo pleased by getting to the end of half a mile in olsec. Both are improved horses. The immediate racing campaign of Oratrix, Concentrate and Cimabue de- - pends on how they progress after their Sydney trip. Oratrix looks to have done best §nd Cimabue pleases more than concentrate. They were on;the track, this -morning, but were , not worked.
The Breeders’- Plate winner. Gold Tinge, temporarily I oojfite3 at Trentham until after the corning meeting, 1 is a fine cut of a two-year-old,” and his I looks alone will earn him many supporters for the Wellesley Stakes. He came out and cantered once round this > morning on the plough, moving most attractively. There is no doubt that he has thrived on his racing and travelling., and he is in great order. Courtlike. Push, Sapient, Duellona, and Miss Rene were schooled at the Barrier, and all jumped away well, except the last named. Afterwards the other four were sprinted three furlongs, 'Push narrowly beating Sapient, with Duellona and Courtlike a length away. The time was 37sec. The son of Nightraid. Push, had the outside running, and he sta}-ed Oliver}' well. Endorse arrived from Ellerslie this morning, and she rejoined H. Telford’s string. She was accompanied by the imported mare. Sunkiss, by Sunstar, who goes’ to the same trainer. Sunkiss is from Miss Cannon, by Gay Crusader, and has been leased by Mr lan Duncan to Mr B. H. Edkins for her racing career. Endorse has had a good spell and has been given every chance H. Telford has also received from St rdnev to train’ for Mr B. H. Edkins the two-vear-old Absurd-Blackmail fill) - , Becky Sharp, she is a racy-looking youngster, who should go fast. She was in R. O’Donnell's charge at Randwick. R. Alexander has his team at Trentham at Present —Freeze Out. Pari, Imarosebud and Rabbi. Imateagirl has been sent home. When Imperial Guard races next it will be as a gelding. The following trainers have booked accommodation at the Trentham Private Hotel:—W. Rayrrer (2 horses), G. Jones (2). C. Jackson (2), HJBatten (2), W. Hawthorne (2), R. Hatch (4), E. Dunne (1), F. Tilley, W. D; Moroney and F. Davis (2).

SILVER PAPER HAS GREAT PROSPECTS.
DUNEDIN GUINEAS WILL BE DECIDED TO-MORROW. (By "MARTIAN;.’.') The bag attraction on ’the concluding day of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s spring meeting to-morrow is the Dunedin Guineas,Which promises to be a great race. The field this year is small, only eight having had their engagements continued, but the quality is there, and it looks as if a good portion of the stake will come to Riccarton, which is represented by such smart youngsters as Goblin Market (Mr G. D. Greenwood), Childsplay and Prickles (Sir George Clifford), Starshooter (Mr C. G. Dalgety), Noteworthy (Mr G. Gerard) while Silver Paper has been trained at Riccarton by W. Stone for some time past. . This leaves only Phastar and Pound Note to represent southern interests. Form points to Silver Paper going out favourite in to-morrow’s race. He beat a fairly strong field of sprinters in the Electric Handicap 3’esterday, very easily,, and the extra two furlongs should not trouble him. Goblin Market had.his first race for some time in the Electric Handicap, and made a good showing, despite the fact that he did not get a place. .The Absurd gelding’s past form has been of a high order and last season he won the Dunedin Champagne Stakes and the Middle Park Plate, but raced disappointingly in the Canterbury Jockey Club Champagne Stakes, which was won by Prickles, with Miss Ransom and Concentrate filling the other places. Goblin Market will be all the better for the face yesterday and must be given a big chance. It is disappointing to learn that Sif George Clifford’s fine filly Prickles may not be a starter, as she was interfered with and injured more or less during the running .of the Mosgiel , Handicap. She has shown herself, 'in her few starts to date, to be a very promising sort, and it is to be hoped she will be able to go to the post. In which case, as she will be coupled with Childsplay, her number will be in great demand. Childsplay may find the distance troublesome. She is a brilliant sprinter, but on last year's form does not give the impression that she would ever make a stayer .or go a middle distance well. Starshooter should be capable of a fine effort. He has been doing all his work with Footfall, and doing it well, and with yesterday’s race into him he is likely to play a prominent part at the finish. Noteworthy suffered defeat yesterday in a race that looked a good thing for him, and he would not make friends by his effort for to-mor-row’s event. Phastar won over seven furlongs yesterday and should stay the distance, but, like Pound Note, his form is not good enough to point to his success here. Silver Paper will be the hardest to beat, but if Prickles starts and is herself she will give the Paper Money gelding something to do. In her absence, Goblin Market and Starshooter should be most trouble-’ some.
GOOD ACCEPTANCES AT MASTERTON MEETING.
BLIMP’S CHANCES IN CHIEF HANDICAP. (BY “MARTIAN.”), The Masterton Racing Club has received a fiqe list of acceptances for its spring meeting, to be - held • tormorjow . The presence of several New Zealand Cup candidates in the Masterton Handicap' will add interest to the race, while the form of Commendation in the Grandstand Handicap will be closely followed. Proceedings will open with the High Weight Handicap, in which Sunarfc heads the list, but the old fellow may find some of the others too tough a proposition. Starboard Light won a similar race very easily two or three weeks ago, and although the field he is now meeting is much stronger he seems most likely to get some of the stake. Shining Armour is in good trim, while Lady Gay ran so well at Carterton on Saturday that she is certain to be in the picture. Decoy Bird will probably start in the Grandstand Handicap. The Nurser3 r Handicap has drawn a big field, the majority not having had a race. There are two with recent form to t.heir credit, and they should fight out the final issue. These are Royal Flyer and Courtlike. The former accounted for the Nursery Handicap at the recent ITawke’s Bay fixture, winning from end to end, while Courtlike put up a very promising performance when he finished third to Speediight and Francolin. in the Debutante Stakes at Wanganui. In that event Coon Song also ran a creditable race, and should improve, being by Hunting Song.
Rillet demonstrated at Carterton last Saturday that he was coming into form by running second to Veronese, and he will be hi demand for the Maiden Stakes, in which Jet Black, who was third at Carterton, should improve. Dancing Star is due and is worth following. •
Another large field will line up for the Lansdowne Handicap. Historic’s form at the Grand National meeting was first clas&, and he will be in demand. Kalos seems likely to get some money, while Freeze Out has only to run up to his Wellington form to lie hard to beat.
Some New Zealand Cup candidates are down to make an appearance in the Masterton Handicap, including Black Mint and Blimp. The former has 8.11 and, on a heavj’- track will have to be respected. lie is reported to he very well.. Blimp, however, will probably have it over him as far as condition is concerned, and the Gasbag gelding will probably be the favourite. He has run some smart races of late, and with S.l is sure to go a good race. Royal Game is preferred moye in the Grandstand Handicap lower down, but David Garrick has a chance with 8.0. Horomea won the Carterton Handicap very easily, but is a moody sort. Teri gives signs of returning to form, while Anolo failed over seven furlongs on Saturday’ when solidly backed. There are some light-weights with form in their favour, including Kilmiss and Vigilance, while Talisker and Imperial Spark are quickly coming to their best. Blimp appeals most, but David Garrick should be close up and Imperial Spark appears to be the best of the outsiders.
Gold Cure has not raced up to expectations of late, and probably Mdorgas will be the elect of backers in the Lawn Handicap. The Gasbag geldingin his recent efforts, has, promised to Win a race very soon, and this is his opportunity. liolus Bolus is due and may be the hardest Moorgas has to beat. Jma rosebud scored a surprise win at the Wellington winter and i? worth keeping in mindous was backed at Carterton, and in a close finish, necks separating the first four horses, fourth was the best" h® could do. His party will be out for a Commendation is due to make an appearance in the Grandstand Handicap, and if he • leaves the post with the others, the race will he an easv thing for him,.despite his.big weight of. 10.13. Royal Game is racing very well just
now, and King Midas, who was second to him at Carterton, now meets him on 41b better terms and should beat him. Horomea is engaged in the mile and a-quarter. Pangolin’s form at Riccarton will be remembered, and of the others Decoy Bird looks the best. Outside of Commendation King Midas appeals most. Miss Gowrie should show up in the Electric Handicap, in which Dry Area, who won at Hastings recently, is likely to offer stout opposition);
AUCKLAND TROTS BEGIN TO-MORROW.
CANTERBURY HORSES ARE WELL FANCIED,
(BY’ OBSERVER.) The Auckland Trotting Club's spring meeting, which commences to-morrow, although not so important nor so popular as the summer fixture at the end of the year, always provides good racing. The fields on this occasion are not large, but two Cup candidates in Machme Gun and Kohara are engaged, as is another performer of class in Jewel Pointer, while promising and improving material is available in each of the minor classes. Auckland is almost always a happy hunting ground for Canterbury horses, and this meeting should be'no exception to the rule, as the Aucklanders have not had a race meeting since June, and have, moreover, been at a disadvantage through track conditions being much inferior to those prevailing here. The Great N orthern Trotting Derby has still a large field engaged, but, unfortunately, some of the good ones have struck trouble and will not be produced for the event.
The opening event.is the Waitemata Handicap of one mile and a half, 3.42 class, for unhoppled trotters. On scratch is the Peterwah mare, Etta Cole, who should be well supported on the machine. As it is three and a half months since the last races in Auckland, there is not a great deal of form available in some events, but Billy Carbine, Gold Star, Roma Bingen and Kolmar were showing promise last season, while Bright Light and Anseline are back-markers with reasonable chances. If Etta Cole gives of ber best and goes truly, nothing in this field should overtake her. Kolmar and Billy Carbine may also run prominently. For the Improvers’ Handicap, 3.28 i! class, one mile and a half, the Can-terbury-trained Free Advice on 24vds, should be very well fancied. Other Canterbury horses in Sunfish and Laplander have recent form to recommend them, and the Auckland competitors will have a job to head off these three. Daytime may be the best of the northerners but it looks as though Free Advice, Sunfish and Laplander will be hard to beat.
The principal event, the Spring Handicap, has attracted a small but select field for the £IOOO stake. The class is 4.31. Jackie Audubon, on scratch, won on the first day of the Metropolitan Club’s meeting at Addington in August, doing 4.31 2-5 from a 4.33 mark. His win was registered in most impressive style, and if one does not accept his poor form on the final day of that meeting—form which was too bad to be true—then Jackie Audubon is one of the coming performers. Talent and Da!meney are on 12yds behind, or 4.30.
Both have been on 4.29 quite recently, and one must remember that Talent won here in August, though at a mile and a quarter only. Loch Moigh, also on 12yds, won on the final of the meeting at Addington in August, doing 4.29 from a 4.32 mark, and beating Western King, who •was conceding 24yds. The win was a good one, but although Loch, Moigh, is .certainly nicely placed; on 12ycl§ behind, Western. King, oh 24yds should just about have his measure on the Addington running. The latter, with a record .of 4.27 is not badly treated on a 4.29 mark. Gold Jacket, on 36 yards, is not unduly penalised for his, win at. the . National fixture in the King George Handicap—4.29 class—but . his work lately has not been convincing. Machine Gun (48yds) and Kohara (60yds are each let up a second on t.hefr Trotting Cup handicaps, while Jewel Pointer, who’ was handicapped to do 4.225 in \he Trotting Cup, is now on 4.24 in this event —a difference, of eighteen yards, or six yards better off taking a line through Machine Gun and Kohara. Jn view of Jew r el Pointer’s fine showing here in August, he must be given a great chance in this event, and as he wilt be coupled with Western King if both are started, the bracket should be greatly favoured by backers. If Gold Jacket is produced at his best he should be given a good chance, but in view of the unfavourable impression created in his training work, the chances of Jackie Audubon and Loch Moigh must be preferred, even although the handicapper appears to have given everything in the race but Jackie Audubon a let-up of one second.
The Great Northern Derby still retains the acceptance of seventeen juveniles— many of them well-bred and promising, but some of the youngsters have been- unfortunate and the field is sure to be reduced when paraded. Belle Ax worthy seems certain to be missing, whiles Sonoma Child and Grand Light, winner and rpnner-up in the Sapling ..Stakes at Ashburton, are reported .to be. under .a cloud.- On recent performance the WracklerYVrackeen bracket should see a very short price, especially if Sonoma Child and Grand Light, are missing. Trustworthy, who showed lots of promise as a two-year-old last year, seems to be Auckland’s hope, although her work lately has not been a recommendation as a Derby preparation. Mr Sheehan has a great opinion of his Australianbred Auto Machine—Tipsy Maid colt, and if he is present be may be the one, in the absence of Sonoma Child and Grand Light, to give Wrackler the most trouble.
For the Stewards’ Handicap, a 4.37 class, two miles, King Pointer, on 4Syds, appears to have a royal chance. Harvest Child, scratch, and Taipare, 24yds, should give good accounts of themselves, but if it is wet and the track is soft, Pageant will take lots of. beat-
The October Handicap, a , 2.14 class mile, should see J. Shaw’s pair. Native Prince (12yds) and Western King (36yds) receiving lots of financial support. Jackie Audubon (12vds), if reserved for this, must be hard to beat, and Talent (12vds) should run well at this distance. The Shrew (scratch) is reported to have also been placed under J. Shaw’s care, so if he starts all three the bracket should be a screaming favourite.
The two mile race for unhoppled trotters is a 4.40 class, and a field of nine have paid up. Great Change, who disappointed so badly here in August, is training in splendid style. If he does his best in a race it .will be easy money for him. Maxegin, 36yds behind, should be papatile of big things ' here, si though the dirt track at Addington piay suit him better than the northern course. Of the back : rharkers, Sister Beatrice, 102 yd?, should be in good order as she was doing' well in August, but she. will be kept busy to keep p£ Young Blake", ll4vds. If Great Change produces the best he is capable of, it would take something extraordinary to beat him'from his present mark, but he has disappointed so often tatelv that it would be no surprise to see Maxegin, Sister Beatrice and Young Blake in the places.
Ope of the largest fields of the day is in- the 2.50 class mile and a quarter —the Electric Handicap. Free Advice is again engaged, and if reserved for this event should receive liberal support. Dunda's Boy fscratch), Pageant (12yds), William the Great (12yds) and Fight Ever (60yds) are other Can-terbury-trained horses engaged. Taipare, I2vds. again appears, as also does Native Prince, who is on 4Syds. Free Advice should have a good chance here, but Native Prince and William the Great must he difficult to dispose of.
