Scobie, who had the misfortune to break a bone in his left ankle, in a fall with Bonatic, has been discharged from the hospital. He is on crutches yet, and some weeks will elapse before he is well enough to ride again. * * * *

Footfall has shown no signs of a recurrence of his leg troubles. He has been working along well lately, but now he has developed an internal complaint, which will keep him off the scene for a few days. Paperchase has recovered from the slight mishap that occurred to her through being galloped on in the Stewards’ Handicap. Provided Footfall is all right early in the week, these two will be the mainstays of the team for Auckland, while Chide and the two-year-old filly Stately may accompany them on the trip. * * * * F. Christmas has made no definite plans regarding holiday engagements for his team. A good deal will depend how Red Heckle progresses during the next week or two. This three-year-old showed very attractive form at the re cent Riccarton meeting, and if he goes on all right he will gain further honours in important events later in the season. ♦ * a* * G. J. Pine has reduced his active team by four. Crossbow, Fair Exchange and Don Jose are to be sent home to their owner’s station, to be spelled for a few months, while Paper Boy will also have a rest, though he will remain at his trainer’s quarters. Pine has five horses in active commission. Amourette and Twang will be raced at the South Canterbury meeting and these two, along with Silver Coot, Noteworthy and Pixie Gold, will be kept going in view of the Christmas and New Year holidays. Probably they will be raced at the Manawatu and Wairarapa meetings. * * * * F. D. Jones has decided to nominate some of his team for the Manawatu meeting, as well as for Auckland, leaving the final decision regarding the holiday programme to depend on the weights his horses receive at the two meetings. First Sight will be the star of the team, which also may include Arikiwai’s three-year-old brother Toawai, in addition to a two-year-old. * * * * Rapier shows no ill-effects from the slight mishap that occurred to him in the New Zealand Cup. He is striding along freely in his tasks and he should be at his best by Boxing Day, when he may be included in the Auckland Cup field. * * * * T. Lloyd has not done a great deal with Hoylake since the close of the recent meeting, at which he had three hard races. The grey horse is expected to make his next appearance in the Auckland Cup and he may play a leading part in that event, although he will have to carry decent weights in future engagements. * 0 * 0 The two-year-old Honour, the winner of the Welcome Stakes, is in regular work,_ in view of other engagements later in the season. He is not nearly at his best yet, but he will test the other juveniles severely in the autumn if all goes well with him in the meantime. * * * * Mr W. T. Hazlett’s two-vear-old Cossack Chief, by Chief Ruler, from Nottavo, has joined E. Scoullar’s stable, in which the Southland owner also has Louise quartered.

Bonomel has been fired and blistered, and R. Longley has sent the jumper home for a good spell.

The roan gelding Sayonara, by Clarenceux —Mulverin, has been sent home to his owner’s station. He has been given every chance to recover from an accident, in which he broke a small bone in one of his legs, but there seems no prospect of him standing another preparation. * * * * R. Longley’s mare. High Heels, by Rokeby—Reel, has foaled a good-look-ing filly to Royal Stag. 0 0 0 * Two of Mr H. A. Knight’s mares have foaled to the imported horse Diacquenod, by Diadumenos, a son of Orby. Currency, by Paper Money from Kilroy, has a filly, while Madrid (dam of Malaga, Urgency and Zaragoza), by Vasco —Flame, has a very fine colt. * * * * H. Lorigan took Diana’s Lad back when he returned to Trentham from Riccarton and will in future have charge of the training of this promising jumper. * * * * Palmerston North reports credit Mr W. White with the intention of retiring from racing. Colour is lent to the rumour by the recent sale of Crown Area and Moorgas. * 4? * * Mr J. Fotheringham, who represents Mr R. Acton-Adams in Dunedin, has received a cablegram from Perth stating that Tione, Kilreid, and Indian Sage have each won a race. Tione had previously run second in a field of 20. * * 0 * The Caulfield trainer Stan. Reid brother of the Trentham trainer S. J. Reid and formerly one of New Zealand’s prominent horsemen, will arrive in Wellington on holiday in a few days. * * •* * __ The fact has long since been estab iished that the Messrs Brien made a happy purchase when they bought the English-bred sire Rossendale, for progeny of the St Frusquin horse have won prize-money well over £70,000 in the four seasons in which they have figured on the Australian turf. For a sire to have to his credit a succession of such races as the A.J.C. St Leger, Sydney Cup, the Metropolitan Stakes, and the Caulfield Cup within a period of six months is one of the most remarkable demonstrations of prepotency we have had in Australia (remarks a Sydney writer). Rossendale’s great winners were Winalot, Jocelyn and Maple, and they have won over distances ranging from a mile and a-half to two miles. Thus Rossendale has at least three great stayers representing him, and the oldest of them is only five years old. # * * * The North Island sportsman, Mr S. J. Gibbons, had reason to regard the results of the racing at Riccarton with a good deal of satisfaction. He bred the New Zealand Cup winner, Oratrix, also her three-year-old brother, who scored a meritorious win in the Stonyhurst Handicap, after failing in the Derby. These two are by Kilbroney from Oratress, by Demosthenes from Equitas, by Advance from Muriwai, by Torpedo from Mysterv Girl, who traces back to a New South Wales mare of unknown blood. There is little doubt, in spite of her pedigree being untraced, that Equitas is clean bred. She was a high class galloper, and while .the odd freak may at times be a smart performer, Equitas has bred on too successfully to be regarded as anything but a thoroughbred. Oratress was the first of her progeny and she included a New Zealand Cup among her successes. She was the best performer left by Equitas, but Equitable (by Hallowmas), Murihaupo (by Sunny Lake), and Bank Note (by Paper Money) were all useful. The first foal of Oratress, a filly by Absurd, was named Windbag, but she did very little racing, though she won a race before being retired to the stud. She was followed by Oratrix and Concentrate, both of whom are likely to add to their good racing deeds later on this season. There is a two-year-old filly by Chief Ruler from Oratress, who is highly spoken of. Mr Gibbons also has a number of other youngsters bred from the Equitas family. Equitas herself is due to foal to Desert Gold's brother, Nigger Minstrel, and she will be mated with imported Diacquenod, as will Oratress, who has a colt by Hunting Song this season. Martianette, by Martian— Equitas, has a yearling colt by Chief Ruler, and she has been mated this season with Hunting Song, whose list also includes the Absurd—Oratress mare, Windbag. There should thus be some good ones to represent this successful line during the next few seasons. For private reasons Mr Gibbons contemplates an early retirement from active association with breeding, and it is probable that he will dispose of his stud at the Trentham sales in January, though he may reserve Equitas, who is in her twenty-third year, and therefore not likely to have many more years of stud usefulness. 0 0 0 + The customary Free Handicap for two-year-olds will not be run at Newmarket, England, this year, but, so that the public shall know the opinion of the handicapper, Mr T. F. Dawkins, ai to the merits of the youngsters, \,he stewards of the Jockev Club have invited him to frame a two-year-old handicap at the close of the season. There will be no race, but the English public will find Mr Dawkins’s ideas interesting. In last year’s Free Handicap, Mr Dawkins gave Fairway top weight, 9.0, and, despite the latter’s Derby failure! that estimate has worked out well! Flamingo and Black Watch, second and third in the Derby, had 8.10 and 8.9 in the Free Handicap. Felstead, the winner of the Derby, was not weighted among the 100 youngsters selected. 0 0 0 0 At the recent -arling sales at Deauville (France), 529 vearlings were sold for a total of a little over £348 000 That made a satisfactory average but the unpleasant part of the business for many breeders was that 428 lots were passed in owing to not reaching their reserve. Possibly, many breeders had exaggerated ideas regarding the value of their stock, and they were not realised, owing to buyers not being as numerous as they anticipated Of those sold, 143 made £BOO or over and there were 21 sales at prices raneine from £2580 to £4150. The latter fifurf 1 was paid by Mr J. Widener for a Sardanaple colt. The biggest buyer was a Beltran owner, M T —», es W'ittouck who paid 2,550.000 francs (a little over ' £20,000) for fifteen yearlings.

In Ireland there has been a deal of' friction regarding the control of the totalisator when it is installed at racecourses in that country but the difficulty of representation was overcome a few weeks ago at a meeting of breeders, owners, trainers, and representatives of race clubs. It was agreed that the most suitable committee of control would be not less than three members of the Irish Turf Club, and not less than three also of the Irish National Hunt Stee~I—base 1 —base Committee. In addition, two representatives for breeders, owners, and trainers, two also for race executives, with a further member possessed of expert legal and financial knowledge, such member not to be a member of the Turf Club or Irish National Hunt Steeplechase Committee. The chairman said that unless there was unanimity, the Government would not bring in a Bill licensing the totalisator on racecourses until next year, or possibly not until 1930, whereas if there were unanimity the Bill would be introduced during the next session of An Dail. The hitch prior to the recent arrangement was that the Irish Turf Club and Irish National Hunt Steeplechase Committee wanted too great a controlling hand. 0 0 0 0 An electric battery may get a winning effort out of a horse that can gallop, but is ungenerous, but cannot impart speed to a horse that does not possess it. At an inquiry held in Adelaide last week by the South Australian Jockey Club stipendiary stewards, an apprentice named J. Clark, admitted having used a battery on the horse Antonym at Gawler, but exonerated the owners, Messrs A. and J. Timeri, and the trainer, H. J. Bailey, from complicity. The stewards agreed with that, but though in this case the trainer was guiltless, the jockey who uses a battery rarely keeps the horse’s trainer entirely in the dark. The stewards have made a recommendation to the South Australian Jockev Club, and meanwhile Clark is suspended. In Adelaide the Trainers* and OwnersTrainers’ Association is moving in the matter, and when it is proved a battery has been used on a horse in a race, the committee will ask the South Australian Jockey Club to take definite actioij. Perhaps the idea is to debar a horse from again competing, even if the owner and trainer are not associated with the use of the battery. Such procedure would be hard on innocent people, but it would keep own ers and trainers thoroughly alive to their responsibility.

TROTTING NOTES.

The well-known pacing mare Onyx has produced a colt to the American stallion Peter Chenault. Onyx will be mated this season with Native King. 0 0 0 0 There were only seven starters in the Christchurch Handicap, on the last dav of the recent meeting, although *here was a nomination of twenty. The stake was £IOOO, and as far as could be seen the work of the club's handicapper had nothing to do with the small field. Of the horses who were nominated and did not start Machine Gun, Loganwood, Black Admiral, Taurekareka. Dalnahine and Imprint showed such bad form that it seemed useless to send them to the post. There was an ekcuse foi Peter Bingen, as he had already won two races, and possibly his owners thought he had had enough racing Daphne de Oro was injured, and Peterwah was sore. There was, however nothing to prevent the appearance oi Logan Park, who had raced well over a short course at the meeting, or Prince Pointer, who showed good form throughout. He and Logan Park would have been coupled on the machine, and undoubtedly would have added to the contest. Terence Dillon was only started in the Cup, in which he met with interference at the start. It i- c understood that his absence during the remainder of the meeting was due tc a death in the family of one of the owners. Great Bingen was at his best, and he, together with Ahuriri, who also showed good form but was unlucky would have improved the class of the field. Owners are continually calling out for good stakes, but in some of the races at the November meeting at Addington it looked as though they did not feel inclined to accept the chance of winning big money when it was offered.

0 0 0 0 If there is one horse that Mr Fogg has been generous to at the Forbury Park meeting it is Roi L’Or in the Caversham Handicap. At the Canterbury Park Club’s winter meeting Roi L'Or won over a mile and a half in 3min 26 l-ssec, or approximately a 4min 36sec gait for two miles, and in being placed on 4min 41sec he has been given every encouragement to start. 0 0 0 0 Many will no doubt contend that Mr Fogg has taken a risk in putting Koro Peter on 12yds in the Roslyn Handicap, but it must be remembered that a handicapper is not justified in framing a horse’s handicap on what he thinks it can do. If that was the case many horses would be much further back in the handicaps than they are. * * In the Trial Handicap at Oamaru on Labour Day, Le Thorpe showed a fine burst of speed, but his driver forced him out into a big lead a long way from home, and he stopped in the run home. The Our Thorpe gelding would stand a chance in the Progressive Handicap if his reinsman exercised a little patience. 0 0 0 0 The Central Otago gelding Wattle Patch has be/n nominated for the loose-class trotters’ race on the second day of the Forbury Park meeting. If he has been taught how to begin quickly, he should win a race during the season. 0 fjO * 0 Roddy has pace enough to win a loose-class race. He was moving nicely in the Trial Handicap at Qamaru when he broke badly. by Rey de Oro from that good mare Fran z&lena, and is in the stable of A. Smith, who has turned out many smart performers .

RICCARTON NOTES. Saturday. The weather was fine for training operations this morning, but the work was not of an exciting character. The trial grass track was open, but most of the trainers patronised the plough. Money Order reeled off half a mile on the grass in 50sec. Battle Colours went well while doing a mile in lmin 43sec. Uproar and Caterpillar registered 50 2-ssec for half a mile, Malmsey equalling that effort by herself. Honour galloped about six furlongs on the plough, Jaleux accompanying him most of the way. Honour finished in front, but they were not tried out seriously. Philippic and Haze covered six furlongs on the plough in lmin IBsec, while Goblin Market occupied lmin 19 2-ssec, going very easily. Toawai galloped six furlongs in lmin 18 3-ssec, Belcaire accompanying him for the last five. Paperchase ran six furlongs nicely in lmin 18 l-ssec, while Chide registered lmin 17 2-ssec, a smart effort. First Sight was given a working gallop over a mile. Lancer was tried over a couple of hurdles, but his effort was not attractive. He jumped the first fairly well, but it was only after several attempts that he cleared the second flight. Hoylake was restricted to an easy run over six furlongs, which occupied lmin 21sec. Count Cavour was given useful pace work. Limerick did steady pacing. He looks in great health. Rapier, looking <bright and well, did trotting exercise in the centre. Buoyant was accompanied in a run over five furlongs by Mentone, a use-ful-looking gelding by Sutala. Rascal and Thurso were associated over six furlongs on the plough, the pair going at an even pace and finishing up in lmin 19 2-ssec. Skyquest was doing better than Spode at the end of a five furlong spin. Louise ran half a mile by herself, but she was going very easily at the finish. Zeuxis showed to advantage at the end of a five furlong gallop, in which he had Campanula as a mate.

FIRST DAY’S RACING AT WIN TON.

BIG DROP IN TOTALISATOR FIGURES. (Special to the “Star.”) INVERCARGILL, November 16. The Winton Jockey Club’s annual meeting opened in glorious weather. There was a fair attendance considering that it was an off day. The withdrawal of three runners enabled the Trial Stakes to be run in one division, with Lady Blue first fancy, carrying two hundred and ten chances more than Stringbow, with Some Toff close up next. Full Flight made the early running, but Full Fling led into the straight from Full Flight and Pukemaori. At the distance Lady Blue made a run and got up to fight out a great finish. Lady Blue won by a short neck from Full Fling, with Pukemaori two lengths away third.. Then came Full Flight, Ohai and Soldan in that order. Lady Blue made her debut at Gore to stand on the mark in the race and then get up into second place, hence her position in the wagering to-day. She is trained by J. R. Waite, well known in light harness circles. The runner-up is a three-year-old filly by Some Boy 11., from Joan, trained by Rowlands, at Invercargill. Full Flight, who comes from Timaru, failed to stay over the final half furlong. In a field of nineteen the South Canterbury representative, Le Thorpe, was made first favourite for the Hokonui Trot, carrying about three hundred and twenty chances more than Tarndale, with Eiffiel Tower about eighty followers off in third position. Sunfire, Jolly Maid, Louath, Erin’s Fortune and Hvlast lost their chances at the start. Le Thorpe, who began well, had Black Briar as attendant for over a mile and a half, with Baker Boy next. Then Tamdale joined in. Leading into the straight Le Thorpe held his own to win easily by nearly two lengths from Baker Boy, with Tarndale a length off third. Then came Shady Spot. Celerity 11. always was first in demand for the Winton Cup, to carrv one hundred and three chances more than Apache, with Lucy Locket about two hundred and twenty supporters off, next in demand Queen Balboa was the outsider of the field. The race was run at a slow pace during the early stages, with Overdrawn attended by Apache, Celerity 11., and Lucy Locket in close attendance. At the far turn Overdrawn had Apache, Celerity 11. and Lucy Locket in line at his heels. Racing across the top Lucy Ljfcket knocked back Celerity 11. and went on to lead into the straight from Apache and Queen Balboa. At the distance Queen Balboa had the measure of Celerity 11., while Apache dropped back. Bilbo then oppeared on the scene and defeated his stable mate Queen Balboa, by a long neck, with the fast finishing Lucy Locket nearly two lengths off third. Then came Apache, and Celerity 11. close up, with Overdrawn well back. The winner and the runner-up are trained by F. W. Ellis, at Invercargill. Bilbo looked particularly well, and was cleverly ridden by L. J. Ellis. For the Winton Steeplechase there was a great battle for .the position of first fancy, Nylotis ultimately carrying three chances more than Tunamoe, with Jovial three hundred and fifty friends away in third place. Tunamoe and Jovial made the early running. Then Blazing Light took command, with the field handy. About seven furlongs from home Blazing Light ran wide. At the sod wall Windermere took up the running. At the far turn Nylotis assumed the lead from Windermere, and Tunamoe and Jovial. Leading into the straight Nylotis stalled off a challenge by Tunamoe and beat him easily by four lengths, with Windermere eight lengths off third. Then came Jovial and Blazing Light. Early in the race Apollyon was pulled up. The winner, who is trained by Mr F. W. Ellis, has been a consistent winner of late. Rin Tin Tin was a very warm first fancy for the Flying Handicap, carrying about four hundred and seventy

chances more than Father O’Flynn, with Flying Mist about one hundred and ninety supporters further off in a small PO9I of only £773 10s. Father O’Flynn just led Rin Tin Tin throughout to the straight, where Solzia could be,seen coming from the rear. At the distance Rin Tin Tin was beaten. A little further on Solzia (J. L. Cotton) came fast and in a strong finish beat Father O’Flynn by a nose, with Rin Tin Tin over t\fco lengths away third. The winner, who is trained by G. Hope at Invercargill, finished with a bulldog run. Eastwood, on Father O’Flynn, may have failed to see the winner coming, as he disposed of Rin Tin Tin on the inside. The result caused a surprise, particularly the easy fashion in which the favourite compounded when asked to come on. Battle Maid was an easy first fancy for the Barkly Handicap, carrying about two hundred and thirty chances more than Some Signal, with Insolence next in demand. Battle Flag was first to show out, but Insolence ran to the front approaching the far turn. Carrying on across the top Insolence led into the straight and ran home an easy winner by two and a half lengths from Battle Flag, with Cetchela two lengths off third. Then almost in line came Battle Maid, Cupid's Dart and Money Mine. The winner is a welldred daughter of Solferino—Comment, and is trained by R. M’Kay at Invercargill. She recently returned a long price when she notched a surprise victory at Gore. This running was confirmed to-day, as she scored very easily. The runner-up, Battle Flag, is a nice mare by Martian—Lady Kinloch, who raced as if about to return to form. For the Otapiri Trot, Wilma Dillon was first in order of selection, carrying three hundred and forty chances more than Marvin Dillon but Chimingdale and Erin’s Pet also were stronglyr followed. Prior to the start the five-year-old gelding Campanula, by Cathedral Chimes from the well-known mare Bellflower, owned by Mr James Hamilton, his breeder, dropped dead on the track. The money invested, on him was returned to the public. The favourite, Wilma Dillon, began badly and lost several seconds. Marvin Dillon and Brown Pointer made the pace at a fast gait. At the far turn Brown Pointer was beaten. Marvin Dillon led into the straight, with Wilma DiiJon making up ground in brilliant fashion. Catching the leader below the distance Wilma Dillon beat him home easily by a length, Marvin Dillon fifteen lengths in front of the third horse, Erin’s Pet. Then came Brown Pointer. The winner is a five-year-old son of John Dillon from a Marvin Wilkes mare. Despite the fact that he lost several seconds and also started 36yds behind, Wilma Dillon caught the leaders in a surprising fashion, to go on and win very easily. The runnerup also is a descandant of John Dillon, who appears to be siring some very fast performers in the south. For the Tradesmen’s Handicap King Balboa was elected first fancy, carrying about one hundred chances more than Some Rose, with Spean Bridge five hundred and fifty supporters away third. Some Rose and Spean Bridge ran in company throughout to the straight from King Balboa, with Soltoe next. Below the distance Some Rose was beaten and over the last bit King Balboa easily held an advantage to beat Spean Bridge by half a length, Some Rose three lengths off third, just in front of Soltoe.
