The first race at Ashburton tomorrow will be started at noon and the final event at 3.50 p.m. H« sjc He He In connection with the Ashburton County Racing Club’s meeting tomorrow, a special train will leave Christchurch at 9.42 am The return journey will be commenced from the racecourse siding at 4.35 p.m. and the train is due in Christchurch at 6.15 p.m. j . * He He <« Limerick will provide an extra attraction at the Ashburton meeting to-morrow. F. D. Jones will take Mr H. A. Knight’s champion as a mate for Toawai, and in the interval between the third and fourth races Limerick will be given a gallop. H sfc Lancer and Troilus were in the money in both the hurdle races at South Canterbury, and they will be the best backed horses in the opening event at Ashburton. * H* H* :« Fortalice looks like getting some money if started in the hack event at Ashburton. He showed consistent form at South Canterbury last week. * Sfs He Sfc The unlucky Haze has been racing very consistently of late and he should be in the money in the Mayfield Handicap at Ashburton. He * * * Evening is likely to play a promin ent part in the Mayfield Handicap. She ran a particularly good race when she finished fourth in the Teschemaker Handicap at South Canterbury. s}e H« He He Provided he trains on, Radiate is likely to play a leading part in important cross-country events before the close of the winter campaign. He should keep the opposition very busv in the Dromore Steeplechase at Ashburton and the race will help bis preparation for Trentham. * * H< H? Rascal registered a good performance when he ran second to Black Duke in the concluding event at South Canterbury, where the heavy track favoured him. With similar conditions he should beat First Raid at Ashburton. * He He H* Zippor has been withdrawn from his engagement on the first day at Napier Park. He is being selected as a horse likely to race well among the hurdlers at the Grand National meeting. * He He * On Top, a three-year-old gelding by Surveyor from Te Moti, arrived from the north yesterday. He has done all his racing in Auckland and he has three wins to his credit this season, but though a useful galloper, he has a bad reputation at the barrier. He has gone into the stable of the well know A trotting trainer R. B. Berry.

Mr Richard Allen, who died yesterday, was for many years a committeeman and steward of the Canterbury jockey Club. He owned a number of horses at different periods, all of them being trained by M. Hobbs. The first of these horses was Little Arthur, a good hurdler in his day. The best performer to carry his colours was Saracen, by St George from Fair Nell. His successes included the Great Easter Handicap as a three-year-old and the Timaru Cup two seasons later. About this period Mr Allen took two ponies, Mistle and Lady Darling to Australia, where' they were raced. After being off the scene for a number of years he and his trainer raced Ivanoff, Aimee Soult. Field Gem and Franc in partnership, Ivanoff winning the Canterbury Welcome Stakes. About this time Mr Allen left on a visit to England, Mr Hobbs purchasing his interest in the horses. That was about twenty-four years ago and he did not again figure as an owner. * * H« ♦ Son o’ Mine, who won the Hunt Cup Steeplechase as well as the Hunters’ Hurdles at Hawera this week, is a gift horse. He competed at the Ellerslie meeting in June last year in the colours of Mr G E. Trevor, of Palmerston North, being trained by J. Coyle at Awapuni Not satisfied with his displays, the trainer advised Mr Trevor to give him away as a hack to J Brown, trainer at Hawera, and the latter has built up the son of Finland and Landrail to such an extent that he looks like doing even better before his career is finished. Son o’ Mine’s owner intends handing on to Mr Trevor the £SO gold cup which accompanied the winning stake. Ht * # * The Woodville trainer, J. Sullivan, has Arrowhead back in work again, and the Arrowsmith gelding is looking in first-class order after his spell. * * * * The Gisborne Racing Club will pay the steamer fare, one way only, from Napier or Auckland, on any . horse ' accepting and starting at its meeting next month. Such enterprise is to be commended and should achieve its ob ject of attracting horses from far afield * * * * Some racing clubs with two-day meetings are applying in the new season for two single day fixtures. It is recognised, of course, that clubs in such case are mostly up against it financially, and are merely seeking a way to weather the period of depression, but it is questionable, writes “The Watcher,” whether this is the right way to do it. Single day meetings that entail travelling on the part of horses are not popular with trainers, and in this connection also neither are twoday meetings of minor importance that are held with a day intervening. * * * * The win of. Paleta in the Flying Handicap at the Egmont-Wanganui Hunt Club’s meeting this week is an indication that he is back to form. Paleta was first class at two and three years, but unfortunately unsoundness interrupted his racing career from the spring of his three-year-old career, until last month at Hawera. There he ran an excellent race despite his long absence from the public eye, nor did he disgrace himself a week later at the Wanganui meeting. The field be beat this week included some smart sprinters, and he and the runner-up, Hopwood. performed in a manner which will at tract considerable attention to their Trentham prospects. Paleta is in the Whyte Handicap with 9.12 and Hopwood has 93 in the Stewards’ Handicap. * * * * “It’s all very well for politicians to talk about the necessity for controlling racing, but successive Governments in West Australia have, on the whole made more out of racing than the rao ing clubs.” President Lee Steere, of the Western Australian Turf Club, hit the nail very squarely on the head at the annual meeting when he mentioned the club had only made £236 out of the year’s racing, while the Govern ment’s share was £14,729.

TROTTING NOTES.

The three-year-old Real Huon, who is engaged in the Lyndhurst Handicap at Ashburton, showed a lot of speed in his first race as a two-year-old. This was in the Sapling Stakes last season, when in a fast-run race he finished second to John Jinks. Real Huon, who is by Denver Huon from Placid, has not so far raced well this season. Not many of Denver Huon’s stock show form as young horses and they seem to require time to mature. The early training of Real Hon may have affected his speed as a three-year-old. He is a well-grown gelding who may race better next season. * He * Lily Bingen, who is in the mile and a quarter event at Ashburton, should be better suited to this distance than a longer journey. She is not always reliable at the start, but she has a good deal of speed. She is by Nelson Bingen from Lily F.. the dam of that once good pacer, Wild Thyme. * Ht He * The South Canterbury trainer, R Townley. has a useful representative in Otaio Rose in the mile and a quat ter event at Ashburton. Otaio Roscis by Cello Sydney Wilkes, the sire oi Lady Cello, from a mare by the Ribbon wood horse Black Ribbon. She is a quick beginner and has a useful turn of speed, being at her best over short courses. Ht He S* The New Brighton-trained pacex, Kate Logan, has done a good deal ol racing during the season, and has pe? fonned very consistently. Up to a mile and a half she is quite a useful performer and is particularly honest. She is in the mile and a quarter race at Ashburtbn and should give a gooa account of herselt. * * He :J* A couple of two-year-olds are en gaged in the mile and a half event at Ashburton. J. Bryce has Rawhitiroa, by Rey de Oro from Bright Alice, the dam of the New Zealand Cup winner Kohara, and L. Frost the two-year-old filly Symmetry, by Great Audubon from Sympathy. * H« * H« In the mile and a half event at Ashburton Lady Zora, by Brent. Locanda from lied vie, and Zane, by Oinako from the same mare, are on the limit of the handicap. He ijr tfc Glenville has been an unlucky pace, this season, as she has put up some capital performances without much pecuniary gain. In the mile and a half event at Ashburton she is on 48yds. and while it can be expected that she will put up a good race, it is more than possible that several in front of her will go equally as fast.

WINTER MEETING AT TE AWAMUTU

WAIPA CLUB HAS GOOD PROGRAMME. (Special to the 44 Star.”) AUCKLAND. June 27 The winter meeting of the Waipa Racing Club will be held at Te Awamutu to-morrow.

MIGNONNE AND TORPEDO HUON. TWO RECRUITS FOR J. BRYCE S STABLE. (Special to the “Star.”) AUCKLAND. June 26 Since he was sold by Mrs Sweetapple to Mr E. J. Parkes, the Australianbred horse Torpedo Huon has been a complete disappointment. At times in his training work he has shown sufficient speed to hint at him being hard to dispose of in his races, but when it came to race day he was not a good one. He must have caused his trainer L. M’Mahon, no end of worry, but that is finished now, as the son of Rock Huon has gone south to receive his future training from J. Bryce. The Matchlight mare Mignonne. another owned by Mr Parkes, was also taken 3outh by Bryce. ACCEPTANCES. i OAMARU JOCKEY CLUB. Per Press Association. „ . OAMARU. June 26.
