WINNING JOCKEYS. Latest returns from England show that C. Wood still heads the list of winning jockeys, having np to the 2nd of Angnsl won 96 races, and lost only 160. In roand numbers this means that be has won 371 per cent, of the races in which he has ridden daring tbe season, a truly marvellous record. Archer who is second on the list, won 89 and lo .t 215, bis aggregate and average being therefore considerably below those of bis great rival. Between tbe two cracks and tbe i mainder there is as usual a considerable gn G. Barrett, who has ridden for more rat a than any other jockey in England (including both Wood and Archer), having won only 62- ; J. Watts, 50 ; F. Barrett, 46 ; and J. Fagan, 42. Tom Cannon is unusually low down tbe list with 39 wins, whilst F. Webb has only 17, and old Johney Osborne only a dozen ont of 105 mounts. TWO-YEAR OLDS. A general meeting of the Australian J ckey Club was held at Tattersall’s Club too is on Sept 16, to consider the following moti< i, of which Mr Henry Austin had gi\ n notice;—“ That from and after Oct. 1,18 •>, no ‘two year old race shall be run >r in New Sontb Wales prior to tbe fi it " two year old ” event included in i te Australian Jockey Club’s programm There was a numerous attendance of me i. hers. Mr Austin, in moving the resolul n contended that the main object of rai i ig was to cue ur.r’a *he breeding of high cl is horses, with ■ undeniable pedigree, conn e, good temper, and substance, horses that cr Id gallop fast, stay, and carry weight, and I bat the possession of these qualities in combination was rendered more than improbable ay tbe early racing of two year olds. He arg >id that racing and stnd records showed t it the horses which had done the least amo it of two year old racing had been the n st snccesfnl on the turf and at the stnd. he following amendment was cairied :—“ 1 bat tbe question should be referred to the < aference composed of ihe Standing Commit: cs of the A.J.C. and the N V.R.O. '

WINNING OWNERS IN AUSTRAL! . The Australasian pnbliehes tbe anr ill ?’atemcnt of winning owners, and from ( da 11 appears that the Hon James White is a, dn *t the top of the tree, and the past \ ar •hows the Kirkham stable up in a r ist 'emarkable light, whichever way we look at *t. Daring the season of 1884-85 e ;ht horses bearing the bine and white banm .■ of the “ squire of Kirkham’’ won 20 rules worth £9071 ; bnt the record below tel: i a still more substantial tale, as Matchl ck, Acme, Nordenfeldt and Tempo, and live others of the team make op a total of 15/ 27, atrnly wonderful result. Of this sum Nordenied claims £3300, Matchlock £2946, Acme £2937, and Tempo £2455. Mr S. Miller is a very respectable second to Mr White, with £4600 of which sum William Tell is credited witht£l7Bo. The Hon W. Long comes third on the list with fourteen wins, and a total of £35-13, the principal contributor to the list being Maddelina. Mr M. Longhlin is fourth on the list with £3636—the produce of foar wins—Sheet Anchor contributing no less than £2667 of the total. The Hon W. Pearson is on this occasion very far down the list—his total having fallen from £3398 to £550.
