4 Napier -winter says: The owner of Jack Pot the other day at the Wairoa meeting put np 4st. 21bs. dead •weight on his horse when ho lined out for "the Awatere Welter. As might have been expected, Jack Pot got beaten, for his jockey, perched up on the top of a couple of lead bags, two sacl-s, and a canvas cover, was not able to get near his mount to do him -justico. I might say that Jack Pot's owner is n native, a real good sort too, Vho I hope will try to get live weight when next" he starts any of his gee-gees for busings, purposes. Percy Johnston has taken over the reins of government for Mr. G. P. Donnelly. Fleka, Queen's Messenger, a three-year-old chestnut filly by Gold Reef out of Rangipo, and a throe year-

old chestnut gelding by Cold Reef out of a daughter of Lochness and Ada, comprise the pack Johnston will have to start upon. Tho following names have been claimed for the first of Renown'"? progeny:— Courage, for a brown filly, out of Rescue ; Sunny, a bay filly out of Sunbeam ; and Steady, a chestnut filly out of Miss Stead. The last-named youngster is a half sister to Halberdier.
