While in Auckland Mr. Albert Jackson secured a nice yearling colt by Wairaki—Wild Rose. He is one of tho finest colt seen hefre for a long time, and if looks go for anything should turn one a bit above the ordinary. The same, owiwr also brought back with iiim the gelding Coromandel, a wellknown sprinter up Auckland way. It is by no means improbable that F. Wootton is now nearly, if not quite, at vlie head of the winning jockeys', list in England. Up to May 5 his total was '23 -wins against the 27 of D. .vfahcr anr! 24 of C. Trigg, who wore above.him in the. list. At "Manchester on Friday last Wootton rode four winners, one being the Manchester Cup winner Marajax, who is trained by AVoottou senior for Mr. E. Hultoii. When the mail left, Huxley, Ringstead, ana Fox, with 12 wins each, were a tie for third place ; -but the former had •■•• better a. I vantage than either of the other two lads. The best average in r,he whole lisi, however, was that of R % Mosan with nine -wins out of 42 na?s. His percentage worked out at 2 .42 as against the 21.09 of MaJier. In view of the fact of Los Angelos being among the* nominations for the Epsom and Metropolitan, the following reference to him in. t!ie Auckland '•S* and IX News'! will be of interest: "The most likely hov.se at Riccarton to show up in the jmxt New Zealand Cup i« (.os Angelos, whose owner or owners wouki very much like to put up a record for the raeo from a weightcarrying point of view. ' The weight will not stop this son of San Francisco, but tlitr two-mile journey under 9.7 might." Jfc is pretty safe to bet that the owner of Los Angelos will not appreciate tho suggestion to his New Zealand Cup weight. Referring to King George's attend:*.nco at Newmarket for the opening of tho Second Spring Meeting on May 0, "Sporting Life" says:—"Kingmade his jirst appearance on a racecourse since the death of King Edward yesterday; when he attended Newmarket for the opening day of the Second Spring Meeting, and was met by a brilliant attendance of members of society. T| K » Kind's visit has afforded Newmarket an opportunity to voice its loyalty. On Monday night his Majesty got a very .loyal and-'hearty reception when lie drove up to Palace House to ;M;o with Mr. Lo-pold do RothschiH. 'Hio street in wljich the historic residence, once tenanted'by King Charles 11.. is'situated is a narrow one, but this did not prevent quite a thousand l eoplo congregating in it to cheer His Majesty, who acknowledged the ovation by standing j» U, o porch'and bowing lwpentc-dlv. The 'weather, was gloriously fine when his Majesty, who "was accompanied by hi s two Equerries, Commander Sir Charles Cusfc and Major \vip;iam. motored to the cou:\se, aniv:no; at a quarter-past one. He was received on arrivii] hv ihn three stewards f.f the Jockov Club. Lord Derby. Lord * illiers. and the. Hon. F. W." Lambton.
