T. Lloyd, the well-known trainer, now that the team of his patron, Mr R- A. McKenzie has been reduced, is setting up as a public trainer at Woodville.

The coming two-year-old half-brother by Lord Quex to Kick Off and Bennance is shortly to be put into work at Hastings, but under whose charge has not been determined-

F. C. Porter, who has been in the Auckland Hospital ever since his fall with Count Cavour at the Auckland Cup meeting, was a spectator at the Trentham fixture.

Royal Acre, who had to be content with second berth at Rangitikei, is by Aero out of a Euroclydon mare, the latter being a sister to Hautcre, a firstclass steeplechaser of a few years back. It is intended to put Royal Acre to the jumping game. x

Betty Zane, who until recently received her education under the mentorship of the Ellerslie mentor, S. Tooman, is now located at Avondale in the establishment of W. Kirk. The. QuinSpalpecn mare had her initial start at Franklin, but never appeared to be a possibility.

Gothic was not entered for the Rawson Stakes won by Limerick on Saturday, nor is he engaged in the Chipping Norton Stakes at Warwick Farm next Saturday, which will be Limerick’s next race in Sydney.

As a two-year-old Aropeta was a very nice colt, and raced well enough in his early efforts at that age to suggest a useful career, but his later efforts were poor. During tho last few weeks Aropeta has won twice in moderate company, but he will never rise to great heights.

Cartoon has rejoined the active list in the south follow, ig a spell.

An Adjudge gelding, Decision, is probably the biggest horse in training, comments a southern writer. He stands 17.3.

Trainer T. F- Quinlivan was a spectator at Bulls last Thursday, and stated that Trcsham was a certain runner in the coming Great Easter and Autumn Handicaps to be decided at Riccarton at Easter.
