a head, behind Leisure in the concluc ing event at the Marton meeting tw weeks ago, the Chief Ruler mare wa making her reappearance with the co ours up after a lengthy absence, for sh had not raced since the Wangant spring meeting. She was greatly in proved as a result of her Marton o*utin< When Knollinere was produced f< the seven-furlong Welter Hack at th Marton meeting he was backed wit great confidence, but support for soil] of the other runners caused the Gram court gelding to go out at a line prici He was running away from his oppot ents at the finish o.nd that should ci courage the belief that he will st a over a middle distance. He is u against fairly strong opposition to-daj but it is understood chat he will lj ridden by L. G. Morri?, and that mean a good deal to a horse of his undoubtc class. According to the New Zealand If fereo the names of Jalldy Karo an Cyprus (the brother to Cylinder) ai wrongly spelt. The former stands i the official records as Jaeldy Karo an the latter as Cypress. Regarding daeld Karo it is stated that it is an India word meaning go quickly. The propc way to spell it, according to the owne is Jalldy Karo. In writing out th name for registration it would be poi siblo for the loop on the first “1” t bo smaller than the second, and so 100 like an i( e, n thus making the firs part of the name Jaeldy. Some yeai ago there was a steeplechaser name Eric, by Nassau from Mountain Drean The name was spelt with one “e. ” i accordance with the way in which th owner wrote it when he applied for th name. Subsequently, as the ‘suit of discussion, the owner who claimed th name admitted that he meant to appl for Eerie (meaning weird, or a drea of seeing mountain ghosts), which mad it a very appropriate appelbtion, set ing the mare was descended froi Mountain Drcam. However, it reinair ed Erie, and is so in the Stud 800 to-day.
