The final payments for the 21st Palmerston North Stakes, run at the summer meeting of the Manawatu Jockey Club, are:—Glentruin, Tukia, Oratrix, Reremoana, Royal 'Ceres, Pencils. TURF TOPICS. The re-modelling of the Stewards’ stand at the Opaki racecourse is to be put in'hand in about a. week’s time. Alaric is reported to have changed hands for £IOO at Feilding, and it is understood the new owner ‘is Mi. C. McKay. , Mr 11. Spratt is understood to have disposed of Roman at Feilding for a nominal consideration. In future Roman might 'be trained, in the Manawatu. '.i < ; Nuktvmai ran a great race in .the hur-‘ dies at Feilding on Tuesday. He lumped 12st 111 b through very sticky going, ■and approaching the straight it looked as if ho would win. But in the run home from the last fence he found it quite impossible to concede Gauntlet 441 b and beat him.

A meeting of the Stewards’’ Committee of the Masterton Racing Club was held last night, Mr C. F. Vallanee presiding. The Department of Internal Affairs wrote stating that the Club’s application for a refund of 1:1 per cent, on the totalisator proceeds at the spring meeting was receiving attention. The treasurer reported that the club’s debit balance had been reduced to £167. Accounts to be met amounted to £146, but as an offset to this a rebate, of £230 was expected in a few days. The Ground Committee reported that apart from wet: weather, excellent progress was being made with the course improvements. It was decided to call tenders for the grazing riglits of the racecourse for twelve months.
