Australian liles contain further references to the wonderful recovery to health and winning form which followed on the application of violet-ray treatment to His Majesty’s Hurry On filly Scuttle, winner of the One Thousand Guineas Race. The story of her recovery is an illustration of how the most modern science is used even in Britain's national sport. During the winter it was found that Scuttle was not doing well. What food she ate seemed to do her no good, and, notwithstanding the greatest care and attention by her trainer, W. Jarvis, her condition became worse. It was then decided, after consultation, to try the effect of ultra-violet- rays on her, and it was arranged that she should spend three weeks under the personal .supervision of a well-known veterinary surgeon, Mr Pryde Jones, who had made a close study of the treatment and its immense possibilities. The treatment worked a miracle. According to Mr Pryde Jones, Scuttle was actually suffering from debility when she came under his charge, but almost immediately there was a reaction. She began to eat and enjoy her food. What is more, she at once regained lost muscle, and when the three weeks’ treatment had ended, she was not only the old Scuttle, but undoubtedly an improved one. The delightful sequel was her Guineas success, following on a first-class win early in the Hat racing season.

Throe notable absentees from the nominations for tlie Melbourne Cup are Trivalve, Silvios and Son o’ Mine, who filled the places last year. Each of them will be at the stud next spring, though Trivalve and Son o’ Mine may be trained again in the autumn.

The ex-Victorian jockey, B. Carslake, who has been riding in England many years, and had some exciting experiences in reaching that country from the Continent on the outbreak of the war, has announced that he will not do any riding after this year. He will apply for a trainer’s license. Carslake, who made this announcement at a dinner given by 11. Wragg to celebrate his Derby win on Bedstead, rode Famous when he won the Doncaster Handicap at Bandwick in 1905. lie has been troubled to keep his weight down for several years, but has retained his riding form wonderfully well. His big vear-old wins in England were on Salmon Trout in the St. Leger; Tetratenia in the Two Thousand; and Silver Urn and Ferry in the One Thousand. He also had minor placings in those races, while the nearest he got to a Derby was on the Aga Khan’s Zionist, who ran second to Manna in 1925. Experience in many countries has given Carslake a wide outlook, and, as he is a pleasant personality, he will have no difficulty in finding patrons when he starts as a trainer.
