THE ANTIQUE CASE,

WELLINGTON, This Day,

Mr- A. P. Wilson, chief stipendiary steward to the New Zealand Racing Conference, has, under Rule 57 of the Rules of Racing, notified the executive committee of the Conference that in liis opinion the decision of the Auckland District Committee in upholding the appeal of ]I. Gray in the Antique case is unsatisfactory. If the executive committee is satisfied the case merits further inquiry it may now direct that Mr Wilson’s notification be referred to the appeal Judges appointed by the president and be dealt with as nil appeal from a decision of the district committee. —(F.A.) TURF NOTES. Mr W. E. Kemball’s two-year-old colt Cape Royal (Cape Horn—Princess Pat) a promising half-brother to Lady Pam,’ was destroyed at Melbourne on Saturday. Cape Royal started on Saturday at Caulfield, and was made favourite, but finished out of a place. He won a good race earlier on the trip, and furnished his party with a handsome return, but including Saturday’s failure he had let them down twice since. However, his lapse from form was no doubt only of a temporary nature, and his death will be a severe blow to Mr Kemball. Without doubt he was easily the best of the Cape Horns to date, and his future career was most promising. It can truthfully be said that he was the best niarcen prospect that had left Trentham for a long time.

The Magpie gelding Corinax is making good progress at Ellerslie, and is gradually getting into racing shape again. He was given a work-out over six furlongs on the No. 2 grass track

on Tuesday, and got through his task in a pleasing manner, Coriuax is one Of the robust sort that requires plenty of hard work, and it may be someweeks yet before Ho is back to solid racing condition. At his best Coriuax is a first-class handicap performer, and though getting on in years he should still be capable of winning races ovar middle distances.

Jaloux, Azalia, Great Star and Fast Passage, who were nominated for Auckland, have also been nominated for minor events at Riccarton at Easter.

Present indications, based on the acceptances and nominations for the Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting, are that Black Duke, Red Sea and Rod Racer will do their Easter racing at Rieeartou in preference to Riverton.

The well-known southern trainer, W. Stone, purchased the tliree-year-old chestnut filly, Alpinist, by fiainscourt, from Mountain Lass, at a figure in the vicinity of 50 guineas. Alpinist, carrying Stone’s colours, won the Tahoraito Hack Handicap, of 50 sovs., on the first dav at Dannevirke this week, and ran second the next day. Stone lias not definitely decided where he will establish his headquarters, but in the meantime has taken a couple of boxes at Awapuni, and hopes' soon to get another team together.

The Great Easter Handicap has attracted twenty-two acceptors, Cimabue, Chrysology, Solmar, Ivorokio, Moa Bird, Esteem, Fair Weather and Azalia being the only defections. Those left in make up a strong field, and the race has a very open appearance. Last year there were 21 acceptors.

G. Nicol, a jockey who has achieved considerable success in South Africa, will ride in England this ycai under engagement to Reg. Day’s Terraco House stable. In South Africa last season, Nicol had 310 mounts for 47 wins, 44 seconds and 38 thirds.

The Romeo-Air Queen two-year-old Air Lassie is doing plenty of sen iceable work at Ellerslie, and is building up very solidly in condition. She has never been severely tested, but on the few occasions that she lias sprinted over a few furlongs, has displayed abundance of speed. On Tuesday morning, on the No. 2 grass track, Air Lassie reeled off three furlongs in 37 2-ssec an encouraging effort considering tlie small amount of experience she has had.

The Canterbury Jockey Club announced on Saturday several alterations to the list of entries and acceptances for the Easter meeting. Merry Peel is an addition to the Papanui Handicap, Coroner is deleted from the Challenge Stakes, and Santoft from both the Challenge and Champagne Stakes.

Monarchy, who won two mile races at the recent Napier Park meeting, has proved himself a good sort this season, being out of the money only twice m nine starts. He finished second in the Trial Handicap, six furlongs, at Napier Park in the spring, and won the Novice Stakes at Waipawa. He was runner-up in mile races on two occasions at Poverty Bay, and won the Hastings Handicap", six furlongs and a half, at Hawke’s Bay. Monarchy is a three-year-old colt"by Chief Ruler from Bonny Briar, and is a brother to Briar Root. He is engaged at the Auckland autumn meeting.

In the Dunedin Cup, one mile and a half, there was not much to choose at the finish between Balek Duke 8.0 and Red Sea 8.2, while on the second da.v, in the Jockey Club Handicap, one mile and a quarter, Red Sea 8.6 beat Black Duke 8.4 by more than two lengths. In the Great Autumn Handicap, one mile and a quarter, Black Duke has 8.9, and Red Sea, 8.2. In the Riverton. Cup, lb miles, there is a different set of figures, Red Sea having 9.2, and Black Duke S.lO.
