Leitrim is being schooled at every opportunity, and improves with each effort. If he is started in the hurdle race at Te Rapa on -Saturday '• week his schooling and speed should stand him in good stead and make him a force to be considered. Manawhenua looks one of the bestprospects at Ellerslie for winter lacing, and-if he maintains his present progress ho should bo a very profitable horse for H. Rama in the next few months.

Make Up, whose recent performances have focused the limelight on him as a Great Northern Hurdle and Steeplechase candidate, is bred to stay any distance- A six-year-old, he is by Surveyor from Rosenur, by Bilbol Roseland, by Finland—Rosie, by Hillstone —Rosalind, bv Albany —Red Rose, by Traducei--Moss Rose. He belongs 10 one of the oldest families in the New Zealand Stud Book. He traces to Rosebud, who was foaled in 1850, and produced by a mare brought from Austra]it without a pedigree. The most distinguished members of the family include Black Rose, who won the New Zealand Derby in ISB4-, the NeAV Zealand Cup winner Sinapis, and Medallist, the winner of the Grand National Hurdles of 1004. The St. Clair gelding Blazer, who was one of the best sprinters of his day, and one of the best ever bred in New Zealand, belongs to tho same tribe, which also produced many more than useful performers. Havaspot proved nearly useless in heavy going in New Zealand. At Canterbury Park (Sydney), on Saturday, it was a day of steady rain. Havaspot had 10.2 to carry, and drew an outside berth at the barrie, an important factor on this small turning course. Yet he Avon well, apparently to the surprise of his connections. Canterbury Park, like most Sydney courses, has a sandy formation, and a Avet track does not involve real mud going. Riotous, the winner of the maiden event at the Manawatu meeting, is a three-year-old gelding by the Birkenhead horse, Birkdale, from Cross Word, by All Black from Wordy Warfare, by Camp Fire from Palaver, an Apremont mare, avlio Avon the Great Autumn Handicap for Mr E. J. Watt. Riotous had been placed on four occasions recently, and he may be expected to Avin in more seleet company.
