Peter Jackson, by Nigger Minstrel from Left, stumbled while working on the Wanganui track last week and had to be destroyed. He was held on lease by L. G. Paul. Peter Jackson, who was a* brother to Gaine Carrington, was a good performer two or three years ago, his most notable achievements being wins in the North Island and New Zealand St. Legers. Taken to Australia by his owners, Messrs. Smith Bros., he won the Moonee Valley Gold Cup, and ran fourth in the Melbourne Cup. Mr Paul has bepn most unfortunate with his horses in recent years, as this makes the third he has lost as, a result of broken legs.

F. Davis, the Woodville trainer, intends taking a large" team to Wanganui for the meeting next month. It is his intention to transfer his horses to Wanganui a couple of weeks before .. tlio meeting in order to put the finishing touches on, as the tracks are in such splendid order. Included in Davis’s team are five,Wanganui Guineas, candidates, but it is probable only three of these will start in the classic. One will most likely be Black Friar, the colt owned by Mrs M. S. Curie, of Wanganui,. and Karl is another that is regarded as 1 a sure runner. The other three are Mr T. 11. Lowry’s Birthday Party, Mr W. 11. Gaisford’s Mandamus, and the Arausio —Penelope colt owned by Davis himself. The Woodville trainer says his juveniles do not appear to be so forward as other two-year-olds. Two youngsters of district promise which he has under his care are Mr G. M. Currie’s Posterity —Eulogy filly, Relative, who was reared on a bottle when her mother died at foaling, and the other is a colt by Chief Ruler —Tame Duck, named F’-ancis Drake. The latter youngster is a very fine stamp of colt of great promise.
