The annual meeting of the Ohinemuri Jockey Club will be held at Paeroa on Saturday and Monday next. Acceptances for the first day will close at 8 o’clock this evening with the secretary (Mr H. Poland) at Paeroa, or with. Messrs, Blomfleld and Co., Auckland. Rapier is to contest the Thompson Handicap and the Trentham Gold Cup at the coming meeting of the Wellington Club. The Greyspear gelding is reported to have improved a good deal as the result of the racing he has had recently.; The world’s .mile trotting record 1.563, made by Peter Manning, has now stood for \eight years, and the j pacing record of->l.'s6f for fifteen years. “Would you call that progress?” asks a writer in the Chicago Horse Review. Mister Gamp reads well placed with 9.12 in the high-weight, handicap with which the programme will be introduced at the Wellington Club’s meeting on Saturday, for which he is sure lo be sent out in the role of favourite. The Bronzetti —Brolly chestnut, who was prominent in the big jumping, events of the winter, has had several races on the flat of recent weeks and his condition is well advanced. Royal Duke, who won the sprint event each day at the Napier Park meeting, is engaged in the Railway Handicap at Trentham on Saturday. The Tea Tray—Per sis gelding will find the task ahead much more difficult Jhan on the occasion of his twp latest outings, but he is a useful sort and is in at a handy weight so it looks like this member of H. B. Lorigan’s team being troublesome at his next start. Thurlstone, the winner of the Vic--torian Racing Club’s Sires’ Produce Stakes and Ascot Vale Stakes last week, has a pedigree interesting to New Zealanders. He was got by Thrice from Divonia, by Comedy King —Livonia, by Stepniak—Glorvina, by Apremont, Thrice was got by The Welkin from Teppo, by Ladas —Bum Dum, by Carbine. Paganelli was taken south last night by his trainer, M. J. Carroll and is to be raced at the coming meeting of the Wellington Club at Trentham. The Lord Quex gelding was in excellent order when he left Frankton and provided the track is suitable .on Saturday, should go a great race. It is probable that Hector Gary will ride Paganelli. The latter will be raced at Awapuni before he returns to local headquarters. Mr W. G. Stead, of Hastings, has leased to trainer A. D. Webster three yearlings. They are chestnut gelding bv Lord Quex —Painted Screen, chestnut filly by Lord Quex —Diaphragm and bay gelding by Leighton—Golden Shoe. The two Lord Quex youngsters are both from Leighton fillies and are first foals. Glena Bay won the highweight handicap at the Franklin meeting as if he had something in reserve at the close of Saturday’s mile and five furlong trip. The -Romeo —Martigues gelding has been acquitting himself well this season. He was accepted for in the highweight event at Trentham on Saturday, but bis ownertrainer, M. J. Carroll, decided not to take him - south. Star Stranger was never dangerous in the Napier Cup but the Martian gelding ran a greatly improved race on Saturday, when lie was narrowly beaten into third place in the Prince of Wales’ Handicap, after meeting with some trouble over the concluding stages of that race. Star Stranger is engaged in the Thompson Handicap at Trentham on Saturday in which he. is very handily placed with S-10. On his latest bowing Star Stranger will require some consideration in flic big mile at Trentham on Saturday, but iie will probably And the distance too shorL

Christchurch Press reports that T. 11. Gillctt will attend the Wellington meeting with Count Cavour and Leader. The former will only have one race, the Trentham Gold Cup, in which he will be ridden by T. Green. The Viscount was to have accompanied Ihis pair, but recently received an injury to his shoulder, through colliding with another horse on 11 1 e track, and will noL be fit enough to make the trip. Eaglet, who raced with a marked measure of success in the spring, but who trained off later on, is coming rapidly hade lo form. The Chief Ruler —Novelet filly disposed of Ihe sprinters in good stylo at Pukokohc on Saturday in Ihc Tuakau Flying Handicap. Eaglet is to form one of ,T. T. Jamieson’s loam for racing at Trentham. She is an acceptor for the Thompson Handicap and the Challenge Slakes on Saturday and in whichever event she is produced is likely to give a good account of herself. When th,e local trainer, M. J. Carroll, left for the south last evening, he took Wenday from A. P- Brady’s team. The Day Comet Wenonah mare is to contest highweight events at the Welington meeting. Wenday s latest start was at the Franklin meeting where she was out of a place on Saturdav in the Puni Ilighweight. She had 10.11 on that occasion, while she will carry 10.4 in her start at Trentham on Saturday. Taneriri, who is an acceptor for the Thompson Handicap at Trentham. on Saturday, was railed south last night by the second express, which he joined at Frankton. The Antagonist • Country Picnic gelding has been racing well lately and he promises to pay expenses on the southern trip.AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB AUTUMN MEETING. WEIGHTS FOR LEADING EVENTS.
