LABOUR DAY PROGRAMME.

WAIKATO HUNT RACES AT CAMBRIDGE. KEEN CONTEST FOR MAIN STEEPLECHASE HONOURS. THE FIELDS IN MONDAY’S EVENTS REVIEWED. (By “ Martian.") On Monday (Labour Day) the annual raoo programme of the Waikato Hunt will be held at Cambridge. This Is a most popular fixture, and, given fine weather, the holiday patronage for the oomlng oocaslon again promises to be large. Useful fields are engaged, and the quality of the racing will be of a good standard. Chief Interest will oentro In the Waikato Hunt Cup Steeplechase (three miles), while leading events on the flat will bo the Members' Memorial Handicap (one mile and aquarter) and the Bollard Memorial Handicap (six and a-half fi/rlongs).

11.50 / MAIDEN HUNTERS’ STEEPLES r Of £100; about 2J miles.

4.25 LADIES’ BRACELET HANDICAP. Of £100; li miles.

Taha, who is also in the main event, is a good jumper. Lenaubin has reached a place over the Ellerslie circuit. Dark Night, A 1 Borak and Luclllus have had a good deal of experience in the hunting field, while Just Nell and Platina have -shown some promise in their schooling. In the absence of Taha, PLATINA, JUST NELL and DARK NIGHT may be selected.

12.35 BARDOWIE HANDICAP Of £100; 6i fur.

The top-weight Hit the Deck raced well on the second day of the Dargaville imeeting. Teels, King’s Archer, Toujours, Instalment, Searcher, Star Lap and Rekaraurau showed up during their racing last season, while Klngsway, Little Leslie, Ruby Meteor, Ferry Light, Illuminagh, Illuminelli and Sports’ King are among the likely Improvers. The public may select HIT THE DECK, KING’S ARCHER and INSTALMENT. 1.25

This Held is very disappointing. If 'started PENNYPLAIN will he at a short price. 2.10 MEMBERS’ MEMORIAL HANDICAP. Of £200; U mJles.

While the Held in the leading event on the flat is not large, the grade is even and a good race is promised. Sir Monel, Cruachan, Plying • Prince and Protomint have been In the money on the flat this season. .Nassock has scored over hurdles, an education that Is likely to have made him more solid. Prince of Orange, at his best, would also have a chance, while First Lap and Llmeen are possibilities. The wagering may favour SIR MOND, FLYING PRINCE and CRUACHAN. 2.56

A good Held has been attracted v to the chief event over country. St. < Warrigal, who won last year, is a speedy fencer and should go well. Nukutere has proved very successful in the department of late, being a fine fencer, as also Is Billy Boy. Te Homai and King’s Counsel will also come into calculations. Day Lark Is quite a possibility. Kamehameha Is not reliable, while Master Arch, a good Jumper, may lack the neoessary pace. Scaramouche, Platlna and Taha appear the most likely of the lightweights. In a keen investing race the best supported may be ST. WARRIGAL, TE HOMAI and KING’S COUNSEL. 3.40 BRUNTWOOD HACK HANDICAP. Of £100; GJ fur.

There is a useful field engaged • here and the race bears a very open aspect. Valueless has been racing into form and must, be respected. While L' Allegro. Steady Fire, Persham. Rose Lupin and' King Win will lie considered, they may lie all ( ttie better for a race, but Princess Bede llollv Holpi and Hit the Deck have’been‘in action recently. Holly Holm is an unlikely starter. Of the lighter weights Te Taonc, T.aptown, searcher and Rekaranrau, read best. Investors may give chief attention to VA < '-c-'y PRINCESS BEDE and rose lupin.

The chief measure of wagering In this race mav be extended chiefly to RUBY DAWN, VALSIMON and NASSONE. 5.10

bollard memorial handicap. Of £150; G£ fur.

The sprint race should provide one of the best finishes of the day. Paganelli Is class, but has had only one race this season. Tradesman had a win and a second at. Avondale at 'the week-end. Lucky Alice is speedy, but may find it difficult to give weight to Chromadyne, Volimond and Baroscope. Royal Ruler, Valuation, Rose Lupin and Werata will each have some support, i The best favoured may include TRADESMAN, VOLIMOND and BAROSCOPE.

INVESTMENT UNIT. 5s TOTALISATOR AT CAMBRIDGE. A 5s unit of Investment will be available to patrons of the Waikato Hunt meeting at Cambridge on Monday. GOSSIP FROM ALL PARTS

WAIKATO HUNT MEETING. NOTES ON THE CANDIDATES. The annual race meeting of the Waikato Hunt will be held at Cambridge on Monday. At Trentham on Monday, the Spring programme of the Wellington Club will he concluded. The programmes of the Waipawa, Waverley, Gore and North Canterbury Clubs will be held on Monday. Tea 'Traders only race at the Wellington meeting will be in the Wellesley Stakes. Platlna, who is In steeplechase events at Cambridge, Is a mare by Callaghan —lsabel, and Is owned In the south by Mr W. W. Duncan. She Is reported to be a good jumper. Ramo has been working well on the Riccarton tracks. The Solferino— Tutana gelding promises to give a good account of himself in his engagement at the North Canterbury meeting on Labour Day.

Mr F. Wood, of Gordonton, the owner of Mangani and Steady Fire lias leased these horses to Messrs. W. Barr (To Rapa), and A. Jackson (Frankton) respectively for the current season.

Lenaubin should prove equal to a reasonable display in the minor event over country at Cambridge. Tills aged gelding by El Carbine lias started on a few occasions over I tie Ellerslio circuit. At the Pakuranga meeting in August lie was in second place to St. Lucas in the Greenmount Hunters’ Steeplechase.

Lady March (Lucullus —March) who is owned by Mr G. Carolan at Waharoa, has foaled a colt to Spear Dance. Mr Carolan had the misfortune to lose at birth a Ally by Spear Dance from Sports’ Queen, the dam of Prince Val.

T. Metcalf, the light-weight jockey, who was riding at the recent meetings at Avondale and Ellerslie, Is contemplating changing his head-quarters from Palmerston North to Riccarton shortly. He served his time In an English stable, but he resided in Southland and Olago for several years.

Valuation, an acceptor for the sprint race at Cambridge, has been off the scene for some time. The Valkyrinn gelding lias got through a good deal of work at To Rapa under A. Tinker’s charge. He Is a speedy galloper, but a race will improve him a great deal.

A 1 Borak, an acceptor in the minor cross-country event at Cambridge, is an aged gelding by Nassau—Spalma. He lias had a useful measure of schooling in the hunting Held ibis season. At the annual point-to-point at Haulapu last month At Borate finished very strongly into second place in the light-weight steeplechase.

Baroscope lias had some racing tills ■season and will lie in good order to undertake his engagement in the. Bollard Memorial Handicap at Cambridge. The Weathcrvanc —Torlrix three-year-old coil, with 7.0, would only require to strike out to tils maximum ability to give the opposition serious trouble.

Volimond has had some racing this season and the Te Arolia owned and trained galloper Is not far from her best. She is to contest the ■sprint race at Cambridge on Monday In which the Llmond—Tivoli mare Is likely to have a solid following.

Llmeen had a favourable performance to her credit this season when she finished fourth in the Avondale Guineas. The Limond — Molleen Oge Ally was running on at the end of the mile. She has worked well at Te Awamutu In the Interval ■and Is likely to find some support for the leading event, over ten furlongs, at the Waikato Hunt meeting.

■Billy Boy was despatched from Ellerslie early In the week to undertake schooling over the country at Cambridge, where he Is engaged in the main steeplechase on Monday. The Archiestown gelding Is a good jumper who Is well advanced In condition. Barring accidents he should give a favourable account of himself In the race ahead.

In England last month P. Robinson, of Nottingham, gave the jockey, F. Fox, a brooch, set in diamonds, made from the nails Cameronian carried in his plates in the Derby. Robinson plated the horse for the Derhy, and that Is how the nails came into his possession. A good companion brooch would have been one made from the nails of the plates Gameronian wore when he finished absolutely last in the St. Leger.

“Sentinel" of the Otago Daily Times writes:—The so-called accidents continue to happen with unpleasant frequency in racing, and the fact seems to call for a much more searching investigation than has been undertaken In the past. There is not much doubt that many cases of falls and interference can be traced to the crouch seat. At least a strong claim ■can be advanced in that direction, as far more trouble has occurred since its introduction than prior to its appearance on a racecourse.

Kamehameha, because of persistent baulking, had lost all caste with the public as a steeplechase proposition. The Demosthenes gelding has discharged his jumping duty much more conscientiously of recent months, however, having reached the winning list ■and also succeeded in gathering place money. If he takes it into his head to go generously at Cambridge, he will keep the opposition busy in the principal event over the country there on Monday. The uncertainty whether he will do the right thing is likely to once again see Kamehameha go out sparsely supported.

Ruby Dawn and Ruby Meteor will be members of J. F. Tutchen’s local ■stable for racing at the Waikato Hunt meeting. Both are by Day Comet—Ruby. Ruby Meteor is in the Bardowie Handicap, while Ruby Dawn figures In the Ladles’ Bracelet Handicap. The latter would only require to reproduce her form at the Pakuranga meeting, where she was third In the Bracelet, after leading for most of the trip, to prove capable of a prominent effort on Monday.

Cruachan was started on 'two occasions at the Avondale meeting last month. The King Mark—Strega gelding was narrowly beaten into third place at ills opening appearance, while lie was handy ’to the placed horses at his next start. While not quite so prominent lie again ran reasonably well at the Auckland meeting. Cruachan has done ’satisfactorily in his latest work at Te Rapa. * This member of R. 'Syrne's team will line up in good order for the Members’ Memorial Handicap at Cambridge ■in which he is likely to prove one of the challengers when the final stages of the mile and a quarter are being undertaken.

Flying Prince would only require to reproduce his Avondale form, on the occasion of the Dargavllle meeting, to prove a serious challenger to the best of the opposition in the Members’ Handicap at Cambridge. The Flying King—Vanga horse won the Hobson Handicap, of one mile, with 8.4 and was second to Little Doubt in the President’s Handicap, of one mile and a quarter, with 7.4. The member of A. Tinker’s stable has gone 'on the right way in the interval.

The best way for starting horses ■at the barrier has exercised the minds of racing men and officials for many years, but a wholly satisfactory system has not yet been devised. Mr Gordon M. Hunter, of Nelson, however, has recently protected a system which lias promise, states the Nelson Mail. Mr Hunter’s starting barrier consists of a rubber band i stretched across the course and released by a trigger. The rubber attached at both ends to an upright standard, is stretched across the course from the outside rail to the Inside rail, where the releasing clip is placed. Mr Hunter ts sure from ids experiments that it will not he possible for a liors'e to become tangled in the j rubber as it flashes aoross the course.

Veteran owner-trainer J. Lowe produced the Australian-bred Moab Queen at the recent meeting of the Masterion Racing Club. She failed to gain place money, but ran well enough to suggest her winning a race soon providing the company is not strong.

■Paganelll’s only start of the present season was In the Flying Stakes at the Avondale meeting. While the heavy going was not to his favour, Paganelli ran quite a fair race. The Lord Quex —Ringdove gelding, who Is to contest the Bollard Memorial Handicap at Cambridge on Monday, has done nicely in his work at Te Rapa of recent times. If he gets a dry track for the race ahead, Paganelli will be suited by the galloping conditions.

The veteran Sydney writer, “Pilot," •commenting upon the defeat of Concentrate in the A.J.'C, Metropolitan Handicap, said:—"No beaten jockey ever gave entire satisfaction, but if Morris' experience of Randwick had been greater he would probably have landed Concentrate a winner. As it was the bay gelding arrived just too late. Ido not suggest Morris rode a bad race, but almost any jockey is at a disadvantage In a big field on a course to which he is unaccustomed. It is the same In Melbourne with some of Sydney’s riders."

Taha, who has 11.12 In the minor cross-country event and 9.0 in the main .steeplechase at the Waikato Hunt meeting, is owned by Mr Geo. Peake, of Cambridge, who has hunted his charge a lot this season. In winning the open point-to-point race at Hautapu last month, Taha put in a pronounced run over the final stages of the two miles and a half. He later went on to Rotorua to register success in a similar event. Taha was second in the Maiden Steeplechase at Cambridge two seasons back. The General Latour gelding is an improved horse by this and will warrant some attention in his engagements ahead.

On behalf of the Emperor of Japan ■three brood mares were recently purchased in America, and it is estimated by the time they reach the Royal Stud Farm, about 50 miles from Tokyo, their cost will total nearly £IO,OOO.

Dark Night was a double winner at the point-to-point fixture at Hautapu last month when she scored in the lightweight steeplechase and also In the cross-country event for lady riders. Dark Night, who was raced 'by Mr R. Townsend, of Eureka, at the meetings referred to, fenced very cleanly and showed more than average speed. The Archiestown —Opal mare is in the minor steeplechase and the Ladles’ Bracelet Handicap at Cambridge on Monday and must have some prospect in both events.

King’s Counsel has come North .from Awapuni to contest the Waikato Hunt Cup Steeplechase. The Demosthenes—Queen Kora gelding, with 10.10 is In sufficiently well to have an excellent chance. At this month’s meeting of the Auckland Club, King’s Counsel was successful In the Onehunga Steeplechase In which he defeated Billy Boy, from whom he was In receipt of 191 b, by six lengths. The margin on Monday between the pair will be Gib. His usual pilot, A. Jenkins, will ride King’s Counsel on Monday.

Just Nell was a speedy galloper on the flat, although her racing failed to reap much success, chiefly for tiie reason that she did not battle out tho business end of her journeys with the required determination. The Nassau—Flying Nell mare, who has been away from racing for a time, is listed for the minor steeplechase at Cambridge. Just Nell has been schooling with a marked measure of dash at Te Awamutu and is going to find some support at her coming start as a jumper. She will be ridden by Mr F. Baker, of Cambridge, who has gained many successes in the saddle in the ranks of the amateurs and also against the professionals.

Experiments are always Interesting, and even if they lead to failure they at least show the wisdom of avoiding the same methods In the future says a Dunedin writer. The Dunedin Spring meeting has generally been costly to the club, and for that reason the experiment of running two separate programmes was tried. The result could not be deemed to have Justified the change. It Is generally rocognlscd that tho so-called classic events arc risky races from a financial point of view, because if tliero is anything outstanding at the moment it tends to reduce tiie opposition, and results in poor fields and a lack of business on the lotalisator. Tiie McLean Slakes and Dunedin Guineas have been at times costly to Die club, and hence it was more than a risky move to place them both on the same card. in previous years a candidate for tiie Dunedin Guineas has helped to ill! a field on tiie first day, and a youngster that missed in the McLean Stakes or was not engaged

had a chance on flic second day. These opportunities were cut out when a division of the SDi’imr dates was made.

Lucllius, who is an acceptor for the Maiden Steeplechase at Cambridge, had some racing over hurdles and big country prior to taking up his headquarters in the Waikato. The Lucullus gelding was formerly trained by J. H. Dufty at Thames. Lucllius has been in the hunting field a good deal this season. 'He fences very well as a rule and would only need to show his best to trouble the opposition in the engagement ahead.

What mighty cheering there would havg been at Caulfield last Saturday had Prince Dayton finished first instead of second. Not because of the horse, nor his owner, nor his trainer, worthy as they may be, but for the reason that Bob Lewis was his rider. It is the custom nowadays to speak of Phar Lap’s rider, J. E. Pike, as a veteran. Pike was born in 1892 but, Avithout exaggeration, he was an infant in arms round about the time Bob Lewis rode his first winner. Some years ago it was worked out that Lewis had ridden nearly one hundred winners at the V.R.C. Spring meeting alone. The riding record of the famous Tom Hales in the Victorian Derby—seven wins—once seemed destined to stand for all time, but Lewis has ridden eight winners of that classic, seven winners of the South Australian Derby and four winners of the A.J.C. Derby, while a quarter of a century ago he took a Christmas trip to Perth and won the West Australian T.C. Derby on Benbow. Among the other scalps in the belt of Lewis are nine winners of the V.R.C. Ascot Vale Stakes, eight of the V.R.C. St. Leger (Hales rode ten) and seven winners of the V.R.C. Oaks, Lewis has won the Melbourne Cup on The Victory, Patrobus, Artilleryman and Trivalve. He is over fifty-one years of age.
