February l i, at **» p.m., with blomJlcld and Company, Auckland, and at o p.m. with the secretary (Mr w J. Short). Box 47, Pukekolie. Can He Do It Again? Peru won *u well at Matamata that he again this week. He Is on the minimum in :h<- Rotorua Cup and will be assured oT a strong following. Forest Acre Forest Acre shaped meritoriously In the Matamata Cup last week and slight improvem -:»t w »uld give tills member or Cannon; - string prospects in the Rotorua Cup on Saturday. Since Matamata be lias been working along plraslnglv and it will not be on the .-core or condition ir lie Tails to give or hi© best. Ajax For Sale Ajax will be olTcred for sale next month during Newmarket and Australian Cup week it is anticipated American breeders will bid lor Ajax. Elevated Iceland Spar evidently thrives on racing, as he won at Trentham after two hard races under high-weight conditions earlier at the meeting, and his success over Omapo on Saturday was full or merit. Iceland Spar I© now out of hack class and may now find it difficult to carry oil his good work Tor Mr IL S. Williams. Mies Bridge Miss Bridge, who rought out an exciting flnl-h with Karatokl at Mataman, appears among the acceptors for the Pohutu Highwelght at Arawa Park this week, and on ■that showing at Matamata over nine Turlongs she would appear to have definite claim** to consideration in engagements this week-end. Fine Record Native Song must rank as one of the champions or the East Coast, and another couple or races went to his credit at the recent Wairoa meeting. This season this gelding has won no fewer than -seven of his 13 starts, and all or the successes have been secured on the coast. Native Chler, who also carries the colours of Mr E. Fitzgerald, 1-s another smart performer round tne smaller meetings. Bronze Ora bronze Ora has been racing consistently of late and should not lack support in pending engagements at Rotorua, where on the first day he Is to contest the Mokola Hack. He ~ won well at Thames, and though beaten out of a place the first day at Auckland was not far behind the placed division at the end. Since then he has been hitting out attractively at Ellerslie. Serious Breakdown Settlement pulled up so lame a furlong from home In the Midsummer Handicap at Hiccarton that it was thought he had suffered a broken leg. but it was found that he had a serious breakdown. He was iater led home to his stable, and it will probably be some time before lie will be seen in public again. At the time of the mishap. Settlement was going unusually well and looked like being the first to challenge Gay Parade. Gladynev Gladynev, who was purchased at the recent National Sales by the Bulls trainer, A. E. Neale, Is to carry the colours of the Wellington -sportswoman. Mrs S. Levin, who recently raced Pahu, Lustra], and others. No definite plans have been laid out for Gladynev at the moment, but he is in light work and in all probability he will be given a special preparation for one <»r the metropolitan handicaps later in the seasou. Waikato Trip The Opaki trainer, B. Burgess, evidently Intends to come north for the Waikato meeting on February 15 and 17, for both Happy Ending and Augment figure among the entries Tor the meeting. Augment, who is now out or the hack rank-, has been nominated for middle-distance events and In his present rorm be should be a bright prospect to pick up a stake on the trip. Happy Ending is also a promising sort or whom the best ha-s yet to be seen, and he also should prove equal to paying expenses. Black Muak Black Musk, who arter racing successfullv over hurdles was placed on two occasions at Trentham, Is entered for the Rotorua Cup this week and on the minimum must be conceded good prospects, on the first day or the Wellington meeting over a mile in high-weight class he ran third under 10.11 to Happy Ending and Kotua, and on the Saturday, in the Mungaroa High-weight (one mile and •three furlongs), was runner-up to Esperancr Bay under the steadier of 10.12. On the concluding day he was just beaten out wf ii place in a blanket finish.

Resumed Work Areas, wm» was recently secured by Ml S 3 M. C. Wilson, a patron of C. C. Mci.i rihv's -table at Hiccarton, has commenced work at Riccarton and the bay gelding is looking in Hrst-clas-s fettle to undergo a preparation. When raced in the North Island Areas promised to develop Into a very useful middle-distance performer, but or late his form has shown a lapse and has been most disappointing. <me thing in his favour is that he can handle any kind or track, so that he should not be dimcult to place In the south.

Chanco for Foxaen Foxsen, who at her last appearance finished attractively to be within a neck of Cornish and British Talent in the Ralph Handicap on the latter day or the recent Auckland mid-summer meeting, is an acceptor Tor the Rotorua Cup and as she appears to be none the worse for EUersdle exertions she will have every opportunity to make amends, especially as she Is still in a handy position in the weights.

Sydney Campaign Lnless something unrorseen occurs in the meantime Beau Vite will do his autumn racing in Australia, where he Is to be entered Tor all the weight-for-age races to be run at Randwlck at Easter. There is nothing definite In the way of shipping space for the son or Beau Pere, but hopes are held that this will be arranged before the month Is completed. Another of T. R. George’s team in Serenata, who was also a possibility Tor a trip to Sydney, will do her future racing In the Dominion, at least for the remainder of the present reason.

Interesting Juveniles The colours or Mr W. H.
