TURF NOTES.

Profits over the Victoria Amateur Turf Club’s meeting exceed £2OOO. The Saracen filly Despatch is growing, and will yet make a useful mare.

T. Hodson has Rolf, the jumper, and Alicia at Ellerslie nearly every day.

The Queensland colt. Musket, has gone wrong. He was voted a good one.

At the Glenlora Stud, Papakura, Lady Musket has produced a filly to Soult.

Whakawatea. the evergreen, is, still working away on the tracks at Randwick.

Hairtrigger was sold after the N.Z. Grand National Meeting for £ 100, and has gone to Otago. Riot, the jumper, is-looking in better form than when he raced at Ellerslie in June last.

Sir George Clifford is said to have a nice lot of two-year-olds at Riccarton in E. Cutts’ charge. Mr G. G. Stead's two-year-olds are reported to be in forward condition for the time of the year. Mr Scott, one time owner of Bluejacket, has been back from a trip to England about a fortnight. Firebrand, by Stepniak from the Patrol mare Firecross, is a colt that is doing well at Riccarton. Alex. Williams is working Puriri, a half-brother to Pokomoko and Plain Jack, a brace of chestnuts.

Mr J. Beckett purposes leaving Sydney for Auckland this day week, or at latest on September 4th.

The much-talked-of Rocket visits the Ellerslie tracks occasionally, and is looking in healthy condition.

Leeholme, half-brother to Merriwee, was sold recently in Melbourne for 200 guineas to Mr. J. Wilson. B. Nichols has Himalaya, a West Coast hack, in his charge now, and the ’chaser Tarragan still in commission.

Carbine’s three-year-old son. Saintfield, won the Warwickshire Plate, li miles, just before the mail left England.

From a private source I learn that New Zealand pencillers on a visit to Australia have been losing money all the time.

At Wilton Park, N.S.W., Fearnought, full sister to defunct Dreadnought, has foaled a filly to imported Haut Brion.

Mr. H. Oxenham won the Sydney Tattersall’s billiard tournament. Mr. W. Lyons, the Auckland penciller, played well. Dingo is about as forward as any of the jumpers at Ellerslie. On Tuesday be was schooled over u few flights of hurdles.

Sparkling Water is at times a handful for Stenning, her trainer, to manage, and a treat to ride when on her Worst behaviour.

Tresham, by Catesby from Allabacnlia, was schooled over the small hurdles at Ellerslie on Tuesday morning- and shaped fairly. Nor’west looks a bit dull, but if his coat has lost its bloom the old "chaser is gay of heart, and will soon be got into form again. The Leolantis —Fishfag gelding. haH-brother to Cannongate, is the worst-winded horse in training at Ellerslie—a pronounced roarer. Camille, by Tasman, from Cobweb, is doing pleasing work, and is a shapely filly, and Stenning should win a stake or two with her in time.

Winsome is the picture of health just now, is carrying plenty of condition, and moving along strongly. A win for this mare is long overdue. Pekin, a recent winner amongst two-year-olds in England, is by St. Simon, from Lady Yardley, dam of Castor, the Wellington Park sire.

Mr Donald McKinnon informs me that he intends bringing Ilesper and Gatelock, and possibly another of his youngsters, to Ellerslie next month. Solo, who had a poisoned leg for a time, is a daily visitor at. Ellerslie, and though a bit on the big side, is in nice health, and looks sound on his understandings.

The Ellerslie racecourse has been receiving a top dressing of grey sand. The tracks were better this morning than they have been this season. Kenley, Sequence, and Abington were the ruling favourites for the A.J.C. Epsom Handicap at 100 to 8 each when the mail left Sydney.

J. Rae returned from Christchurch on Sunday with Natation and The Needle, and by the same boat, the Mararoa, D. Moraghan brought Straybird and Sundial. The Waikato Hunt Club’s annual race meeting is to take place on the 11th September. Capital entries have been received, and the weights appear.in this issue.

La Gloria is one of those worked during the afternoons. It is a settled thing that we are to see her competing in hurdle races soon. Fergus is schooling her. Abington had run the best mile and Kenley the best six furlongs on the Randwick track up to the 16th August since the commencement of the season.

lit the Ladies’ Bracelet, at the Wanganui Hunt Club’s meeting, a horse called Berber fell and broke his neck. There were a number of falls during the afternoon.

Moifad, I am informed, was going strongly in the N.Z. Grand National Steeplechase until he ran off. He ran down some of his fences rather badly however. This is a habit the son of Natator has.

Belfast is freshening and doing well under H. Franks' care, and Firefly, who is to be kept at the jumping business, is looking in good form to start hard work

Jewellery appears to me to have got light of flesh rather fast. This is a nice filly, and all going well with her she may be taken South to the Canterbury Jockey Club Spring Meeting.

Kissaline an<f Crecy, in F. Macmanemin’s team, are getting into shape, and will soon be forward enough to race, and there are races on the calendar that both should be able to win.

Beddington and Rosella are doing useful work, and so also is Laetitia, in the same stable. Glasgow, who is * steadily improving colt, has been eased off during the paat few days, being in physic.

The fining of eighty-eight persons caught in shops in Sydney alleged to be used for betting purposes is announced in the police reports in Sydney papers. In each case forty-eight hours were given in which the fines of £2 each were to be paid. A full brother to Altair, Daystar, Circe, and Janet (dam of Scotty), and half brother to Sant Ilario and San Remo is a recent arrival at the Wellington Park Stud, where also a full sister to Korowai and Motor put in an appearance during the week. Bluejacket shows great exuberance of spirits when he appears on the track, and is as jolly as a sandboy. He is rounding up, too, and getting into fig fast. He is doing most of his work on the tan.

The increase in the totnlisator turnover at the New Zealand Grand National Meeting was £9235. There will be a substantial profit over that meet ing.

At the Kensington Pony and Galloway meeting on August Bth, in the 15-hand class, Minerva ran second in the Kensington Handicap, carrying 9.6, to Little Gull, 7.12, a daughter of Tasman’s brother, Prodigal.

St. Ursula and St. Peter are a pair that are getting through sound work. On Saturday they were extended over the best part of a mile, and yesterday put in a sound gallop once round the tan. St. Peter looks very bright, but blows more than the mare at the end of their gallops. I have never seen the pony Lena so robust as she is now. Always a thickset little mare, she is one of the attractive sort. Lena must be about the oldest equine in training here, and she is certainly one of the bestlegged and soundest. I believe she is 14 years old this foaling time. In a sprint of three furlongs on the course proper last week Rondelitia, by the Trenton horse Ronda, moved in fine style for a little one, and she is a sweet, little, precocious one that can show a clean pair of heels to some of the bigger ones of her own age.

The most commanding of the two year-olds at headquarters is Mr L. Marshall’s Spalpeen, the chestnut son of Gossoon and the Goldsbrough mare M indmill. He reminds me of Vogengang in colour, contour and markings, and can handle himself well for a big one. He is not so forward as some of the juveniles, however. Tyrant, own brother in blood to. Tyranny, one of the horses imported by the New Zealand Government for stud purposes, is evidently a useful sire. At a meeting in England the last week in June Claquer, a son of his, won the Thirty-eighth New Biennial Stakes, value Ssosovs. A Sydney exchange has announced the arrival there of a New Zealand racehorse in Bird, of Passage. This I presume is the five year old brother to Straybird by Wanderer from Fleetwing, who started three times at three years old and won once —the Wairarapa Hack Guineas of 100 sovs. Record Reign is credited with having run a mile and a half gallop at Flemington on the 16th with a light boy up in 2.41 secs. The son of Castor was shipped for India on Wednesday, and we may not see such a hurdle horse again for years. I have never seen his equal during my experience.

Coronet is galloping freely in his work. l On Saturday morning he brushed over five furlongs with Bobs, and kept that colt, who is a good mover, busy. In a second sprint he led Bobs, Girton Girl (an improving daughter of Medallion), and Etona as the business end of the run was entered upon.

Absolum has Vai Rosa looking nice and bright. This horse glides over the ground in a taking manner, in contra-distinction to some of the high-actioned sprawling goers that one always sees amongst track workers. Maroon and Gold, in the same stable, is healthy and well for the time being.

The nomination fee for the Victoria Racing Club’s Sires Produce Stakes has been reduced to 10 sovs. instead of 20 sovs. as before. The race has been in existence over thirty years. The secretaries of the Auckland R.C. and Canterbury J.C. receive nominations up to Monday, September 2nd.

Cressy, by Boult from Cressina, in the most nervous gelding at Ellerslie. At times he appears afraid of his own tail. A month or two in a long shafter would do him good. Macmanemiu and bis staff are exercising great patience with this chap, and Fergus and Mark Ryan take the piloting of the refractory one in turns. Cavaliero is one of the horses worked before breakfast at racing headquarters. and J. Thorpe has the hurdler looking very well. The same trainer has Pandarus in good health, and may get a race out of the son of Hotchkiss during this spring. The ponies Heliades and St. Loanda are brushed along solidly at times. A colt that will probably want plenty of time is Kelbourne. the Hotchkiss—Lady Augusta two-year-old. He is st slow beginner, and his action is agains' him. and he requires to Ire ridden to get him to extend himself. Time may do a good deal for him. however. He is a colt apparently of good disposition. Mr George Rhodes, of Ellerslie, has patented a starting machine which he intends offering to the Auckland Racing Club together with his services as starter. I have seen the model work, and there is no doubt that the method is simple, and as far as can be judged likely to be effective. A racecourse trial is to be given shortly.

New South Wales race crowds are sometimes demonstrative to a degree. At some meetings they fairly take charge. Thus the “Sydney Sportsman": “Lady Era’s driver had to dod.e blue metal at the finish of the trot at Forest Lodge. Lady Era was as warm as they make ’em, and punters thought a few rocks would liven the driver up.” Beddington’s two-year-old brother. La X alette, is doing less than others of the same age at Ellerslie, and it is ev.dent will not be wanted before about November. La Valiere, the sister to Nonette, has not really commenced to do anything on the tracks. A start will be made with her next month. Mary Seaton shows fair sprinting form.

Drudge and Rattler, two of Major George’s chestnut fillies, are usually worked in company, and are going on all right, but it will be some time before they are likely to be seen at their best. Zealous is going in her usually free style, and works with the New Zealand Cup candidate Shellback, who, after going a few furlongs, displays considerable waste action.

The sweet little cherub that sits smiling aloft evidently does not always take care of the poor bookie, judging from the following advertisement taken from the “Sydney Morning Herald” of August 16th: — “Bookmaker’s Bag, cost £5, nearly new, pawned 15/, M. de P., sell ticket 25/. Broke, “Herald” Branch.” What a chance for an enterprising man with a small capital.

Record Reign was made nearly a level money favourite in the Malakoff Stakes, one mile and three furlongs, at the Victoria Amateur Turf Club's meeting, and carrying 9st ran 2nd to W.P., 6s t 131 b, Kinglike, Bst 91b. finishing third. There were eight other starters, and W.P. was a 20 to 1 chance, Sydney “Sportsman,” says: “The

books had a rare trump in the Malakoff Stakes. Record Reign went out a hot fntonrite, but W.P., the winner, had little difficulty in beating him.” Mr J. R. Corrigan disposed ot his horses Sandial. Forward Guard, and Employer after the N.Z. Grand National Meeting. Sundial realised 200 guineas and was purchased by Mr W. Foss. of Auckland, while Forward Guard was sold to Mr J. B. Reid for 55 guineas, and Employer to Mr D. Price for 53 guineas. Other sales were Roller 195 guineas to Mr Sam Brown of Ashburton, and Formosan

105 guineas to Mr M. Friedlander of the same place. Alling®. who won the Spring Handicap at Sydney Tattersall's meeting on Saturday, is a five-year-old daughter of Pilgrim’s Progress and Vendetta, and ia engaged in the Melbourne and Caulfield Cups, Sydney Metropolitan and Toorak Handicaps, Bruntwood, who ran second, is by Grafton, and. besides engagements in the leading spring handicaps, is engaged in the AJ.C. and V.R.C. Derby events. Mr. Howard, at Avondale, is the first breeder to claim a representative to Phoebus Apollo, the imported Wellington Park sire, in a filly foal from his St. Leger mare Pearl 11., a daughter of Miriam Grey, a Peter Flat mare, that won many races about Wanganui at one time. In Garnet Mr. Howard owns the first foal got by Soult, the first St. Simon horse imported to New Zealand. At Sylvia Park Bmgela has produced a filly to Seaton Delava!.

It has been stated in several Southern papers that 1500 guineas was the price paid for Seahorse. Two thousand guineas, as stated in the “Star” at the time the sale was effected, was the price Mr. Golian's representative paid, and I have Major George’s authority for stating so, Moonra. the dam of Seahorse, is this year in foal to Cyrenian. and the result of the union of a St. Simon horse with a Goidsbrough mare will be watched with interest. The book programme of the.

Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club for the season 1901-2 has reached me. The chief races in the spring are the King Edward Handicap, of 30Gsovs.. the Hastings Stakes,' of 25050v5.. for two-year-olds, entries for which were received some months since, and the Hawke’s Bay Guineas, in which all the best of last season's two-year-olds are engaged. The summer programme is not heavily endowed. The Hawke’s Bay Cup. run for in the autumn, is worth 3»Jsovs„ and the Hawke’s Bay Stakes. 500sovs.

W. H. Jordan, with 215 mounts and TT wins, comes out at the head of tha list of winning jockeys in Australia. W. Winter rode in 262 raees, winning 44; Bob Lewis in 226. winning 42. F. Kuhn leads the riders in New South Males, and has 62 wins to his credit. Kuhn’s license had not been grantel when the mail left Sydney. This came as a surprise to many. 'Whatever the reasons, the Australian Jockey Club Committee have fit can be said, started at the top of the tree. Kuhn was lately before the stewards at one of the suburban meetings.

Mr William Forrester. “Black Bill,” as he was familiarly called, was one of the most popular men racing in Austral a. and his death announced in

thia iaaue will be read of with regret by New Zealanders who knew him. Gaulus, The Grafter, The Chief, and other horses in recent years kept the name of this sportsman prominently before the publie. Mr Forrester was one of the few owners who hare had the satisfaction of winning the Melbourne Cup on more than one occasion. The New Zealand bred mare Industry gave him Gaulus and The Grafter his winning representatives. Some of the carpet bag contingent of jockeys are displaying activity lately, and there is no lack of horsemen to ride work at the Ellerslie tracks of a morning. Some are looking for mounts thus early now licensing day is coming round. Trainers should encourage the workers all they can, not those who shirk taking their coats off to strap a horse and get as far away from stable duty as they can in the winter, and are seldom to be found when really wanted. There are horsemen who, to their credit, do, stick to work and keep themselves in form, and deserve well at the hands of owners.

The “Sydney Daily Telegraph” says:—The financial year, which ended on the 31st ult., was the most successful the Australian Jockey Club has had for many years, there being excess of revenue over expenditure to the amount of 4J6797 IS/. The most striking feature, perhaps, is that a profit of £257 accrued in connection with the club’s last autumn meeting. It is not a very large sum, certainly, but Mr T. S. Clibborn says that, with that exception, there has never been a profit on the spring or autumn meetings since 1838, in which year the stakes were raised from £ 16,000 to £24,600.

Mr S. R. Kennedy, a member of the Australian Jockey Club, recently gave notice of his intention to move at the annual meeting of members for the abolition of the shilling entrance fee at the outer gate at Randwick, but fearing that there was little chance of carrying the motion asked leave to withdraw it. The takings there were less last year than for five previous years. Mr Kennedy explained that his initial action in the matter was not prompted by any antagonistic feeling towards the club, but merely in the interests of the turf, and with the earnest desire to make horseracing a public amusement, and not merely a gambling medium for a few. These sentiments are good.

Under date of July 20 our London correspondent writes:—“At the Newmarket blood stock sales, on Tuesday evening, two Antipodean racers, to wit. Oban and Gold Medallist, were submitted to auction. The former elicited bids up to 680 guineas, and at that price was bought in. For Gold Medalist, who has done nothing worthy of his New Zealand reputation since he came Home, th* . best bid was 280 guineas, and h* also was passed out unsold. A private deal, however, was effected between Mr Cohen and Mr T. W. Phillips later on, and Gold Medallist changed hands at 300 guineas, a poor price, even in view of the horse’s failure at Home, for the New Zealander is undoubtedly a horse of class, and i» almost sure to win a King’s Premium, even if a good race cannot be got out of him by his new owner later on.

The Wanganui Hunt Club had a very successful meeting on tbe Wanganui racecourse on T hursday. The fields were good, the attendance large, and there were present three members* of Auckland Tattersall's Club, and four other bookmakers, who voluntarily subscribed five guineas each, and carried on their business on the coursZ Others were doing business also, and there was a fair amount of speculation. Only one favourite scored during the afternoon. This was Raukura. who won- the Mile Hack Race. The Hunters’ Hurdles fell to Ingatarangi, the Hunt Club Steeplechase resulted in a dead heat between L nravelled and lodoform, the Open Six Furlong Hack Race to Starlight, the Licensed Victuallers’ Steeplechase to Jack Tar, the Hunters’ Flat Race to Snapshot, and the Ladies' Bracelet to Full Cry L

‘The purchase was announced from Melbourne on Tuesday by cable of tbe thoroughbred four-year-old colt Finland, by Bill of Portland from Fishwife, by King of the Anglers, from Nameless by Panic. King of the Anglers by Angler. It will-be seen that Finland thus combines the St. Simon, Fisherman and Panic blood. He was a very useful two-rear-old. winning at that age the V.R?C. Maribyrnong Plate and Sires' Produce Stakes, and running second to Debenture in the Gwyn Nursery Handicap and second in the Ascot Vale Stakes to Malster. At three years old he won the South Australian Jockey Club Goodwood Handicap, carrying 9st, and the Victoria Racing Club’s St. Leger. and was second in the Caulfield Guineas to Kinglike. Malster being third. On pedigree lines Finland has plenty to recommend him, being a descendant of imported Spaewife, the maternal ancestress of many horses of note.

Mr Evett, on Wednesday, gave us the weights for the Avondale Cup and Flying Stakes Handicaps. Hohoro is in his right place at the top of the list of horses engaged in the longer race, but will probably not be ready to do himself justice. Battleaxe has all he has earned, and Bluejacket could not well have been let off with less, but on publie form of those below Coronet it could be easily shown that Rosella has been too favourably placed, and that Beddington has been given an advantage over others engaged that he has no right to. Take his running all through the season with Formula, and take his last performance as a guide, when he gave Volee 221bs. and a beating in the Third Winter Welter at Ellerslie. Now there is 171bs. between the pair. Without going into a long story, it appears to me that Rosella, Beddington and St. Ursula have all the best of the argument on paper when form is carefully studied, and that unless Nonette should really prove a first-class three-year-old so early in the spring, and Formula show a good deal of improvement upon her best previous efforts, one of the trio first named will account for the race. I like the look of Nonette at his allotted weight in the Flying better than anything else. It is a far cry to the opening day of the meeting, and acceptances are not due till the 13th September. Meanwhile. owners will learn more about the form their horses are likely to show.

This morning on the track at Ellerslie some interesting work was got through. Before breakfast Northumberland and Grey Seaton galloped half a mile fast. Beddington and Glasgow covered a circuit at a solid pace in company. Laetitia galloped a mile and Rosella a mile and three furlongs. Heliades and St. Loanda were well matched in a half mile spin. Vai Rosa and Maroon and Gold covered six furlongs in company. moving pleasantly . Tresham was schooled over the pony hurdles, then over the bigger ones, and afterwards ran along at a strong pace over six furlongs. Coronet had Etona as a companion the first half mile and Bobs over the last half of a mile, which was traversed in fair time. Cavaliero, on the tan, put in good striding work. After breakfast Balbimie and Golden Rose. Camille and Sparkling Water were allotted useful tasks. Winsome'galloped about a mile' at a sound pace. Zealous led Shellback, who had most weight up, and Rattler at the end of a strongly run six furlongs. Formula and Nonette covered a circuit of the tan in even time. Blue jacket, St. Ursula and St. Peter went a mile and a quarter together. brushing over the last two furlongs at top. Nor'-west, Firefly, and Cannonade's half brother put in strong work in company. Cressy and Kissaline. Drudge, Crecy. Blaircarrig, Rocket, Nereid. Capford. Riot. Dingo, Despatch. Volee, Gladys May. Belfast, and a number of others were set more or less useful tasks. Spalpeen led Rondeletia, the Eton—Asthore gelding and Joy in a 3 furlong brush. While schooling in company with Marine Ballinger carried a hurdle away, and gave T. Hall a fall which rendered him unconscious for a time. He. however, mounted again and took the son of Crackshot for another turn over the obstacles, which he jumped in a bold style.

Racing is booming in every part of the globe. In England, in America, in Germany, in France, it is the same cry. and the records of the past season’s doings from each of the State* of Australia show that substantial progress is being made. Nowhere is racing making more progress, however, than in New Zealand. It may seem remarkable to some people that other countries where the totalisator is not used are making such solid advancement. We are being continually told that if the totalisator were taken away from us we should see racing decline in this colony. It is possible that we might hare much less racing and smaller stakes, but with a public so thoroughly educated as the public of New Zealand now is, to speculate on horse racing, the bookmaker would have a big business, and have to pay for this privilege as he does in other parts. The non-betting owner, who is content to race for the stakes, and now finds the cost of nominating his horses is light compared to what it was years ago, would have to provide a bigger proportion of the fees by way of entrances, and the public would have to find more money to gain admission to the courses, as such charges would have to be raised. They would not, however, contribute so largely to the racing clubs and the Government of the colony as they do now indirectly. The win of £ IS.OOO went to the Government ISst year, and this year they

may grt anywhere from £ 23,000 to £25,000 out of racing, since the I—2 system of paying out at the totalisators means an abnormal increase. So many clubs are now in such a prosperous condition that they could well afford to work on a clear five per cent. takings from the totalisator, and the Government, who do next to nothing to earn their thousands, should be satisfied with 1 per cent., or a third less than they have been drawing from the racing community, seeing that they must be deriving thousands of pounds annually from racing in other ways, the railways and telegraph departments'contributing enormously. The racing public are paying well for their sport, but the I—21 —2 system of speculating is going to be a big drain upon ahem, which they must feel in time. e © ® AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB'S SPBING MEETING.
