TURF NOTES.

Settling over the A.R.C. Summer Meeting takes place next Monday. The Ohaupo Racing Club have received record entries for their annual meeting. Soultfish broke down while contesting the Thames Cup. and is to be treated to a spell. The racehorses Pharos and Waiwera were shipped back to New Plymouth by the Karawa last Tuesday. Mr G. G. Stead’s team, lluascar. Cuneiform and Nightfall, were shipped to Lyttelton by the Victoria last Tuesday. E. C'utts left for Lyttelton on Saturday in th-.Talnnc with Clanehattan, Kirriemuir. and Gleuowlet. Geo. Prive, the well known southern horseman, is .at present spending a few Hays holiday in Auckland. During the A.R.C. Summer Meeting several would-be purchasers were after Leonator. but no business resulted. . A Southern exchange has it that the Wellington peucillers. have . decided that when the cash is deposited they will pay out the full dividend. • The brow 10‘filly by. St. Jilpp »—Natator mare that appears amongst the nominations for the Takapuna Summer’ Meeting is a half sister to Leonator. The negotiations for the purchase.--of tl>e pony were not compl.etetL. and the mare is still the property cf Mr D. McKinnon. . Mr Watts' horses.-King Billy. Starshoot and Melodeon, in charge of T. Qutniivan. jtm... were taken back to Napier by the Victoria last Tuesday. ,rl .a? knowledge with thanks, receipt iof ii'eke’t for the Wha-nga-rvi ltaring*ChftFs «Tnh-’naF meeting. Which takes pJace on the 12th and 13th lust. During the A.It.C. Summer Meeting. Mr U. O. Nolan." acting on behalf of a client, asked Mr Stead to’ put a price on Cuneiform. Tlie answer was that the colt was not for safe. ’* «.’.?*-•»»- . A large number of local sportsmen intern! making the trip to the Wliangarei Racing Club's annual meeting, which takes place next Friday*and Saturday, the 12th aud 13th in.su-; Excursion fares'have been arranged for. . --Several 'the. visiting trainers lost no time in. shipping ■ .their horses horn** after the A.R.C. Meeting, -and a number of their charges, after racing on the concluding day. were shipped that evening for their various destinations. Although It. .7. Mason shipped his horses homo-last Tuesday, he did not leave himself. and lie has been enjoying a few days’ holiday in Auckland. Mason left on Saturday by the Talune in charge of a number of bloodstock purchased at the recent sales. There was a N>t of foul riding, in Jhe Pony zST iGice at .< Ellerslie on */the coke hiding ’ dhv.s /and one horse' la particfilar was* given a lot” of attention.- Unfortunately the parties concerned did not drem it ad visable to lodge a complaint with the stewards. The dust nuisance- was very prevalent at Ellerslie during the recent summer meeting, and aithbitgh the authorities made every’ effort to cope with it by the liberal use of ‘their cart, the high wind blowing brought the dust over in clouds from the Great South Road. The New Zealand Trotting Association have endorsed the action of the Anejt--land Trotting Club in awarding the tion Handicap to Harold Abdallah. Consideration" of the* iJogan case, retried byt] the same club, was adjourned nnm'hext k meeting. A two-year-old likely to sec a nitieß Letter day is Celtic, by Seaton Dela-val—St. Margaretta. owned by Air M. Melanin-. Although Celtic failed to gain a winning J»«u*kei lie.showed great promise, and as he, lnh»'■•Hie appearance of one that time will do a lot for. he will probably he seen to better advantage by the autumn. Th? totalizator investments for the four days at the A.R.C. summer meeting total the enormous sum of £84,272, an increase of £15.852 on last year’s amounts. So far the chib are CI9.SKB 10/ ahead on this season’s workings. The amount estimated by

the Chairmail as requir-d to be handled to counteract the exclusion of the bookmakers was about £39,WU. The successful sires at the A.R.C. Summer Meeting were: —Leolantls. Seaton Delava 1, Cyrenian, Flintlock, and Multiform, with three winners: Hotchkiss ant! Jet d’Eau had two each; am! Clanranald. St. Leger, Gipsy King. Merriwee, Soult, Torpedo, I’hbcbuS' Apollo. Rampart, Mrnschikoff. Castor. Reynard, Sabretache, and Australian one each. The list of winning trainers at the recent A.R.C Meeting is easily headed by C. Coleman with six winners: J. O'Driscoll. T. Quinlivan. Jr.. F. Macmauemin had three each; n. French and R. J. Mason had two each; and E. Cutts, ’l’. A. Williams, R. Hall. I*. Conway, Lindsay, T. Clark. G. Absolum. J. George. W. Smith. Irwin. C. Weal. W. Ring, and A. Mitchell one each. B. Deeley and 1.. 11. Hewitt are together at the head of the list of winning jockeys with five winning rides a piece; 11. Gray had four; F. Davis three; V. Cotton. Brown. M. Ryan. 11. Sparkes. J. McGregor. S. Fergus, had two each, and IHiilllps. J. Sceats. and Erickson one each. In certain quarters Merry Delaval's victory has been credited to 11. Howe, but this is incorrect, as the Seaton Delnvnl marc has been an inmate of A. Mitchell’s stable at the Shor? for some, time past. Although Merry Delaval appeared in the race card as owned by Mr W. Handley, this is not so, as Mr Handley disposed of her a month or six eeks ago to Mr W. Vcrran. Undoubtedly the best of the local twoyear olds xt’cu out at- 4be A.R.C. Summer Meeting was-Cambrian, by Cyrenian—Miss Annie. After running third in th? Great Northern Foal Stakes to Kirriemuir and Huascar, \K»u the Criterion Handicap on the second day with.

M- Blanc’s principal winners were Vai ee races of £L"».<aW), Genial (six or £i fc ,4iK»). Gouvernaut (eight of £ll,Ginn, of £4000). and Gaius (s.wen of £AM£)). M.

When Melodeon ran such an erratic (otirse al the finish of the A.R.C. Handicap certain scribes nt once jumped to th? conclusion that the horse was trying to savage the other competitors. This, however. was not so; as th? display was en-tirely-due to the fact that the hoed and blinkers with which Melodeon was racing in became disarranged and obscured the horse’s sight, with the result that he undoiihtcdiy interfered with several of th? (ompetilors, but principally with Mahutonga aud Armistice, either <f which may have reversed places with th? winner but for the interference. The vs? of the hood and 1.-linkers, it is a’ \gcd. should not b? allowed—but why? They are in use all over tlie world, and because on one occasion they come adrift and cause interference they should never be used again. It would !>? just as reasonable to argue that because Hewitt lost one of his stirrup while Multifid In the Derby, and badly interfered with King Billy, that the use of stirrups should• b? disallowed. The occurrence was purely accidental, and while there is racing (Here is sure to be accidents. After the disgraceful scenes which were witnessed at the outside totaHsivtofs at Ellerslie, while people were trying to make their invest incuts for the Auckland Cup. a large number were throwing the blame o:i the totalisator proprietors, Messrs IL 11. Hnyr and Co., purely in the supposition that their staff was unable t;> cope with the husiiKss. That this was unfair to Messrs Hnyr and Co. was plain y evidenced on the coHvindiug days, as after the committee had met to devise some m°ans to prevent the crowding, and acted cn the report of Mr Hayr. who explained that the want of proper races to the machines was the cause of the trouble (which they at once l\:*.d rectified) there was absolutely ho reasonable cause for complaint. It will be interesting to know that the tickets sold at th? outside machines for the four days totalled no less than 67.470. an average of IG.BG7A a day, as against 59,537 lianditd inside, an average of 12,6441 per day. With such, a volume of business being .transacted, one would expect a* Little crowding, but the manner in which the work was got through reflects tlie greatest credit upon, the management, of Mr 11. H. Hayr. and the efficiency of the stall under him. • > • . - Titus the English writer “Rapier”: — Echoes of ike de Wend Fento.i cas? linger ami ;iu* iike'.y to do so for some trm?. <*m* scriLe “dencutiees the secrecy with whicli Jockey t'luh invest! gat ions are hehr.’’ and the foiiy of ;!iis complaint must surely be obvious r.fte.- a single moment’s thought.

THE WELLINGTON CUP. '4 WELLINGTON, Monday/* Th* 1 following are the acceptances for the ‘•ntef event to be decided at the Wellington Racing ciub« summer meeting:— THE M ELLINGTON Cl'P of GSOSOVS. One mile and a half.

TURF TALK FROM THE SOUTH. CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. In Otago the new year was ushered in with quite a number of country race meetings. At the Wyndham meeting on January Ist the Dreadnought gelding Sirius beat Juniper in the New Year Handicap, and subsequently won the District Welter Handicap. Crichton carried 10.4 to victory in the Flying Handicap, w’lile Bill I’erkixis appropriated the Open Welter Handicap. At the Cromwell meeting Flower o’ Clutlia heat Visionary in the Cromwell Handicap: but next day the latter turned the tables on her conqueror in the Jockey Club Handicap. The Cajolery horse Toney won' the Flying and Farewell Handicaps. and Tugcla annexed the Grandstand Handicap. The Palmerston Cup. th? principal event decided at the Palmerston South meeting, fell to Ruluwayo’s half-brother. Quagga, and the Shag Valley Handicap to Ointment, a gelding by The Workman, who also won the Maiden Pl.ite. Th? Musketry—Dudu mare Lolah appropriated the District Han* dicap, and the Cuirassier horse Transport the Farewell Handicap. At the Waikouaiti meeting Catheron. by Obligado, defeated Lolah in the Hawkesbury Handicap, but tae latter afterwards won the Bray Handicap. The Goodwood Plate fell to Octave, by Obligado, who was followed home by the ancient Maremma. The first day's racing of the Southland Racing Club was heid in most disagreeable weather, and was marred by a couple of accidents. In the New Year Hack Welter Handicap J. McGuire, the rider of Eremah, had his foot injured by collision with a post, and it was found necessary to amputate one of his toes. In the Flying Handicap Canada fell, and Captain Kettle blundered over him. with the result that Jamieson. the rider of Captain Kettle, -had one of his legs broken, and Canada injured his shoulder. Astrakhan, the throe-year-old brother to Petrovna and Master Alix. fr= still troubled with intermittent lameness. I hear good accounts of a two-year-eld colt by Birkenhead—Merganser, who is in training in Southland. CIIK LSTCIIERCII, Saturday . The local racing world is still seasonably quiet. Rircarton is deserted, and it is likely to be in that state for at least another week. The entertainment that Canterbury, race-goers have had during the holidays has been a trotting meeting and a few picnic race meetings, at which there was no tote. At one of the latter, held under the auspices of the Tinwald Racing Club, the principal event, the Tinwald Cup, was won by the Hotchkiss—Lady Augusta gelding Thunderer. Silent Member won the Grandstand Handicap: Contest, by Mannlicher, the Malden Plate; Gold Reel, by Gorton', the* Domain Welter - Handicap; and Conquercss, by Conqueror, the Consolation Handicap. At another, the Mcthven Sports and Raeing_Club’s -annual . race meeting, the Methven Cup was won by Silver King, and the Ladies’ Purse by Tomtit, by Mannlicher. The other two racing events fell to Hawke's Bay-bred horses—Miss Hamilton, by Captain Webb—l.ady Hamilton, appropriating the -Mount Unit Handicap, and Thryrlis, by Apremonl—Tliryra, the Fiat Race Handicap. Mr G. L. Stead has bought the jumper Numa in the North Island. The price paid for the horse was 90gs. It is stated here that Kirriemuir has gone amiss in one of her knees, if the report is true Sir George Clifford has no reason to look back with pleasure at the recent Auckland meeting. Th * great -Northern Foal Stakes will hardly compensate him f<>r being deprived of .the services of two such fine performers as <J::arrynian and Kirriemuir. In the case of the latter it is to be hoped that the loss is only temporary. Major George, who has been on a visit to Christchurch, went out to Rlecarton and renewed acquaintance with his old champion Nelson. - The only incident in local sporting circles worth mentioning is the recent raid on the premises of th* local bookmakers. Most of the best known of the local fielders are under remand to appear before the Court on a charge of keeping common gaming houses. Mr Fried lander has still further reduce*! his fast diminishing stud by the disposal of the stallion Finland to Messrs El’worthy Bros., of South Canterbury. ilr Waiiklyn. the secretary to the Canterbury Jockey Club, who has been on a holiday Visit to Australia, has returned home. (By Telegraph.—Special to “Graphic.”) CHRISTCHURCH. Monday. The local sporting world Is still very quiet. It Is likely to begin tn brighten up «oon. however. Several absentees 'hot*

boracs and meuj wUa have been either to the Weal Cuiiat ur lu the North Island, have returned, and lu a few days all those team* without engagements at Wellington (Will be home again. Meanwhile local racegoers will find a little amusement at the Hororata Racing Club’s annual race meeting, wbiVh is set down for to-morrow. This meeting is always enjoyable, and this year promises to be no exception to the rule. The following horses may run forward in their respective engagements:—Bangor - Plate, Petrovna; llor-»rata Cup. The Mohican; Farmers’ Plate, Buccleugh; Flying Hack Race, Ettaree; Welter Handicap, Munderer; Haldon Stakes, Hilarity. W. Pirie left his North Island team at the Hutt, and ran down for a brief visit last Saturday to see how his home team was faring. He states that Martian is peeping sound, and satisfactorily. but that Tsitslhar is suffering from thin soreness. If Martian continues to improve he should certainly be dangerous in the Wellington Cup. The Sydney-bred horse Narrangeri has changed hands, having been purchased by F. P. Claridge. who has placed him in F. Holmes’ hands. F. Jones has taken up his quarters under Hobbs. and for the future will act as first horseman to the Racecouse Hotel team. Most of the team are well, the two-year-old Ivanoff especially so. but Field Gun. the Hotchkiss—Gannet colt, is troubled by one of his knees, which has been blistered. ■The rain which fell on Friday did a great deal of good to the training tracks. The tan track has been widened, and the work of re-erecting the semaphore on th? new site opposite the stewards’ stands is nearly finished. Two Riccarton residents have mot with accidents recently.- Mr S. Wilson, the former owner of Rosemere. had a leg broken while engaged in farming work, and F. Di Ila more sustained a fractured leg when Orkan fell with him at the Tinwald meeting on New Year’s Dav. Messrs T. Campbell and B. Reid, who Were present at the Auckland Racing Club’s - summer meeting. returned to Christchurch on Saturday. If Achilles is at his best he ought to take a great deal of beating io the Wellington <’up. On the Auckland Pat * running Nightfall should hold Mahutonga safe.- but Martian, fit and well, may beat both of ♦hem. Vladimir has a chance, and Vari-, tutu. Putty. Savoury, Auratus. Convoy. Armistice. Makaroff. Lyrist. and Ropa should all be worth watching. ® © © English Racing.

Mr Parker getting her for the small outlay of .*U»gs. “The colt of the season.” was Mr Nolan’s comment when Lot K. the brown colt by Soult — Rose and White xfas led* in the ring. A beautiful colt, looking every inch an aristocrat, it did not need a very good judge to tell that there wou’d be keen competition for his possession. Mr Hughes gave the colt a start at 300 gs, and quicker than one could write it down he advanced in 50-gulnea bids to llOOgs. at which _prlce Mr A.
