Air George Currie’s mare Ulolo has foaled ft colt to the Eton horse Harrow. The Avondale Jockey Club passed the 22nd year of its inception on Wednesday last. The mares Fuss and Veitalia have made their reappearance on the tracks at EllersThe N.Z. horses Antagonist. Masterpiece, fend Avarice have been scratched for the A. J.C. Derby. W, Young has been engaged to do the fiat riding for the Porlrua stable during the iteming season. A two-year-old colt, by a colt by CyreHlan —Moonga from I’uwerewere, has joined JF. McManemiu’s stable. The hunters Lowngarth and Mavourneen schooled over the small fences at Ellerslie last week, jumping well. The gelding Aristocrat is back at Ellerslie again under P. Jones’ charge, and is last getting into racing form. Only one first favourite won on the concluding day of the C.J.C. Winter Meeting. Eaglestone winning the Redcliffe Handicap. The only outside entry for the Avondale Cup is the ex-Auekland mare Epsom Dass, which is now owned down Ilawera jvay. Crown Pearl, which figures amongst the dominations for the Plumpton Handicap at Avondale, is a member of J. George’s team. Usually the Avondale Cup attracts several three-year-olds, but this year Goldsize is the Only one of that age that appears in the’ list. The Sylvia I’aik horse. Silver Spur, has heen purchased by D. Bannatyne, and is now a member of his team in work at Ellerslie. The Kegel gelding Regain was s-hooled Over the bigger hurdles at Ellerslie last week, jumping with the confidence of a veteran. The Menx. hikoff gelding Dogger Bank arY.lved back in Auckland after his unsuccessful effoits in the South, by the Victoria C»n Sunday. The New Zealand horse Vice Admiral was In the position of first favourite for the Metropolitan Handicap when the last mail left Sydney. The gelding Sir Artegal, which has been enjoying a lengthy spell, inw been taken In hind again by T A Williams, after a !<•; gthy spell. Antarctic and Parltutu are noteworthy absentees from the nominal ions for the A'ondale Si.D-pb-. ba>c Probably both are to be gixen a spell The Sin FranrDco h »r-- Sir I’risc > changed hand’* in th' south recently. and is to be retir'd to the ><ud after the Marton Meeting next month.

The Birkenhead gchttng Rtbnrton is being ► ler Park, .and U eport I to !»•• showing considerable apt!Uide for th jumping business. It is t»t:ite| that a South African owner Vm? h( Kicrartoii !»•»•’ week in search a ruuple of good horNcs. but hU Uilnsiou so ftr has !»<*en unsuccessful.

Tlie Auckland horses Antarctic, Le Beau, and Hoanga, that were competing at the C.J.C. National Meeting, were to have been shipped back to Auckland on Sunday. No word has yet been received from Mr. T. 11. Dowry as to his intentions as regards Bobrlkoff and the Australian trip. V. Davis will not journey across. • The well-known horseman C. Jenkins has severed his connection with the Porirua stable, and has accepted an engagement as first horseman for Mr. E. J. Watt. Remove Bobrlkoff, and the gee-gees trained at Napier Park do not present a very striking array of probable winners in the* near future, says a Napier writer. The New Zealand-bred Advantage, by Advance, was sold In Melbourne last week to C. T. Godby for 210gns; and Lord Kelvin, by Multiform, to J. O’Brien for 235gns. The veteran Grenadier has been nominated for the Flying Handicap ai Avondale. Grenadier is now being trained by his new owner out Three Kings way. As a result of their late meeting the Canterbury Jockey Club paid into the account of the Treasury Department £2316 19/ for the tax leviable upon the totalisator turnover. The first foal of the season made its appearance at Cambria Park during the week. Tournament foaling a filly to Obligado. The youngster is a half-sister to the flying Ashby. A. Morrow has a four-year-old gelding by Seaton Delaval —Maggie Lauder, and a three-year-old filly by Gluten from Mary Seaton in work at Ellerslie. Both show pace for a few furlongs. Sir George Clifford’s Derby candidate Masterpiece is reported to have wintered splendidly, and is now in very forward condition. He was credited with running a mile on the sand at Riccarton recently, in a tick under 1.45. A good judge who was present at the C.J.C. National Meeting, thinks that Windage was the unlucky horse in the National Hurdles, and is confident that but for falling the son of Euroclydon would have defeated Continuance. The New Plymouth rider, C, Cochrane, who sustained concussion of the brain through Windage falling with him in the C.J.C. National Hurdles, recovered consciousness on Monday, four days after, and is now progressing favourably. On Saturday afternoon in the presence of his owner, Mr. G. Dunnett, the two-year-old Devastation, by San Francisco—Dismay, was spurted a couple of furlongs on the outside of the course proper. Devastation handles himself in fine style. The gelding St. Wood is being tried over the big country, and in company with Oh lira was schooled over the big fences in the centre of the course at Ellerslie last week giving -a goo.] display. St. Wood looks like being useful over the big country. The Birkenhead geldings Dawn and Pieseutly were schooled over the small hurdles at Ellerslie last week, both pleasing. Dawn goes it his fences in great style and is an exceptionally fast jumper, although iucliiied to risk them a bit. The services of Mr Crossley, whose op ‘ration on Undecided for throat trouble seems to have been so successful, have been in great demand since the son of Meus<hikolT performed so brilliantly, and he has now a number of -roarers” to operate on. It was decided finally that with the object of improving the various breeds of horses in the Dominion, the Government be urged to institute* a system of premiums for approved stallions to travel the various districts and serve mares at a limited fee. It Ls stated that Mangaoraka, a halfbrother (by Field Batteiy) to Mania pot <». will probably nnke ms fit-’ appearance at the Avondale Spring Meeting where he K engaged in the Avondale Stakes Ihe colt is comhig on nicely under the care of A. Rhodes al New Plymouth The owner of Windage Is reported to have supported the Eune Ivdon gelding heavily tor the Sydenham Hurdles which Le won on the concluding day of the C.J.C. Meeting, and so pleaded was he with Pritrhnrds handling of the horse that he pre seated i»Uu with a cheque tor £l5O.

The Seaton Delaval horse Gladstone is advertised to stand the season at W. Tozer’s, Green Lane, at the low fee of £7 7/, and £5 5/ for farmers’ mares. Gladstone is a beautifully-bred horse, and as his stock, which have so far raced, have shown decided promise, his list should fill quickly. The Avondale Jockey Club have no reason for complaint of the response made by horseowners for the principal events at their Spring Meeting. the steeplechase in particular attracting a large entry. Mr. Morse’s adjustments for the Cup and Flying Handicap are due to-night, the 23rd last. The Great Northern Steeplechase winner Corazon has reached home again after his efforts at the C.J.C. National Meeting. A Southern writer ventures the opinion that when Sir Win. Russell returns from England he may decide to have the son of Coeur de Lion sent Home to compete in the Liverpool Graud National Steeplechase. J. Pinker returned from the south last Wednesday after fulfilling riding engage ments at the C.J.C. National meeting. Pinker states that Le Beau was galloping in great style iu the Lincoln Steeplechase when he came to grief. The son of Leolantis was very sore after the fall, and it is thought he will be off the scene for some time. The two-year-olds at Ellerslie are all well forward, and the Avondale Stakes next month promises to be an interesting race. Quite a number were spurted on the course proper during the week,. and some good form was shown. So far nothing stands out as much above the others, as has been the case in former years. A Melbourne writer says that the New Zealand jockey 11. Cairns was engaged to ride two horses tn the Australian Hurdle Race—Huntorston and Bribery. W. S. Cox, trainer of Hunterston, first engaged Cairns, and he complained to the V.A.T.C. stewards, who decided that Calms should not be allowed to ride at all during the day. Aucklanders who were present at the C.J.C. National Meeting state that Antarctic was very sore when he went out to contest the Beaufort Steeplechase, and the wisdom of starting him was questioned. One good judge stated that Rangl Thompson, who rode Paritutu to victory, could have won the event on either of the placed 'horses. Some twelve years ago a well-known business man In Sydney dreamt that a horse named Los Angelos won the Caulfield Cup, and ever since he has been on the look-out for such a name in the entry list. This year the New Zealander, Los Angelos, figures among the entries, and the Sydney merchant is said to have had a plunge on the gelding, although he has never even seen the chestnut. C. Coleman, who returned from, the South on Wednesday informs me that Hoanga was very sore after his fall in the Beaufort Steeplechase, and will probably require a spell. The son of Regel was to have been shipped back to Auckland to-day. The falling of Hoanga was due to his being blinded at the fence, for up to that time he had been jumping splendidly, and looked to have the race won. Mr. M. Foley and Mr. IT. IT. Hayr left by the Tofna on Tuesday on a round trip of the Islands and Sydney. Before their departure Mr. Foley was presented by a number of friends with a leather-travelling trunk and a ticket for the round trip. The presentation was made at the offices nf the Avondale Jockey Club. Mr. C. R. Rogers presiding. The following gentlemen also paid a tribute to Mr. Foley: —Dean O’Reilly, Messrs. J. May. Donald McLeod, A. Hanna, J. Pagnl, A. Davis, R. Wynyard, and IL 11. Hayr. Mr. Foley has not been in the best of health for some time, and it Is hoped the trip will prove beneficial. With the passing of last year’s Gaming Act, it was thought some finality had been reached in the matter, but it seems evident, judging by the opinions expressed recently in the House, that a lot more is to be heard in connection with the ‘‘Sport of Kings.” The speech of the Hon. R. McKenzie last night came as a big surprise. and It seems plain to most folk that the New Zealand Racing Conference is not in very good favour with the majority of the members of the House. Time after time it has been pointed out that the Conference were going a little too far. and instead of accept lug the Government’s effort at putting racing on a satisfactory footing, they took up an antagonistic attitude. and put every obstacle in the way of the Act working smoothly. Probably the Conference thought they were doing the best thing they could in the way of keeping raring clean, but their attitude on this question, and on that of the ‘stipendiary steward” can hardly be. reconciled ; for. If clean racing was their principal objection. then the ’‘stipendiary stewards” should have been appointed long ago. It will be Interesting to await the outcome of Mr. Jennings’ bill. At the recent meeting of the Agric”ltural Conference, he’d in Wellington, Mr Oswald Hawkeu, of TaranaKT. put the matter very vigorously. Light horses were seriously degenerating, and a lot of them were mere squibs. There had been too tnnrh cross-breeding, but the bl >od horse appeared to be deteriorating a’s*> The racing people should raise the weights and lengthen distances, and give the country stouter and better horses. A very great improvement ’n stock would result from such a move When h was considered that the raring clubs gut a subsidy from the people of about a-quarter of a million star ling a year, they should do something for the good of the country In return. It was

difficult to expect a country like New Zealand to breed horses purely as hacks. They would have to look to the small farmer, not to the ranchman and big holder, for an increase in the stock. The essential thing was to get animals of a good stamp as sires. A first-class station would do much to improve stock. ‘T only wish,” concluded Mr. Hawken, “the racing people would consider the matter more than they do and try to make the thoroughbred horse more than the racehorse pure aud simple.” * * i N.Z. CUP WEIGHTS. CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. The following weights have been declared by Mr. J. E. Ilenrys for the leading event to be run at the Canterbury Jockey Club’s {Spring 'Meetlug:— THE NEW ZEALAND CUP of 2000sOvs Two miles.

Mr. Henrys did not wait till the due date f<. deciare his weights for the N.Z. Cup, hi«j adjustments being in the hands of the secretary of the Club two days before the stipulated time. It te generally acknow* iedged that never ip the history of the race has Mr. Ilenrys been called upon to handicap such an inferior lot of horses as those nominated for the two mile event this year. With Los Angelo® and Bridge engaged some curiosity was evinced as to wliH-h Mr. Henrys would pick out for the head of the handicap, the former being instilled in the position being called upon to concede Bridge stbs. In last year’s event Los Angelos ran unplaced with 7.8, Bridge winning under 7.10. Since then Bridge has run three times unplaced, and once third, the latter in the Auckland Plate to Danube ..nd Goldfinder. I-os Angelos, on the other hand, has won the Stead Memorial Cup nmlcr 9st., the Summer Handicap at the Willington Meeting under Ost., and the jionedin Cup under 9.5, while he ran secmul in the C.J.C. Easter Handicap under '» 13, and third in the Great Autumn under •!» Fort William comes third on the list with 8.8, which should give him a great rliaiiee. Out of fifteen starts last season h. son of Soult won eight times, was secon three occasions, third twice, and ■ . laced twice. His principal success was :■ the Hawke’s Bay Clip, which he won hi d r 8.10. beating a good field. Birkdale, * ran unluckily last season, his only vicn -y being in the St. Andrrew’s Handicap rhe Feilding J.C. Spring Meeting, under 7.13. He has received all he is entitled to. Mcrrivonia, 8.2 would probably be suited by a shorter distance, but Lady Lucy, on the same mark, as a previous winner must be entitled to respect. The daughter of S i ton Delaval has been in Australia for some time, her form across the water being »f .i very moderate character. One of the picks of the handicap is undoubtedly Goldlimler. at 8.0. and I would not at this r • like to take one against him. The son < i San Fran did not succeed in notching a v •: Tug bracket last season, but was competing amongst hall-marked company, and put up some great fights. In the Auckland JR:- Danube was all out to beat him a !.. k. while he also ran second in the Auckland Cup and Great Northern Derby. I: his races Goldfinder* showed evidence <■ it staying power, and is an ideal Cup I. p Prim, Bst., put up a good perform- . • in the C.J.C. Metropolitan Handicap, vh she won in the spring under 7.13, S', has since run unplaced five times but < < .'.i-.1 a return to form by conceding Ched- .. .:• Jllbs., and running him to half a head in tii<' C.J.C. Great Autumn Handicap. ( 1 • ihlar. 7.13, has been boomed as a good 1 . but his only claim to greatness is his victory in the Great Autumn Handicap v.n-b r 6.7, which was followed by five unjl records. 'Gunboat, at 7.10, is a .- l i ■’ s ort of a horse, and put up some fine I inances last season, winning the Rauk..wa cup at the Otaki Maori Meeting. He h certainly well treated. Vice Admiral, is one of the possibilities, while the Aurklind pair, Domino, 7.8, and Advocate, »■! arc nicely placed. If Advocate gets 1 1 the post fit and well, he Should prove a t .-.i proposition. Boanerges, 7.5, has been .u 1 as a non-stayer and may effect a suriin the score of weight he is easily the "—t treated horse in the race.

The Rover will not be again seen on the racecourse till the New Zealand Cup Meeting. The lease of The Rover has expired, 7>ut his owner has decided to give Mr. A. M. Wright, of Foxton, another lease for two years. Sir Antrim is to be put into commission again after a lengthy spell. TUBF TALK FROM THE SOUTH. CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The publication of the weights for the New Zealand Cup has stimulated Interest in the great November contest, and tne work accomplished by Mr Henrys Las eausea no complaints. The horses which figure < the top of the handicaps are generally co - sidered to be judiciously placed, and if tue handicapper has satisfied those particularly Interested in the first half of the list he has done well. There is, of course, always a very long tail to the field nominated for a New Zealand Cup. Although careful attention has been paid to the three dozt n horses figuring in the 7st division or under, it has obviously been necessary to throw in at the minimum a batch of horses whose form gives them no claim to a place in the field, and which could not b«' placed actually according to their merits any reasonable handicap it would be possii>.e to frame. Los Angelos si considered by some critics to be lightly treated with Ost. In the summer and autumn he carried some big burdens in great style, and if he is as good a horse as he was four or five mouths ago the Cup should not be beyond his powers. Of course, we shall know more of him when he races in Australia, and it is possible that his form there may be good enough to induce someone to keep him in that country. Bridge’s weight compares quite favourably with that of the San Francisco gelding, and the Soult horse Fort William could not have been expected, in view of his great record last season, to get off any lighter than he has done. Following these three there is a closely-weighted division of welltried performers. The positions occupied by Merrivonia, unlucky as she has been, Lady Lucy, the winner of 1909. Birkdale, Prim, Cheddar, Martin, and three or four more could hardly have been other than they are. A horse that takes one’s fancy in the division under Bst is Domino, whose form here last November and subsequent efforts in the North stamped him as a very solid performer, likely to train on into a good stayer. Near him on the list are three horses whose prospects have been freely discussed, The Rover, Boanerges, and Coroniform. On their efforts at the Winter Meeting all throe promise to train into fine condition by November. The Rover labours under the disadvantage of having been raced over hurdles, but he is a sturdy gelding who got through a very heavy list of engagements last season with rare success. He has pace and stamina, and as he is to have a good preparation for the two mile race he should be one of the strong candidates. It is reported that his Riccarton experiences have not improved his condition, but probably a short spell will put him right. Boanerges is a horse that has not done particularly well at Riccarton, where we have seen him only over short courses, but he has been supported for the Chip, and I believe he has given his connections reason to think he can stay. Coronlform‘s staying powers are unquestioned. The Multiform gelding’s chance over a long journey in any company must be a sound one. He has not been promlment among the sprinters because he Is a slow’ beginner, but in a two mile race he must command respect. The Cuirassier gelding John, if he were sound, would be nicely placed with 7st, but a better horse within 21b of him is Kllosteri, whose owner expects him to develop into a finer stayer. Among the three-year-olds in the race there are some which we are likely to see racing before November, and until they appear it would be merely a matter of speculation to discuss their prospects. Bandeira, who is estimated to be the best of the three-year-olds entered, may turn out to be better suited by shorter journeys. Tannhauser is doing good work locally, and shapes like a stayer, and I shall not be surprised to find him turning out as good a Cup horse as anything else of his age. One of the very light weights whose chances have been 'talked about is Goodwin Park, but naturally with a horse like the Sylvia Park gelding a good deal has to be taken on trust. It is interesting to note that no fewer than a dozen of the Cup candidates carried silk at Riccarton last week. I have Deferred already to Martine, Coronlform. The Rover, and Boanerges. Of the rest, St. Aldan is unlikely to be raced on the flat again, Fasnakyle hats retired to the stud, Nyland is hardly likely to be trained for the two mile race, and ‘Shuja, Son ersault, Flambeau, Nightlight, and Negative added nothing last week to the very slender credentials on which their inclusion in the list of entries is based. It Is reported that Centaur broke a small bone in one of his legs when he fell in the Grand National Hurdles, and the son of The Possible is unlikely to race again Prior to running the Hunt Club’s Steeplechase last Saturday, the Southland juniper Silver Blaze was under offer to Mr C. F. Vallanee at £2OO, but the Northern sportsman did not close the deal. However, it is not probable that the Meridian—Kato Kelly gelding will return to Southland, as a Canterbury buyer Is negotiating for his purchase. Mr Vallanee appears to have made a wiser choice when he Invested his £2OO in Sir T.etho. If that was !hp price he paid. Mr George Payne, of Oamaru. has sold his horse Goldbeater (Clanrnnald—Go’dlenf) 1o Mr S. P. Mackay. Goldbeater has been shipped to Western Australia, where he will go to the stud.
