The Highden cracks Bronze and Rrmcn* garde have resumed work again al Awapuui after a short rest. The Menschikoff gelding Maui Nina has 3cft P. Conway’s charge, and is now being trained by M. McGee. W. Sharp has had an addition to his team in a likely-looking sort of gelding by Gluten — Otau. The youngster is now being handled. The well-known horseman L. Wilson lias accepted a retainer for twelve months from Mr. E. J Watt to act as first horseman for his stable. I'. MuMauemin, who usually iias a team r»f anything up to twenty horses in work, has at the present time only five under his charge. It is rumoured that Whakaweira, Antarctic, and Continuance are not likely to fulfil their engagements al the A.R.C. .Winter Meeting. Delegate and Soultoria have been thrown out of work, consequent upon the death of Mr. James Koulstou, and have been turned out at Pukekobe. l.loyds and Presently were companions in a gallop of a round of the sand at Ellerslie on Thursday morning, the former showing to most advantage. The Monoform gelding Appellon, which Bias been off the scene for some time, is being hacked about again preparatory’ to going into active work. The Beauchamp gelding Sir Rupert, which Ihas not been heard of for some time, has put in an appearance at Ellerslie. Sir Rupert looks big and well. F. Davis has taken Robrikoff in hand again, and if the black champion stands a preparation, he will probably be found racing in Australia in the spring. The Spalpeen gelding The Celt was given lesson over the small hurdles at Ellerslie on Thursday morning, when he shaped promisingly for a beginner. The two half-sisters, by Mfirtian, to Dobrikoft. War 'Scare and War Talk, which have proved very disappointing on the track, are to be retired to the stud. The Auckland horseman B. Dooley will hot be riding at the A.R.C. Winter Meeting, as be is fully engaged at the Otaki fixture, 'which clashes with the Ellerslie gathering. The Bluejacket mare Sphinx was confidently expected to land a stake at Wanganui. but the best she could do was to run second to Bismarck on the concluding day. The best of the Higbden youngsters is thought to be a filly by Charlemagne 11. ffrom Tn redo, and already she Las been s 86 worthy to fill Ermengarde’s w A’- v Stepniak—Peace purchased £y Mr. T II Dowry at the Cambria Park nisporsa! sale is reported to bp showing a lot of pace in the sprinting she has been Indulged in. A horsA which has met with a lot of support for the Great Northern Steeplechase is Zante, which is in at the mini-“'won-Pra. is aged ge,dins by Eur,> The Roult Bolding Hyperion, which was ▼cry erratic when racing on the flat, was given ins first turn over the bigger hurdles et Ellerslie last Thursday morning, when he fenced faultlessly. All going well in the meantime. Cont Innnnre is to fulfil hl« engagement in the < re:>t Northern Steeplechase. The san <rf Sabretache has come in for some support lor the big event. Nfflrt week ft J Mason will ship half » doren horses to Sydney in charge of 11. Telford. Who will attend to them unttl the arrival of Mason himself, who will journey across a fortnight later. ’ The Great Northern Steeplechase candi. date Zante lx stated to have sustained Injury through l»arl»ed wire last week. The Injury wa« RtrlouN enough to prevent him fulfilling bis Wanganui engagement*. Pan!, which won the Century nnrdlrs. In rt a ted to have made a very poor showing rh*n first put info work, and was fiver a turn In hnrnnw*. and thru put Into h'°rk again with beneficial results.

Mr. T. 11. Dowry’s filly Beldame, which showed a lot of promise, but which, unfortunately, •went wrong, is still running in lhe paddock. She will probably be taken iu hand again in about a month. The victory of Darby Paul in the Wanganui Century Hurdles has earned him a 71b penalty for the Great Northern Hurdles, tint even with bis increased poundage will only have to carry 9.7 in lhe Ellerslie race. Nothing is doing bettor schooling work ot Ellerslie among the maiden hurdlers than Bonny, and. last Thursday morning the son of St. Peter was schooled alone over a round of lhe hurdles, fencing in good style. After being allowed to race under flu 1 name of Intruder for the past season, the name has now been disallowed, and in future the Daystar gelding formerly known by that name will figure iu the lists as Star King. The combination of the two Nappers is now the favourite selection for the Great Northern double, and only a very short price is obtainable about the Hawke’s Bay gelding. Napper will need to be all his admirers claim to win both races. Word from the South states that the recent mishap to Corazon will prevent his being a runner iu the Great Northern •Steeplechase. The defection of Sir William Russell’s crack would rub the race of a considerable amount of interest. Stewart Waddell arrived from the South by the Mokoia on Thursday with five of the Hon. J. D. Ormond’s horses for the A RC. Winter Meeting. The horses brought up are Napper (the Great Northern favourite) Altcar, Idealism, Miscount, and Boilin’. While schooling at Ellerslie last week Tipua met with a bit of a mishap through one of the pins of the hurdles striking her on the inside of the leg. It is understood there is very little possibility of the daughter of Wairiki being seeu out at the A. R.C. Winter Meeting. The Bluejacket gelding Dunborve. which claims an engagement in the Great Northern Hurdles, was sent a couple of rounds of the hurdles at Ellerslie, Galvata accompanying him the first round. Dunborve jumped well when he had company, but loafed when by himself and ■fenced slowly. Old Paritutu was given another lesson over the big country at Ellerslie on Thursday morning, with the hunter Golden Glow os a companion. Paritutu fenced well throughout, but Golden Glow struck the first fence of the double the second -time, and gave his rider (Ellern) a nasty roll. The ex-New Zealander Gold Seal 11. was one of the *24 runners in the Diverpool Grand National Steeplechase last month, but toppled over at the fifth fence. The stiffness of lhe country was evidenced by lhe fact that only half a dozen finished, and no fewer -than six horses turned turtle at lhe first four fences. B. Deeley was engaged to ride Mulga Bill in the Connolly Handicap at Wanganui, but, owing to the withdrawal of that gelding from the race, got the mount on Merrivonia, which he piloted to victory, the mare starting at a very short price. It is interesting to note that Deeley has won on Mulga Bill every time he has ridden him. The Ilawera horse Coronetted was given schooling work over a round of the hurdles at Ellerslie on Thursday morning, with Blue Mount as a companion. Coronetted was galloping strongly and fencing well till he struck the fence betwen the four and three furlong posts, and afterwards tired badly, being beaten easily by Blue Mount. One of the best schooling gallops over hurdles registered at Ellerslie so far this season was put up by Presently (C. Scott) and Dloyds (Speakman) on a recent morning, when the pair were associated in a spin over seven hurdles. Presently went particularly well, and is now a good first favourite for the Great Northern Hurdles. Dloyds fenced in good style, but could not pace it with Presently. During the week covered by the latest files from England. Frank Wootton -piloted only one winner—Mr. J. Ellis Potter’s hr ft Nankeen, in the Hampton Welter Handicap at the Warwick April meeting: whi’e his compatriot. W. Huxley, was similarly successful on Mr. H Dancombe’s Junior in the Gosforth Park Three year-old Handicap Plate at the Newcastle April meeting. The ex-New Zealand horseman D. IT Hewitt, won the Packingfan Th rep-year-old Handicap on Sir T. R. Dewar’s Irish Demon, by Forfarshire. A Great Northern candidate which fa undergoing a thorough preparation at Ellerslie is Tui Oakohau. nnd he Is doing all that is naked of him in good style. On Thursday morning, in company with fx>cb Fyne and Hunakaha, he wng sent a schooling gallop of two and a-ftalf miles over the big fences, ascending Hip bill twice. The trio were fencing perfectly till going along the back the last time, when Hunakaha struck the hurdle by the fire-furlong poxt hard and dislodged his rider (J. Jones), who escaped unhurt. Tui Citkobati and Tx>ch Fyne fenced well, although Tui Cakobnu did not fly the water very well and dipped a bit at the sod wall.

Mr. T. 11. I-owry has half-a-dozen rising two-year-olds being handled nt the present time by his private I miner (F. Davis), three of ‘Which hr purchased at the Sydney yearling sales, 'the latter trio, whi h are highly spoken of, comprise a colt by s San Francisco— Miss Gladys, a co’.t by Royal Artillery — Quietest, and a filly by Grafton out of a full sister to Sylvanite. None of the youngsters are nominated in New Zealand, but arc freely nominated for the AustraHau classics, and if their form is sufficiently promising they will be taken across. The N.Z.-bred youngsters are Bobrikoff’s halfbrother by Royal Fusilier, the Sou It— Monogue colt, and the Stepniak—Peace filly. The acceptances received for the first day’s racing of the A.R.C. Winter Meeting are exceptionally good. and it will be strange if a record gathering does not result - that is, of course, if the weather is al all favourable, in the Great Northern Hurdles eighteen still remain in, the prin cipal defections being Woolioomooloo, Antarctic, Koran, Cornelian, and Sandy Paul. The running at Wanganui has brought Darby Paul and The Native into prominence, and both have incurred penalties, and arc at a short price in the. double betting. Na>pper has arrived al headquarters, and looks real well. Waiputere has accepted, and a whisper is around that she has more than an outside chance. The local candidates are all doing good work, and taken all round the. event looks like providing an excellent contest. The reply of the Hon. G. W. Russell to •the deputation which waited on him in reference to the hunt clubs, to the effect <hat he had sent iu a recommendation to ■Cabinet that the clubs should receive special consideration, will be gladly received by followers of the sport. When the recent gaming legislation was passed, the hunt clubs suffered considerably, and unless totalizator -permits are to be issued it is hard to see how they are to be benefited. Some clubs, notably the Pakuranga Hunt Club, are subsidised by a racing club, the Pakuranga body receiving something like £2OO a year from the A.R.C., but others are nut so fortunately situated, and it is these that are in danger of dying out. The providing of stakes by the Agricultural Department is not likely to be of much assistance, for without facilities for speculation the public are not likely to attend meetings, and it seems as if the only way out of the difficulty -was to grant totalisator permits, or else revert- to the old order of things. The victory of Okaihau In the Wanganui Steeplechase has earned him a 101 b penalty for lhe Great Northern Steeplechase. Okaihau’s win was well received in Auckland, where his owner-trainer is very popular, and this is the first event of any importance won by his colours. The gelding ■was bred by his father, -the late J. B. Williamson, and is by Salvadan from Orini. East season Okaihau started on five occa sions, winning thrice, running second once, and being once unplaced. After winning the Turanganui Steeplechase at Gisborne last July, the son of Salvadan showed signs of unsoundness and was fired by Dr. Ring, being the first horse to be operated on under the new process, .and was consequently ’turned out ‘for a spell. He was only taken up a few months ago, and the Wanganui Steeplechase was bis first race since last season. In connection with the Wanganui cross-country event, it is interesting to note -that of the four occasions on which the race has been won by an Auckland horse only once, when Haydn won in 1904, has victory fallen to a horse outside the Williamson stables. The late J. B. Williamson first won with Guy Fawkes as far back as 1886, in his own colours, and in 1891 with Ingorangi, in the colours of Mr. J. McAlister, and now 3iis son has followed in his father’s footsteps, turning out Okaihau, which landed the stake on Thursday. i 4* 1*

TURF TALK FROM THE SOUTH. Mr. E. H. Taylor has added to his team •the filly Foam Flake, which he purchased from the Ashburton owner Mr. J. C. N. Grigg. Foam Dake is now a stable companion of Coroniform. under the care of A. McAulay, and although up to -the present the daughter of Calibre—Amaulis has been a disappointing filly, age may work some improvement in her. Encouraged by his success at the Ashburton meeting, H. Ireland is a regular attendant at the tracks with Probable, which is bowling along freely in h s tasks. The son of Primula claims engagements at the Dunedin Winter Meeting, and all going well will make the journey to Wingatui. The veteran drainer H. Goodman, in charge of Dearest, arrived from Wellington on Sunday, and journeyed on to Oamaru yesterday. The presence of Mr. Buckley’s mare in the Oamaru Cup field will give the contest a representative flavour, but some at least of the local mentors would have preferred her absence from the scene, as their own chance would then have borne a more rosy appearance. Tikitere has so far failed to throw off the lameness which prevented her going to the Ashburton meeting. At first she appeared to be suffering from shoulder lameness, but one morning while working she developed lameness behind, and later it was apparent that she bad strained the lumber muscles In her quarters. Rlnce then Roberts has been unable to give her more than the lightest of exercise, and probably the useful daughter of Finland will have to be given a respite. D. rP. Moraghan left last week for Wanganui in charge of Dorando and Outlander, tc fulfil their engagements at the coming meeting there. D. Hagerty, who will ride both horses io their engagements, accompanied Moraghan with his team. Rbould fMrando and Outlander show encouraging form at Wanganui they will probably be taken on to Auckland for the big jumping carnival at Ellerslie next month. Dorande

has shown himself a proficient fencer, but he is deficient in speed. Outlander is practically only a beginner over the battens, nnd his schooling displays have left much to be desired. Ou Thursday the St. Ambrose—Ekaterlni Passeropoulo gelding, with Culross for a companion, was given a sprinting task on the trial grass, <and he strode along la a manner that should augur well for h’.s future prospects. The rising three-year-olds Mad Whirl (Treadmill —Madowla) and Quarantine (Treadmill--Fairhaven) have rejoined the active brigade of the Ghok ebore Dodge team after enjoying a lengthy respite. The Gold Reef mare Pure Gold injured one of her stifle's whilst working at Wingatui, and may not race for some time. She has been allowed to drop out of her engagement on the first day of the Oamaru meeting. The Achilles filly Achilla, now owned by Mr. Bruce Christie, will be given a run at the North Otago meeting, and possibly may win a race before joining his stud. The same owner is breaking in <a Bonifor-m two-year-old filly, which he intends racing next season. Word from the South states that Waiju is shaping well in his schooling over hurdles. 4? d? 4* WAIRARAPA NOTES I/ongner has Broken down, and has been turned out ou his owner’s property at Kopuaranga, where 'he will remain till next October. The Tauherenikau horse Sinapis, which has performed well this season, has been turned out for a spell, and will not sport silk again till well into the spring. N. Williams has added the Birkenhead gelding ’Negative to his Ciareviile team. Brown Trout has been sent to Frank Higgott to train. The latter has now seventeen horses iu his stable. Wee Rose, which has not performed with very great success this season, was tried over hurdles, but shaped so poorly, that it has been decided to keep the Meriwee gelding to flat racing. The Pahiatua and Lower Valley Racing Clubs, which were wiped out of existence last year by the Racing Commission, intend to make a strenuous effort to get their totalisator permits restored. Though the Tauherenikau horse Taney has recovered from, his cold, it has been decided to give him a brief spell; therefore he did not make the trip to Wanganui. The Taratahi Carterton Racing Club intend to make an application to the Racing Conference for a two-day meeting to be held on December 26 and 27. The Racing Coanmission last year reduced the Taratahi gathering to a one-day meeting. The Captain Webb gelding Piermont is doing splendid work over the sticks at Opaki, and will be sent to the Wellington meeting to fulfil engagements. Since winning the double at the last Marlborough meeting, Leapuki has been eased down in work. The Lethe gelding will be amongst the competitors at the Trentham winter meetings. Negative has been leased to Mr. IT. llodgA, and will race in his interests at the next Otaki meeting. iMoloch has been tried over sticks at Opaki, but his efforts are not likely to induce iris owner to enter him for jumping events ahead. 4- 4: i A.R.C.
