Thursday, December 30, 1897. SPORTING TOPICS. Mannlicher has changed hands. Had he remained at Yaldhurst he would have been “ added to the list.” Two of the Elderslie yearlings purchased for Dunedin owners last month have died from influenza. On latest advices M. Cannon was still well at the head of the list of winning horsemen in. England. At the Moonee Valley (Victoria) Meeting ow Dec. 8, the New Zealand-bred Vagrant, byGipsy King, carried lOst 121 b to victory in the Jumpers’ Flat Race. Two residents of Christchurch have drawn. Carrara in Tattersall's Consultation on the Australian Jockey Club’s Summer Cup. Advices from Victoria state that Mr C. F. Glassock, the new owner of Parthenopeeus, has decided to send the son of Splendor and Atalanta to the Monomeith stud. The annual meeting of the Ohinemuri Jockey Club will be held on the Paeroa Racecourse onThursday and Friday, March 17 and 18. The Melbourne Cup winner, Gaulus, has been thrown out of work, and will not be raced until the autumn. The four victories gained in succession a* Cairns (Q.) by a mare on one day did no‘ i result in the over-flowing of the pockets of the owner, as her total winnings were £3l. After the meeting the owner wanted to sell this equine wonder for £25. The Lochiel mare Amiable has been sold in Sydney by Messrs Moses, the sportsmen who race under the name of “IV, F. Portland, toF. Fielder, owner of Vigorous and Sensation,, and late owner of Parthenopseus, for 500sovs, and a contingency of lOOsovs should she win a race. A disqualification of twelve months,, imposed by the Rosehill stewards upon Amiable, has only recently expired. The police have warned the bookmakers of Perth, W.A., that they intend to repress the calling of odds on all racecourses. Mr W. R. Wilson has had the bad luck to lose the 2yr old colt Stoic, by Trenton —La Tosca, who performed unsuccessfully at the recent V.R.C. meeting. The colt succumbed to an a ttack of influenza at St. Albans. Multiform’s record is 10 wins, a dead-heat, and three seconds, with stake money amounting to £4,071. Uniform and Multiform together cost Mr Stead 445gns, and up to the present the two sons of Hotchk ss have won in stakes for the Christchurch sportsman £5,374. Glenloth, the Melbourne Cup winner, who has for a couple of seasons or so been at the stud, will be put into work again at an early date by Carmody, at Caulfield. The brown son of Glenmarkie and The Gem, now nine years old, is reported to be quite sound on his legs. The English Jockey Club has altered the rules of racing in regard to crosses during the running of a race. . The rule now reads: “ A horse whichcrosses another in any part of the race so as to interfere with that or any other horse’s chance is liable to disqualification, unless it be proved that he was two clear lengths in front when he crossed.” “ Milroy ” says that W. Kelso, who has booked his passage for England in the steamer China, has instructed Mr T. S. Clibborn to dispose of the whole of his string of racehorses, which includes some valuable animals. There will most likely be some tall bidding for such good, performers as Survivor and Essex. Mr Kelso is not enjoying good health, and, intends taking an extended holiday. It is to be hoped, however, that he will return to Sydney in renewed health and able to once more occupy the prominent position he has so long filled in the ranks of horse owners and trainers in N.S.W.
