NOTES.

Entries for the. Taka puna Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting are due on November 5.

Entries for the Wanganui Guineas (1909) and Jackson Stakes (1910), the two big classic events in the programme of the Wangannui Jockey Club, close with Mr. W. Hall on Monday next, November 2, at 9 p.m.

A good word is said for All Guns, who won the North Otago Cup last Thursday. He is a four-year-old by Pallas from Greek Maid, and beat his five opponents so eu o y that he should win again before long.

Ftjom <the Wafikanae Stud comes word of the death of the imported stallion Kilcheran (Kilwarlin —Emita). So far his best representative is Kilwinning, who is highly spoken of, but others of his young stock are full of promise.

The other day at Randwick the Auckland pony Frederick ran into the two-year-old filly Carperingan, the latter being so badly hurt that she died shortly after. Frederick escaped scot free.

Mr. Sol Green has purchased Cross Battery for 370 Guineas and later on she will go to the Shipley Stud.

The New Zealand horseman, T. Cahill, rode the winners of four jumping events at the A.J.C. meeting at Randwick.

Among the foalings of the week are Lady Rose (Soult —Rose and White) a colt to Gluten, and Waimangu (Explosion—Stepfast a filly to Spalpeen.

Although in a hospital the previous week with appendicitis, W. Bulllock rode Signorinetta in the English St. Leger. The filly only ran seventh.

Woolwinder, the Doncaster St. Leger winner of 1907, was recently placed under offer to the Hungarian Government at £25,000. No deal resulted.

When the latest files to hand left England, D. Maher was at the top of the winning jockeys’ list with 93. Higgs being next with 91, and Wootton with 87.

Shortly before the last mail left England Rhodora, winner of the One Thousand Guineas, went amiss, and it was not expected she would, race again.

At Doncaster on September HR. Wootton won a six-furlong selling handicap with a four-year-old Carbine mare named Muscosa. There were twenty-two runners, Muscosa being favourite.

The death occurred in England last month, at the age of 79, of Mrs. Emma Archer, mother of the late Fred. Archer, the famous jockey, and of Charles Archer, the Newmarket trainer.

There was a great boil-over in the Junction Handicap at Alexandra Park yesterday. When it was seen that Imprimus was a. starter there was a rush to get on the Phoebus Apollo mare, and she carried the bulk of the money on the machine. Punters had overlooked the fact that she was carrying the welter weight of 9st 121 b, and this seemed to anchor the mare, for she never seriously threatened danger, Quadroon winning fairly comfortably from Frontino.

The Waihi Hack Racing Club will hold a meeting on the Waihi racecourse on November 14.

Mr. Dan O'Brien’s cheque for Maranui’s win in the Caulfield Cup amounted to £2500.

Mr. R. S. Webster, of New Plymouth, has been appointed secretary to the Taranaki Jockey Club.

The Otahuhu Trotting Club is calling for tenders for the booths and refreshment stalls for the season. Mr. F. I). Yonge will supply all particulars. * * *

Sir George Clifford’s two-year-old Broadsword has recovered from his accident, and is doing some smart training gallops at. Riccarton.

The Melbourne Stakes will be run on Saturday. The New Zealanders entered are Maranui, Seddon, Pink- un, Waipuna and Soult line.
