WANGANUI.

(By Our Own Correspondent.) WANGANUI, JUNE 19. Fred Tilley has sent Piriwai home. The daughter of Obligado is remarkably fast, but has proved very disappointing, for the Reason that she bleeds from the nose after galloping about half a mile. The Fordell trainer does not appear to have anything like a top-notcher in his stable at present, Mescal and Gaby being perhaps the "best. Goodwin Park is a good one, but is very unlucky. He is engaged in the New Zealand Cup, and may have to be reckoned with if landed at the post dressed in his best, that is, of course, providing he gets a decent run —which seldom happens in his case. Some good work has been done during the last week or so on the local tracks by the jumping division. Lull and Sardonyx jumped the big country in splendid style, and on the form shown may be expected to run well at the Hawke’s Bay and Napier Park meetings, where the opposition may not be particularly strong. Lull bas been paid up Tor in the Woodlands Steeples, in which he has 10.8, and in which Sardonyx is also engaged at 10.5- Lull is also amongst those left in the Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase, in which he has to carry 10.0. D’Nil, in the same stable, is engaged in the Whakatu Hurdles at 10.4. This gelding has been jumping well recently and looks to be in capital nick. ' Euroco is to be taken across for the Napier Park meeting. He had D’Nil as a companion for a spin over the small sticks on Thursday, and appeared to have all the best of the go. The Euroclydon gelding when at his very best is quite in the 'first class as a hurdler, but frequently does not run up to expectations. There is no getting away from the fact that North East and St. Bill are a pair of clinking good hurdlers, judging by their track form, which continues to please the touts. Both are jumping in great style, and as their pace is undeniable there is every prospect of them winning some good hurdle races for Alex. HaU. Jimmy Peachey has been entrusted with the training of Lady Jean (the two-year-old daughter of Pilcher and Merry-go-Round), who claims an engagement in the New Zealand Cup. This filly is owned by Mr. A. J. Toxward, who owns Lady Lucy, and has a very racy looking appearance. That well-known sportsman, Mr. R. W. Patterson, who formerly owned Solution, and now owns Mon Ami, has taken over the Federal Hotel, where he should do well as he is so popular in sporting circles. Mon Ami is to go into the Fordell stable, so will lack nothing in the way of training under such a mentor as Fred-Tilley. The latter has sent Shuja home to his owner, from which it would appear that the son of Soult is not expected to stand another preparation. Tilley is taking serenity in hand again. The spell the Handsome Jack gelding has had should have done him good, and he may be expected to show some decent form during the coming season. Albert Jackson is breaking in the Wairiki colt which he recently bought in Auckland. The half brother to Coromandel is a promising looking youngster, and should develop into a fine two-year-old. Coromandel is being given a spell.

It is stated that F- Cress is likely to do the riding of the Karamu jumpers during the retirement of A. Julian.
