Auckland Cup. The colt by Eton—Dolly, scr'.d cheaply at tihy- lust Cambria Park sale, has had tlie name Simplex clulnied for him. Dandaloo, who was at one time in the late John Booth's charge, is now an inmate of Koss Heuton's stable. Had Gtlnockie run first instead of last in the Egmoiit Cup he would have returned a drvidendl of nearly a hundred pounds. Dolores fell in the Whareora Hurdles on the opening day of the Egmout Racing Club's meeting. She was a warm favourite. The connections of Celerity are reported to have had a good win over that mitre's success in the Hack Race at Papakura last Saturday. Lady Annie was made a strong favourite for the Flying Handicap on the opening day ol ! the Egmont meeting. She was never prominent. Returned visitors from the recent West Coast meetings state that Kremlin is racing a long way below the form he displayed in the spring. The filly by Hotehkiss—First Love, purchased by Mr W. Kyu.n at the last "Wellington Park sale, has hud the name of Monii bestowed upon her. lliklcbrand, who injured himself about a fortnight ago, is making a splendid recovery, and has been out walking exercise during the week. The trotting mare Empress was sold at auctiotj yesterday by the Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company for 21 guineas* Mr Huberts beiog the purchaser. The racehorses Pear] Necklet, San Paolo. Noteorini, Numa, General Average, and Lady Annie were brought bad; from tlie South this morning by the Uaravva. Mr J. George, who won the Egmont Cup v.-ith Pnritutu i.a Wednpuday, was succpsbful in that event as far back as ISSO, when he won with Armourer. The distance was then two milos. The Australian Jockey Club has decided not to register an assumed name for any woman nor will they register the lease of a horse to any woman for racing purposes. Hipstone, the well-known steeplechaser. was offered for sale yesterday liy the New Zealand Loan and Merea:it3lf-'Ct.>iui>unF, but the bidding failed to reach the reserve und he was passed in.

A lot of money was invested in Auckland on Dolores in each 'of her engagements at the Kgmont Racing Club's meetIng, in which she ran nnplncpfl. The hard foing may have had something to do with tlie mare's poor showing. KJiaraa was'taken to Taramkll with the other members of B.

A patron of Frank Ross's purchased Hector during the week from his lute owner, Mr Lindsay, and he is now au icmate of Ross's stable. The price paid is stated to fcave been 50gs., at which price he must be considered cheap. Lady Hnne changed hands during tho •week, being purchased by C. Weal from the gentleman who races as A. Ludlow. It s:' stated the price paid for the mare was SOOss. Tho Auckland TLicing Clnb have had the rules for the guidance of those using tlie EUerslie training tracks newly painted, and as they are put up in a promiiiGiit place, there should be no excuse for their nonobservance by those whom they affect. WoodfiekT lins run his last race, and in future he is to do duty between the shafts of his owner's buggy. Woodfiekl got every opportunity to make a name for himself o-n ■the turf, but his want of pace was against him. He should make a first class trap j horse. W. OTonnel was pretty badly cut about the head when Inniskillen fell -with him on the second day pf the Taianakl meeting, and was unconscious in the hospital for some time. He returned to Auckland during the week, and is now making a good progress towards recovery. aßhougn lit ■will be some little time before Jie will be riding again. The caretaker of the EllersHe raceeonrse, C. Hill, and his staff have been bjssy diir.lng the past couple of weeks In removing the unsightly pine trees that were growing in the centre of the path leading into the course from the Greenlane entrance. The ' renroval of these trees is a big improvement, and. gives the sun an opportunity of drying up the path and the road after ■heavy rain. The Canterbury Jockey Club had the tiuestion of the behaviour of a number of licensed trainers and jockeys before them nt their last meeting, when it was decided that the matter woulo , jiotlti Up referred to when the issue of licenses shall next be taken into consideration. This is a step . in the right direction and it is pleasing to see the C..T.C. talcins; a leaf out of the Anpfc and Racing Club over this question. lhe A.E.C.

Promptly to time, Mr Mocee declared the weights for the WaajjaJaui Cup. Mr Morse has commenced his Handicap a bit lignter than was geneially expected. With Mahutonga »--nguged, there was no doubt what would, head the handicap, and in awarding him 9.4 Mr Morae h«a given him a good. chance. Scatty, 8.7, is nicely placed. Faritutu, by reason of his latest victories, is well lip in the list, but I think should be UelU safe by Scotty. ilelofleon reads well \vir.h 7.13, as does Savoury, 7.0, although the last-named's staying powers hare to be taken on trust, but the fact of his beins ine oniy representative of the powerful Yaidhorst stablu is in his favour. Starshoot, 7.3, has nothing- to. grumble at, and Joe Chamberlain, 7.1, may prove the best oi the Ugllt-.welgllt division. To sum the roa.tter up, I think the winner will come from oiahutonga, Scotty, Savoury, or Mr wattß selected. Time after time sporting writers axe compplled to pen articles dealing with tlie rou. riding that goes on meeting after meeting, but the same .still continues, and will m> doubt until the stewards of racing ciujjs lay themselves out to try and catch one or two of the leading offenders and mate examples of them. At the recent toristciiurcii meeting one of New Zealand s leading bonfemen was found guilty of a deliberate cross, which occurred rignt under the stewards' notice and he escaped with the mild sentence of being ordered to stand down for the rest of tae meeting. V-v the question is this: Is a sentence w two days' suspension snaieieiic to deter others from taking similar 'risks? I ▼«*«»«*> no. If the rider was guilty of tht-oft-enee then the stewards of the Canterbury Jockey Club ought to nave seen that he was given a punishment that would have been a warning to others. The fact that he was a leading horseman ought to ia»e carried no weight (probably ft didn t). If th« crack riders escape so lightly, it is almost oilerin" a preminm for the leaser lights to take similar risks on the oH chance of meeting with the same leniency If the practice is to be put down it vnll nave to be with a linn hand, and the sooner stewards recognise this the better. A sentence of two days' suspension is simply making a farce of what is a most serioue eril. POVERTY BAY TURF CLUB'S STJMMJ3R MEETING. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) GISBOBNE, Friday.

Scott, refused to sell him "or a large sum offered before the race. ißy Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) GISBORNE, this. :day. The Poverty Bay Turf Club experienced fine weather for their meetiug, though it rained during Wednesday nighc and up till nine o'clock on Xiiursdiiy mornmjj, thereby cooling the ahmoHpnere, which had been mosc oppressive on the day preceding, and it betiaJited the Makaraka course and grounds considerably. There was a large attendance on each day, and speculation was so keen that there were record rote results, being baudieJ on thu llrsc day, and £0057 on the second, making £JU,O7S for the meeting, or £IZ>7Q over last year. The fields, uonvitbsuiuling tlie withdrawal of the late Mi , ilicuanlson's horses, and a number of others that had inei. with accidents at the Cilsborne meetiug, were better thay usual, and there was Koine very close races. Sarakoif added to Mr Xewman's wiimmg account in tlie Welter, beating Walmata and two others, the upposition of Uaukerio, who has been conlounded in some quarters with liakaria, thu juniper, being lose through that gelding's rider coming off in the first furlong, and of Quilted at the very outset through the son of (juilt turning round at the post. Inspan won the first hurdle race comfortably from Ilixkaria., who did not jump well, ' auii would have been beaten also by Morpeth, who was a length behind the winner when, he fell. Heywood easily beat iiirepere, Xc itahui, Loca.l, and others in the Hrst County Handicap, and Needlework easily beat Koseplot, Hinetapauriki, and I'reeland in the last part of the Turamga Stakes, though Davis had to ride him hard until well down the straight. The Maiden Scurry was productive of a good race between half the sixteen runners, Davis, on Makutu, winning by a length, while the judge found himself unable to separate Momotoa and Luck's All, and as First Chance was coupled with the last-named for the first time since the one-two dividend system was introduced, no fewer than four dividends were paid out, viz., £6 9/ to backers of Makutu, £1 10/ o£ Momotoa, and £3 1/ to backers of Luck's Ail and First Chance. Davis followed with yet another win on Baltic in the Scarry, Sarilla being second, in a neld of ten. Martyrfeldt, after leading throughout, ultimately won the lirst Hack Handicap by a length from Faro, who just boat Haukeria for second place, Sarakoffi being left at the post. Pantaloon had a somewhat easy win from Tlie Needie, Tutungarehu, and Paria in the Plying Handicap, in which he was dressed in his best. On resumption of business on the second day, a great race resulted in the Stewards' Handicap between three, heads separating liinetaupauriki, the winner, Paria the second and Needlework who was third. Inspan jumped better than Waimata and Eakaria in the second Hurdle Handicap, and beat the first-named by a length, Haka- j ria quite fifteen lengths away third. Makatu, when leading at the second hurdle, fell and broke his neck, and brought down Kcseplot, who was second favourite. An exciting race followed for the second Hack Handicap, Haukeria beating Paro a head, while Sarakoff, who led up to the last few strides, was a short neck away thii'&, six other starters completing the field. Martyrfeldt went out favourite for the Sunderland Stakes, and led to half-way down the straight, where Pantaloon, in the same stable, looked to be more full of running. Needle got up on the inside, and finally won by a length and a-half from Freeland, who headed Martyrfeldt within the half distance, Hinetapauriki, who had a 51b penalty, and Hags finishing right in line, Pantaloon last. The Maiden Scurry Handicap produced a keen go between six out of seven runners, First Chance, carrying 171bs over-weight, running last. Pax led, and Motukehu brought up the rear of a compact field till reaching the straight, all down which the field came with riders busy on each one, victory being snatched from Luck's All by Tiromai, who sneaked up next the rails and got home by a long neck, Cinque a simlar distance off just clear o£ Motukehu, Pas, and Lorno, who were all of a heap. Home rode the-winner, who paid a dividend of 15 8/. j Hauiti, ridden by young Rae, came out in the nest event, and won by a clear length from Local Option, Keay, Guillletta, and a very pronounced favourite in Heywood, who unmistakably declined to try when the stick was pulled out at him. A £7 13/ dividend was paid. After Probieda, ridden by Slalone, had beaten Sarilla, a favourite ridden by Rae, in the Publicans' Purse, cams the best betting race of the meeting, the Farewell Handicap, o'nd the respective owners of Hinetapauriki and Local Option tossed a coin to see who should have choice of the services of Maline, the crack lightweSplit, and Hinetaupauriki's owner won, youjipc Rae being selected then for Local Option. Tutungarehu was made favourite, Roseplot, Paria, and Martyrfeldt coming nex l in n-quest. Local Option being the outsider of the field. Tutungarehu looked like winning by a sborr. margin from Paria until a few chains from home, when Local Option, nest the rails, got through, and won by three-parts Y>f a length from Tutungaretm. who just beat Paria and ninetapanriki. Dividend, £14 4/. Mr Piper's starting was excellent, and the manage- i meirt satisfactory. ■WASGA'NUI JOCKEY CLUB'S' AUTUMN . . V. ;■*■ -MEETING. V ,' % .:. WANGANDi:, Friday.

TURF TALK FROM THE SOUTH. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) CHRISTCHTTCCH, this day. The withdrawal of Savoury and Munjeet from tueir Dunedin engagements was owing to the inability of their trainer to obtain boxes for the return journey on the day after the first day of the meeting. Mason decided to bring the pair back on that day in order that they might go North to fulfil their respective engagements at Wanganul. Noetuiform's disappointing display in the Middle Park Plate is attributed to his having been cast in his box on the night before the meeting. He was core both before and after the raceMr Friedlander has had the misfortune to lose a nice-looking foal by Bloodshot from the Australian-bred mare Epi. The youngster injured itself so seriously that it had to be destroyed. Rivera, who is engaged In some of the two-yeaj'-old events to be decided at tlie Dunedin Jockey Club's autumn meeting, is a Sydney-bred fllly by Positano from Waiting Maid, he-longing to Mr J. Brett. It is said that she is smart. Blactstoue Las resumed work at Wingatui after serving a short season at the sf.ud. IJe looks bright and well. Reports from Wingatul are to the effect that both Pallas and Vladimir are getting through good preparations for the Dunedin Cup. and that Kelbiirn is also doing capir taJ work. Ued Gauntlet is looking rather wasted after his attack of influeuza. His stable companion Onidaform has been a sufferer from the same malady. The ApreruoDt r/jxe has retired from the turf and gone to the stud. Flower o' Clutha has recovered from the trouble which was affecting her, and may be expected to take part in the Dunefin meeting next week. The following is a list of the winning payments in connection with the Canterbury Jofiey Club's summer meetiag : —Sir George Clifford. .£930: Mr 0. G. Stead, £230 : Mr J. Frank, £150 : Mr J. T.
