Tho locally-trained two-year-old Norval Tea, who collided with a post when trying! to run off the track while gallopt ing at Ellerslie one morning last week, will not fulfil her engagement in the Avondale Stakes. '

J. Garrett has been speeding Myola up in her track essays and the Catmint filly has furnished a good deal during the last month or two. She is to have ber first race of the season in the Maiden Plate at Avondale to-morrow.

The Cynic—Gay four-year-Old Optimistic has been showing improvement in his track -work at Ellerslie and when lie Become* seasoned may show up in hack company. Ho is engaged in the Maiden Plate at the Avondale meeting and the race should benefit him considerably.

J. Buchanan has given Brampton a solid preparation and the 'bay gelding is in capital condition just now. Ho displayed plenty of pace in a five-furlong gallop at headquarters yesterday morning and it is more than likely that the Lord Quex gelding will race better than he has done in the past.

Although Winsome Boy is not engaged on the first day of the Avondalo meeting he has been doing good work at Ellerslie and will be given a run in the New Lynn Handicap on the second day. The Some Boy 11. gelding races well on a light preparation and he should soon bo back to his best form again.

The Te Aroha trainer Geo. Reid will liave : Lucy Rose and Upoko to represent him at the Avondale meeting and both these horses look in nice condition aftty their racing at Wanganui. Lucy Rose ran a creditable race in the Railway Haok Handicap at Wanganui and she may soon return to the winning list.

The big Archiestown gelding Owairaka, trained by Geo. Lindsay at Avondale, is a solid-looking gelding, that may develop useful form when he becomes seasoned. He was given a ruu along over five furlongs on the inside grass track at Avondale'on Wednesday morning and displayed plenty of pace for a novice.

One of the best half-qjile gallops at Ellerslie yeeterday morning went; to the credit of Golden Wedding and the daughter of Kenilworth is in tip-top condition to fulfil her engagement in the Swanson Handicap "at Avondale tomorrow. She only needs to begin well to have a good show of being in the money in the mile hack race.

The hunter Cui Bono, who id engaged in steeplechase events at the Pakuranga meeting, was indulged in a schooling task over the big fences on the flat at Ellerslie on Thursday morning and gave a good display. Although getting on in years, the chestnut gelding is a safe juniper Who is likely to show up in moderate company.

The aged gelding Kyoto has been allotted several schooling tasks over the big fences at Ellerslie during the last few weeks and has cleared the obstacles in first-rate style. He is engaged in the Onehunga Steeplechase, to be run oil the day of the Auckland spring meeting, to be held next month at Ellerslie, and his showing in that event will give some idea of his prospects "for the future.

The New Zealander Cimabue hung on so well to secure third money in the Tramway Handicap at Tattersall's meeting on September 8 (says a Sydney writer) that the fielders raised him to the third square on the Epsom charts. The gelding's countrymen, however, have grave doubt** whether he will be dangerous at the end of a severely-run mile. They appear to have good reason for their .contention, as the longest distance Cimabue has won over is furlongs, when he was a two-year-old. At three years he Won twice at six, and at seven furlongs was beaten only a ne«k by Reremoana at scale weights— a good performance. Cimabue 'showed by the way he stuck to Habashon that ho has plenty of -pace, and, now that he is a four-year-old, he may possess a little more stamina than he had last season.

A. E. Elite, who' has beeu riding in good form during the present season, will be on Benzora in the Flying Stakes at Avondale to-morrow.

P. Conway's jumper Tago San gave his best fencing display to date, when schooled over a round of the steeplechase fences at headquarters on Thursday morning. His condition is not as good as could be desired at the present stage, but that should steadily improve from now onward.

Lady's Boy did not put a great deal of dash into liig work when galloped over five furlongs at Ellerslie yesterday morning and possibly his hard races at Marton and Wanganui have affected him. However, he will have to show bettef fofm than he has previously done to have any Chance in the big sprint race at Avondale.

That promising mare Miss New Zealand is to have her first rat* of the season in tho Henderson Handicap at Avondalo on Saturday and she is sure to carry strong Support in the sevenfurlong race. The dauglitef of Nassau and Mountain Dream is undergoing her preparation at Otahuhu and little is known regarding her recent track doings; still if landed at the post in her best condition she can be depended on to acquit herself attractively.

One of the most consistent gallopers at Ellerslie during the last few weeks is Hoariri, who has been responsible for several good efforts over sprint distanced. He has been galloping in a manner approaching his best form, while his condition indicates that his ownertrainer has him ready for the Flying Stakes contest at Avondale to-morrow. Hoariri is a brilliant beginner and that will bo decidedly in his favour with the big field that is likely to contest the open sprint race on the suburban course.

In. the Shade, who recently was the medium of good support for the second leg of the A.J.C. double, tho Metropolitan Handicap (says a Sydney writer), was accompanied by Satrap, in an interesting seven-furlong spin at Randwick last week. They ran one in 12s, two in 25b, three in 38s, and the first halfmile in 51$«, but although Satrap was about a length and a-half in front running along tlio side, In the Shade caught him in the run homo and they recorded 1.33 J for the full journey.

As a two-year-old last season Gold Money displayed a lot of pace and finished up by winning three races at that age. She has been going along nicely in her preparation at Ellerslie for some weeks past, and yesterday morning ran a fast half-mile in company with King Emerald on the No. 1 grass track. Gold Money is to have her first race as a three-year-old in the Members' Handicap at the Avondale meeting to-morrow and her shewing in that event should form some idea regarding her future prospects.

Ono of the best gallops at headquarters yesterday morning was registered by the local hack Parfait Amour, who ran six furlongs in 1.18 2-5. Last season the Romeo gelding finished third in a maiden race on the first day of the autumn meeting at Avondale to Kerry Dance and Bombarder, and filled a similar position in the Dominion Handicap the following day, to Luminary and The Fox, both 6even-furlong events. Since resuming work this season Parfait Amour haa-trained on in good style and if he runs up to hie gallop of Thursday morning he should soon reward bis owner with gome stake-money. AUSTRALIAN RACING. LIMERICK FOR MELBOURNE.

SYDNEY, September 20.

Arikiwai has been scratched fqr all engagements at the Australian Jockey Club's spring races, also for the Melbourne and Caulfield Cups, and will be sent back tp New Zealand in a few days. Unless unforeseen circumstances arise Jones will take Limerick and Roscrea to Melbourne atter the Rapdwick meeting.

CARBINE

THE AGREEMENT FOR HIS SALE,

Last week, while Mr. H. fv. Cowan, an Adelaide sharebroker, was perusing old paper? which had accumulated in his office (formerly the office occupied by Mr. C. M. Todd) he discovered a typewritten document), a copy of the agreement made for the sale of .Carbine, the Melbourne Cup winner of 1890 (says the "South Austraiian Advertiser"). Carbine. who was regarded as the greatest racehoi>e of his day, if not of all time in Australia, won the big race at Flemington for Mr. D. S, Wallace (W. R. Ramage rider), with 10.5 on his back, and live years later was sold for England. The paper referred to read: —

Melbourne, January 29, 1595. —I hereby, as agent for the sender of a cable from London, addressed to myself, and hearing the date 26tb day of January, 1*0.".. agree to purchase, and we, the undersigned A. M. and J. Valantine—agree to sell the racehorse Carbine, by Musk<-t —Mer>ey. for the price of £13,650 net, in Melbourne, within three days from this date, provided that if the said sum of £13.650 is not paid within the time mentioned the vendors to have the option of cancelling this sale. (Signed) — Clius. M. Todd, A. M. and J. Valantine.

A . RACING MACHINE.

THE CHELMSFORD STAKES.

To get hold of a racing machine like Limerick has been the aim of thousands "f horse owners, but few have had the good fortune, despite enormous sums laid out in yearling purchases (says a Sydney writer). That Limerick should win w.f.a. races is now being taken as a matter of course. He was a hot favourite in the Chelmsford Stakes, and. naturally, he won. Most people would have regarded it a miracle had he been beaten.

For the third year in succession Limerick has triumphed against all coiners in the Chelmsford Stakes. It was his eleventh successive victory, and he raised his stake earnings for Mr. H. A. Knight to ,£33,528, as a result of his win.

MoCarten has sei Limerick some heavy tasks at times, but he knows what the horse can do, and consequently there • wasn't any fear on tho part of those who supported him, when The Happy Warrior was careering along in front of the field, and Limerick was back 6ixth.

At the half-mile The Happy Warrior had a lead of four lengths over Belle Gallante, who in turn was clear of Rionscup, Winalot and Limerick, with Statesman not far behind. Turning for home, The Happy Warrior's lead had been reduced to two lengths, Rionscup, Raasay, Limerick, Statesman and Wiualot ill a bunch behind liitn.

Then McCarten whispered in Limerick's ear, and the black put in those few fast ones which brought him level with the leaders. At the half-distance he had the r„;e well won, as he was going past Winalot, and was eased on tho post to triumph by a length from Winalot, who beat Tho Happy Warrior by a similar margin.

Winalot could not go with Limerick over the final furlongs, but nevertheless his effort was good, considering that nine furlongs is not by any means his best distance. Statesman finished in style suggesting that ho is going to 1 e a hard one to beat in tho Melbourne Cup. Against the 71b Win. lot was conceding him, Statesman will get 181b from the Sydney Cup winner in the big V.RJC. race. Statesman was just beaten out of a place, and Ricnseup was almost alongside him. The latter, too, gave a promising display, in view of liis Metropolitan engagement. Both pulled up well an I the outings should benefit them considerably. The surprise of the race -as the speed exhibited by The Happy Warrior, who is a maiden three-year-old colt by Great Star, from Donna Marie. C. Pike let him slide a'.ong in front and lie hung on fairly well in the straight to secure the minor place money. NAPIER PARK MEETING.
