RACING NOTES

POVERTY BAY TURF CLUB Excellent nominations have been received for the Poverty Bay Turf Club meeting to be held at Te Aroha this month.

GOOD PEDIGREE LINES Brandon Hall, a double winner at the Pakurangn meeting, is one bred on quite approved lines, especially on the maternal side. By Agent General, his dam Red Lassie, is by Bisogne from Red Helen, by All Red from Bonny Helen, a half-sister to Bonny Portland, the dam of Lady Cavendish and Reremoana. Red Helen v/as a half-sister to Haligan, the dam of View Halloo and El Meynall. A CLASSY TEAM The present racing season should be a satisfactory one for trainer H. Eva, of Ellerslie, for he has in his team high class candidates that should win races. It includes Transmitter, a winning two year old last season, Transcript, Transept, and the Foxbridge—Philetus colt, and the four year old mare Verulam. i STILL RACING Last month it was duly noted that after the Grand National meeting the veteran performer Mungatoon would be retired from the turf. But this is ,not to be just yet Tor Mr Harold Greemvood has sold the Muskctoon gelding to Mr Alex Ferguson, of Dunedin. When the racing tracks emerge from their state of mud Mungatoon will again be performing well. • THE NEW ZEALAND CUP The New Zealand Cup, a handicap of 2000 sovs, two miles, is to be run at Riccarton on Saturday, November 8. TE KIWI

At Mr H. "VT. Burch's Arawa property, Rotorua, there is a two ye?r old colt by Kincardine—Wiwini, which will be raced thisi season in the name of Te Kiwi. Closely related to the champion Kindergarten much will be expected from him on the racing tracks. NOT A SPRINTER!, At the Pakuranga meeting The Cardinal wan at a long price on *he fotalisator for the six furlongs Admiralty Handicap, backers evidently knowing that he is a better stayin- than ci sprinter. The gallop will probably have benefited liim in view of Avon dale engagements. RE-COMMISSIONED After a lengthy spell Hot Box lia3 been taken up again, and has joined A. E. Cox's team at Te Aroha. [f he stages "a come-back" he is likely to add to his winning account in due course. A COMING HURDLER Although not a success on the flat Maxown is showing fair form over the battens, and it may not be fong before lie leads a field home tn this department. SHOULD MAKE GOOD The Cambridge trained Prince Louis, a good performer as a two year old, competed at the Pakuranga meeting, and showed lii.s speed in the early stages of his oace. Somewhat above himself on the day he will be all the better for the sprint.

WAS A GOOD JUVENILE Babrow, trained at Matamata, showed to advantage in the summer, but then lost form. He is now Improving week by week and in the early spring may be again noted in Ihe winning list. RESUMING RIDING .7. Parsons, who some time back registered a fair share of winning .•ides in the Auckland province, but who more rccentjy has been engaged at sea, has returned to Ellerslie, find has applied for a jockey's license . UNDER A CLOUD After contesting the Jeliieoc Handicap at E'llerslie Gamos had a recurrence of bleeding trouble, so cannot be now counted a safe racing proposition. A WINNING TROPHY Mr James PIIII, of HiTnterviHo. ■nvner of Brandon Hall, has donated a gold-mounted whip lo go to ;h" :idcr of the next Pakuranga Huni '"up winner.

THE MONARCH In Wellington sporting circles The Monarch is iegarded as likely to win important handicap events during the early spring. A RETURN FROM AUSTRALIA After a stay in Australia for sonr? months consequent upon shipping difficulties, 'Proud Fox has returned to Auckland, and is again located at Takanini. He is quite one of the best handicap performers in the north, and as he did very little racing on "the other side" should still be a good lacing proposition.
