Mar"c* c 3 a 'l ,j pc < l a mile well within hortfl;/ ;11 .iniu illscc, and nulled ui> pound. j n( j, was goinr; as vreil as Gamecock at of five furlonprs, but he v.aa in reeejp"'! about a stone. pid was "iven half a mile at a strong p a .-. She did not lighten up on her trip. cvcral cf R. J. Mason's team were given nn ns or 1m useful tasks. Biunor was lamo ,{{ffward.'. /.on; Kangf. who is now a confirmed pj'arer, was going a* ■well as Sir Fanciful in a sprint ovr r five furlongs. Juclza and Bondage ran four furlongs together in useful time. Jiidsrti will not go to Wcllinprior. Bondage wii] racc at Timaru. , Po»t liisto and Kurinos were not asked for tfceir bes* while Tunning five furlongs together. Both :irc improving. Canarnapn wag too good for St. Winnow over half o mile, run in slow time. After brtjkfast. Link L'p beat Tyr.o over four tiirlonf.'.', while assisted by Loch Weir orcr the last sbc, ran a milo in good time, and pulled up well. C. Murray-Ayp«!ey's two Nassau gelding*?, Primun! and Starland, galloped four furlongs with Alfridus, tbouph they were not asked to extend themselves. Gay Lad and Biplane wero separately given j'.eady pacing. Punka and Winter "Cherry were galloped a mile. The pair finished together, but tho Grft-named was holding her stablemate at any stage of the gallop. Bon Spec, who was lame in front, Pyjama, and Subterfuge were given trotting exercise it the middle, after which they did half-pace work on tho track. Jfylans and Spangle were given a working jjiiop over seven furlong', vliilo Koesian, though on the bit, registered ;l smart gallop cer six furlongs. Though on tho outside. King Star found if. no trouble to beat Missouri and Jingo in that order over sis furlorgs. Ho is to be given a course of schooling over hurdles, and will raco over them at the Dunedin Cup Mooting. Fieri' Cross and Stamboul were not out to gallop, but both of them took chargo of their riders, and sprinted a few furlongs, ebowing plenty of speed. Killjoy, Glendower, and Kilrush are .back from Auckland, and arc doubtful startors fit any of tho immediate meetings. The only Riccarton-trained horses, exceptKr those already there<-that are likely fo r..;e at Wellington aro Punka, Winter C li'rry, Favorita, Tortri.v, Koesian, Sir Fan<i:"ul and Miss Mimio. •Acceptances for the South Canterbury Jociry C'ittb'a Meeting cloeo to-day. Hiero is suffering from kidney trouble. Nominations for the Taranaki Jockey Club's ■Autumn Meeting closo to-day. Only'four of Sunny Lake's. progeny have been trained in the Dominion as yet, two of them huvo raced, ono being Sun Dance, who won the Midsummer Handicap at the Auckland It.C.'s Summer Meeting, and tho othef being Murihiku, v:ho gTcat pace in the Welcomo Stakes at Riccarton. Evidently Sunny Lake, like other Sundridge horses, will do well as a sire of early two-jfear-olds. Nominations were duo yesterday for a number of important events to bo decided at tho Autumn Meetings in Australia. The ,one horse nominated with the Canterbury Club was Punka, for whom engagements were made in the Sydney Cup and Doncaster Handicap. A Sydney meaage records tho death of Obi, by Coil—Mousme, one of tho bast hurdlers of recent years; He won tho Victoria Grand National Hurdles in 1910 and 1913. It is understood (writes "Sir Modred" in , the "Southland Times") that the Southland R.C.'s starter, Mr W. Norman, experienced tho most serious trouble in his despatches at tho local Summer Meeting from southern riders, _ a faot borne out by tho lengthy fines list. The lade from Riccarton were particularly well-behaved, and escaped trouble with the exception of ono instance, vrhen ,D. Cotton (Maraa) and E. Ludlow (Subterfuge) wero fined £1 cach for not kecpintheir proper places at tho send-off for the Southland Handicap on tho concluding duy of the recent fixture. (By "Searchlight.'') Nominations for tho Marlborough. Trot tin; Club's Annual Meeting close to-day. f Tho New Brighton track is in good order at tho present time, and. is being freely used. The £ra9« track will bo opon to-morrow for horses that are engaged at tho coming Wellington Meeting. Beta Peter was one of tho early workers at Now Brighton yesterday, and was given , solid exercise over several circuits. She is engaged' at Wellington. Rota.' Huon, to tho trotting mare, Reta Petor, iaV regular attendant on the track, and is stepping out freely. Unlike her sister, she i 3 a pacer, and for a green one handles herself really well. J. Armstrong jogged several of Lis team. The majority are not being asked to do much, as they have no immediate engagements. . W. Brown gave his threc-yoar-old colt by van Coronado from Lady Linton, and a two-year-old filly by Logan Pointer long, steady exercise. Both are pacers, and aro ■ on tho improve. v Our Goldie trotted several rounds at a sound pace, while Mahinga worked without tho straps over a useful journey. Both will 'sport silk at Wellington should tho handicaps •he favourable. j Yesterday was'an off day for M. Edwards, as most of his team worked fast the previous day. Vico Admiral, with the straps on, was sent two miles. He finished strongly, and acquitted himself well. The trotter fiiw Rye moved freoiy over 6hort journeys, •ts did Rita Rosa. / , Sympathy and Beeswing, looking none the ' worn for their recent efforts, did strong half ' 'to three-quarter pace. , ■ Galioian is still' spelling, and will not be ; taken in hand until later in the season, whan the tracks are hot so hard. i Adfrlaido Direct is under orders for Aus- 1 ■'' tralia as 6oon as steamer' accommodation \ h available. VThe two-year-old 'filly by Denver Huon from Buela G. has' been taken in hand - again by M. Edwards, and is fast furnishing into a good-looking youngster. * W, Warren drove Pleasant Mount a fast ■ mile and a half with the gear on. The Wildwood Jr. mare has greatly improved in j Banners sine© entering nis stable. Irvar . . and Nancy Stair, other members of Warren's , team, were only jogged. , J. Messervoy had Miss Havoc on the ] track, but did not ask tho daughter of j 'Havoc to do much. Her _ mission is. tho ] Gold Cup at Wellington this month. i V The well-known trotting enthusiast; Mr Pv. ] 1 Dclargey, who has several horses in com-' ] mission, has taken ovoc tho Southbridgo < -Hotel. 1

(Received January 9tii, 10.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, January 9. As Desert Gold's departure for N«w Zealand has been eo long delayed, a hope is expressed in sporting circles that her owner will allow her to remain for the Rairiwic.'c Autumn 'Meeting, thereby enabling the long-looked-for test with Biplane to take place. It is 3tated that Biplane's present owner would not object, and Sir T. H. LowTy has always been eager for such a meeting.
