Acceptanccs for the Wellington Summer Meeting close on Thursday. Vagabond has been scratched for all engagements at the "Wellington Summer Meet ing. Miss Mimic and Sir Fanciful -will not take part at the "Wellington Meeting. At Riccarton yesterday a large number of horses were exercised at the five furlong bariier. Royal Stay, who went sore shortly after the New Zealand Cup Meeting, is in work arain. M. Hobba has not decided when he will depart for Trentham. Flight Commander and Sans Souci, who were added to the list nearly two months ago, have done well since, and are to resume work 'when. M. Eobbs returns from the "Wellington Summer Meeting. C. Emerton, who is suffering _ from a polsored foot, was not able to ride Surveyor in tho Feilding Stakes on Saturday last. It is thought that ho will be well enough to resume riding at Timaru on Thursday. For some.unaccountable reason Croesus was" sent out a better favourite than Surveyor in the Feilding Stakes, and the dividend paid by the Nassau colt came as a pleasant surprise to his many supporters. The NassauPedometer colt has started in six rnce3 to date, and been four times first i • second, and onca unplaced, his total earnings being JE2300. ■»r.. Trr A Cn-.--.-1 J- ~ ~ landicapper for the Riverton Racing Club's Annual Meeting at. Easter time. Tho. Riverton Racing Club has decided to increase the stakes for its Annual Meeting fiom £2300 to £3000. .News comes fiom Southland of the death mjuues ltctivea xicuu u kick. xjks 6uu of Multitorm and Rattler was a high-claua racoliorso, and in 19n, racing in tue interests of Messrs W. Cr. auU ii. Ij. Stead and O. JJ. Greenwood, lie won tho "VVanganui Jockey Club's Jackson Slakes, and at the C.U.C. Metropolitan Meeting, the same year, he was successful in the Acw Zealand Cup, Metropolitan Handicap and Canterbury Cup. ViceAdmiral sired some promising perlormers, Admiral Talbot and Red Admiral being amongst the number, and during the past two seasons some well-bred mares have Deeii mated with him. Tho "Southland Times" eaya:—Some doubt exists in tile Eastern District as to tho dates of the Gore Racing Club's Summer Meeting and the annual gathering of the Goro Trotting Club. When it was understood that the Gore R.C.'s Meeting would only extend over one day the Core Trotting Club authorities contemplated racing on tlie day following. The Gore R.C. have now been asked by headquarters to prepare a programme for a two; days' fixture, for use in tne event of a curtailed day being restored, and this move has left the Trotting Club people in a quandary as to vhe best steps to take under the circumstances. The Gore T.C. have been doubly unfortunate during the current season, their Boxing Day date having been lost owing to the influenza epidemic, and now a state of further uncertainty besets them. (By "Searchlight.") Acceptances for the Wellington Trotting Club's Annual Meeting close on Friday. Nominations for two trotting events, to be decided at the Methven Racing Club's Annual Meeting, close on Saturday.
