RACING AND TROTTING NOTES. (Br "Eooker-On.") The early brigade had tho best of the conditions at Riccarton yeeterday. After breakfast there was, a strong nor'-wester, v;bicb assisted towards, faster timee, though ths dust was very unpleasant. t Indue had a companion over the last threo oi four furlongs, which he ran in 51 3-sth see. Margerino galloped a mile in lmin 48 3-sth eec, and could have done better. Larissa i followed over six furlongs 'in lmin 17 3-sth Beo. Long Range was a little belter than- Sir Fanciful in a bout over six furlongs, run in lmin ,19sec. Miss Mimic ran down from ~ tho three furlong mark in 37 l-sth sec, St. . Winnow taking. 37 2-sth sec. Adjutant's task was nine furlongs, -which lie''covered in 2min leec, finishing well. Bondage covorcd seven furlongs in ' lmin 34seo, going more resolutely than usual. Judraa, after a leisurely furlong, finished up half a mile in 53eec. Matty ran five furlongs in lmin. 4 1-sth sec. Euripos was not doing his best over seven furlongs, and Post Haste sprinted half a mile- in 51 2-sth sec. Hylans was going well at tho end of sis furlongs, run in lmin 19 2-sth eec. Gamecock, galloped -seven -.JJeiro joining in for sis and Sea Blue for the last half-mile. The full distance occupied lmin 32 2-sth eec, and it was a fair effort, as Gamecock was carrying a good weight. After breakfast Link Up was too good for Loch Weir while running five furlongs _in - lmin 4 3-sth sec; Jeannot and Tyne following over a mile in lmin 47sec. . Stamboul and tho sister to Hornbeam Tan six furlongs in lmin 19,- 2-sth sec. Subterfuge did strong work over a mile. Algidus was too good for Primum and St'arland in a. five furlong sprint, run in lmin 5 3-sth sec. Kilrush- 'sprinted five furlong* in lmin ' 8 3-oth eec, and Daytime half a mile in 43 4-sth sec, but the wind was assisting the horses very much at this etag4. Moriaca and Kaminohe both showed a lot ; Vof dash when turned into the jumping ring separately, and they may-do well as hurdlers. King Star and Sport jumped' the pony liurdlea smartly on Wednesday. Biplane has been shipjied to Sydney, where his new owner resides. • He prominent American owner,'Mr W.- S. ■ ' Kilmer, contemplates trying his luck in:Eng- ' land this year;, and. it ie probable one ;of his representatives will be Sun Briar, who —as ' credited with doing lmin 34sec for' tho mile at Saratoga subsequent to 'Roajner putting up a record o! lmin 34 4-sth sec. Sun Briar's time was not officially certified, but hie owner * believes him to bo the fastest miler in the ■worWXSun Briar is a four-year-old, by Sundries from Sweet Briar,, and'was bred in England. •

It-i» evident that the We«t Australian Turf . QhlbV stipendiary stewards' are of opinion there are times when- it is- advisable for a J6ok«y to adopt the crouch "seat, or, at any keep as low down in the saddle as possible. After the Jumpers' Flat Raoe on \ths. ; \third s day- of the .Perth Cap Meeting .th^v spoke .to Watts, rider of YoVumcn,' for ' stiijiSig. -up' in thestirrupa when the wind was igainet .him. during the running of the .■ rape.

The Wellington Trotting Club's Annual Meeting will be held to-day. During the past twelve months the Club has made considerable improvement to itg property, and thetrack, which is a grass one, is reported 4-i ®ood orderN The acceptances are sjUsfgctory, and some interesting trotting woold be witnessed. Th» principal race, the new Zealand Trotting Gold Cup, of 450 sovs, lor horses that, can do 4.48 or cotter for two nuts, has drawn a useful field of ten. acceptances have been received y *9° Forbury Park Trotting Club fox the apening day of its Summer Meeting. The Pnncipal race, the Dunedin Cup, has drawn ' iu??J ee 2.,. acc ®P tolß ' including Moneymaker, ' Trix Point « r . Nancy Stair, Stockade, and Shanghai. The class ■"•■S'M m the minor events is good. THE VICEROY'S CUP. INDIAN SPORTSMAN AFTER ' GLOAMING. ©y Cable.—Pro&s Association.—Copyright.) V ipt SYDNEY, January 23. V- ■ Ul ®, Snn" states that an Indian sports~aa, has commissioned Mr John Hardie to purchase, a horße capable of winning the next , viceroy's Cup. His choice fell on KennaquWolaroi, or Gloaming. The owners.of * w> first-named horses refused his offers, «d'it is unlikely that they will bo tempt(jfi*o sell. Gloaming may change hands if ■- -goffer for him is high enough. An offer - 10,000 guineas may be made for him. Viceroy's Cup, the leading race of ■ "is.lndi&n turf, is decided on Boxing Day, cv ® r a mile and three-quarters, at weight-for- ■ , age.. - mentioned in the cablegram iB improbable. Even though Kennaquperformed horses W i-Australia; and Gloaming has proved "hixn- ■ a good oaa uo ta * iuilo and • half, it

is more than likely that ao offer of 10,000 guineas would bo accepted by the owners of any of the throo horses mentioned. Gloaming's form certainly suggests that he is a high-class .racehorse, but the first time he was forced along over the first part of a race he had to strike his colours, viz., to Sasanof iu the Stead Memorial Stakes, of one mile and a quarter, run at Riccarton in November last. Ho is certainly a brilliant sprinter, and it may be that his best form j remains to be shown, but 10,000 guineas is a huge price to pay, and probably a deal could be effected at much less than that sum. As Gloaming is a gelding, he is quit© useless as a stud proposition. WELLINGTON R.C.'S SUMMER MEETING. x ' (press association- telegrams.) WELLINGTON, January 23.
