RACING AND TROTTING NOTES. (Br "Lookkr-Os.'M A bice rare rnootirv-X in Now Zealand without ft band would ho sometn:n£ decidedlv unusual, hut the fcl.owinc from the pen of an 'English writer shbws it U not so in England : A\ e wonder it the Jockey Club will ever rise to the occasion and give us a bit of music at Newmarket, Perhaps that would be too modern an innovation, or it might atract tho groat unwashed. Music hath charms to soothe the savajc breast, you know." Tho English Derby winner, Grand Parade, has finished racing, and is adyortisod for stud duty during tho coming season at a fee of £-100. The two-year-old Totratema, by Tho Totrarch—Scotch Gift, was the principal stake-winner during the reci<ntly-closod English season. The five races credited him carried a total of £10.951. Grand Parado was next with £3268 for two wine. At a meeting of the Judicial Committee of the Grcymouth Jockey Club, held on Monday evening, an enquiry was held into tho running of Furling in the Farewell Handicap. After hearing the evidenro of the owner, trainer, and jockey, the committee decided that no further action should be taken. L. Hagcrty was asked to explain why he broke His engagement to ride War Tax in the Farewell Handicap, his defence being tliat tho breach was not a wilful one.

Tho Greymcutli Trotting Club concluded its Summer Mooting to-day in ideal wont her For an oil day the attendance was good, ami there was plenty of monoy for fpeculation. Tho racing was interesting, sis of tho eight raoos being won by Canterbury owned aud trained homes. Tho track was in good order, and tho times registered were Ejuch better than on tho opening doy. Marietta won the County Handicap -*?ith ridiculous caacv. She was in cbajgn at the cud of a miio, and trotting evenly found no difficulty in accounting for the *-cak opposition. With J. Bryce in tho sulky Fernmoor was made a slightly better favourite U)an the coupled horses, Doreen Dillon and Lecwood, in tho Railway Handicap. Madeline acd Golden Pippin failed to strike a gait at the &tart, and toi-c:l in tho rear b'l Iho vruy. Much of tho winner's ouccces. waa duo to J. Bryoe, who hazrJlcd his charge with cscclIcnt judgment. A mixed field of paecra faocd the starter in tbe Wcstland Handicap, and at tho end of six furlongs tl-.o raoo was practically confined to Buck's Head and Miss Marion. Tho former looked all over a winner {;oing down th* back, but ovor tho last hundred yards ho elopped to nothing utid Miss Marion easily beat him at th: finish, making heir second win for tho Mooting-. May Patch, tho favourite, was not in a generous mood, and would not begin correctly. Bob Dillon and Beeswing were tho only ones scratched in tbo Grcymouth TrottingCup, which left a field of ten. It was a good betting raoe, Mario Tempest, Citadel, Mario Lloyd, Young- Star Pointer, and Admiral each being tho medium of solid sup£o.t. Maui; Tempest bogan 6morlly a:id malting no mistakes, won all the way. Sko is a four-vca"-0.-q filly bv Van Co'o from Mario Narelle, was bred by Mrs M. Duncan, of Fendalton, and is owned and trai.nori by B. .Tardea. iicd".i.:c. who iini=hcd sicond, broke on moro than' or.c occasion. She went on the outride of the- f:?!d most of tho way, and covered a lot of extra ground. Had «ho gono right f:om start to riuish sho would have befn hard to dispose of. Albert Wallace wafi always well placed. Tho son of Wallace L. finished third, well clear of those b?hind bim. Captain Rothschild, a member of J. Bryoe's team, won the Dimo'.lie Handicap in a most convincing style. His dis-luy w»« a marked improvement on that cf the opening day, no doubt due to the more erpcricnc<d driver, J. Bryce. who was in the pulky. Rose Traoey nj?nin trotted into second n!:;co, and was unlti"kv in mee'int the vi-.n'— n" his behaviour. Belgian Lad showed no pace. B'oom ?>roko rrpoatedlv a-.-.-i was called of! for bcitin? her HI. B. Jarden scored .his second win for the d»y with Doreen Dillon in -the Paparoa Handicap, after an interesting rtce with Red Prir.ce ar.d Lord Lytton, who finishrd second and third r«pecti\-ely. Doreen Dillon rut up a goad performance, her lime being the fastest winning time of tho Meeting. Red Prince did r.o* handle the too well, and was decidedly lucky in finishing second, as Lord Lytton, driven by J. ilryco, ?ot porkcted twice. With a clear run he would probablv haro won. The Victoria Park Handicap was a poor race, the favourite, Bellena, winning comfortably after making several mistakes. During the M<v>'iT?g the of T'oth«child and Lena Bell was seen under silk several tim»?, and on each occasion showed a line i turn of and only to Ucome solid to win in better company. Nine s-ccd.v mii.Ta went to tbe front in the Prcsiient's Handicap, Rcwanui, ridden bv D. Withers, winning comfortably from Lord Lyttor. ard Golden Pi-pin. Rowanui was always well placed and finished full of runnine. " Lord Lvtton stuck to his task well. He was a trifle lata in citing away, but even had he gone away to his bell he could not have won.

ENVIRONMENT. » ITS INFLUENCE ON FACIAL EXPRESSION. People nowadays realiso that their thoughts are reflected in their features. Every little thought and action has its effect in moulding our facial expression, and modern beauty doctors aro stressing this point moro every day. When we are looking tired and worn out, tho first thing our friends advise us to do is to take a holiday. An<f ■when we return they almost invariably | remark upon our improved appearance. I The fact of tho matter, of course, is that the pleasant associations of our holiday aro retained in our features. What a pity it is that our memories are so short-lived that wo soon forget the happy days that conjured up tho smiles. There is a way of assisting our memories, however, nnd thus in a measure perpetuating the holiday joyously r.pent. Have your portrait taken whilo tne benign holiday influence is still | around you. For tho sako of your friends, who irkc to sco you happy, and for yourself who can revisualiso the happy moments, this is assuredly the most appropriate time to sit for your portrait. But it must bo executed by an nrtist: ono whose perceptions and artistic skill can do justice to tho occasion. Holiday visitors to Christchurch can he suro of their portrait giving pleasure if executed by Claudo j Ring. The Claudo Ring Studio is probablv tho most up-to-dnto in New j Zealand to-d.ny. An invitation to visit) it is extended to all visitors to Christchuivh, &nd an examination of the examples of photographic art there will delight the most critical. Tako tho, lift to tho ton floor, Stewart Dawson'a Buildings, High street, or ring 'phono 3003 if ail appointment is desired. 2
