Nominations for the Winton Jockey Club's Annual Meeting close on' Friday. Los Gates, who won the November \urserv a* Ffetnington yesterday, is one of the batch of taken to Australia this season by Mr W. o. Stead. His dam, Los "Vegas, was also the dam of Fluency (by Demosthenes), who was a brilliant performer in Australia a few seasons ago. The jockey R. Hunt, who was so wverely damaged at the winter meeting nf tho Gisborne Racing Gub last, Juiv- is netting alongoslowry towards recovery. "He is able to hobble along with the aid of a couple of sticks.

Loucbxea and Circulation arrived at Riccarton from tho North yesterday morning, and joined Overdrawn with whom E. J. Ellis arrived from Wmgatui the previo'us evening.

F Masters arrived at Riccarton on Monday evening with Bonnie W inkle. Fulmar. Roman Archer, and Comic Song F. Shaw also put in an appearance with Mantua and a two-year-old by Clarenceux. "Other arrivals at Riccarton for the Canterbury Jockev Club's Metropolitan Meeting include foihio. Ilka. Otauru, Roval Divorce, Fool's Paradise, lanadees, Dubious, and Ma Boughal. Motlev pulled up lajne after racing at Elicrslie on Monday, and may require a spell. Backwood, winner of the Melbourne Cup Yesterday, is an English importation As a three-year-old in England he staved well, and besides several placed performances, he won the Ascot Derby Stakes run over a mile and a-half, and at a similar distance was successful m ihe Wolverton Three-year-old Plate at Manchester. On arriving in Australia last season he did not seem to strike form, and failed to gain a place in his eio-ht starts. Some improvement in Ins track work when the current season opened-, was reproduced in the lew races he contcsted,and it is quite prob.•ibJc that after his dead-heat for third place in the Hotham Handicap won bv Lilypond at Flemington on Saturdav, ho would figure at a not too liberal figure in yesterday's race over half a mile more'ground. Stand Bv, who finished second to Backwood at Flemington yesterday, had no record as a two-year-old, but Jast season was the outstanding three-year-old in South Australia. Starting by winning in hnmble , company, he finished up the season with bnlhant victories in the Port Adelaide Cup, the S.A J.C. St. Leger Stakes, and the Birthday Oup. Stand By was taken to, Sydney for the Sydney Chip last Easter,' but met with an accident in the Tocal Handicap which prevented him starting in the big event later in the meeting. , A Press Association cable message J from Melbourne says that yesterday morning Gloaming ran with The Night , Patrol five furlongs in lm 3Js. Took- | , arby covered seven furlongs in lm 31s. ] The September sales at Doncaster were really extraordinary, for out of the 366 yearlings offered by Messrs Tattersall, no fewer than 331 changed hands for an aggregate of 327.676 gummas, and eighty-seven of them realised 1000 guineas or over. The previous best sale at Doncaster was in 1960, when of those sold serenty-six made four figures or over, among these being. Blue Ensign, who sold for the record figure of 14,500 guineas. The week's business on thai occasion, however, was far below this year's total, as then the aggregate amounted to 277,060 guineas. 4 With the near approach of the Canterbury .Racing and Trotting Carnival, interest in the two sports is now very keen, and enthusiasts will find the "Weekly Press and Referee" more interesting than. ever. To the follower of form this popular paper is indispensable, and, readers will find the comments of Looker-on on the form shown by the different candidates engaged at Riccarton, very helpful. Antistnenes, Wayfarer, The Book, and Spectator aach contribute columns of reading matter of interest to everyone connected with the sport, and correspondents from all parts forward the latest items of news from one end oi New Zealand to the other. In the trotting columns readers will find a wealth orinfornwv tion in Searchlight's prospects for the coming meeting, and in Things Seen the same writer comments in interesting fashion on happenings of moment to every sportsman, while special trotting writers give full information regarding leading sires at the stud in Canterbury. . A 'Special statistician keeps readers well posted on the doings s of the leading sires, owners, and trainers" in New Zealand, while a special feature is a table showing the amounts won by the leading trotting stallions far the first three months of the present season. SCRATCHING OF ROYAL BLOOD. ! DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING. (MUSS ISSDCUTtOir TKUOSiU.) AUCKLAND, November 4. j Surprise. J* eapreased at the omission of Royal Blood from the acceptance* for the Stewards' Handicap. The owner (Mi Scholium) states that he instructed the C.J.C. fey telegram on October 24th to I accept Royal Blood for all engagements. He was of opinion that this covered the final payment due last night.

Enquiries made at the Canterbury Jockey Club's, office shows that the scratching of Royai Blood was evidently the result of a misunderstanding between "the owner of the horse and Ms bainer, "W. Kirk. The telegram received by the club on October 24th -was from W. Eirk, who telegraphed accepting for Boyal Blood and nominating l Ruapapa for the Otaio Plate. The final payment for the Stewards' Handicap was due on Monday evening, and having had so further word from the owner or trainer since the date of first acceptance (October24th), the secretary of the Canterbury Jockey Club naturally concluded that it was not intended to continue Royal Blood's engagement. A telegram was received from Mr Scholium yesterday morning stating that Eoyal Blood sad Buapap* bad left Auckland for Biccerton the previous evening. The only other race for which Boysl Blood was nominated ai nest week's meeting was the Electria Plata on tha last day

RICCARTON TRAINING NOTES The outside of the course proper, which waa open for fast work, was in good order, but not fast. Early in the morning the weather was perfect, but after breakfast a sou'-wester sprang up, and it became overcast and cold. Moorland and Winkie's Best were the first to step on to the course. They jumped off at the five furlong peg and ran together to the winning post in lm 3 3-ss. They were carrying welter weights, Winkie's Best having the lighter impost, but Moorland stayed on best. His Majesty, who was carrying a very small bov, beat Bonito over fire furlongs in lm 4 l-ss, and he is improving. Mireusonta, who was carrying a little over Sst, was to have jumped off at the six furlong peg. but he was a few strides pa3t it before getting going. He ran the five furlongs from a flying start in lm 2 4-3s, and was going strongly when passing the winning po3t. As usual the Absurd gelding was lame in front when walking back to the sheds, but it was a smart gallop. Boodieea carried a, welter weight to the'end of seven furlong 3 in lm 31s. She was picked up by Ophir after going a furlong in 12 4~.js, and they ran home together, both doing their best.

Wild Hind and Firestick carried small boys to the end of seven furlongs in'lm 31 3-ss; they did it comfortably, and it was a nice piece of work.

Hungry Hill and Retrospect were not ridden out while running nine furlongs in 2m 1 2-ss. Gold Light, Sunart, and Musketoon jumped off at the one mile and aquarter barrier together. All three carried over Bst. Gold Light set the pace about a length ahead of Sunart, with Musketoon two lengths away; and they ran in that order to the straight. Then Sunart closed ok the mare and they passed the winning post together four lengths ahead of Musketoon. They were doing their best without being unduly pressed. The time for the ten furlongs was 2m 12 4-ss, and the last half mile was ruu in 525. They pulled up well. Palcstrina was giving Tresham some weight when the pair ran nine fur'longs in 2m. They were running on, and Tresham's showing was good for a reputed non-sta\ r cr. There did not appear to be much difference in their weights, both were carrying light boys, when Clarinda, beat her half-brother, Clandhu', comfortably over sir furlongs in lm 17 4-ss. It was a smart performance. Eawene started off at half pace from the nine furlong barrier and gradually increased the pace so that the last half mile was run in 53 l-ss. She appeared to be going a trifle short.

Avola could have done better than the 51 2-5s she took to sprint half a mile. She is a well;grown and nicelooking mare. Cyrene was a shade better than Victory Bond over the same ground in 51s, with both doing their best.

Kittiwake sprinted half a mile in 525, and Jubilant had Gay Queen with her. in. a gallop over seven furlongs, run in lm 33 2-Ss.

Boucyx \va3 going better thau Bonogne, to whom he was giving a lot of weight, at the end of five furlongs, run in lm 4. 3-ss. He finished particularly well, and it was a smart piece of work.

Deucalion galloped ten furlongs with something like 7st 71b up, being brought home by Frisco. His times for the various distances were: Furlong 16s, two 31s, three 44 4-ss, six lm 245, ten 2m 17 2-ss. The last half mile wa9 covered in 53 2-os, and if it was the best the big gelding could do it was not much good. Pootfall and Starmist, carrying lightweights, galloped a mile. Footfall had his stablemate's measure a furlong from home, and beat her by three lengths, both being all out. The last six furlongs took lm 22 2-ss. Tarleton was galloping strongly at the end of one mile and a-quarter, done practically from a stand in 2m 13s. The first six furlongs took lm 20s, and, it was a very satisfactory performance. Orange Blossom could have improved upon the lm 20 2*os she took to run sir furlongs. She is growing into a nice mare.

Kukume, Lucinette, and Dame Straitlace galloped nine furlongs from a standing start. Dame StrjUtiace made the running a little in front of Lucinetto with Kukume some lengths back, but the last-named headed Dame Straitlace after entering the straight, and ran on to win easily by two lengths from Lucinette, who also ran past Dame Straitlace in the run home. The time was lm 59 2-ss, and Kukume's performance was a good one. Dame Straitlace gave a poor showing. Corinthie and Knocklyn surprised by dashing over half a mile in the brilliant time of 40 2-ss.

Suggestion, Kalakaua, and Agitato finished together at the end of a mile, run in lm 47 l-ss, but Suggestion was holding the others very easily. Bed Kriss gave a good exhibition of jumping when schooling over four flights of hurdles. Afterwards he was given a working gallop over ten furlongs. • Murihanpo, carrying over Bst, galloped six furlongs from a racing start in lm 17 2-ss. He was brought home by the two-year-old Windshield over the last half mile, the two finishing together. The first two furlongs were covered by Murihaupo in 24 3-os, and it was a very useful gallop. Tukia, who vyas carrying a light boy, looked capable of improving upon the lm 3g she took to cover five fnrlonge. The first furlong took 12 2-ss. This mare looks bright and well, and she promises to go out favourite for the Stewards' Handicap.

Bed Wink was a little better than | Giantkiller at tho end of seven furlongs, run in lm 32 3-ss. They wero carrying light weights. " ! Limelight was galloped ten fur- j longs with something like 7st 71b up. ' The first furlong took 15s, the six ! lm 21s, the last nine 2m, and the whole j journey 2m 13s. It was a disappointing performance, as the little mare, who usually rolls into her work in a« determined style, on this occasion did not appear to be at all interested in hor task. The one miie and threeqnarters sho had in the nind on Saturday may have tied Solferino's daughter up a little, but sho recovers quickly, and will do so in the four days before the Cup is nin. On Thursday Gold Light and Limelight will work together. Inferno was restricted to trotting exercise in the middle, and Last Dart, who is in physic, was kept to walking exercise. Gardenia is getting over her attack of kidney trouble. Sbo ran half a mile in 55a, and seemed all right after it. Count Cavour and Prince Feronc galloped a mile together in lm 47 2-sa. They were carrying light boys, and ran together for seven furlongs, then Connt Cavour forged ahead, and looked likely to win easily, but when Prince Perouz was stirred up he responded gamely, and Count Cavour had to be hunted along to stall him off by a head. Money Order beat Waterlow easily over half a mile, run in 50 3-ss. Money Order has a fine burst of speed. Beremoana was .holding The Banker,

with Beaming beaten off in a dasn orer the same course that took 50s. Bonhomme galloped six furlongs comfortablv in 1m 19 l-"s on the sand, and Chickwheat beat Goosestep very comfortably over the same on the course in 1m 18 3-os-Ferino was held back to Solfello while they ran half a mile in 51 3-ss. Kingcup heat Warseer and Bonatic over six furlongs in lm 20s, and Miss Garanee galloped seven furlongs by herself in lm 345. Rnnnymede, Father O'Flynn. and Beacon Light sprinted down the straight half a mile together. Enthusiasm put up the best gallop of the morning by carrying all of 9st to the end of a mile in lm 455. She was not ridden out, and she finished very strongly. Carpentier, who was carrying a very light weight, galloped a mile in lm 46 4-ss. He went at a steady pace nntil he picked up Belie and Mudlark, then the pace improved and he, with Relic, passed the winning post clear of Mudlark. T!*e Cup candidate was galloping on strongly at the finish and it was a. satisfactory performance. Cumbrae beat Horatius easily over six furlongs, run in lm 225. Mantua was given walking exercise. Her stabiemate, a two-year-old filly by Clarenccux —Marquise, was given hallpace work on the sand. Peho and Rose Amie galloped six furlongs together in lm 23 3-ss. Kuia was too good for Winkie's Rebel and French Rose iu a sprint over half-a-mile up the back that took 52 4-ss. When the three were coming down the straight, pulling up, "VVinkie Rebel's saddle slipped round, and her rider got an ugly fall, but he was not hurt. Neither was "Winkie's Rebel.

Finora, who was brought home by Liskauar over the last half mile, galloped five furlong 3 under a pull iu lm 5 l-3s. The last four took 535. Grim Joke had rather the better of a schooling bout over four flights of hurdles with Le Fort, iu which both jumped well. (Quality was a trifle tender in front after galloping six furlongs in lm 19 3-ss, and En Eoute beat Ilicro casilv over the same ground in lm IS 2-os. Bonnie Winkic, Comic Song, Eoman Archer. Fulmar and Overdrawn, who arrived overnight, were out doing easy pacing. Overdrawn is reported to be somewhat shin sore. TROTTING NOTES. The • New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club has received excellent acceptances for the opening clay of its Spring Meeting. Thirteen horses are engaged in the New Zealand Trotting Cup, including Aeron, Sheik, Taraire, Great Hope, Onyx, Realm and Blue Mountain King". An exceptionally strong field of unhoppled trotters figure in the Middleton Handicap. Amongst the horses in the list are Peter Swift, Peter Dean, Nikora, Pete Peter, Kcan John, Clonmcl, Little Logan, Lc Todd and Lackicwood, whilo in the minor events are such well-proved horses as Logan Chief, Great Bingen, ,Albeit Cling, Loganwood, Audacious, Delavan Quest, Harbour Light, Golden Devon, Pcarlie Chimes, Event, Lady Swithin, Bell Harold, John Pointer, Woodlass and Proud Ata.

Training operations afc Addington yesterday aroused a lot of interest. The track was in good order and several smart performances were registered.

Slieik (P. Riddle) covered two mile 3 in 4m 4os. the last half in lm 6s. He paced pleasingly and is expected to work fast on Thursday. A similar task was alloted Delavan Quest. He was not extended, «nd the time was not fast. Proud Ata trotted attractively ever a, mile and a quarter. J. Deyell has the son of Proudchild and Winiata in excellent fettle.

W. J. Tomkinson's Cup candidate, Realm, pr.oed two miles in 4m U7 2-ss. Adair picked him up after he had travelled six furlongs, but broke after going four furlongs, and Realm finished the journey alone. Pearlie Chimes was responsible for •a nice work out over a couple of miles. She worked well out from the rails and her time was good. Vera Logan showed speed in patches while working several circuits. Her stable mate, Lackicwood, trotted two miles at a sound pace without being extended.

Little Logan and Audominion worlced separately, but neither horse was asked to do its best.

E. J. Smith drove his Cup mare, Vilo, two miles in 4m 395, the fast four furlongs in lm 6s. She was assisted by Fancy Boy over the latter stages and both horses finished well.

Paul Dufault, who looks big, was given strong exercise over a journey without the hopples. Ho put plenty of dash into his effort and appeared anxious to extend himself. There was little between Golden Sun and Asturio afc the end of a strongly run mile.

Landlord* was seen to advantage in a fast run mile, the last quarter being run in faefc time.

Lady Irvftrg made no mistakes while trotting two miles, neither did the Australian bred mare Marion Style. Others that did useful exercise included Locanda Mac, Nikora, Queen Ida, Silver Locanda, Escort, Logwood, Comfort, Dragoon Junior, Acron, George Grafton, Red Heather, Nelson Bell, Rebel, Pinevale, and Jim Logan.
