As a result of hie. three successes at Ellerslio and one at Avondale, J> Barry has again placed himself second in tho list of winning jockeys. _ It. Reed is first with 64 wins, tlien follow J. Barry 53, It. Gray o2J, and C. Emerson 00. These four -aro a long way ahead of the remainder, who are headed by I/. G. Morris with 35 wins to his credit and J. Beale with 33J. D. AA'atts, with five wins, was tbo

most successful apprentice riding during the holiday period. This brought his total for tho current season to 24

■ wins and a dead heat. This places hiili second on the winning apprentices' list to Sv. H. Jones, who, with two successes during the past ten days, brought his total to 31 wins and. & dead heat. The Hawera trainer, O. Cox, is having a great season, and with a likelihood of further successes before tl\e sen son closes should maintain his position at the top of the tr*c. His 23 wins so far this season have been gained with such good, stake-earners as Lady Cavendish, Reremoana, and The Banker. The other winners turned out"by Cox were Sir Pam, Solferangc, aud Euphonium. Information received in Wellington is to the effect that Eighteenpence, who was Bold to an Australian buyer, lias had a yery successful run on the other side. She won. six iacfea_ at country meetings in New South "Wales, and was then retired to the stud. Entered ■in the brood mare class at the Sydney Jloyal Show she won first prize, with Mr R. Wootton as judge. Eighteenpence is by Nassau from Gareton, aiiid when carrying J. B. Pearson's colours ill Canterbury before going to Australia.

The Hawk has been nominated for the Hawke's Bay Ctap and tho Ormond Memorial .Gold Cup. In the entries for 'the latter event Gloaming also appears. and a meeting between tie t'.v-t* should make the fixture toe most satisfactory one for mpny years., • The entry, for the Hawke's Bay Cup includes Quiescent, The Hawk, Bcptca Mixture. Haze, Gaze, Hauranzi, Tlieic, Fool's Paradise, Dazzling light Malitour, Good- Sport. Simonette, Megan, Tanadees, Dissertation, Polly Peachum, , Kilfaire, Bonena, Duo, andi Clandhu, and from these a really good field should go to the post. . ,

Mr 0. L. Kasper has sold the pacing mare Rose Pointer to Mr R. A. Armstrong, of Wellington. In future she . will bo trAined by S.M. August. Direct Tod and Brigand have left B. Garden's stable and in future will be trained by J. Lorgelly. Both horses ; ivcre imported from America some time <igo, ibut have not been successful since racing in New Zealand. Misfortunes . Kayo been responsible for their not haying showij their trUe form. Jack Jennings, one of the leading.joolveyß in France, who now rides for the stablG of Harry Count, has, in consequence, to' live at Chantilly. He for- ! • meriy resided at Maisons I.affitte, where, apart from his profession, he , made a name for himself in social welfare work, using his influence nntl nurse to make the stable lads' life nappy and keep them out of mischief . as well. In 1910 he founded the Racing Stables' Institute at Maisons Laffitte, and from a modest beginning - the institute lias now becotne 3 really

first-class club, where all connected ■ With racing atables —from the highest to the lowest —can meet in their spare „ moments. Library, reading-room, buffet, billi&rds room, and gymnasium—everything has been thought of. Jennings lias since started a similar insti- , tute Chantilly on a smaller scale.

A most remarkable orange, in the Turf from tho days of n\y early maiihoodis the number of ladies whoi now own racehorses, and also attend racing, compared-with the past (says '' Audex" in VHorse and Hound'ln 1884, for instance, even on a big day at Newmarket, not more than thirty or forty of tho fair ser would hs.ve been present, and,but two had their colours registered, vir.., Lady Cardigan ("blue, white and red stripes, white sleeves; black cap"), and Mr "Manton" (' scar]fct s, V The latter name was tlie nom

de course of Caroline Duchess of Montrose, who owned muiy good horse which had been left her by her Seconal husband Mr Crawford; but Lady digaii never ran anything of ll0 "f' Going tlirough AVeatherby s Racing Calendar" for 1924 I -find no fewer tbatt 230 Indies with colours, truly a■ ™" markcblo increase. Added to tins, many of them not only bet hea.vi.y but are also extremely sound judges oi form.

In Irelaud, in 192-4, the total 'P lls s" ■monev for flat races was an for {1)066 over hurdles and lences £-52 873 Tlie average for the Bit races was. about £136 each, and for thoie over the jumps -£133. It evidently pays as well to' own a jumper as a nat racer in Ireland.

Particulars tearing 011 the Liverpool <irand National Swenlecliase at Aintreo on the 27th ult. show that of the 33 starters only nine completed tho course. A cablegram states that, though run in brilliant sunshine aiiil under tbo best turf and general conditions for the past 32 years, the race once more revealed how severe are tho obstacles, notnblv Bcecher s Brook ati<l Valentine's. Tho9e who saw the jumps for tbo first time were astounded to find them so formidable. Commenting on the Liverpool Grand National contest, the "D-nilv Express'' say? that, though tho result produced thousands of sorry hearts, it was one of the most wonderful races in living mcniory. The rare provided a thrilling -finish. Major AViison. t\lio is an amateur, steered the winner, Double Chance, who was well backed. Major AViison rode with a fractured collarbone, due to a bunting fall, r,nd which was injured afresh . a fortnight previous while he was racing at Cheltenham. The injury was strapped up just before the race by a specialist. Major AA'ilson received -in exceedingly enthusiastio ovation. It was his first ride over the Aintree course.

i THE ROYAL ARCADE CASE.

i to thz iditob or "thi russ." j Sir, —In your issue of the 17th inst. [ you publish a report of a case, Alfred i M. Hill versus Charles Ireland, in ro- ■ speet of the horse Koyal Arcade, disqualified after his purchase, by Hill , from Ireland.

j In tlie course of your report Kelsey ! is dlleged to' have stated that ' '.He had j enquired from the Trotting Association I why Ireland had been disqualified/' but tfie Association would not tell him, and the disabilities had not been lifted, j Before he mado the purchase lie went j to a representative of the Trotting As- ! sociation, who told him there was nothing to prevent him from buying tho horse. He bought the hors.e, and the .Association accepted the transfer"; I aud, later, you report that the Magistrate "commented upon the Trotting Association's action in not telling Kelsey why Ireland had been disqualified." So far as the Association isi concerned, the facts are these:—

; In June or July last W. Kelsey was j negotiating to purchase Royal Arcade from C. Ireland, of Methven. Kelsey is believed to have .bcCn in Christchurch from May to August. He callod at the office, and, as far as can be remembered, he asked if he could the horse, and if a transfer would be granted. Thero was nothing to prevent him buying the horse. At this time Clias. Ireland's case was being enquired into. Kelsey seemed to be under the impression that Ireland would bo disqualified, and re--fcrred to that possibility. No member o£ the clerical staff had any information they could give, as tfee Board was dealing with the case, and making enquiries. No decision luul then been come to. ■* Kelsey quite understood the position, because only a fev days ago he stated ho realised t'uti Association could tell him nothing, as he had been informed at thp time (not by any member of my staff, I should :;aj ) that Ireland might, be disqualified. Kelsey also clearly knew he was buying the horse at his own risk. As soon as the Board came to its decision the same was published iii the report of the proceedings in all -local papers, including your own, and was at once notified iq ' the / Official Calendar, the "N.Z. Referee, '' as provided for by the N.Z. Rules of Trotting. , . The Association has not "accepted the transfer," as Kelsey is reported as having stated in evidence. Ho lodged tho application with a member of the staff, and it came up in due course at the first meeting of tho Board for consideration, but the transfer did not ~gb J through.

After the Board had come to its deck sion, Mr A. M. Hill was sent advico t6 his address in Auckland that Charles Ireland had been disqualified, and that Royal Arcade, being owned by Ireland at tho time of liis offence, was not qualified to start under the New Zealand Rules of Trotting. Had a member of my staff been called in tho case, a deal of misapprehension might have been avoided.—Yours, etc., J. B. NORRIS, Secretary, N.Z, Trotting Association. ' Christchurch, April 20th.

Miller's Kia Ora • Stud, New South "Wales, of DemoSthenos, -who, when racing in England, wap a high-class racefliorso, and when imported to New Zealatd by tha late Mr (i. P." Donnelly became one of the best sires in the Dominion for some time. Demcsthenai camo from a highly successful line, being by Desmond, a eon of St. Simon, from Carlin, by br Petiarch —Ambuscade, fmra Crossfire, a daughter at Vedette. It was little wonder that with such high breeding, backed by "merit as a racehorse, Demosthenes should iquicklv rtaoh the head of the winning siios' list," whioh ho did after his stock liad been racing h:t« only four seasons. In their iirst eeison on tho Turf in New Zealand hit soris rpid daughters put, together £2825, and in tho second season he \w.s- third vn tho lat with £8753 bssids his name. Ho :05c fco second pluce in his third «sa?.cn with £16,498, and in tho next amassed the fine total of £?7,756. iCia rext Iwo seasons netted i' 24,699 and £19,530 rfspcclively. He was sold to go to Austialia fcr 5000 guineas a few seasons ago, but, apart from Golden Voice, had not kept up the reputation he established here. Ho produced two-year-old winners, but his name is more leadiiy recalled when riier-tion is made of such good stayers aS Amvthas, Karo, Gasbag. Afterglbw, and Dui. Amylhas -;an efcsily be placed, on a plane with the greatcat hopses ever l-aced in the Dom'nion. Demoft-thent-s also left a host of other good petformers, including Deuoa.lion, Radiant Light. Hetaua, Truthful. Simonides. Demos, Impediment, Delight, Dialogue, and Early Uawn, H« also left successful hurdlers and cross-country horses, of which Chrysoitoin and Kiplin j may be mentioned. Haze, who ha>? recentlv registcrsd a' sequence of 6etfe onds without being fortunate in winning k liice, is a son of Demosthenes, and the successful Auckland-trained two-year-o;d King's Speech is another. It is rather early to say that Demosthenes will not yet have something representing him in Australia, quite as good as his Tirsgenv have been in New Zealand, for he has had good opportunities at Mr Miller's stud. He cot Go!den Voicenow a three-year-old—in his first season in Vus'ral ; a and tliouch a not altogether Suva foaJ-gcttcr, his death will be a heavy loss to his owner who, it. is stated, paid £OOO guineas for him.
