I Acceptances for the Asliburton Trotting Club's Winter Meeting are due at 5 p.m. to-day. I Acceptances for the "Waimate Trotting Club's Inaugural Meeting are due on Thursday. PViday is the day set down for th? closing of nominations for most of the Dominion's classic races. The clubs concerned are tho Canterbury Jockey Club, Auckland Hoeing Club, Duneriin Jockey Club, Ayondalo Jockey Club. Hawke's Bay Jockey Club, Mauawatu Racing Club, Wanganui Jockey Club. Taranaki Jockey Club, and Takapuna Jockey Club. Nominations for the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club's Winter Meeting and th.» Hawke's Bay Hunt Winter Meeting close on Friday. F. E. Jones will probably leave Wei lington for Sydney on tho 19th inst. to rido Pilliewinkie and Many Kittle in their engagements. H. Nurse, R, Longley, W. G. Hobbs, and A. E. Wormald returned to Kiccarton from Dunedin with thoir teams last night. Golden Prince knocked himself about rather badly when he stifled the post and rails in the Wingatui Steeplechase and may not race again this season. Adjutor broke down during the race for the Otago Hurdle Handicap, but though still lame, had made good progress towards recovery by the end of the week. Camel Amble was cast in his box afc Wingatui on Friday and had to forego lus engagement in the Taiori Handicap on Saturday.- He was pretty lame, but has made considerable improvement during the past couplo of days. The two-year-old Paper Money filly Circulation, who met with an accidfr-nt some time ago, is still running in the paddock. Tho effects of the mishap have almost disappeared, and sho should be on hand to contest some of the spring classics. The taxes to be paid by tho Dunedin Jockey Club over its winter fixture last week'amount to £6852 19s 6d, macb lip as follows:—Totalisator tax £'2'2l3 Os 6d, dividend tax £3984 Is, stakes tax £372 10s, receipts tax £9O 17s 3d. and amusements tax £192 10s 9d. In the handicaps for the Asliburton Trotting Club's Winter Meeting, published vesterday, the name of Betty Logan in the Trial Handicap should be Biddy Logan, and in the Acton Handicap Erin's Child should be Airan Chief, The consideration shown by the starter towards Francaise on each day's racing at Wingatui came in for some adverse comment. And it was not without reason. If her conduct at the Ibarrier at the meeting mentioned is the rule with her at other meetings, it is safe to say that her nomination would be refused at most courses out-, side Otago and Southland. > Apart from this; Mi- Mclvor's work throughout the meeting was high-class. The stakes at the Dunedin Jockey Club's Winter Meeting wore fairly well distributed, the winniiig payments being as follows:—L. C. Hazlett £lll7 10s, H. Datnpier-Crossley £612 10s, W.

(SPECIAL TO "THE PE?8S."): • The though still holding, wbjs in good winter condition, and the. increased imposts in flat races, with & nine stone minimum imade np appreciable difference- is the times. The attendance was up to the average," and there was some goou racing. The "totalisator ' turnover amounted to £73,235 10s, as against £64',00i 10s, an increase, of '£9234, "making a' total for the i three ' days of #241,1?5, an increase' of ' £22,514 10a., ' There were only five starters for the Tamaki Steeplechase, Bcurn being a good , favourite. Blue Hall was first . over the , initial obstacle, and passing the stand the first, time the order was Bourn, Maniahera, Blue Hall, and Lady Cojnet, with Vociferate, who hit tho first fence on top of the. hill,; tailing the field... Blue. Hall fell at theback, and Bourn went on to win easily by ', six:- lengths from! Ladj Comet, who just beat the tiring 'Maniahera by a neck. A. McMullan, the rider of Jtaniahera;, was advised by the stewards his rnount out, but Maniahera, was very tired. Cureaform .was mads favourjte of the: thirteen- starters* in.ftfe Qrakei Hlirdje Race, and she duly pulled her backers thrpugth, after a good' contest over the concluding part of tho journey. Peter Maxwell was the early leader, and passing the stand he was 1 showing the way to Rippling and Irish Jig.. Trespass moved up fast as the back stretch was entered, but fell at the first fence there Tho favourite, who. had always been well placed, jijnvied to the front at the second fepce from nome, and though Lucullent put in a bold bid, he could not -quito reach Mr Hannon's mare, who won by » neck,, with Peter Maxwell four Jengths away third. The Yor!t Hundicup drew a, field of fifteen, the bracket, Doleful Ditty and Zircon, being the best' backed. "White Comet was first put, wit-p Ga_a Day and Zircon handy. At the five furlong post Joy Ride was with the leaders, and he and Zircon were first intp the straight. This Pftiv looked like filling the dividend places, but Yoma and Arch Aniie put in strong challenges, and in a fine finish Zircon beat Yoma by a r.eck', Joy Ride, who failed at the. finish, being two and a half lengths-away. Arch Amie wcb fourth, and Dolefnl Ditty fifth.All the horses carded went to the post for thp Winter Steeplechase. Sir Roseberry was made a pronounced favpurite, but he wa** at no stage dapgerous, his II 13 tolling a tale in the heavy going. Lleweliyn ,was showing the way to Omahu and Tuki the first time passing the stand, .j>ut the first named was running his fepcej dovin badly. Omahu jumped into the lead at five furlong p=at, but LleweLyn was again in charge going up the hill. Passing the stand tho second,time, Llewellyn, Tuki, Dick wa» Hip order, with Oxnapvi and the favourite well bac]:. This order was nfaintained over' the hill and into the straight. Licwpllyn screwed" at the last fence, and in a great race up the • straight Dick lasted the best to win by » neck from L.ewellyn, with Tuki' three and a half lengths away third. Mary Bruqe was fourth. Then in order , came Sir Roseberry. Pittsworth, Passin' Through, and Cmahu last. The lastnamed jumped in slovenly fashion over several " fences, and stmck • the first of tine double very.haid. The bracketed pair, Boomerday and Pnnco Rufus. were the popular selection in the Campbell Huidles, and Boomorday, who won this, same race last year, again won nicely, after a good fight np the straignt with' Frisco Mail. Tinckaha, as in the Great Northern rnad a the pace and led" for n good part of the journey, bua'ong tho back the second time Boomerday joined the leaders, and with Frisco Mail was first into tho straight. This pair took the last hurdle together," but Boomerday wa3 too good in the run home. Mannga anu Narrow? Neck fell. ■ , There was a field of twenty for the Visitors' Handicap.
