MurrayAynsley's team.:; It *is reported from Dunedia that 3. Lindsay lias purchased the Solferico gelding Eoseday from J. Richardson. It is nnder'stood that tho price. -was in the vicinity of four figures. At the Waverley Racing Club's Meeting on Saturday,- L. G. Morirs rode the winners'bf five races and was second in;', the-' other two, backers of his mounts receiving a dividend in every race. Admetus, who won the King's Plate, iii which Te Kara recently ran third at Brisbane, was ridden by George Young. An Australian exchange says that racegoers were not much impressed by J. O'Shea's riding of To Kara, in this race. Kilris is at present enjoying a spell. . She will not be placed in commission again for a fow weeks, and in the meantime A. E. Wormald's teanTwill comprjso only-Vouto and Tcnterfield, with the possible inclusion at an early date of Giantkillcr, who has had a spell in the paddock. , At the Masonic Hall, Newmarket, early Jast month, Mr Richard Marsh, formerly the King's trainer,-was presented with a cheque; for £3435, together with an album bearing the following inscription:—"Presented to Richard Marsh on tho occasion of his retirement after fifty years' training at Newmarket. 1875—1925." In making the presentation, Sir Walter Gilbey said that Mr Marsh had. raised the standard of trainers in England, He was not only a vory great trainer, but ho had the esteem and honour of all his fellow-trainers. Conditions for training operations at Riccnrton on Saturday wero none too pleasant, but a fair amount of useful work was done 6a tho No. 1 grass. The only intcrcstuig items of the morniijg were schooling tasks by Lord Ashlea (A. G. Campbell) and Grim Joke (I. Tilson). Each did his work alono, and the former gave a. fair display over two circuits of tho steeplechase fences. His jumping improved as tho pace was put on at tho obstacles in the/ second _ round. Grim Joke showed a disliko for the first of tho double and baulked at" the first attempt, but eventually went aver safely. Apart from the doiiblo, the other fences woro cleared fairly elf nly. Tho entries for tho classic events on tho Canterbury Jockey Club's programmes aro entiroly satisfactory, and for all evonts a total of; 717 has been listed,- The numbera for tho various events are as follows, those for last year being given in parentheses:— Welcome Stakes 70 (78), Middle Park Plato- 84 (70), Champagne Stakes 86 (08), '34 th Challenge Stakes 179 (805). 35th Challenge Stakes 117 (105), New Zealand Derby 122 (121), and New Zealand Oaks 59 (55). Tho figures for tho 34th Challcnga Stakes'show a drop merely from the fact that this year the entries taken wore, for. yearlings only, * entries, fo.r horses of all ages having beon'takoiv -vParth, who has boen struck'out of all , engagements in England, left training Juortow last .month, to -take up stud utlos4n Prance, whera he will atund at tho stud of his owner, Mr Macombor, in Normandy.
