Taboo was.brought to Riccarton on Friday night to have his only race at the Meeting on Saturday. He was in the firing line for tho greater part of the journey, and would have been bettor for cu earlier race. (j->\<± V-rick paid a surprisingly good u'viuend on Saturday in the face of running a close third on the previous day of the fixture. Tho official book erroneously credited C. Scoullar with the training of tho Solferino gelding, who has been in R. C. Keeper's stable at Orari for the past six months. TROTTING NOTES.

For the position of caretaker of the Waikato Trotting Club's course at Claudelands, 100 applications were received. Mr H. Rouse, of Auckland, was appointed to the position. Messrs H. Matson and Co. will hold their annual sale of bloodstock at Tattersall's horse bazaar to-day, commencing at 9 a.m. Tho lots to bo offered include a number of well-known trotters and pacers.

Though not so strongly represented as on some previous occasions, there will still be a fair team of Canterbury horses engaged at the. Otahuhu Trotting Club's Spring Meeting which commences on Saturday, and the majority of those engaged are quite capable of winning races. A. Hendriksen will take his Cup horse, Cardinal Logan, and a very useful performer in Daytime; F. Hoimes's stable will be represented by Tom Thumb, Pointalena, and Royal Authoress; and R. B. Berry will take Jean McElwyn and 6ea Pearl. ' The last-named usually races well on the Auckland track, but in the big race on the first day she will hare her work cut out to give a start to Cardinal Logan, while Tom Thumb, who is in receipt of 48 yards from Sea Pearl, is better than he has vet shown himself to be in public. Jewel Pointer on 24 yards behind may bo expected to keep the elect of Canterbury doing its best. He is a good little pacer, endowed with a great burst of speed, and will see the two miles' jouruey out from end to end. No fewei than AC owners shared in the prize money distributed by the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club at Addington last week, the Auckland sportsman, Mr J. L. "VVebb, heading the list with £ISOO, won by Kohara as a result of his New Zealand Cup victory. Another Aucklander in Mr M.

Price with Auguste Dillon iind Taurekareka. and J. J. Kennrrlev, who won a double with Native Chief, were the only trainers to lead in the winner of more than one race.

F. G. Holmes, who was associated with the successes of Native Chief and Daphne de Oro, drove the winners of three races, and D. Withers (Great Actress and Colene Pointer), J. McLennan (Elzear and Final McKmney), and V. Alborn (Cannonball and Golden Devon) were the only drivers to gain more than one success.
