Acceptances for the first day of Uic South Canterbury .Jockey Club's Meeting will close at eight o'clock on Monday night. Tho Oamaru Jockey Club will hold its next Meeting at Wingatui on Saturday, December 17th, a date which should be very suitable for horses booked to raoe at the southern holiday Meetings. Nominations arc duo on Tuesday. The Takapuna Jockey Club's Meeting will bo commenced to-day and coyic.udcd on Mondav. Most of the fields are largo and divisions are probable in two of to-day's events, the Melrose Maiden Plate and the Takapuna Plate. Most of the stables at Riccarton have representatives at the South Canterbury Jockey Club's .Summer Meeting, and from present indications most of the horses will make the trip to Washdyke next week. F. J. McKay, who has been at Riccarton for a few months with Mr W. T. Hazlett's Southland trained horses, has gone back to Inyercargill with his team. They should be in good form tor holiday Meetings in the south. "Weights for the Auckland Cup and Bailway Handicap are due next Friday, and with their appearance considerable interest will be aroused in these important events. The form shown at the Canterbury Jockey Club's Meeting tins month wi'll bring many changes in weights compared with those allotted earlier in the season. Tlie Auckland Cup will attract more than the usual amount of attention in Canterbury this season owing to tho fact that Rapier, Count Cavour, and Footfall, three proved stayers of good class, are almost certain to bo in the iield. Jach of them has his circle of admirers, and they will add greatly to the interest of the big raoe at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. According to reports from Dunedin, there is a big chance that the three-year-old Ark Royal will be sent north to fulfil his engagement in the Auckland Cup. It has been a bad race for the three-year-olds', no. horse of that age having won since Nestor was successful, 31 years ago. Civility has been showing her old brilliancy since she returned homo to Wanganui, and apparently she was benefited by her racing at Riccarton. She is being got ready for the holiday Meetings, but it is not certain whether she -will be raced at the Auckland or. the Manawatu Meeting. The speedy Taranaki Silver Rule, who was a winner at the' Canterbury Jockey Club's Meeting, had an attack of bleeding while she was at Riccarton. There was some talk of frivjng her a spell, but she was in such good health when she returned home that the plans were revised. It is intended now to run her in tho Feilding Stakes, and her brilliancy will make her a difficult opponent for the old horses to shake off. .

TROTTING NOTES. The thorough enjoyment of the racing at Forbury Park yesterday was mado - impossible owing to a gale of wind that searched every nook and corner of the course. The forco of the wind was something to be remembered. It overturned the substantial garden seats scat-, tered about the lawn, and hats were 'blown in all directions. The gale had eeribus consequences for Mr Geo. Mason, caretaker of the course. While remov- ' ing a table from one part of the ground to the other ho was caught by the force of the wind and thrown heavily, being rendered unconscious, besides suffering injuries to the head and -shoulders." Up till last evening he had not regained consciousness. Dalnahine is a much improved horse since going into J. Henderson's stable at Oamaru, if one is to judgo by his latest performance. At one stage of his career he 4 was not generally regarded as brilliant, but when he made' his dash for the front yesterday he showed a great burst of speed. He looks the part now, and is evidently going to qualify for the best class races. Always in a handy position ho could have taken the lead at any stage. He is one of the Brent Locahda breed, and may be expected to improve with age. Bonny Logan's showing in the President's Handicap yesterday suggests that she is quite capable of running out a two-mile journey, and is not merely the sprinter many imagine her to be. It seems that seriously trained for a two mile race she will do even better than she did on this occasion. She is a good sausible mare and not given to doing any more than is asked of her in a race. Acre hardly lived up to tho good opinion previously formed of him when he failed to run into a place in the Caversham Handicap. In a good position early, he quickly lost his placo and gradually drifted back. Three furlong 3 from home he put in a good run on ihe outside of the field, a 'fact that served to show that ho will have" to be considered in near engagements. Quality, winner of the Caversham Handicap, claim's half blood relationship •to Cardinal Logan, and all through sho paced like a really good one. This mare, a bit unreliable on the mark in some of her earlier engagements, has now settled down and looks likely to turn out a' good racing proposition. It ■was C. Donald's patient handling that had much to do with her success. Pointalena finished third in the Caversham Handicap, and though there was nothing of outstanding merit in his J performance it seems to suggest that he is approaching something like his best form. Two miles, however, seems just a bit far for him, but Holmes would not have persevered with him so long had he not been given some encouragement to do so. It would be hard to imagine more uninteresting racing than that witnessed in the Eoslyn Handicap and Progress- * ive Handicap at Forbury Park yesterday. Sid Wilkos had the formor event won from the start, and was so far ahead all through that little enthusiasm was raised excepting by backers of the winner. In the Progressive Handicap Firebrand and Stockade Junior had the race to themselves, and a short tussle botweon the pair at the finish. provided the only exciting incident. | General Bingen was backed as if un- ] beatable in the St. Kilda Handicap, and he had every chance to make good for, well placed all through, he was close

to the leader at the straight. Desborough, however, had too much speed and it did not seem that General Bingen stuck to his guns quite so resoluteJy as he might have done. Desborough, though unsound always and distinctly lame when he returned to the scale, is a good fast pacer and, with the sting out of the ground, must always be held in respect. He is by Logan Pointer from Lily F, a good race mare some years back. The starting at Forbury Park yesterday was by no means good, for after the totalisator had been balanced there seemed to be unnecessary delay in preparing the horses for the send off. It was noticeable that horses became restless arid failed to strike their hopples as I hey should have done. The chances of a good number of starters were ruined on account of mistakes made at the barrier. Though the track had dried wonderfully well after the recent heavy rains, times at Forbury Park were not fast, and this is accounted for by the fact that, going down the back stretch eacli time the horses had to face a terrific gale. It was the wise driver who realised the advantage to be derived over this part of the journey, and several races were won through drivers allowing others to break the wind. Half way through the racing dust was flying, and the water-cart had to be utilised. Ingle Bingen's exhibition of trotting in the Dominion Handicap'was excellent once she got under way. She lost ground at the start, and at one stage was giving Young Blake a start. She was very patiently handled and outpaced Young Blake over the latter part of the journey. Young Blake found some difficulty in negotiating the bends, and a break cost him many lengths. The victory of Lady Embrace, driven by H. Gnskill, was a popular one, although she was one of the outsiders of the field, and paid a double figure dividend. At Addington earlier in the month she had shown signs of being near the top of her form, and a few of the visitors to Addington remembered the promise she had shown. FORBURY PARK T.C. DALNAHINE WINS PRINCIPAL EVENT. (press association telegram.) DUNEDIN, November 25. The Forbury Park Trotting Club's Spring Meeting was opened in fine but windy weather, and before a large attendance. The track was in good order.

NOTES ON THE RACING. The Roslyn Handicap was as uninteresting a race as it would be possible to imagine. Half the horses engaged made mistakes at the start, and every one of them broke more than once during the running. Sid Wilkes was in front bright and early, and while most of the others were prancing on the mark McLennan took the opportunity to get a substantial break on the field. Passing the stand the first time Sid Wilkes was ten lengths in front, and the advantage was not lessened as the race progressed. Several times the leader broke, but McLennan had plenty of time to get him into his stride again. Len Wood, after a poor beginning, soon ran into second place and beat the remainder as easily as Sid Wilkes beat him. There was little merit in Jades' third placing, and Dolores was too unsteady in her gait to ever have a chance. Nelson McKinney went a solid race, but the strong wind blowing affected the majority oi the starters. It was a poor race. Just Wins. The Progressive Handicap was an interesting race between two, and Firebrand won as a result of the good race driven by O. E. Hooper. Stockade Juu. quickly assumed the lead and he led past the stand the first time, with Firebrand second and Dahlia Dillon third. The order was the same for the rest of the journey, but the fact that Stockade Jun. had to do all the pace-making found him out over the last furlong. In the straight Firebrand made his effort and just got up in the last few yards to win by half a length. Nelson McElwyn went a good race all through, but was well back at the end of another uninteresting race. Sadie Huon misbehaved herself at the start, and was never dangerous, and there was little in the form of the others to encourage hope that they will win against the company they are now set to meet. Useful But Unsound. General Bingen was made a very warm favourite for the St. Kilda Handicap, and he had every chance. Omaha soon raced to the front, with Desborough, Four Bells, and Jolly Chimes, following. This was the order until three furlongs from home, when Omaha tired and Desborough went off in front. By this time General Bingen had run into third place, and he soon disposed of Omaha. Desborough easily held his own in the straight, and won rather nicely from tho favourite, with Dr. Dillon finishing fast in fourth place. The winner is a more than useful pacer, but unfortunately is unsound, and was distinctly lame on returning to the enclosure. He was .patiently ridden by his trainer, J. F. O'Connell, who kept his mount in a nice position throughout. Lady Embrace broke up at the start, and took no part in the race, and the remainder were never dangerous. A Narrow Victory. In the Spring Handicap Avalanche put such a break on the field in the early stages that the result seemed a foregone conclusion, but after leading for a mile and a half he tired badly, and was one of the last to finish. Over the concluding stages the race was full of interest, for Underviewer led into the straight, and was challenged by Swiftbine, who had gone unsteadily throughout the race. Just before reaching the post Underviewer broke and Swiftbine gained a narrow victory. Nothing in the race showed as much speed as Randolph, but he broke twice and on each occasion lost a lot of ground. Nelson Ata made many mistakes, but in patches showed himself possessed of a lot of speed. The betting in the race was remarkably 'oven, and even the favourite was paying a good price to win. Dalnahine Triumphs. The President's Handicap was contested by all the acceptors excepting Taurekareka. Author Jinks was made a slightly better favourite than Away and Dalnahine in a good betting race. Bell Harold was at once taken to the front, and carried on the running with Downcast,' Dalnahine, Bonny Logan, Trenand, Trampfast, and Away following. This was the order commencing the last circuit, but two furlongs from home Dalnahine shot away from the bunch, and had several lengths' advantage" coming into the straight. He had to be kept moving to stall off a determined challenge by Author Jinks, who lost ground at the start, and was well back for the greater part of the journey. Dalnahine won like a really good racehorse, and the Dunedin owner, Mr J. M; Samson, struck a rare bargain in the Brent Locanda horse, whose latest victory, on top of his win in the Oamaru Cup, has more than paid his purchase money. Bonny Logan, always in a Jjood position, stayed out the journey better than expected, and over the last bit was disputing the lead with the favourite, Trenand was going solidly until he broke half a mile from home, and Fight Ever broke up badly at the start and tailed the field throughout. He looks well, and with any luck in his next start should take all sorts of beating. Trampfast went a good race without ever being very dangerous, but Away was a disappointment. He had every chance to make good, but failed badly when a real effort was required. Dalnahine was bred by the Southland sportsmen, Messrs Stephenson and McMath, eventually -passing into the hands of Mr H. A. Jarden, who passed him on to his present owner, Mr J. M. Samson.- More valuable races will yet be annexed by Dalnahine, a genuine pacer who is particularly good in heavy going.

Quality Scores. Desert Star set out to win the Caversham Handicap from end to end, and he led till within 50 yards of the post, when Quality, who had always been well placed, came with a dash to score a narrow victory. The runner-up used up his reserve strength in the battle against the gale down the back each time, while Quality was driven with much better judgment. Fashion Queen had every chance, as she started smartly, and was with the leaders ■ early in tie race, but had no chance with the winner over the last half. Quality, who is a half-sister to Cardinal Logan, is improving rapidly, and can be expected to win more races in the near future. On this occasion she stuck to her task in the gamest manner possible, and her victory, if not easy, was a comfortable one. Acre was favourite, but was kept too far away from the leaders. Three furlongs from home he put in a very fast run. He will do better ere long. Evelyn Locanda broke several times during the race, and at no stage did she appear to be going satisfactorily. Lingfield went a solid race, but was a good way behind the leaders at the finish. A Slow-Bun Eace. When half the distance in the Dominion Handicap had been covered Young Blake looked an almost certain winner, but a bad break on the turn going out of the straight cost him a dozen lengths. This ground he made up with a fine burst of speed, but he did not appear at all happy on the bends, and Tomkinson drove him wide each time. He was forced to pick up his ground down the back stretch in the teeth of the gale, and this left him with little in reserve at the finish I Ingle Bingen lost ground at the start, but thereafter trotted soundly, and was always kept in a handy position. She was'not asked for a supreme effort until the straight was reached, and then she fairly out-trotted the back-marker, who was under pressure over the last fur-

long. Herfeilwyn was the early leader, but the wind in the back stretch pulled him up very effectively. Proud Ata went well for a mile and a half. Nighborn faded out rather unaccountably just when he was expected to make things interesting, but Frisco Beau broke up and went a disappointing race, as did Engagement. Little Logan went a solid race, and is worth keeping in mind for engagements in the near future. The time was very slow, and the winner, handicapped on 4.42, was only required to do 4.51 2-5 to win. An Easy Win. Bob Logan was made a slightly better favourite than Terence Dillon for the Dash Handicap, and Avenger was the only other seriously backed. The race was in a measure spoilt by the mistake by Terence Dillon, Avenger, Menember, and Event at the start, and none of these was prominent in the race. Lady Embrace was the first out, and making all her own running, still had sufficient in reserve successfully to deal with a strong challenge thrown out by Bob Logan. Gaskill, behind the winner, drove a very confident race, and his mare evidently had a good deal in reserve at the finish. Haunui lost his position early, but showed a lot of speed towards the end.
