Nominations for the Hurunui Turf Club's Meeting on Boxing Daly close with the secretary on Tuesday. The owners of Thorndalo must now consider themselves fortunate that there was no bid for tho gelding when lie was submitted for -sale during the New Zealand Cup week. Since then he lias won two races of the value of £270, and is likely to earn more money. Green Cloth ran a good raco for her new owner in tho Otaio Handicap, and the Choke-bore cast-off should be a good proposition for minor events afc the southern holiday meetings. She is now an inmate of S. G. Ware s stable The two-year-old gelding Island Fastness was taken to Timaru by F. D. Jones to compete in the Juvenile Handicap, but ho got away from his attendant on the ■ Washdyko tracks yesterday morning and suffered sever© injuries by coming in contact with a gate. This necessitated his withdrawal from his engagements. Gold Mint again disappointed yesterday at Timaru, after' occupying a prominent position at the top of the straight in the Otaio Handicap. This was nis thirteenth race this season for one second and two thirds and £2O in prize money. He will be given another opportunity in tho Levels Handicap to-day, and the shorter distance may suit nim.

Koauau ran badly at Timaru yesterday, and has not been paid up for to-day.

Sir Boy made a poor showing in the big race at the South Canterbury Meeting yesterday, and was always one of the rear division. His form was hard to understand in the face of his win at Riccarton last month and his good track work since. Ark Royal was the unlucky contestant in the Teschemaker Handicap at Timaru yesterday. He got into

trouble shortly after the start, and was several lengths behind the leaders "" at the home turn. From this point he gradually improved his position, and only succumbed by the narrowest of margins. With a favourable run he have recorded a comfortable victory. Battlement did not disgrace himself by his effort in the principal event at Timaru yesterday. Ho was in a good position behind the leaders at the turn lor home, and then seemed to lose it,, nut he came again in the straight, and was galloping as well as anything in the race at the finish. Rascal flattered his supporters for the greater part of the journey in the Teschemaker Handicap at Timaru yesterday, but stopped badly in the last furlong. The mile journey in the big handicap to-day will suit him letter.

Front Rank appeared to be a winner of the Teschemaker Handicap at Timaru yesterday nearing the post, but lack of racing found hor wanting. She will, however, show improvement in to-day's engagement, an event she won twelve months ago. Silver Coot was well supported for the Flying Handicap at Timaru yesterday, but backers had a poor run for their enterprise. He failed to get away smartly, and although he finished on well ho was never in the placed division.

Money Order was only nominated for one race at the South Canterbury Meeting, and duly collected. He never showed signs of defeat, and ran home an easy winner; Weighted at 7-10, ho is now sure to come into prominence for the Railway Handicap at Auokland. * Stormy had his first outing in the South Island at Timaru yesterday, but he was palpably in need of racing, and was not at any time in the picture. Kenmore was in the fighting line at the top of the straight in the Flying Handicap at Timaru yesterday, and finished close up behind the fourth horse. His turn is not far off. Martarma's initial victory at Timaru yesterday was one of the pleasing features of the day's gathering,' as his owner and trainer have displayed much patience with the Martian colt. He is engaged in two events to-day, but will probably contest the South Canterbury Handicap, in which he will he seen to advantage with 7-0. Amorist was only moderately supported in the Spring Stakes at Timaru yesterday. He was never in a likely position, and finished well back. Assurance ran a good race in the Teschemaker Handicap at Timaru yesterday, and his name was proclaimed es a winner a furlong from home. He failed in the final stages, however, but was not far from the winner at the finish.

Very satisfactory acceptances have been received for tff-day's races at Timaru, and another interesting programme will bo provided. The weather promises to be fine. A special train will leave Christchurch at 8 a.m., arriving back in the City at 10.11 p.m. Thorndale has been raised 131b in the Levels Handicap for his win yesterday, but that may not stop him from being in the money. Fresco and Gold Mint appear to offer most opposition. Money Peer and Miss Trillion will be bracketed in the Juvenile Handicap, and their number will carrv most support, with Solgele next in demand. The South Canterbury Handicap presents a difficult problem to investors. If Mnrtarma starts he will be in demand, and others.with favourable prospects are Baldowa and Front Bankr Bronstell, Money Mine, and Fair Exchange seem a likelv trio in the Claremont Hack Handicap. The Stewards' Handicap should proTide a good contest between Gay Sonnet, Lucy Locket, and Nincompoop.

Arikiwai, Donne, and Amorist have possibilities in the Trial Handicap, while in the Kingsdown Hack Handicap Battle Colours, Hoylake, and Money Peer, if reserved, will command most attention.

The Meeting will conclude with the Farewell Handicap, for which Rob, Receipt, and Moorland may be well supported. Civiiitv will do her Christmas racing at Manawatu and will be ridden in her engagements by D. C. Watts. Mr G. M. Curric's team will be divided for the holiday Meetings. \\. Ilayner goes to Auckland with Mask, Thaw; Lvsandcr, and Episode, leaving C'ovent Garden and Damaris to race at Manawatu.

Silvermine was nominated for f ho Manawatu Meeting with every intention of going there, hut at Feilding J. Brown said ho was not aware that he would be running up against Kiosk in the Palmerstou North Stakes. Further, as Silvermine was showing wining form, he thought that he would have better prospects in Auckland, so that the Catmint colt will go north for the Christmas Meeting. Silvermine did not do too well at Feilding and the raco in the Stakes against Kiosk got him a bit worked up-. He won, however, the following day, and 1 if" ho docs well in the meantime he should improve sufficiently to get some money at Ellerslie.

F. Tillev will take Mandane, Laughing Prince, and Freehold to Ellerslie for certain, and the team is to include a fourth. The last member was in doubt at Feilding, but after lluanui s good showings there it is probable he will complete the quartet. The stable will have nothing racing at Manawatu, but a couple may run at Marton.

Owen Cox will do .the Manawatu Meeting at Christmas with Reremoana, Ladv Desmond, Euphonium, and Bnrryanda, and at the New Year will patronise the Stratford Meeting, Cavendish will not bo racing during the holidays.

Mr T. H. Lowry's team for Auckland wiil bo Gascony, Great Charter, Pure Gold, Dore/;, and Marion's Birthday. Gascony was not considered nt enough to start in tho Feilding Stakes, and is being given his own time to recover from his winter illness.

J. H. Jefferd will limit Mr A. 13. Williams's team for Auckland to Star Stranger and Joy. King. At Feilding he was not certain whether he would race at Ellerslie or Manawatu, but hetelegraphed yesterday that ho would go to Auckland. Ho was, all the same, disappointed at the weight allotted Star Stranger in tho Cup. After tho last race at Feilding on Thursday Royal Damon (L. G. Morris) came out and ran six furlongs on the course proper from a stand at the barrier in 1.15 2-5. It was a very good gallop.

A few very promising horses were seen out at Feilding. Ruanui, Episode, and Silvermine must head the list, and all going well with them they will be heard of during the holiday racing at the end of the month. Mr V. E. Eidditord, who has been some months absent from New Zealand on a visit to England, is due back in Wellington on Monday by the Makura from Sydney.

Euphonium i& showing steady improvement, and ho should -be capable of winning a good handicap during the holiday racing. Wanderlust was a bit unlucky at Feilding, but he is not likely to reach top class form in handicaps. Mister Gamp gives every promise of developing into a useful hurdler, and as he stays well the longer the journey the better it will suit him. He is a very fit horse at present. His owner,'Mr J. G. Collins, is at present confined to bed with illness.

Ruanui was not at all fancied by his connexions on the first day at Feilding,. as he had not shown F. Tilley anything good on the track. He did show some improvement in his final gallop over five furlongs, but it was not thought of sufficient merit to regard his chances favourably over a mile and 110 yards. Ruamii made no race of it, and on the second day, although raised lllb, he won just as easily and in much stronger company. Being bred as he is, by Limond. from Rose Queen, he may develop into quite a good horse. He has certainly started off oji the right foot. Ruanui is a possible opponent of Agrion in the Great' Northern Derby. Ruanui is Maori for big hole. On Mr Duncan's station of that name there is a big hole, full of mud and water which is said to be bottomless; at least nobody has ever succeeded in fathoming it, and it is after this spot that Mr Duncan named his horse.

Duke Abbey, although beaten at Feilding, ran a creditable race. He is a likely one for the holiday racing. Episode's breeding lines are chock full of speed, and with Limond to supply the stamina this filly should do big things. Mr Currie makes no secret of the fact that he expects her to turn out top class, and probably he nurses a quiet idea that she will extend the best of them in the Great Northern Foal Stakes. Episode put up 7Jlb overweight in her race in order' to secure the services of B. H. Morris. She bears an extraordinary resemblance to Mr R. Heppner's three-year-old filly Lady Limond, especially about the head. Both of them have a big white face and their style of galloping is also much the same.

W. D. Moroney has Licinius looking very well at present, and it was the essence of hard luck to have him fall on Thursday when victory was within his grasp. Considering his good race in the States the first day, Licinius went out at a good price and such opportunities for a nice little win do not come very often. Licinius, however, should not be long in winning a race.

T. Green made a world of difference to Partaga on the second day at Feilding. Partaga did badly on the trip, so that his good showing under such circumstances indicates that he should improve when he races nearer home. The Lamb looks like improving sufficiently to win a race during the holidays. Vast Acre is very smart, but on Thursday she provided a good example of how weight stops them.

Lady Cavendish showed what was practically a return to her best form when she ran third in the Feilding Stakes, for she was interfered with early and failed to get going with her usual brilliancy. Had she got off well she might have troubled Kiosk, and he would certainly have found it harder to head her off than he did Silvermine. Lysander and Limited both ran below their best form in the Feilding Stakes. Limited has had only tho one race, but Lysander is taking time to come right this season. TROTTING NOTES. Acceptances for the Auckland Trotting Club's Summer Meeting close on Friday nest. Nominations for the Ashburton T.C.'s Boxing Day Meeting close on Monday. Interest in the light harness sport to-da? will- be centred in the Waikato Trotting «Club's Meeting. The Mark Memorial Cup is the principal event set down for decision, and the popular fancy is Loch Moigh, who is regarded as a high-class pacer, with his most formidable opponent the consistent Amaris. In other events the following are likely to perform with credit: — Real Todd, Gold Star, Peter Grattan,

Gold Deal, Explosion. Childe Audubon, Ncratira. Appeal, Daytime, Beatty, Lady Dunmore, and Mary Audubon. The handicaps declared by Mr U. Paul iun., tor the Auckland Trotting Cud'have not earned unstinted praise Siting circles, and it is the general opinion that the horses on the front of the handicap are too close, to {he others to have much chance. Many «ere speculating as to whether_ G.eat Bin«en would be 72yds, 84yds, or 9ojds fed, and Mr Paul has attempted to please everybody by .placing him on 78yds behind. In this respect tto. champion pacer is not badly treated for from off a 4.21 mark or 84yds he hind, he finished third in the Ne« /w land Cup, defeating a number of t oso that will be opposed to him at A«ck land towards the end of the month. As compared with the handicaps made b} Mr H. Brinkman tor the New Zea.and Cup, Mr Paul has decided to differ good deal. Ahuriri was handicapped on 1.23 in the New Zealand Cup, and has now been let out to 4.25, w»"le Rohaia for a most decisive win in the New Zealand Cup from .a 4.26 mark, is now on 425 Cardinal Logan, who ran second off 427 has not been penalised, anci Audacious and Talaro are set to meet horses that beat them in the Cup mi the same terms. Sea Pearl has been let up 12yds on her New Zealand Cup handicap,*while Machine Gun. who won two races in decisive fashion at tuo Auckland Trotting Club's Spring Meeting is still on the limit, l'hc Aus-tralian-bred gelding is wel treated. From a 4.31 mark he won the Spring Handicap on the first day of the Auckland Meeting, and handicapped on 4.f J in the Alexandra Handicap he again won. Certainly the timo was not so good as he was handicapped to do, but on the other hand lie beat such goo;! horses as Talaro, Imprint, and Ahuriri. It seems that in nn effort to appease owners of the back-markers. Mr Paul has been unduly severe on those which though not champions are still entitled to consideration.

It seems that Mr Paul, the Auckland handicapper, has made a 4.-7 handicap of what is really intended to be a 4.28 mark for the limit horses. At the last meetincr of -the New /enland Trotting Conference a rule jvas passed that: "The handicapper shall not for the purpose of framing the handicap alter the class set out in the programme." Mr Paul seems to have erred in this respect. The treatment of New Zealand horses at Sydney Trotting Meetings is not regarded as fair, according,to a Sydney writer, and "if owners of horses brought to Sydney from New Zealand expect the run of'successes experienced by Sheik, Delavun's Quest, and Happy Rosa they are likely to have a rude awakening,'' The Australian Trotting Record comments as follows: —"Shortly before Sheik left New Zealand, lie was handicapped as a 4.22 horse, and his owner must have been a much surprised man when he saw his great racehorse handicapped in Sydney to do 4.30 in an Epping Handicap. On August 22nd Sheik was asked to do 4.130 at Epping, and won in 4.285. Sheik was tnen given a fly over a mile at Victoria Park, when handicapped to do 2.14. He won in.2.103- On September 19th he won at Epping against a weak field in 4.301, and on November Ist, handicapped to do 4.26, Sheik won in 4.24. The leniency shown throughout by the hnndicappers to the horse has not by any means ceased, for after all these wins and making a record of 2.12 to the mile over two miles, in the Ascot Night Thousand Handicap, he is only asked to do 2.13 to the mile over a mile and a half." Sheik and his connexions must have got on the right side of the handicappers, for with his New Zealand record of 4.22 3-5, and Kis subsequent wins, ho is set to do 4.24 in the Auckland, Cup.

The day's programme opened with tho Otaio Handicap, Thorndale belne installed a, less than even money favourite. Rorv O'Moore was the earlv leader from a. good start, and piloted Gold Mint, Green Cloth, Thorndale. and Snatcher aloner the back stretch. Gold Mint and Rorv O'Moore were together at tho home turn, followed closely by Green Cloth and Thorndale, with Pelio la6t. Gold Mint was tho first to enter the straight from Green Cloth and Thorndsle, but when straightened up for home, Gold Mint weakened and Thorndale, taking charge at the distance post, went on to win in comfortable fashion by half a length from Giten Cloth, who was three lengths in front of Gold Mint. Peho finished well after a bad passage and was close up fourth at the post, followed bv Kaikahu, Rory O'Moore. Koauau, and Snateher. The winner had tho race won at the top of tho straight, and although thero was only a small margin at the finish, he was not asked to do his best over tho concluding stages. Green Cloth, who raced under her new ownership, ran a creditable race, and was unfortunate in meeting such a foimidablo opponent as Thorndale. Gold Mint had every chance, but failed at _ a critical staje, and recorded another disappointment. Peho was interfered with early in tho race and tailed tho field for a mile of the journey, but made a good run in the straight. None of the others threatened danger in tho final tussle. Ariklwai lo Term. Thero was only one withdrawal, Smithereens, from the Spring Stakes, and the public were again correct in their judgment, tlm favourite, Arikiwai, recording a popular victory. Notev/aithy and Merivale were tho first to break the line, but after a furlong had been covered, Sax Airini took charge and led to the straight from Miss Trillion, Arikiwai, and Merivale. Several of the field ran wide at the turn for home, and Airikiwai. on the lails, had a clear advantage inside the distance, which he maintained to the. post, winning in a comfortable manner by two lengths. A close finish ensued for second honours, Noteworthy beating Merivale bv a nock, with Ladv Dilatory a neck away next. Star Raid headed the remainder, who were well spread out. Arikiwai had been doins good work on the tracks since the November Meeting at Riccarton, and his party were recompensed for several disappointments both in Australia and New Zealand. Now that he has struck form he is likely to do further good service as thero is no doubt about his galloping ability. Both the two-year-oldß, Noteworthy and Merivale, ran good races after losing their forward positions in the middle stages of tho iournev. The latter gave much promise for her first etart, and should develop info a smart performer. Miss Trillion was well placed throughout, but failed to finish on. Rigmarole was never prominent.

A Stirring Finish. The principal event, the Teschemaker Handicap, created mast interest, and in a good betting pool the public pinned their faith to Set Sail, who carried well over three hundred tickets more than were entrusted to Front Rank. The start was a good one, but there was a lot of crowding going out of the straight, ond Ark Royal was knocked back to last place. Set Sail and Rascal were the-leaders going to the back stretch from Fresco, Battlement, Front Rank, Sir Roy, and Assurance, with Ark Royal last. Rascal assumed the lead approaching the far turn, and led Front Rank, Assurance, Set Sail, Fresco, Battlement, Ark Royal, and Sir Roy in that order to the home bend. Rascal was the first to enter the straight from Front Rank and Assurance, with Set Sail close in behind. Rascal was done at the distance post, and Front Rank at this stage was ahead of Assurance ond Set Sail, while Ark Royal was observed making a strong run on the rails. Set Sail gained the upper hand'of Front Rank and Assurance commencing the final run, but had to be ridden out to stave off a determined challenge by Ark Royal, the verdict going in her favour by a short head. Battlement galloped resolutely over the concluding furlong and beat all but the dividend-payers, being a length behind Ark Royal at the post. Front Rank was a n«ck away fourth, Then came Assurance, Fresco, Sir Roy, and Rascal. A Samson Winner. Grey Wells and Thurso were withdrawn from tho Tycho Hack Handicap, and of the nine starters most support wbb accorded the Chokebore representative, Wild Work, who, however, was not well favoured after the field was dispatched, and was the last to enter the straight. Solgele was tho first to show out, and was later joined by Proliliman, and this pair led to the straight clear of Donne, Money Mine, Royal Tractor, Attract, Lady Swinton, Bronstell, and Wild Work. Money Mine collared Solgele inside tho distance, and, stalling off a challenge by Donne, gained the verdict by n length and a half, with Solgele, who petered out in the last hundred yards, a length away in third place. Bronstell finished strongly after getting away bodly, and was only a neck away from Solgele. Wild Work also put .in a good run in the straight, and was close up next, followed by Proliliman, Lady Swinton, and Attract, with Royal Saxon last. This was Money Mine's initial victory, his previous best performance being in the Dunedin Handicap at the Dunedin Summer Meeting last year, when he dead-heated with Arrowy. Donne ran a solid race, and would have given more trouble to the winner if he had been able to get through earlier. Solgele again stoppod badly after acting as pacemaker for the major part of the journey, while Bronstell showed a lot of pace after a bad passage. Comfortable Victory. The President's Handicap was easy for tho Riccarton owned and trained Battle Colours, who never gave the remainder of the field a chance whon it came to business. Gay Sonnet and Flaming Ray were the leaders over the first threo furlongs, but the latter dropped back and Battle Colours joined Gay Sonnet. These two entered the straight together, but the former soon had the race at his mercy, and won with a lot in hand by two and a half lengths from the favourite, who was a length and a half in front of Lucy Locket. Nincompoop was close up fourth, followed by Ophir, Margaret Birney, and Flaming Ray, wjtli Carmine a bad last. TThe winner ran two good races at the New Zealand Cup Meeting, and has executed some of the best work seen at Riccarton since, but in spite of this fact the chances of Gay Sonnet and Nincompoop were considened more favourable by investors. This was Battle Colours' first win since being purchased early in the year from Mr G. Kain. Gay Sonnet faled to sustain his effort after soven furlongs had been covered, and Nincompoop did not threaten_ danger after being well placed to the straight. The others ran very disappointingly. Martarma at Last. Tho Maiden Plate, from which Amorist and Rhondda were withdrawn, was voted the best of propositions for Martarma, who carried half of the machine total. Money Mart, Malmsey, and Princess Mafalda wcro in line clear of Martarma at the far turn, where Wayward joined the leaders and was first into the straight from Malmsey and Princess Mofalda. Martarma gradually forged his way to the front commencing the home run, and although his rider found it necessary to keep the colt up to his task, he won in decisive fashion by two lengths without actually being ridden out. Wayward was a length in front of Princess Mafalda, who was closely followed by Malmsoy, Fairness, St. Nicholas, and Claret* Cup. Hoylake Impresses. All the acceptors paraded for the Kerrytown Hack Handicap, Money Peer bring made a slightly better favourite than Jarretiero. Hoylake was the first to break the line, but was soon supplanted by Fair Exchange, who, with Jarretiere as a companion, led to the straight from Saxette, Hoylake, and Money Peer. Fair Exchange was the first into the home stretch and appeared the likely winner, but Hoylake, vigorously ridden, shot to the front and beat Fair Exchange home by two lengths. Money Peer, who finished well, was a length and a half away in third place. Rhondda was a moderate fourth, and then came Quarterdeck, Jarretiere, Saxette, and Happy Queen. The Euglish colt's success was one of the pleasing features of the Meeting, and it is now likely that his enterprising owner will win more races with him. Hoylake has always been a difficult horse to manage in a race, and in this event he showed an inclinato'n to shirk his task at the distance, but

COUNTRY RACING CLUBS. PLEA IN PARLIAMENT. TOTALISATOR DUTY REFUNDS. [THE PEESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON. December 2. A plea on behalf of the country racing clubs was voiced by feir Ueorge Hunter (Uaipawa; in the House, when speiiuing to the provision in the Finance Bill extending the purposes lor which totalisator duty may be refunded. Imder Section S of the Finance Act, said air George, authority was given the Minister lor Finance to refund to the small country clubs ii per cent, of the amount received from the totalisator, and the clause in the Finance Bill was an extension of that principle. Ifc would allow part of the refund to be devoted towards f the reduction of debts of the clubs, and lot tlio purchase of hunt club sites to en courage the sport of hunting. "I want to ask the Minister for Finance," continued Sir George, "'whether lie will consider, if possible, the question of further extending this principle next year and will allow these amounts to be refunded to the various country clubs without any restriction in regard to the expenditure other than that the amounts so refunded shall not be expended in stakes. Many of the small country clubs are labouring under a great disability at the present time in making provision for the carrying on of racing. The slight concession made to the clubs this sesion provides for a remission in the charge for admission through the gates, and' is an indication that the Government realises the difficulties under which the country clubs are labouring. Unless they get some relief in the immediate future, however. I fear it will be absolutely impossible for some of those country clubs to carry on successfully. "It would be unfortunate for the sport if the country clubs were forced to close down on the ground of not being able to finance their institutions. I know this is not an opportune i,ime to urge concessions but I hope that next session some substantial concession will be made in order that these small .clubs may carry on and be put on a sound financial basis." Replying, the Minister for Finance (Mr Downie Stewart) said that personally he had no objection to the extension of the principle. It seemed to him that once the money was remitted to the clubs the use they made of it was not of very much moment. Sir George Hunter had suggested that the money should not be used for increasing the stakes, but it would be hard to avoid that result since once the general finance had eased up the easier it would be to increase the stakes. That, of course, was not the object of the remission. The Minister said he was prepared to consider the point raised. AUCKLAND R.C. CLASSIC EVENTS. [THE PEESS Special Service.] AUCKLAND, December 2.

Both his efforts at Feiiding were impressive, and as he was staying on well at the end it is evident he will be seen to advantage when asked to run over longer distances. Prior to this week Courageous had started only once, so thac there is ample room for improvement in him. His dam, Bonne Bouche, is bv Boniform from Heorthen, a mare by Phoebns Apollo from the Musket mare Hilda. Heorthen will be remembered for her race in the 1908 New Zealand Cup. She took charge of her jockev down the back stretch and ran herself right out, so that when Downfall came on the scene *t the finish she was unable to hold him off. That second placing instead of a win made a lot of difference to many Riccarton folk. There is plenty of staying blood in Courageous.
