The list is as follows: —December 'Jotli :icd 27th. West-port Trotting Club stakes £2060); Westland Racing Club stakes £1570); December 30th, Beefion Trotting Club (stakes £850); De- . finbcr 31st and January Ist, Greyr. r.utli Jockey Club (stakes £IS6O 1; .! miliary 3rd, Westland Trotting Club stakes* £700): January oth and 6th, '-rey mouth Trotting Club (stakes £2January 7th and Sth, Reeftou .'ockt-v Club (stakes £1(550). The programme of the Westport Jockey Club's .Meeting oti March 2St!i and 30th (stakes is also included, the total stakes :-.i l-j distributed being & 13,04,". Not Onlucky Number. A paragraph recently appeared in the Press that I'har Lap was the first horse :o v.-in tJie Melbourne Cup from No. 13 ;'Oaitiou at the barrier. A correspondent from Itabtings points out that J'har I.ap did noc start from that pQsi- • :on. He drew the "devil's marble," !>ut two subsequent scratchings brought iim into No. 11 at the post. By Shambles. X ightu;are, a winner at Levin on Saturday, gave the Longbeaeh sire, Shamble#, another success. She was bred at the Elderslie stud, from the English mare, Skydream, by Skyrocket, imported by Mr 3. H. Grigg, and was sold as a yearling at Trcntham, to Iter present owner, Mr L. H. Collison, of Palinerstori North, for 100 guineas. A Field Dry. A feature of the day's programme at Levin on Saturday wag the success of 'he Linacre horse. Acre, who sired four winners, Acco, Rothen, Easterly, and Bayaere. A Pro mining Piily. The oldest of the .stock of the J-'halaris horse Shambles are three-year-ids. and tlin Leviji winner Nightmare k one uf thorn. Nightmare is a wellfilly of handsome appearance, vho gives every sign ot developing „'Ooii class form. [Tp to Saturday she sras a maiden, and has taken time to Oine right, but recent races left the impression that it would not ho long before she got on the winning list. Her success on Saturday was very easily • iiieved. and she looks sure tu get some money this season. Nightmare ia out ■■f Skydream, a mare bred in England in 1922.• by Skyrocket from Little Thoughts, by Flotsam from Little link*, by Breadknifo from Weir, by • ialopin. Skyrocket is by Sunstar from Maid of the Mist, by Cyllene from Sceptre, and is a brother to Craig-an- ■ ran, and three-quarter brother to lUichan- Skydream was imported as a ■ hree-vear-old in 1925 by Mr John Grigg specially for the stud, and was never laced. Sho> is now at tho Elderslie stud, where Nightmare was bred. As > yearling she was secured by her pre- • Liit ov.ner, ilr L. H. Collinson, at the "r-'iitliani sales for 100 guineas. She is ■ ngaged in the Great Northern Derby »nd Oaks, and New Zealand St. Leger. ~:ji6 may not develop form good enough ■or the Derby, but by the autumn it v.-ou!d be no surprise to find her taking her |>laca in classic Holds with good pros-rCL-ts of success. • j

A Likely Sprinter. Arcjcau, winner or" the hack sprint at Levin,, is a tliree-j r ear-old half-sister by Arausio to Arrow Lad. She showed speed last season, winning two vices i ml being placed on six athev occasions. f>no haj had only one race this term I'Mor 10 running unplaced at Ihe Otaki Meeting, -\rajean has plenty '.(• pace, and looks like developing into h useful sprinter, though she has a long "■ay to go before reaching' the ssme class •ii her half-brother. An Improved Hack. One of the most improved hacks seen at Lei in was Arrowhead. When trained at Itiecarton and later at Awppuni, before coming into the possession of his present owner. Arrowhead had a rcpu- ! :'.tjon for speed, but ho always'failed to i! ?** er ail niinor placings- Now that he has made substantial improvement and got on the winning hat he "Ught to go on with it. He is a wel!I'red one, being by Arrow-smith from iange Blossom. by Nassau from Nantes by Stepniak. Orange Blossom >s a half-sister to such noted horses ai 1 rim, Artillerie, Marsa (dam of Night■«nrch), and Nanna. The barton ! ramer (, Murray-Aynsley, who bred - has his tUree-year-oia half- ' , , a ' b - v Paladin, whom it v. ouid lake some money to buv. First Money's Success. 1 ■^- one >' won the „\lcMemorial Handicap at I.evin it «as his first success for twelve months H was 111 ovember last year that he von the open sprint at Otaki. In tho .'Meantime he has been givon a course ■•r hurdling, and although ha performed at his only attempts ovqr the hurdles at Otaki Igst month the huw game lias done him no harm, having thickened him out, and apparently made him more solid for flat racing. He looks a good prospect for events in the immediate future if he runs reliably. A [though the difference between hqck arid open company is on paper a couple "f stone, it frequently occurs that good hacks can go straight into the open class and prove that they are equal to rhe demands m&do upon them. Autopay >« the recent outstanding example of a horse going straight from' hacts class to a brililanf success in the open class.

Hunting q^ij. At Levin on Saturday Hunting showed that he ia another ex-hack wjio will win niouey in opon company. There i* no suggestion that he is up to the *tandtM-.] of Autopoy, but ho ran so we]]

after being last to leave the mark and losing a lot of ground that lie will enter into calculations for evonts ahead. On the way Hunting Call finishes in his races he will be seen to advantage over distances considerably longer than sprints.

TROTTING NOTES. | A -Reminder. j Nominations for the A'eit Brighton i T.C.'s Spring Meeting close ort Thuraj day at 13 noon. j Forbury Park Favourites. Erin's Fortune, Steel All, and Grand- | light are the ruling favourites for the ! President's Handicap at Forbury Park, | while in the Dash Handicap Delightj ful and Free Advice are most in j favour. 1

I Pull of Promise. George Hey, a young gelding trained bj' F. G. Holmes at Addington, is a particularly smart pacer and engaged in the Caversham Handicap at Forbury Park he should make things interesting. At the New Zealand Metropolitan T.C.'a August Meeting he won the Advance Handicap, confined to three-year-olds after running the mile and a quarter in 2min 50 2-ssec. In this raee lie defeated a particularly good field including Royal Silk, Erin's Pointer, Ngingon'gingo, Lydia, Captain Wrack, and Morrison. He has made a good deal of improvement in the past few months. A Promising Trotter.

Patty Bingen showed plenty of speed at Greymouth on October "7th and though she doep not trot as steadily as could be wished, she does not loso a great deal of ground as a result of her breaking. Engage 4 in the Roslyn Handicap, 3min 45sec class, at Forbury Park, she may keep most of tho younger trotters doing their best. At Least Useful. Belle Lorrjmer, a half-sister to Dundas Boy, performed creditably on the second day of the Greymouth Meeting, and she looks the type to do still hotter. She stays on well and engaged in the Spring Handicap at Forbury Park she should rijn well. Bho ia not altogether perfect in her starting manners, and in a big field this will be all against her. A Great Brood Mare. Mr R. M. Morten lias sent his marc Mauricata on a visit to Cathedral Chimes, who is standing the season in North Otago. Muricata seems to nick well with sires of the Four Chimes breed, for to Cathedral Chimes she left Ahuriri and to Four Chimes she produced Taraire, a winner of the Australian Championship, and ono of tho bost stayers New Zealand has knowu.

j WOMAN BOOKMAKER. | SMALL FINE IMPOSED. | (.THE FJBBS3 Special atrvlcf.J AUOS-L-VJV4J, November '2l.

Hunt. fci.M., in the Magigtriite's (Jpuit tliis morning, charged with laying totalisator odds at* Lho Auckland Trotting Club's Meeting on Saturday. -Accused, who nap arrested by Detective Nalder during the meeting, pleaded guilty. "Complaints wpre made by the Trotting Club that women wer« I jetting under the very shadow of the totalisator," Mr Kelly, ''and the po(ice wers instructed to stop the practice. .Aroused was betting mostly with women, but the polico managed to have three humble bets of half a crown each. Accused paid out totalizator odds. When she was arrested she luid £7 in nate§, and £2 8s 6d in silver." Mr Kelly said that when interviewed accused had admitted the offence. She said she had been advised by some friends to tako on bookmaking, However, she said she now intended to give the game up. Detectives, who had watched her, said it was apparent that she had been carrying on business at different racecourses. One detective had seen her at the Avondale races. It was also alleged that she had ''welshed." Her husband was out of a job. IXo was an invalid, and sh<p had two little children to look after. "I have never laid the odds until this last meeting." paid accused. Mr I?l)ntWell, will you give me an undertaking to give it no If I let yon off lightly this time?— Yes, sir. Accused was fined ££, "and you can't go on a course now." remarked Mi' jfufnt. "T won't want to," was the reply.
