.Handicap, one mije, on the second, day. 'He was ridden in both races by B. Coveny, who will again have the mount on him in the same events at the coming* Meeting.Cricket Bat had a slight, advantage from Qwlsfiight at the end of .five furlongs, taking Imin 4 l-ssec, and Winsome Hind, strode over six furlongs in lmin 17aec. Sailor's : Love and Aberfeldy. were companions in a mile gallop. There was little between them until the last fur-, long, when the former forged ahead and beat Aberfeldy comfortably in the satisfactory time of lmin 45 3 : ssec. Sailor's Love created a good impression by her finishing run, but Aberfeldy's effort did not point to his Trentham prospects. The Viscount had a neck advantage from Parysia aftextraveraing seven furlongs in lmin 31 3-ssee. He carried a good weight , and showed the benefit of his race at Motukarara. Parysia alfo went well, and should give a good account of herself at Trentham. The Viscount is also to make the trip.

. Appeal, assisted by Flying Shot for three furlongs, covered six. furlongs in lmin 18. 3-ssec.. He will be taken to Trentham by ,H. Donovan, and will be ridden by A. Eastwood. Charmeuse and Idolise galloped half a milfe along the back of the course proper. Idolise showed a burst of speed in leading Charmeuse for three furlongs, but the latter wore her young rival down in the final furlong, and beat her in the good time of 48sec. Charmeuse will be next raced at Waimate, while Idolise is a likely visitor to Trentham.

JTROTTING NpTES.

ABeminder. Nominations for the Wellington T.C.'a Autumn Meeting close to-day. Improving. Skilliecorn, a five-year-old gelding by Sonoma Harvester from Lucy Wallace, is owned and trained by D. P. Mahony at North Canterbury. At the Kaikoura Meeting this gelding, though evidently very green, went good races, and apparently Only wants racing experience to make him solid. He is a fine cut of a gelding, and if produced at Cheviot on Saturday week he may lteop the remainder doing their best. Does Not Appeal. Sadie Huon was started in the Wairewa Handicap at Motukarara on Saturday last, but a bad beginning completely spoilt any chance she might have had in, the big field. Handicapped on 72 yards behind in the Cheviot Cup, her prospectß do not appear bright.

A Well-bred One. Twelve months ago the trotter Element won the Domett Handicap at the Cheviot Meeting in a manner that suggested she might become a good trotter. Although she is an aged mare, Element's connexions evidently do not believe in ovefrracing her, for she has not raced Since.. A fine big chestnut mare, Element is by Petereta from Muricata, therefore a half-sister to the dual New Zealand cup winner, Ahuriri, and Taraire. ; Element is ten years old, and not having been raced much, slje should still be capable of winning races, and as a stud matron, she boasts excellent blood lines, embodying in her pedigree a strain of Peter the Great through her sire Petereta, and Bingen blood through her grand-sire Mauritius, while Ocean Wave, her grand-dam, is by Bothschild from Ripple, by the thoroughbred Flour de-Lys.. ; • .■ . At Boston Lodge. only two years old, Great Bingen, a half-developed colt, was mated with a few mares at Akaroa, but the only progeny to race with any success was Sea Hawk, who won minor races in Southland. Since being put to the stud, however, the old champion, has been afforded better opportunities, and in work at Mr J. R. MeKenzie's Eoydon Lodge is a colt by Grept Bingen from. Slapfast that, looks like turning out really good. Like his sire, he is a. beautifully-mannered youngster, and nothing appears to upset him.' Already he 'is showing speed that some aged horses cannot command, and he looks like being one of the early favourites for the New Zealand Sapling Stakes, 1 His .dam, Slapfast t purchased at a big price in America bySfr McKenzie, held the world's yearling record, arid being by Trampfast, & noted American sire, she shduld leave good stock. Another youngster ( of promised a colt by Great Bingen from Nyallo (dam of, J Nyallo Sill^> # but he was thought .to be growing too - fast, and he has been turned out. In markings-and conformation this latter colt is a repliica of his sire.

Auckland T.O. > w Although nothing can .be gathered, officially there ia an impression abroad," says anAuckland writer, "that nextseason -may find the Avifcland Trotting Olub making a departure cus- r topiary dates, and spreading itsjpermits ' out to *. more even th» At pre^mt' fte.clffb holds l«<tfude;:any;{day o#| assisting worthy causes such ai*' unemployment of I earthgitake, there are my. that' there-will be as alteration next season cannot begleanedjbut the rumour is i that the ,elnb will -out the CfUp, Meeting I dewn to two daya,andhold one or two one-daymeetings.

HANDICAPPING.

A NEW SYSTEM. MONEY-WINNING BASIS SUGGESTED. Handicapping is very much in the air at present in trotting circles, and it is possible that within the course of the next! few weeks a conference of those interested in the subject trill be held with the idea of formulating a scheme that will do a lot towards giving satisfaction. Messrs D. F. Glanville and J. R. McKenzio, two of the bestversed men in New Zealand on handicapping, have spent - much time and thought on the ' subject, and while they have seriously considered the "limitation of handicappers' penalties" they are of the opinion that the .only fair method of handicapping is to' be done on a money winning basis: The'idea seems to have the advantage that it puts a value on & horse'B winning capabilities. If a horse can win only £SO in stakes his mark is correctly 2min 27sefc to the mile. A winner of £4OO iB a 2min 21sec mark horse, a £IOOO winner is regarded as capable of doing 2min 16acc to the mile, and by the time he reaches a 2min lOsec mark he has won £4500, and so on until a 2min 6sec horse has won £ 14,500. The system provides for rigid penalties. No horse under this ruling can be let up on its handicap and no horse can be over-penalised for winning in . fast time. Following is a table showing just how the system will operate;— SCALE OF TROTTING HANDICAPS.

Conditions. The conditions attaching to the pro* , posed system: are as follows (а) The suggested money winning system is simplicity in itself. A maiden pacer for' example Trill' start off line mark 2mju 27see to the mile. He will remain on that mark until he has won £so,'then he would be placed on the 2min 26see line mark for all distances ' until he had won £IOO in all, and so on, advancing only to the next line mark, when he had w.on the amount named opposite that,mark. • ' (b) As it will be necessary to have a starting point, »U horses will start from their, present, handicap mark. JV>V instance horse pn, Sntin 1 SOseq ■ foronO imfe' *ntt\a 'half, woWd be placed on the 2min 18seo to thejame line, and would be credited with tyinv uing £7OO, Independent of whether, it had won more oi lest, It would reiuain oa that mask until'it had won another £IOO, making £BOO, when it would thea bo on the 2min 47sec line to the! mile, and the mark for othtr distances are on the same line. , ' .(e) Bach horse ,woul(J remain on its .particular line mark nqtU it had won sufficient to- place it on this, next mark. A record card would be ; isfcpod to each , ownerand before the secretary of /a, club would pay outj my stakes would'be necessary for'the owner or trainer to produce this card, when the secretary- would mafck the amount of winnings on, same. 1 (d) Ajj assistant, to be appointed under ,th«r Trotting Association, to keep a duplicate card for all horses, a record 'of their windings, and this assistant would check.up all horses entering for , (Trace,-to cfee -they were on their right > mark; , i (e) Winders and placed! horses of the following classic races:—North Island - and South Island Derby; Sapling Stakes,* and IVee J for-All—half tho/amount oijiy •-of vrthiingfl to ( be added to the tforsd'B total.

TKENTHAM NOTES.

(PaBSS ASSOCUKOH TUOKHUIC.) WELLINGTON, March 10. The weather was fine and the tracks were in good order for gallops at Trentham this morning.;' - The 'plough was used by the older and the straight half mile of the tooursp proper by most of the two-yaar-jflds: Malayan and Tea Queetn did six furlongs easily in lmin 19 8-6 sec. Open Cheque, Normandy, and Hunting Call did pace work only. The last* named is very fit. Ephi altos, who has improved a lot lately in appearance, sprinted half a mile in 49 4-ssec. J. M. Pino will ride him on Saturday. Rothern was much too good for Wee Lachia over five furlongs in lmin 4 3-ssee, the last' half in 60 2-6 sec, Lady. Pam, accompanied by Spew* Lad for five furlongs, and by Fairwind the rest of way, galloped nine furlongs from the mile peg attractively. The first half-mile took 53 1-6 sec, the half to the winning pout Clsec, ana the furlong beyond under lSsecj making lmin 57sec for the full distance. Historic and Zephyrus did the last half mile of six furlongs in 50 2-ssec. Historic is an unlikely, starter in the Thompson unless it is wet. Zephyrus is also an uncertain starter in the St. Leger. . Eminent and Lineage did paoe work only. S. Gerrand will ride the .former, and A. H. Eastwood the latter. Pewa was responsible for an attractive St. Leger trial in beating the Thompson Handicap candidate, Pakitere, decisively over a mile in lmin 44 sec, the first naif taking 60 1-Ssee and the last half 53 4-Sseo. Joie de Vai again surprised by reeling off seven furlongs in lmin 80 l-6eec, the last half-mile in 52 3-6 sec. This inaiden sister to the useful Degage is to be tried over a, distance. Pat's Boy, after a slow beginning) drew away from Trader Horn over the closing .stages of five furlongs in lmin 6 l-sseo, the last half-mile talcing 51 l-sscc. Toxeuma, looking well, sprinted six furlongs alone in lmin 17 l-sseo, taking 51 3-Sseo fox; the last half-mile. Tobacooland dashed over six furlongs in lmin 16 2-sseo, doing the last half mile in 51 2-ssec. ■ Martian Chief did half a mile nicely in 61 S-Sseo. The first of the two-year-olds to work were Thermopylae, Foghorn, and White Squall, who did pace work. Gape .Gold, going easily, beat Movietone over five furlongs in lmin 4see, the last hplf-mile in 50 3-ssee. The other youngsters all galloped on the course proper, along the outeide rail. Salt Spray beat Invite and Moab Queen over half a mile in 60 2-Sseo Salt Spray is beginning to show promising form. . , , . Acis, with something in hand, lef* PrefectandNinewehi (Toxeuma's half sister) at the end of half a mile in 50sec. Oratorian finished clear of Curie at the close of half a mile in 49 2-Ssec. .
