At Hokitiku ft The Westland Racing Club has definitely arranged to hold a two days' race meeting in the autumn, the dates fixed being May 4 and 6, the latter day being a national holiday for the King's Jubilee celebrations. The programme has been drafted, stakes allotted amounting to £lllO lor seven galloping races, and one trotting event, each day.

to have bright prospects of winning a stake, but had her chance ruined by failing to move away from the barrier with the rest of her field. Bracketing ijorses Quietly and Royal Sceptre were bracketed on the totalisator in the Kinloch Handicap at Motukarara on Saturday, owing to an existing, contingency. The matter had not been noticed until the owner of Royal Sceptre, Mr C. L. Kettle, who arrived from Greymouth on Saturday morning, pointed it out to the officials. The onus of bracketing horses rests with owners, but in this case it was explained by Mr Kettle that he did not know that Quietly's inclusion affected the contingency on his horse until he ascertained her ownership from the racebook. There have been many cases of bracketing being overlooked by owners, and it would appear as if the only way to overcome the difficulty would be to make an owner nominating a horse give particulars of any existing contingency, and if it should happen that other parties interested in that contingency nominate for the same races, the onus is then placed on the secretary of the club.

For Spring Racing Argentic is still enjoying the run of a paddock at the stables of his trainer, C. C. McCarthy, but is quite sound again, and ready to enter upon another preparation at short notice. There are, however, no races to suit him on winter tracks, and as it would not be possible to get him ready to race at Easter it has been decided to leave him out until the approach of the early spring programmes. His stable mate, Monastic, has been taken up again with a view to racing overhurdles during the winter. Adapted for Hurdling: Streamline, the three-year-old halfbrother by Day Comet to Fast Passage, who was sold last year by Sir Charles Clifford to Mr J. H. Grigg, of Longbeach, has been gelded and is to be tried out as. a jumper. If he shapes well enough in.his initial education at Longbeach he. will no doubt be sent back to RiccaHon to be prepared for racing. Topical in Australian Cup The results of the racing at Flemington on Saturday recall an opinion expressed by "Chiron" in the "Australasian" on TTebruary G. After discussing the prospects of horses engaged in the Australian Cup, he selected La Trobe, Picatus, Robert, Topical, Theo, Gippsland, Cueesun, and Supervalve as likely to race well. The writer was in doubt as to whether Vintage would race in Melbourne, and for this reason did not include him in the list of his favourites. "Chiron" wrote as follows:—"It would not in the least surprise me to see Topical win this Australian Cup, as he is not harshly treated with 8-12. He won the race two years ago as a four-year-old with 7-8. Since then he has finished second in the Metropolitan with 8-5, and third (dead-heat) in the Melbourne Cup with 8-7. The Australian Cup is a much easier race to win than 'he Melbourne Cup, so with only 51b more than he carried in Hall Mark's cup, in which he was decidedly unlucky at the turn for home, he is rather well treated. He is a proved stayer, and, I think, is a much better horse here than he is in Sydney. He should be able to give 21b to Ruach, who is handicapped right up to his best form. Sir Simper failed in the last Melbourne Cup with 7-7. being the last home, and his failure was complete. He has never impressed me as, a likely slayer, and perhaps a mile and a half is quite as far as he cares about, but as the Australian Cup is not run at nearly such a solid pace as the Melbourne Cup his speed might

<iood Season To Date The Chokeboie stable- ilii* season has supplied the winners of 20 races :i various parts of New Zealand, and •hese, with 25 minor placings. have earned £3583 in stake money. Jockey Premiership A close and interesting comest is being staged for the jockey premiership <-f the season in New Zealand. Before Saturday's racing. L. J. Ellis had 58 '.■/ins to his credit, and W. Broughton v.-as second with 55. Each won two j aces on Saturday, the former at Motukarara and Broughton at Pukekohe. but as the latter will have more « pportunities in the North Island dur:ng the next few weeks, he is likely '.o forge to the front. K. Voitre. now in Australia, is third on the list with ■'A. and P. Atkins is next with 30. Full of Promise Malvasia. who tilled fourth place in the maiden event at Motukarara on Saturday, is a three-year-old filly by Valkyrian from Malmsey, and she has a box in J. B. Pearson's stable formerly occupied by her dam, who proved herself a solid galloper in spite of many disabilities. Malvasia was making her rirst appearance, and always in the first six during the running, ?vhe attracted special attention by an f-xceptionally fast finishing run, which ui another stride would have given her place money. Her effort was char-

enable him to get the distance. The race has often been won by a supposed non-stayer. Flail is getting no younger, and has probably reached the sere and yellow leaf stage, but it is in his favour that he is a sound stayer. Still, I will allow him to run against me. King March, I understand, is to run in the race, but on New Zealand form he seems to be held very safe by Vintage, to whom he was twice second at the Auckland Cup meeting during the Christmas holidays." AUSTRALIAN CUP SCRATCHINGS NEW ZEALAND ACCEPTORS FOR TO-MORROW (UNITED PHESS ASSOCIATION —IIY KLBC'IT.IC TELEGRAPH —COPYRIGHT.) 'Received March 4, 8.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, March 4.

Mr Holmes has a yearling half-sister bv Paper Money to Malvasia to race under the name of Wine Card. The Blue Ribbon After the Peninsula Cup race at Mutiikarara on Saturday, the winner.

Mathe><m. of Dunedin, by Mr M. M. FriedKinder, of Riccarton. She has previously shown good form on the tracks. but has suffered from oft-recurring I'.;; trouble, and it has not been possible to give her a serious preparation. She did not, however, show any ill effects from her race, and a success may soon come her way. Auckland Bred ' r 'ooley Street, uwned and trained by H. Rama, had a fair following in the Motukarara Juvenile Stakes on Saturday. He was ridden by the stable hurdle horseman, and was never in a winning position. He is a three-year-old gelding by Surveyor from Cantrip, by Signor, and in some re-r-enx. sprints has shown a turn of speed ovlt short courses. Expired Pompeii, by Weutliervane from Lava, •••ho was raced a short while back bv y N. Kenncrlcy, was recently returned fo her owner, Mr J. M. Sainton, and is now one of P.

TROTTING NOTES Reminders Acceptances for the Timaru Trotting Club's autumn meeting will close today. Acceptances tor the Wyndham Trotting Club's annual meeting will close on Friday. Rehandicaps For his win at Hutt Park on Saturday, Edgar Wallace has been penalised 24 yards for the Seadown Handicap at Timaru on Saturday. Rey Spec has earned a penalty of 12 yards for the Washdyke Handicap. Chevalier, a winner at the Invercargill meeting, has been penalised 60 yards in the Upper Clutha Handicap at the Cromwell meeting. Change of Trainers Lady Sonoma, previously trained on the West Coast, was in the care of J. Walsh during her racing at the Invercargill meeting. Dundee Disappoints Dundee again disappointed his backers at Hutt Park on Saturday, and is to be treated to a good spell. Harold Wrack j Harold Wrack was unlucky to be beaten in his race at Invercargill, but he will be given a chance to make amends at Timaru on Saturday. He is in R. Townley's stable and has a mile and a half record of 3min 22sec. Bingen Palm Before leaving for the Wellington meeting Bingen Palm did a fine workout on the Addington track, and he appeared to be in almost perfect racing condition. Without hopples and without any apparent great effort he paced a mile and a half in 3min 21sec, and this was regarded as an especially good trial for his immediate engagements. In both starts he failed rather badly and while his effort suggested he had trained off, it is more than possible that he could not handle the grass track. Bingen Palm has failed previously on the Hutt Park course, and it will be remembered that more than 12 months ago. after he had shown excellent form at Westport and Greymouth, he was taken to Wellington only to fail rather badly. While he has won several races at Westport, Bingen Palm has shown his best form on the clay tracks at Greymouth and Addington, and good judges will not condemn him on account of his latest showings. At Addington he won like a high-grade racehorse and is likely to repeat the performance. .Racketeer J, J. Kennerley was disappointed several times in the running of Young Travis and this speedy but temperamental stallion has been handed over to J. Deyell for a period. At one stage Young Travis looked like developing into a high-grade racehorse, but he did not always race up to his track work. Young Travis is only four years old, and maybe time will work a big improvement in him. Kenner'ey's stable, however, has been strengthened by the inclusion of the West Coast pacer Racketeer, who was brought to Addington after the last Greymouth trotting meeting by G. S. Smith. It is understood one of the patrons of Smith's stable held a right of purchase at a fairly good figure over the iielding until late last week, but as the right was not exercised the horsu was transferred to Kennerley. Racketeer may still need some experience of racing before he becomes a highclass racehorse, but he should prove a good stake-winner before he gets amonsst the real class. lie is still owned by Messrs C. and L. Walshe, of Westnor:. ! Harold Logan Harold Logan, the idol of the racing public, lias been taken in hand again after one of his regular spells, and is being prepared for anything that may present itself. This big-little horse is neither better nor worse than he has been before, but whatever opportunities are presented he will be in a condition to take advantage of them. There are still possibilities of a match race or free-for-all at the Easter meeting at Addington. in which Harold Logan may compete but if this is not on offer there is the prospect of an exhibition tour of the North Island meetings. Harold Logan will be an attraction wherever he parades, and

while Addington patrons would be sorry to find him missing from headquarters, they would have the satisfaction of knowing that he was advertising the sport in other parts of the Dominion. Incidentally. Harold Logan's owner. Mr E. F. C. Hinds, has a team of several horses that would win races on a tour of the North Island "smalls." Proposed Conference Although nothing definite has been decided upon, there is every possibility of a conference of trotting representatives from every Australian state and New Zealand being neld in Sydney in June. The object is to establish a conformity-of rulings that will apply in Australia as well -is in New Zealand. .Such a conference would do a world of good to the sport, and might even result in an interchange of visits by the best horses in both countries. The penalties imposed upon Australian horses coming to New Zealand would be one topic that would come up for discussion, and the duplication of names is another that needs attention. There is no doubt that trotting in Australia is becoming more popular, and the only thing that is keeping it back is the lack of suitable dates on which to race and the varying systems applied in different stales. The Goulburn (New South Wales) Trotting Club has already launched out with its Derby, and the Victorian Owners' and Breeders' Association has in mind the establishment of an annual futurity stakes. There is the material in Australia for splendid meetings, and if the remit which will be presented to the annual conference in Wellington by the Auckland Trotting Club favouring the abolition of penalties on Australian horses is made law, there is every prospect of an invasion of horses and trainers from New South Wales and Victoria. The proposed Auckland remit should have the support of every delegate to conference. Position in Australia The Goulburn (New South Wales) Trotting Club has to be congratulated on what it has done and still is doing to help trotting along, says the Melbourne "Globe." It has established a £IOO Championship for three-year-olds, and a Sapling Stakes for two-year-olds. At the moment, the council of the Victorian Trotting Breeders' and Owners' Association is discussing a scheme for establishing an annual futurity stakes for two-year-old trotters and pacers, to be run possibly during the autumn of 1936. Like the other states. Western Australia has had its troubles —chiefly financial—and efforts are being made to overcome the difficulties. The west, through being permitted to hold night meetings, enjoys added opportunities, and it is easy to understand the hold that trotting has on the people of Perth. Queensland's differences have almost wiped the light-harness sport out of existence. Some years ago there was an annual race, worth £1000; but pres-ent-day stakes are veiw small, all through the fault of following the advice of good meaning but misguided people. If we learn from our mistakes and do our best for the benefit of the sport, trotting will progress. Some owners and drivers, under the stress of circumstances during the depression, were forced to consider their own pockets first, which naturally disgusts the public; but, with stakes as they are and times improving, we are hopeful that those most actively connected with the game will do all in their power to improve its status.

FRANKLIN R.C. KAWAKAWA CUP WON BY GIPSY MOTH GAY BRONEY'S SUCCESS (I'HESS ASSOCIATION XELKGRAM.) PUKEKOHE, March 4.
