PAIR RETURNING

fFrom Our Own Reporter) WELLINGTON. The Riccarton trainer, J. C. Tomkinson, will return south tonight with Manana and Time I And Tide. The pair ran well in the Stewards’ Handicap at Trentham on Saturday, but were nofnom ' inated for any other races at' the meeting. They will now be ‘ prepared for important flat ' races at the Grand National meeting. .Manana was fourth and Time And Tide seventh in the Stewards’ Handicap. The very heavy , ground did not suit either, but i i they should get better footing: at Rtccarton. P. R. Wilson has been offered the ride on the Gore jumper J John’s Mistake, in the Grand, i National Steeplechase, but may be required for Erewhon, whdeh returned to form with a win at ■ the Egmont-Wanganui Huntmeeting last week. Certain, a form runner from i i Washdyke in the Parliamentary Handicap on Wednesday, travelj led well on Thursday and looked 1 : 'well when exercised at Trentham! 1 yesterday. This morning he will gallop ; with Treble, a Parliamentary Handicap light-weight, but better {known as a brilliant young .hurdler from the Robinson I stable at Matangi. ■ E. G. Low. who rode three | swinners at Washdyke on Satur-l

day, will ride Certain on Wednesday. He haa alto been en gaged for Smart Time, another form runner from Washdyke in the Juvenile HandicanG. F. Hughes will ride Elk'yel in the Parliamentary Handicap and Kintyre In the Members ’ Handicap. Kintyre disappointed ' his connexions on Saturday, but | might have been unable to do ' himself justice.

He had some swelling and soreness in a joint yesterday morning and it is thought he might have ricked himself in his gallop last Thursday.
