At any. rate after disqi.alifying a man for life, it does seem somewhat anomalous to find the man's nr.mo appearing among tho owners who ■ have accepted for an important race ii> tho official organ of the Conference. .What is thu Conference^ going to do? \ irTi*~i , MR. SOL, GREEN IN ENGLAND. "Mr. Sol. Green snys that while in England he rondo offers for Sancy, ■ -Biidge of C,'ii:av,.i;Velp6ity and Poiymehih, and also'. fbr-'-a couple in France; but no business resullcd. lie furthermore adds thai, he coulrl linve got quite a number of stallions ot"a kind chcaplv enough, but he reckons Australia lias already got plenty of that class, and '■' consequently did not bother about Ihoni." .-'; ■■■'t. _,; Aftei-s:re'a"dint;.vtbe above one might i imagine that neither of the four horses mentioned was fov sale, and yet such is not the case as they are all in the market. • Mr. Green however had a very clear idea in his.own mind of the value • ".o 1 ' these 'horses''and in making offers .» for them'he didinot err. on the question ;of paying too big a price. Indeed -..had Mr. Green secured a stallion of "'HiV .breeding kind he so required, for the price he was prepared to pay, I imagine that no one would have been more surprised than the genial Sol. Green himself.

ELEVATION. Tho Wairarapa sportsman, Mr. W. E. Bidwill, is to be heartily congratulated in tho success which attended his colours on tho first day of tho Hawke's ■ Bay mootine. Elovation, by his win in ;tho King Ed ward Handicap, proved that • he' has a liking for a distance, and 'carried 7st. 121b5., or libs, mnro than ;'Zimmerman carried when he won this ■,raco last year. • He further emulated ; Zimmerman's performance by running ;second in.the Guineas. Had tho distance been a. littlo further ho would I probably havo won, and this was not the case with Zimmerman, as the further tho distance last, year the further ; would he have been beaten. Elevation 'is now on the 7st. Gibs., or weight for age, mark in the New Zealand Cup, and must have a very big'chance. I would adviso patrons to entirely ighoro his defeat in the Guineas, and merely consider his first day's running. Gravitation (Birkenhead-Stcpfeldt), a halfbrother to Elevation, annexed the Hastings Stakes, and so completed Mr. Bidwill's double, : a very auspicious start to a season. OTAKI ACCEPTANCES. By no stretch, of imagination can the Otaki acceptances', be accounted as good. Howoyer, doubtless the meeting will • servo .its purpose, to cater for the holiday crowd, who are never inclined to be too critical. But tho Otaki Club should remember that all race days aro not holidays, and regular racegoers are more critical, than their' spasmodic holiday brethren. Therefore, I trust that. On this occasion there will be no recurrence.of. the complaints which were so prevalent after .the last meeting. In the .Flying Handicap I should not be surprised if Waihuku and Flotilla, who should have come on since Horowhcnua, fought out tho finish. The Labour Day Handicap should prove a good thing for Waitapu,. unless, it is very wet, in which caso Beudrock might have a ohanco. In tho Maiden Hurdles 1 shall . not look beyond The Vouchor for the winner. With a good horseman up she should probdbly have won at Horrowhonua, but lost a lot of ground at each ; turn, besides,being on the outside the j whole way. St. Amelia may act as run- ! uer-up. If Hurimoana exhibits the ,' same form as he did on the first dav at j Wanganui-lie might win the Handicap 'Hurdles. However, he appears to be an in-and-out customer, and I would rather .trust Playmate, who is an honest iittle horse, but does not' fill tho eye as likely .to.,be successful .under a heavy, impost. In the To Hewi Memorial Handicap there are only five acceptors, and in a i weak field Saga should have no difficulty in winning. The Welter Handicap 'is responsible for nine acceptances, and Pearlie or Pixie may have something to do with the finish. The Stewards Handicap should provide the best race of tho day, as Golden Eagle, Lady Disdain, and • Kareroa, . are all recent winners. Lady-Disdain may provo the best of the trio. In the Maiden Plato Zoraida should notch her'first winning . bracket. WELLINGTON NOMINATIONS. Tho. nominations for the spring meeting of tho W.E.C. could have been better. As, was 1 the case in previous years, ' there is only ono flat race in the whole programme run over a longer distance thaji 'a mile, and only one. other of a mile, thus in a programme of sixteen races only two; flat, races are found of eight furlongs arid upwards. It would be an'excellent innovation if the W.E.C. ;had a Hack race on each day of ono and a half or ono and a quarter miles. ■ It' could, not fail to do good, and would probably; show up some of our hacks in tho light of future handicap or, Cup winners. To account for the poor nominations, however, ono must .look for another reason,, and 1 think it is to.be found; Tho fact is that tho' Club' ought to have increased their stakes. Wo are all aware that certain members of the W.E.C. have, in a very sporting and praiseworthy man'ner, entered into heavy obligations on behalf of tho Club, but it is two years since the' Club moved out to Trentham, and those two years have been .very prosperous ones for the W.E.C. Owners wore content to support the meetings and awnit developments, but the, question now forces itself forward, how much longer have thev to wait? -Jt.is tr'iw that tho Club has materially increased tho ..value'of some of the classic races, but the supporters of the classics aro not tho owners who havo in tho past brought grist to the Wellington Eacing Club's, mill. It is the small owner who w ; ants to be encouraged. Let'the club start raising the value of the Hack Baces if they aro looking for profits. ' That is the way j to get big-'nominations' and encourage the small owners. To give a simple illustration, . lot anyone compare tho .■value and allotments.'.of ".the stake moiicy offered by. the W.E.C, a metro-' politan body, at its spring meeting, with that offered by the Feilding Jockey dab. at its, spring meeting, and .the comparison is all in favour of the country, club .",';. .'..-.. .
