It i 6 interesting to note that tho last time the Cuirassier gelding started , in tlio Great Northern Hurdles life had l3st. 61b. to carry. This year lie has oniy lOst. ; Kurawaka and Swimming Belt will not, after all, make tho trip to Wanganui. Kurawaka haS gone liiine dgaiii,. and Prosser has decided not to take Swimmiftg Belt, so that tho stable will not be represented at thb meeting. To Kaiuiii Is now .trained by R. Johnson lit Wanganui* This trailer also lias, King's Birthday, Nicotihe, iind Billow: F. Lmd has . been schooling To Kainiii over the big fences at'.Waiigalnii, in view of the Tasman -gelding's cross-country engagements at Takapuna.. Lind will ride him m tho May Hurdles nest Saturday. Meri'io Rose ami Platypus are beilig spelled until tho spring. Mr. T. H. was puzzled by Bobrikoff's form at Hastings, and did. not back tho soil of Finland when ho won the Stakes. Tlio track work done by tho gelding prior to tho meeting induced Mr. Lowry to favour his chance on tho'first day of tho meeting) but when iho was beaten by Erl King arid Tlio Sc-er in tho Porangahail Handicap, his owner decided .it would bo useless to back him ill tho Hawkc's Bay Stakes: Antoiig the Otaki nominations I notieo the name of CoiißUelo. Tho Soult filly has been a long timo coming to' hand, aiid it is about time, she did something towards paying for her feed bill. Sho was started ill a haok race on the last day of. tho Wellington Cup meeting, but finished a long way boliind the threo placed horses. . , v M'Gratli iin.3 been trying Aberration over tho battens but so far The Possiblo gelding ■ has shown himself to be nothing moro than a moderate jumper. Moloch has been turnedout. ■ • Mr. H. Gaisford, owner of Swimming Belt, and. Gauze, paid a special visit to Porirua on Saturday to see his yearling colt by Men-' schikoff—Armilla at wol'k. Tho brother to Armlet was sent along at three-quarter paco; and Mr. Gtiisford . was delighted -with tho manner in which ho shaped. . \ Tlio aged Hippocampus' gelding Moccasin, who won the Great Northern Steeplechase in 1904, will again bfc seen in cross-country-events this season. : ' Thb three-year-olds Gold • Crest and All Red are both being spoiled at Porirua. Mr. J. O'Meara, owner of Letherin, do-; oided some little whilo back to. jump , the Lethe, gelding; When first schooled, tho' Pahiatua .Cup .winner. •> , as;i.vory,v.green,ii,buit, f Tt'ith; a;'-.little;.- practice,. ho.. has..improved .immensely,, and ho is now "onerof tho, best and!quickest-jumpers,ever.-'socn ill ,tlio..Waira-, rapii Mr. y,i O'Neill has. been riding; him t'o the hounds recently aiiddio. has 'Proved ti'good htintef.

Yesterday I had a look at the Stepniak— Miss Dalrymple colt who' was purchased at tho sale of Elderslie'yearlings last November. ■ Ho is 1 a really - iiice-lookin'g colt now, and I should expect him to race well' as-n 'two-year-old; •' ■ • Mr. J. Cress has - decided. . not-■ to race Thera and Sail Julio 1 during ' tho. winter months and they havo been turned out. i : Tho Vanguard, mard, Valinrt,' who raced unsuccessfully. at Masterton 'in -March, is now being used a3 a hunter by her owner but she is libt jumping so Well as 1 Slio 'did',a'' Cobplo of seasons ago. If sho provoment she may bo entered at the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club's meeting licst month. •. ; . Kai Errin is said to'bo'jumping very well at Awapuni, and The Officer gelding is likely to be more of, a success over tho hurdle's than he has been oh tho flat., . , Prospector ■ and Defeat, who' claim jumping engagements at Wariganiti and Ellei'slie; are both doing 'satisfactory • work at Awapuni.. • ' ■!' W. Davics goes through to WanganiJi with Ballai-at by this morning's' train. Tho Gold lteef mare is engaged in tho Borough and Connolly Handicaps. . • ■ . ' While Netiierby,' Hatley, and Cardiff Wcro .being-schooled at Aivapuiii on Saturday niorniiig, Cardiff hit a hurdle . and caino down. It was 'discovered that he liiid strained 9110 of his hind, fetlocks, and in oonsequeiice lie will- bo unable to raco for some time. ..Cardiff," who is a full brother to the hurdler Malioe, is owned by Mr. Pryce-Jones, of Marton, and Is hri inniate of Mr. C. ,E. Owen's stable at Awapuui. Ho was engaged in- tho hack hurdle eyents at Wansanui, and was being schooled in view of those engagements. . .

Julian will ride Cuiragno in. the Great 1 Northern Hurdles, and Locli Fyne in the Great Northern Stoeplcchase. . ...

Starina, who broke down at tho Auckland Easter meeting, has made a fair recovery, and will probably be taken homo to Now Plymouth this week. • "Whalebone," in tho Auckland "Star," looks upon Raiiparalm and Scotty as very harshly treated in the • Cornwall Hahdieajt at tho winter mooting. Discussing the handicap, lie says:—"Tho winner of the Cornwall Handicap last year, Uranium, has been given a great chance to repeat her performance again this season, and in lotting her off with lOst. Mr. Morso scorns to havo taken an undoubted liberty with her.". During the year 1007 owners of racehordes running in Germany divided £333,157. This sum includes tho premiums offerod to breeders, and i.s £12,G(J0 in excess of tho amount distributed in IfIUG. £191,717 represented tho winnings on the flat, and £135,'181 rewarded cross-country owners, while breeders received £595. The sums above-mon-tioued are thus'made up:—£33,907 from tho State, £139,111 from tho different racing' •Societies £'13,181 subventions accorded liy the Union Club, £9175 from tlio lloyal tirnditz Stud as the balance of the sinus won during the year after reduction of tho expenses incurred by tho racing establishment, £Gl(i2' representing the donations of princes and persons desirous of promoting apoi't—showing a total of £230,83(1.
