Though, the steeplechaser, WaitaTero, is in Work at Porirua, he will not be seen out at ' ibe Wanganui or Auckland winter meetings. North Pole, who won but very few races in this island, has proved almost invincible on the West Coast, and his new owner 'must already have shown a good profit over the purchase of the Birkenhead gelding. On the West' Coast and in Southland tho general run of racehorses are a very poor, lot, and a moderate' performer from the North Island rovided'ho is up to weight) will always pay'j either of the districts named. , i ' Advantage's half-sister, Chattel, who proved fe failure in the registered ranks, may shortly be seen racing at the Miramar pony, meetings. . ; "> While some physio was being administered to Lupulite about a fortnight before Easter time the chestnut,gelding closed his mouth cm the bottle, and, ae a result, his mouth and tongue were badly_ cut. But for the timely arrival of a veterinary surgeon; Lupulite was in danger of bleeding to death, but he made a good recovery, and was able to looe at the Riverton. meeting on Easter Mon-' J.- Farmer arrived ,from Riccarton yesterday morning with Consolation and Provocation, and went on to Trentham. S. Waddoll also,,arrived from' the south, and took half-a-dozen horses to Trentham. • J.

The first race'will commence \ f,- m '> and ' the - programme of six events will bo concluded about five, o'clock. There are over fifty horses weighted for the Thompson Handicap, so that it would bo natural if backors held off .till the acceptances, but already several -horses havo wen supported straight out and in/doublfes Horses asked for are Los Angelos, Czar Kolohol, Abongino, Sir' Tristram, Effort and Bollin. ' Those have been coupled with iirtaway and Courier in the Railway Handicap, and with others in a less degree. The success of Irishman in the Oakleigh i'Jato, Hyman in the Doncaster Handicap and Montcam.in the All Aged Stakes, once more reminds us of what a wonderful hrood Sraflty had twelve foals, and no fewer than nine of these were colts. More remarkable however, is tho fact -that seven of these nine proved very successful stallions. 'Trenton, her nrst-born, was undoubtedly tho best, • but Niagara Cuirassier, Zalinski, Havoc Lancaster, and Siege Gun, have all sired good winners. Havoc, who was by Nordenfeldt, is.represented this season by those brdhant performers,, Hyman and.

A BOOKMAKER FINED. IBT TKLBOBAPH—I>SESB ASSOCIATION.) _ ,„_, Auckland, April'l6. C. M'Glashan was charged at the Police Court to-day, that on April 10, at Ellorslio racecourse, on which the totalisator was in use, he made a bet on the result of tho Eden Handicap after-the time'of starting for the race. Chief oDetective Marsack said* the charge was laid under Section.34 of tho Gaming Act, 1908. Bookmakers wero licensed to bet on racecourses where totalisators were used, and one of the regulations was that they should not bet after the tune advertised for the starting of a race. Defendant was' a licensed bookmaker. The starting time of the Eden Handicap ' was advertised at 3 p.m., but' it was delayed. At 3.20 p.m. the dofendant accepted a wager from a man on a horse taking part in the Eden Handicap. Mr. London, who npprared for defendant, said the starting times of races were often late. Other bookmakers were betting in doubles nil round him, and he thought he was entitled to go on straight out. The defendant had been under a misapprehension, but had stopped as soon as tho detectives pointed out his error. The Bench said they would lot the defendant down lightly, and inflicted a fine of £5: and costs. . •
