O'Connor, the weU-kn vjrn starter, will visit, the Manawatu meeting prior- to . his return to Auckland.' , .- v , : !!.'• Lowe lias already been engaged to ride Vi and' California ill their engagements at the. Hawko's-Bay'Jockey Clnb's meeting. Word received in the city yesterday stated that the iticqai ton trainer, Geo. .Matthews, was', lying dangerously ill in Christchurch..'!' ■ The yearlings, taken to Melhourne' by, Mr. Geo. Payne in 'February,' have been placed in work, and were' sprinted one morning re-' cently at Mentone. . ' • • .Nelson, by King Cole—My Id<k, one of . the best lmown performers: on tho New .Zealand turf in years gone by, died on Friday at the' age; of . 28. ; Ho-was the winner'of many of'.the'principal races in tho Dominion, together with several in Australia. ; Perhaps' his most notable achievement was in ;win-. ning the Auckland Cup. three years in succession. '.first as .a ;five-year-old with 7st. 81b., then as, a six-year-old with 9st. 81b., ; and next as an aged horse with 9st.. 121b. .( .Several horses, which had; been competing 1 at ■ .tho Trentham.' meeting, "were shipped Maori last night; They .were: Husbandman - and • Taskmaster, in charge of E Outts; Pcrlod'Or and Miss ; Mischief, R. J. Mason; Czar Kolohol, J. M'Kendry; iiurus. -and Ingoda, '• W. Clarke; and Los Aiigelos and Nautiform, R.'O'Donnell. ■ As Nautiform has incurred tho maximum penalty he will not be brought .north. to compete in tho Hawke's- Bay Stakes. \ J. ; M'Kendry returns ;to Oamanr .immediately in order, to prepare Ard Reigh .and Czar Kolohol for the North Otago Jockey Club s meeting next month. • H. Cutts .took Thistledown, Flitaway, Kil- ■ winning, and Whistlec'raft through : to yesterday morning's- train. /At t|iesini]o.timo TV. Davies made the trip with Ballarat, and J. Low© with Effort. . California is said to be fast returning-to his - form, of last winter,-. Aid at .the time of., writing; lie is a certain starter, at the Hawko's Bay Jockey. Club's meeting. North Head, who is being schooled over* the jumps at Hastings, is said to show a; lot of .-pace between,the fences, though he is!.at ;

present a very wild jumper.' Still he;has. plenty of - time, to:.improve before the' big winter events como along. ■ A big fio'd of' hack hurdlers; is 'engaged at the Maiiawatu meeting to-morrow, but with .two exceptions they are "a mediocre lot, : • ; Hyman, \vinner of the.Doncaster Handicap, was so a to an Indian buyer, .for: 2000-gmriea&V' with,, delivery; after. .the Australian- Jockey JJlitb's. meeting.:.- His' ;owner, who , was - no' doubt anxious to get a final race out of him, 1 stepped him out' in the R-ous Handicap on the - fourth day: at; Randwick; with the result that tho colt was galloped on and so badly , cut about that liis sale fell through'.:: . • .'ri' , llr v ' who : < wonv the Liverpool Crrand-.National last month; created a favour-' able impression by winning a steeplechase at Hurst, Park .a fortnight before the Grand Aational, and though the full-account of the raco has not'yet conio to'tand, it is prbbahle that ho/started a hot favourite for'tlio hi"' cross country, event at Airitree. ; / / / r " Miss Mischief's trainer.'; evidently anticipated that she would run out.' of the hack class at Trentham, for the Treadmill fiUv ;,fias been entered for. the Autumn Handicap olio mile and a furlong, to be decided at tho ' r '.- 'Club's meeting yon i K A n S , PoS v sec'ma • t-o be well looked' 'after .by tho JiandicappeTS, and, at Blenheim,, the :Maton Delaval gelding has .been: allotted' lOst. 51b. m the Opawa,Welter,- but the other candidates a-rp, such an, indifferent lot that Mr. -.Morse could scarcely ; havo given Kinslost, a pound,.loss....They are-the sort.of horses to ,wJiom Miss Mischief conceded. over 3sfr,; and a beating' on. Saturday.:■■/ ' ' -.Waikato and Ki omlin,'neither, of wlioni raced last season, are. among :the- entries for the-hurdle races at the .Takapuna meeting.' , . No fewer than :fivo jockeys had falls in flat races at the Autumn meeting of the Australian Jockey Club. . Only one of them was seriously injured, '.. / , " The Soultyhorse, Seddon, went lame,after racing in the-Sydney;-.Gup; and will riot be seenlendersilk^agam until,next.season.' So'' - proved the great-stayer, that he was expected . to. and it is said that a miJo and a -half is about as far as he cares to travel at racing pace. ;
