AUSTRALIAN RACER IN SINGAPORE.

Bj Teleffraph—Press Association—Copyright Perth, May 27. A cable message from Singapore reports that the local Derby race was won by tho Australian horse Rosemead.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

[Bt Glencob.l A recent addition to the Porirua team is a colt by Malatua. He will occupy the box recently vacated by Millpond, who has been retired from the turf.

It transpires that Sir Lethe falsified all expectations at Wanganui, and did not do well after the first day. His failuro on Thursday was quite anticipated by his trainer, as tho horse refused all feed since Tuesday, and in addition was coughing slightly.

The failures of Royal Marine at Wanganui wero mystifying to his Wellington owner, who supported the chestnut gelding on both days.

Though Wimmera boro a very "tucked up" appearance at Wanganui, bis decisive win in tho Century Hurdles there will havo the effect of causing a considerable -thinning out of the Great •Northern Hurdles field, and Mr. Watt's gelding will assuredly start a very strong-favourite. Littlo attention need be paid to his reported unsoundness, as ho is now no worse than when he prevailed at Wanganui.

First Consul is a very unfortunate colt, and though he has only a singlo Maiden Plato to his credit he is always well up in the handicap. The reason for this is that the Masterton-trained animal always runs good races. In tho Balgownie Hack Handicap on Thursday he was puttings in a fine run at tho distance, and looked a sure winner, but got hopelessly pocketed, and finished 'fourth.

The postponed trotting meeting which was to have been held at Plumpton on Tuesday will be got off to-day. Sir Tristram-.has. twice won the Raukawa Cup at Otaki. In 1907 Be oarricd Bst. 81b. to victory, and last season he won with Bst. 71b., so that for this year's race Mr. Pollock did not feel disposed to let him in with less than Bst. 131b. The best treated horse in the raoe appears to be Penates, who, although he has never won a mile and a quarter race, has such good form to his credit in shorter races that he appears to be vory leniently treated with 9st. During the Wanganui meeting there were no fewer than six falls, but fortunately none of the riders were injured. Sir Geo. Clifford has, it is reported, secured first call on the services of the light-weight-jockey, C. Emerson, for next season. Berongaria, who has been a great disappointment for a long time now, has beon sold by Sir Wm. Russell for tho modest sum of 40 guineas., Consequent upon his win at Takapuna, the jumper King Hippo is bejng backed as if he had an outside chance of scoring in tho Great Northern Steeplechase, but his supporters will probably learn that winning a Maiden Hurdle raco at a suburban meeting and scoring in the most difficult crosscountry event of the season are two very different things.

Tho hurdle horseman, E. Murtagh, loft, for Sydney yesterday to ride Tilson in cross-country events in the Commonwealth. ' A two-year-old filly by St. Ambrose— Waingongoro is shortly .to join J. Hunn'a team at Hastings. Owners should note that acceptances for the first day's events at the Otaki Maori Racing Club's meeting close on Monday. Master Soult is apparently going along satisfactorily in his preparation, as he appears among tho acceptors for the Cornwall Handicap, to be run at EUerslie nest week. An electrical invention, that should prove of interest to racing men, has been devised by Mr. E. J. Walsh, of Blenheim. As described in the patent specifications it is "an improved means for automatically operating semaphore or like signals, and signal bells, at will, or at any pre-deteraincd time." Aluminium arms, on which are represented the weighing, saddling, and starting times of each race, are automatically released, and displayed at the required time, and an electric boll rings with each signal. An interesting working model of the contrivance was exhibited 'to the stewards at tho last Marlborough races.

From Kunioou stud, Nanango (Q.), is announced the death of Trciitrosc, a valuable brood maro, who in her tirao bred the. Derby winners Waster Bemio and Balfour (Queensland Cup) and others. Tren.trose was a daughter of Trenton, and when Hobartvillo broke up in tho Andrew Towns days, Jlr. Darley got her dam Guelder Rose lor 150 guineas.

A Melbourne* writer points out that tho leading Australian siro,, Malster, being by a horse of the 20 family from a No. 21 maro,' whoso siro and grandsiro were both of the samo branch of 23 tribe, Sinister is , thus very much outside tho best siro families 'of the Bruce Lowe cult; but when his pedigrco and wealth of siro numbers which represent its components are examined, it is readily seen that the brown horse is not deficient in tho most successful sire strains. Master's family, 21, takes its source through a famous winning channel from Queen Anne's Jfoonah Barb mare Cte whom Longbow, Musket's grantlsire, traced -in much the same way!, a celebrated representative of which line in Australia was Tho Australian Peer, who like the present-day crack came- from the Anonyma branch. With Malstcr the tribe has obtained the highest distinction.

Bnabdil 11. who won a race in England on April 12. and was subsequently bought by Lord Rosobcry lor •'inn giiintw, had a lengthy career in Australia and

India before going to England. Originally, owned by Mr. J. Wilson, jun., he won good races in Australia, inclusive of the Birthday Handicap (1J miles) at the V.R.C. meeting of June, 1905, and the Richmond Handicap at tho V.A.T.C. meeting later in tho same month. In tho following season, among other races, ho again won the Birthday Handicap. Subsequently ho was sent to India, being bought for over .£2OOO by Sir. Dwakods Dharamsey, at that time Sheriff of Bombay. He ran for tho Viceroy's Cup in 1907, finishing fourth to PitzGrafton, and was intended to run for it again the following year, but broke down. Eventually ho was brought to England, and started this season by running second to Florestan at Lincoln. Boabdil II is a bay or brown horse, by Bobadil out of Circle, and is therefore a grandson of Bill of Portland, sire of Bobadil.

Concerning D. Maher tho "London Sportsman" says that Mr. Fairie has improved upon tho previously existing arrangement for Manor to ride BayaTdo in all _ ilis engagements by securing second claim on his services. It had been prematurely announced that Mr. Leopold do Rothschild had next call to Lord Rosebery, but that is erroneous, though it is not improbable that an agreement will be ratified by which. Maher will bind himself to the bluo aud yellow livery whenever his claims admit. Thus, from having determined at the close of last season to be a free lance in future, we find tho crock jccUey more tightly fixed up than ever. Nor is this surprising, for by comparison his services in tho saddle axe invaluable. His career in this country may be truly described as having been an unbroken march of success, and it is recorded that he has ridden a thousand winners, among them having been included three heroes of the Blua Riband, in Rock Sand, Spearmint, and Cicero.
