November Handicap, the. last big .even.t.!'of the English racing season, will be run to-morrow. _ , In"., connection'- with'-, the Slanawatu Racing Club's, suiiinier meeting, to ■ be held on the A'wapnni course, Palmerston •North,, on-Friday, December 23, and the following Monday and Tuesday, nominations ' close for all' events, excepting tho Palmerston North Stakes, on' Saturday,' November 2G, at 10 p.m. • Tha .Takapuna Jockey Club's .meeting commences to-morrow, and will bo conoluded'on •Wednesday next. Lupulito and Nithsdale were double! winners at the. South' Canterbury Jockey Club's, meeting. Astraea is'istiH' lame/as the. Tesult of galloping on a uail'at the Carterton meet- 1 ing, nmi "W. Rayner lias been unable 'to' givo the, Daystar maro.much work since her return to Wanganui. , Bluejacket's half-sister Moholope, who is,engaged at the Takapuna meeting to-, morrow;,'is said,'.to-be improving..in evcrii gallop at. Ellerslie. •" : ; "' When' li horso: begins' winning sprint races 'there, is never any certainty as to. what: W'ill.stop it, and as. Eqiiitns.. carried ■ Bst. 101b. "arid € jvon -the biggest sprint handicap in New Zealand, even the big burden of ?st„ 01b. inay not stop her if she starts;'fit';and;;well' in tho'Flying. Handicap at Feildin'g' next week. ■ '. Uhlando is an instance of how. a good perfornier sometimes goes -to pieces. The aged. Uhlau gelding was a fair performer three seasons ago, when, - amongst other races, .he won;the Wanganui, aiid Taranaki Cups. During the last two.years he has failed to. catch- the judge's eye, rind, if he fails at Feilding next: week, where ho has. only a few pounds above tho minimum, his owner may consider the advisability of pensioning him off. A. correspondent .writes pointing, font that in the paragraph .referring to tho success of imported English horses racing iu Australia, tho best, performer of. tho lot,- Viz., Sir Foote, was liot mentioned: As stated by the correspondent, this horso won the Caullield Futurity Stake,- and tho Newmarket Handicap, and afterwards made his mark at the .stud ' by getting Prinee' Foote, one of the greatest, horses over raced' in tho Commonwealth. Lupulite, who won the sprint event on both days' at Timaru, lias apparently "come. back.".. The Lupin gelding is an instance, of .how. long a sprinter, which has not been knocked out by being tried over. longor courses, will sometimes last. Other ,notable examples of this woro tlioso two old rivals, Goldspur and Blaier, not to mention St. Denis and several others. The "Wingatui trainer J. M'fiombe, who has been out of luck's way for somo considerable time, had a turn of Fortune's wheel at the Lawrcnce meeting last week, whero ho trained four winners. Vi's fnil-biol.hei- in AY. Rayner's stable at AVanganui stauds nearly 1G hands, and is still growing. . ■' Persian Knight (Persimmon— Perfect Dream), .a threc-quai'tei l brother to Cliarlcmacnc ll.' has' already proved "a" stud . success, and, at the Queensland 1 Turf

Club's meeting a lorluight ago, one of Ins progeny,' Persian Jewel," easily won the Queensland-.Derby, in the good limo'.of 2min. 373scc. .\ .. . -\ 4 . ' A'. Jackson, has only booked one stall-, at the.Harp of .Drin llotel, Ellerslio, a fact which would malco it appear that John will-ba his only' Ycpreseiitativo at the Auckland' Cup meeting. .

North Head, struck himself while working at filerslie on but-the mishap, did not appear to be serious enough iO' interfere with his preparation. ■ Blrtckbird, who competed in one,of the pony-races; >at the Otahuhu Trotting .Club's meeting, is .by Wairiki. from Satanellai and consequently a half-brother to St. Paiil, St. Clements,.Mpn- Ami,-etc.. Ancnfc tho vexed question of apprentices': allowance, "Pilot," in tho ;Sydney "Hefcree 0 has the following:—"There.has bcen- a lot'said. and r printed recently on the'-subject of apprentice allowances, and I cini understand handicappers, more than anyone else, objecting to the system. When* an allowance is clainied for a horse, which then runs nowhere . with slb. or 71b. ; less than it was originally 'allotted, a. handicapper cannot entirely dismiss 'that performance when next, he is 'weighting it. .Therefore, finds himself in the unpleasant position of being almost- forced to take something off-a horse, despite his conviction that ho is treating : it too ; leniently, '.and that, with a capable rider in tho saddle, it is likely to spoil hiswork. ' For my own part, I : believe in tho-encouragement of apprentices, but there is no doubt as to some 'of the': lads being such . inferior Aiders that they could scarcely win on a top-notcher in'a bad field, and their ap•poarauco in the 4 saddle merely means that •it case of. 'not to-day' ..with anything they, are on. , Then, when by this means n : few pounds have boon, worked off. a horse," his connections can put up a. moro.competent horseman and bet," ■ ■' ;■«. : '■ ■ ■— ■ [• V RACING FIXTURES.
