[Bt Gi.r.NCOE.] • • j Tho • Woodvillo Jockey Club's autumn t meeting commences to-morrow,'- and, in v view of tho excellent acceptances receive „ od. it should prove a very successful T gathering. Rain set in at. Woodvillo j yesterday afternbon, and continued stead- a ily for three hours. It .will do good to z tho course,, which was previously very v hard. l - ' ' • I Sunset; ono of the candidates for tho v Maiden RaCo ut .Woodvillo, nulled up l lame yesterday morning, and was scratch- v ed for all engagements at the meeting. • t l Only two Waverloy horses will bo com- t pcting at tho'Woodvillo meeting, namely, j [linbkorangi and a candidate for th& i. Maiden-Race. ■ " : I : Tho earliest arrivals at Woodville nro c Rurik, Burton, and Millenial. t 'Mr. Sydney Pitt, tho Stratford .owner, 8 has withdrawn Paul, Red Lupin, and ' Glonforn :from. all their ' Woodvillo engagements. '. ' ■ . { : Soultifoum's pilot (Hector Gray) lias . togQ to Dnnedin, and, consequently, Soul-- , ; til'ol-m will not snort silk until, the Daiine-- I yii-ke. mating. . : ' r "* ! ■ Smiliix,'!the only winner'since tho c handicaps wero declared for the Wood- £ villo meeting",_will not .bo .brought down froin Ilawera." 1 s Mr. W. L. Mitchell intends to start v Rurik in both his engagements on tho i opening day; at Woodvillo. • , Tho horse i will be ridden by-W. Price, who rode tho i Stepniak gelding on tho tecond day at j Pahiatna. - Rurik will subsequently com- < pete at. tho Nolson meoting on the way £ to tho West. Coast. Ho is leased from A. I?iingle. tho Christchurch trotting liorso- ] man. Tho lease expires; next month, but , will- be renewed for twelve months. i . The/only member of J. W. Lowe's teatn i engaged at AVoodville was Rumble.' Lowe f and Jockey W. Ryan have both gone to- f Dunedin, howover, and ltimiblo : will, ] consequently, not bo sent to Woodvillo to 1 fulfil the engagement., • 1 1 : Owners aro given a final reminder that. f acceptances for tho first, day's events, tit | the vDanheVivke Racing Club's meeting . close to-night. . Telegrams should bo lodged early. , j Acceptances for the'first day's events at the Wangainii Jockey Club's, meeting close on Friday next. . The.Dunedin Cup will be decided to. , morrow at'SVingatui. , ■' ■! ■ I , ' Our Featherston correspondent states. •, that Bally Shannon wa's schooled over two . or three flights of hurdles at Tauheri- : nikau the'other day, and showed - a de- . cided aptitude for tho work. Longner, in 11. Fletcher's stable, is at present doing service as a hack on the roads. The Olßccr gelding looks very well, and/will shortly be placed in work : again with a view to preparing for sprint events. .. - * . . Jockeys* A. Oliver and S. Reid returned to Paliiierston Nortli from Rotorua yesterday.' Wliilo'ill the thermal district both horsemen combined business with pleasure, and Oliver rode tlireo winners at the Rotorua-race meeting. G. Prico lias recently broken in a couple of yearlings—one by Charlemagne from Watershoot, and the other by Martian from Cuiralba. Both youngsters have taken kindly to their work. : Merry Lawn, having freshened up dur-: ing a .spell, has now been taken in hand again by J. llatbaway at Awapuni. 1 : Comedy King, who won the-St. George • Stakes at .Cornfield last Saturday, is cijgaged in the Futurity Stakes, which event is. to bo decided on the same course next 1 Saturday. , ' The last race of the day at .tlio Roto- ! rua meeting was timed to.start at -1.45 p.m. On one of the days the horses were tent out to time, but there was a record delay at tho barrier, and tho field was | not dispatched until'G o'clock. Monologue is credited with beating | Rnngiatua over half a mile recently, and so may bo looked for in the ranks of the | successful ones before very long, i Brilliancy is now being used as a hack • by trainer Telford, and will probably bo • given more solid work very soon.- A St. I Ambrose—Kokiri colt is a recent addi- . tion to Telford's team of workers. 1 i San Lass'was-showing signs of sore- : ness quite recently, and was not to bo ! t ont to Woodville, but plans may poss sibly l>e changed on account of the heavy • rain that fell yesterday.

Trainer Atlfield has just taken DeWitto in hand acain. Tho Fame trainer is also working Mclologue, a half-brother (by San Fran) to Armistice. Metologuo is a promising sort, but may want time before being seen at his best. At Foxton lio was an unlucky ]>erformer. He will compete at tho Woodvillo meeting, which oi>ens to-morrow. Tho Winter Cup winner, Nyland, is now n'constant worker on tho tracks at Awapuni. At present lie 'is very much on tho big side. Mr. T. O'Neill quite recently offered Gladiole and Melo'.ogue to Mr. AttScld, the prico of each being 120 guineas. Mr. Attfield selected Melologne, and, sinco (j,o deal, Oladiolo lu.s been carrying all before her in tho colours of Mr. O'Neill, who was certainly fortunate in not parting with l)er at the prico mentioned. In view of tho recent comments in tho Australian papers upon tho extraordinary success of Jockey W. 11. M'Lachlan iii cup races, a number of people have been inquiring for C. Jenkins s record in cup races in New Zealand. It is not easy to obtain a complete record, but tho following list of cup races won by C. Jenkins will give some idea of (he prowess of lite I'orirua horseman. Ho ha* won the New Zealand Cup on Tortnila; Auckland Cup twice on All Itedj Canterbury Cup on Advance, Multifid, and Diabolo; Wellington Cup on Advance, Convoy, and Achillesj Dunedin Cup on Advance! Wangauul Cup oa Blur.
