[By tli.ENCor.l Mark Kvan was very positive that lie won the Auc.fel.iml Easter Handicap on Sonltorh, and when "Whalebone." of the Auckland "Star," asked him if it was a fact that he thought he had won. he replied, "No, I don't think, I am sure, and nothing will convince me . therwise." Soultoria was placed third. The growing popularity of the Marlborough Racing Club, and the increase in stakes for the Autumn meeting, make it probable that record entries will be received bv the secretary,.Mr. L. Griffiths. Nominations close to-iiiorrow night. Owners are romimlej that acceptances for the first dav's events at the Wellington Kiicillg Club's Autumn meeting close at t) o'clock to-night, with the clubs sccYntnrv. -Mr. A. E. Wliyte.

The two American jockeys I-. ONeill and J. Reifi', were at the head of the list of winning jockeys in irauce last season, the former with- 183 and the latter with 115 brackets. V filly by Ueranian from Prelude has joined flic active workers at I'onnm. Slourton is In be tried over big fences at Trentham, and F. Flvim has been engaged to ride, .Mr. I.ovutt's gelding. Word from Napier states that Maori King's withdrawal from tlie A.R.C. Easter Handicap was due to (lie son of 31 em wee striking himself Dm day beiore the acceptances. .Maori King is stated to be all right again. ,„. " ,„.., . ... The intentions of Sir Gen. Clifford with reference to the Thompson llaiKiienri will not be known until. the acceptance-' are published to-morrow. .'I he Canterbury Mmrtsiuaii has three strings to his bow, viz., Counterfeit, list 31b.; .Masterpiece, Bst filb.; and Ileatherbrnc, 7st. 111b. There is a disposition in certain Ojiuirters to befriend the hst-named, but Kiccartoil form points to Masterpiece as having made "rent improvement, and proonbly he will be the elect of the stable on the day. The long straight down the back ot the course at Trcnl.ham wo ltd suit the Dciby winner to n nicety. When riding Torfano ,'n a steeplechase at Aspemiale Park, -Melbourne,, on .March 110, the New Zealand jockey,. S. O'Neill, accomplished a rather clever piece of liorseiiianslii|). One of the other cnmlidates fell ami Torfano cannoned into the fallen horse and unshipped O'Neill. The latter astonished the crowd by vaulting into the saddle again almost in the same stride.

Llovds, who was sent out favourite for the Brighton Hurdles at Ellerslie last Saturday, cut his stille rather badly during (he'runuing of the race ' Dearest is a' somewhat -unfortunate, animal. Several times this season she has been galloped on in .raises. At New Plymouth and Hawcra she got into trouble, and on Tuesday her hocks again got stripped while, she was contesting the Great Autumn Handicap. All going well in the meantime, the Auckland. t>v.Ji-y.ear,fdd Prince Siiull is io.be brought south to. fulfil his engagements at the Manawalu and Hawkels Ba j v 'VSlfet-is n; w:--n. :v ••new.' A.

Telford with Dearest and Gispv Belie, who were sent direct to neuili|iiavters on their arrival from the south yesterday. The remainder of the Porirua team go over this moraine. ,Thi' two victories of Autiimniis at Riccai'lon put Sir Geo. Clifford over the .EIO.OOO mark. This is the largest amount <'ver' won in a single season 'by horses from the Chokebore stables. The Australian Jockey Club's autumn meeting will be concluded at Randwick to-morrow. T. Prilcliard was at the head of the list of winning hurdle riders, with nine' successes when the accident at Feilding laid him aside.
