SWAGGER SOLD. By Toloeraph—Press Aesociatlon-CoDjrieiil (Rec. November 19, 10.40 p.m.) Sydney, November 19. Mr. Balger,.of West Australia, has pup., chased the racehorse Swagger for 1100 guineas. DEATH OF SEATON DELAVAL. (By Telegraph—Press Assocaation.) Auckland, November 19. The English-bred stalliou, Seaton Dolaval, died at Motiti Island: to-day, NOTES AND COMMENTS. [BT Glkncoi.] The most important handicap to be decided at Eivcrlands to-day is "oil a mile and a quarter course. The ton weight, Sinapis, 9st. 91b., will have B. Deeley in the saddle, and is likely to start a. hot favourite. The St. Ambrose mare' has been racing well lately, but her weight is a big one, and if the pacejs fast it is quite on the cardsthat she "will be defeat, ed. Brown Trout, Bst. 101b., scored twico at lYpntham',-,i,]>utwrit,Riccartan in thb . Otaio Plate he was badly defeated. Beacon and Waipunui are. in the same sthble, and the former may not be started. Wild Bird,;'i7st.' lllb.. : and St;. Felix,'. 7st. 71b., make up the field. ■ The, former won a Vacs at Grevmouth in- poor company, but sho is hardly goud enough for to-day's race. St. Felix generally races . well on this course, hut he is- quite unreliable. This' will l>e his last meeting for flat racing, as ho has been schooled over fences for some time, past, and will in future figure in hurdle races only. Ho is to be ridden by J. Conquest, who came from Auckland with 13. Deeley to attend tho meeting. Parable, who has been off the sceno since she won the Dunedin Cup in' February last, will make her reappearance in the President's Welter, seven furlonsr.t, at Timaru to-day. Advices from Dunedin state that the maro is backward, and not likely to catch the judge's- eye for some time to come. .. Messrs. G. Morse and C. O'Connor, handicapper and. starter : respectively to the Marlborough Racing Club, were passen-. gers for Blenheim 'by tho • Mapourika, which tailed last evening. ■ There is tho material for an' interesting . race in the Timaru Handicap to-day. My Lawyer, who is No. 1 on tne card, may bo troubled by the distance, but Murnnra, who has the nice racing weight of 7st. 61b., will be right at home over a lengthy course. At Eiccarton in the Otaio Plate, with 9st. to carry, - Mr. H. A. ICnight's gelding jnade nearly all the running, and then Mat everything but Ceylon. • . Mr. H. Coyle has been appointed handicapper to the Gisborno and Tologa Bay K-acing Clubs. Mr. M; Hanhan, chairman of the Greymouth Metropolitan Club, is at present on a visit to Wellington. • He reports that the Grey Racing and Trotting Clubs both had successful meetings last month. For the New Year meeting the, Grey Club has increased the slakes from to .£I3OO. The Reefton Club; which races on December 26 and 27,' gives .£Boo,' and thi Hokitilca Club, January 3 and 4, about the name amount. Owners of trotters are also well eatered fer. The We.stport Club, on December 26 and 27, give 3 the Grey CIuH on December 80- and. January 3 •51250, and the Hokitika Club (four events). .£2.50. Over .<SOOO will be distributed ill stakes at tho meetings named between Boxing Day and January 4. Ashby, winner of the Flying Handicap at Warwiek Farm recently, is identical with the Obligado gelding who won four races a.« a two-year-old when trained by F. MacMnnemiu at Fllerslic. Since then ho has had a somewlint chequered career, and has passed througlrseveral bands. Ho is now trained at Kensington, and must have come to Mfnd very quickly. Only a month ago |he -was in . physic,'and about to commence training. . .'' ■ The. Auckland jockey, H. Currnn, who is now riding in Sydney, has met with some success lately, and has won three races on end. Another ex-northerner, in Trainor D. Baiinatyne, won tho Warwick Handicap with Strathroyale, at tho same time a* Ashby won the Flying Handicap-" There 'have teen several -.changes'.in Auckland stables lately. -Admiral Soult . has left ,D. Moraghan'6 stables, and is ' now trained by C. Coleman, and Gloy and Sedition have gone from Avondale, where ■ they TOro trained by H. French, to Ellers-' lie, into the stable of N. Cunningham. It is rumoured that there is every-pro-habilitv of Sedition and Gloy ;heing shipped to Australia at an early date. Mr. W. H. Hartgill, of Dannevirke, was in Wellington yesterday on a business visit. .; Two previous Auckland Cup winners, in Santa liosa and Waimangu, have been weighted in this year's, race jt<st. li-lb. and 7st. lflb. respectively. malign won in 1910 ho eamed-rst. 91b., and Santa Eosa'n success last December was achieved with 7st. 3lb. fixtures.
