Tho Supremo Court'case, in which tho. j 1 trustees of tho racing fund were being' ■ .-sued, by-the parents of the lad Jones, ' who was killed at Hastings some months * ago, has been settled. .. ■ A cablegram received in Wellington on Tuesday records a further success for the .Zealand ihorseman, H. Gray, who rode Recalled in a race at Melkiitrno.-: Recaller is raced by , Mr. Darcy Eccles, bwiier of Wallalo. Fino weather is promised for the Na- ■.■ ' pier meeting, which opens to.-day. '.In |ho Hurdlesj the top weight, Marble Head, is likely'to "bo th<v public fancy, as he finished very strongly in fourth place, hehind Papalitz at .Lima, by Birkenheacl,' and' the ' Gold ■Reef horse Formulate will probably carry most. support'in tho 1 Esk Hack"Handicap, while -Royal Scout, .-who is to he ridden "by W. Bell, will not want for support. ■"'. ' Marshal jM'Dohaldwill doubtless bo the favourite in tho Cup, nut'on.r.U sides this race is voted- very open On. Wanganui form, Moutoa Girl must possess a good chance, and the locally-owned' Ladoga is also sure of plenty of support. Arlington, one of Mr. P. Soamcs's representatives, will .have Oliver in tho saddle in the Trial Plate. Theiro aro several two-year-olds in this race, including Ringform (Boniform—Ringdove), Hoy (Ilymcttus—Links), Martina (Birkon■head—Marty), and Tetc-a-Tete, the ■'halfsister to 80-Vikoff. The last-named filly has been galloping well on the tracks liut she is .very greon. Arlington,may. ' run -Qii better than tho others as he has raced over a distance.- . .•....,. .Settler and Tatimi may bo the. most enquired for in the Welter Handicap. Both those horses have engagements in 1 the Cup, but it is understood that they will t&co in tho Welter. ■ •■ ■■'■ Tavistock, a dual .winner at Dannevirko, is the best known of the Sapling Stakes field. Hussen, the'half : sistor to Napper, ran second to Indigo after getting away badly at Hastings on Jami- • '■■ ary 2. Oliver will be on Kimbombi in tho Hack Welter Handicap, and he and Banian may bo tho public fancies." Of the Flying field, nothing is going better on the tracks than Blue Lake, but,- as in the Cup, tho issue in this race is very liard to anticipate • At- a meeting of tho stewards of the Wairarapa Racinß Club, held on Tunsday, four tenders woro received for tho creoxion of tho now stewards' stand on Tauherinikau racecourse. The accoptance of a tender was hqlcl over for a week.- Tlio now building will bo an up-to-dato structure. At Riccarton on Wednesday morning Daylight' Bill (Easton), Kilmeny (L. Hegarty), and Sunbeam (Douß.las) aid .1 round of the schooling hurdles, putting ui) a track recrfrd of 1.47 for the journey. Daylight Bill, who had-the outside running, showed to most advantage, but it was a very satisfactory performaiico on'the part of all three horses. j Siys a To Aro ha correspondent:—The T.ionhorso Mokauiti, owned by Mr. J. T. Fctct-, Xβ Kuiti, when being ridden

from tho racecourso by. his trainer on Monday, was run into by a motor-car near tho traffic bridge. Tho rider was thrown over the fence, and tlie horse was so much knocked about that it is feared he may havo to bo destroyed.

Soultbino, tho full-brother to tlio speedy Soultlinc, made his debut under silk at Te Aroha on Monday, when ho contested tho Piako Hack Handicap. Soultbino is not unlike his illustrious brother (says tho Auckland "Star"), but in the raco ho was never prominent

Yankee-. Doodle competed in thrw event-3 at tho To Aroha meeting, and ,was ridden by a different horseman each time. On tho first day, he was hopelessly left, and again on Monday in tho Waihou-Handicap, ho was last to leavo tho mark, aftor delaying tho, start for some considerable time. • He, however, proved his 'worth as a galloper by beating all but Spalfish-in the race. Ho was produced again in tho final race, and after delaying tho start by clearing out with his rider (M'Devitt), it .was decided to blindfold him. Afterwards ho stood quietly, but was slow to movo when tho barrier rose, and was in tho rear position when a furlong had been covered. A lot of ground, however, was mado crossing, the top, and when_heads wero turned for home, ho was in tho lead, the advantage being maintained to the post. He was the outsider of tho field.—Auckland "Herald."'

When-Black Northern won the Manawaru Hurdles at To Aroha on Monday, a noisy demonstration- was made by a section of the crowd, both horse, and rider being vigorously hooted on' returning to tho paddock. To thoso who were not conversant with the pecu'iar moods of the Salvadan gelding, Black Northern's performance looked very suspicious, as on the first day he was a quarter; of a mile in tho rear when Rapid passed the post, but it did not tako long to convince the stewards that everything was above board (says a northern exchange). There can be no doubt about Black Northern's capabilities as a hurdler if he can be kept on tho course,, but he has ran off so often that only a very brave man would support him solidly in his* races. On Monday Black Northern complete'd -tho course for the first time out of-''about 15 starts.
