Though tho Caulfleld Cup will not bo run till October, Mr. E. J. Watfs Mountain Knight is a less than double-figure favourite with the Doncaster Handicap winner Garlin next in demand. Judging by the times being put up in the training gallops the tracks at Riccarton must bo faster this year than over previously. Tho previous best inter Cup gallop was lmin. ilsec., put up by Chortle last year, but this year several horses have done better than this. A gallop that has stood out partuculraly was that of Glenroy, lmin. 41sec' Tho Victorian horseman F. W. M'Cabe, who has come across to rido Multiply in tho National Hurdles, was last week granted a license by the Canterbury Jockey Club, The final payments and acceptances for the Riccarton meeting aro what was expected, and notliing of note has dropped out of tho big events. Li the south Tim Doolan is regarded as very much like a certainty for the big cross-country event. His admirers claim that he has improved out of all knowledge, and it must be admitted that he will strip more seasoned than any of his" opponents. Still list. 71b. is a big weight for a little fellow to handle, and he will not want to take any liberties'with his fences, or ■ho and M'Flinn are liable to part company. Great interest will attach to tlio first appearance of Ngatdruanui, who, it is said, can jump like a cat. mth the pair to stand up the odds would be m favour of the Maniopoto gelding, who is the better horse on the flat. Jockey Joe O'Connell, who has been ridin" in Victoria for tho past two years, returned here by the Wimmera on Saturday. He went south the same evening to be present at the National meeting this week. Tho ex-New Zealand _ horseman C. O'Neill rode Flavel, who finished third m tho Australian Hurdles, run at Caulfield on Saturday. O'Neill was successful on the Flavus gelding at Sandown Park on July 28. At the Victoria Park races last month C Norman,■ rider of Swnnker, winner ol tlie Hurdles, was fined .E2 for jumping a hurdle before the start of tlie race. Lord. Grey, runner up to Xlxbridge in tho Australian Hurdles on Saturday, must bo accounted a very unlucky horse, as he has now been in. a. similar position in three Nationals. Tho Auckland sportsman Mr. B. Goldwatoi 1 , owner of Loloma, piissed through Wellington on Saturday on bis way south to see liis horse race in the "\\ inter Cup. Uxbridge, winner of the Australian Hurdles on Saturday, was successful in tho samo race in 1912, when, ho carried Bib. less than ho scored with last week. He also acted as runner- up to mgarara in the V.B.C. Grand National Hurdles. FIXTURES, A in? 10 12 U— C.J.C. Winter. Aug 26—Eg'mont-AVanganni Hunt SteepleAng^2G—Amberloy.
