•T.'F. .TefTeral, with Chortle, Multiplication, Multiply, and Chemise, arrived at Trentham en Wednesday night. The. fivstnamed is spoken of as an unlikely starter in the Thompson Handicap, but he will be a runner in the Tvaflwny"Handicap, and Multiplication will carry the black and white colours in the big mile.

Town- in ,t.V Thompson ifandicnp and Treh.tham Gold Cup. while Desert Gold's only appearance at the meeting will be in the St. Lcger, run on the opening day. ' At. Gore on Wednesday C. Emersonagain rode three winner's. His successes were gained on Silent Way, Cliarletllle, and Bedshire. I ' : . - Oxenhope.. is regarded as a certain starter in : Ihe ' Thomnson Handicap, and B. Deeley is spoken of-an n lilcelv rider for. him. This may mean that Fnvnorador and Nones are . not ■to take their place in the field, A keen judge, wlio was'present, at the Timaru meating, says; that Oxenhope ran a pood Thompson Handicap trial in the Timaru Cup.. The Taumarunui meeting wiTl be held at Hamilton to-morrow. Good fields are engaged in all the events, and the leading jockeys will be tiding there. One of Doeley's mounts will be •Monojack, in the Cup. The local, light-weight, A. Keed, is going up to-day; and has a mount in each of the flat events. ' \Bee will probably make 1 a trip toAusv. tralia shortly, in company with other horses owned by Mr. 11. G. Taylor, who iiiionds'tb race his team in Sydney durinEr the winter. Once more the rumour is revived that Mr. T. H. Lowry's horses are to visit Australia. It is said that after Desert Gold has finished cleaning up the weight-lor-age races this\auluinn she and tho oth'er members of j the team are to go into' winter quarters. They will be taken up tally, and at the.end of August or early in September F. Davis will take at least, half-a-dozeii- horses ,tb Bandwick to prepare for ' the big (spring meeting there. Colour" is lent to this by the faot that Egypt is in the Derbies at Sydney and Melbourne. • - ■ ' • .■ • When the last mail'left Sydney the V.B.C. had not appointed a .successor to 'Mr W. A. Menzles. but, it. was freely reported that au untried man-a wellknown stockbroker—would get the billet. ■In Victoria' thoy are fond of trying new blood, and when Mr. Menzics got the billet he had had no previous experience. Neither had Dr. Lang, who was recently appointed to tho Gaulfield Club. "'. FIXTURES. ." 4.pril 6 and 8-Wellington B.C. Autumn April 12 and 13—Mhnawatu B.C. Autumn April 12 and 13—Southland B.C.
