Williamson's active division at Ellerslie. Eoyal Rufus is in tho Avondale Cup, in wliidu ho has been al< lotted 6st.' 1211>., so evidently Mr. Morso hns not ft very high opinion of liim.

Tho Kiloheran gelding Ireland finished second in the Kalgoorlio Stakes, weight-•for-age . seven furlongs, on August 2G. The pinner was Mistico, who started at a vory short prioo after winning the Kalgoorlie Cnp, under 9st. 121b., on the I iiiiddlo day of the meeting. Tattersall's Club will hold a race meeting at Randwick on Saturday next, when ,£2250 will bo given in stakes. Several of T. Quinlivan's team are down to compete. News by yesterday's Sydney mail states that Eligible was doing-a seven furlongs gallop with Sasanof when he went wrong. The trouble,, being in the s'houlder, will probably mean the end of Eligiljle's racing career. ' ' At Rosehill last month tho ex-Now Zealand horseman, L. H. Hewitt, rode "Vole info second place in tho Cariingford Mile. The'-winner was Ileen Alwynne, who scored by a head. Both horses were rank outsiders, tho favourite being the Molbourno Cup winner, KingsburgS, who ■finished third.' ( The luck of Or. Scobie, the cross-coun-'try rider, is out in Melbourne. As tho result of the fall he got off Flash Bob in the Steepleoliaso at WiHiamstown the exRiccarton trainer, had his collarbone broken again. ■_ ,' A Prtss Assooiation message from Sydney states that in the first acceptances for tho Epsom Handicap there are no New Zealand representatives. In the Metropolitan Handicap Beo is the only Now Zealander.

Tho' local horseman, Ashley Eeid, faas been' engaged to ride tho locally-trained Devotion and Elation at the -Marton Meeting.- He will also be up on Orleans, Eangitoro, and Nobleman.

C. Emerson, arrives from t no south to-day, and '■ will go on to tho Marton Mooting, -where ho has been engaged to rido Hylatus, Bradamanto and Alecto.,

Tho All Rod—Northern Eose-filly, in C. Pritchard's stables at Trentham is regarded as the fastest yoangster in local stables. On Saturday afternoon fivo of 'the local twb-vear-olds were spriutod, I and Mr. H. Whitney's filly proved tho best. She is to go 6outh\f or, tho Dunedin Stakes next month. ' •' In : future the straight- four furlongs on. tho course proper at Trentham is to bo open' on galloping mornings for tho benefit .of tho two-year-olds. In Ireland Bome of the clubs go n little out 'of tho way to make tbisir meetingsattractive to owners. The Limerick programme for last month contained the announcement that stabling, with best of forage,; was free if application was made not later than thTee days prior'ito the commencement of tho meeting. A Sydnoy writer mentions that tho llew Zealand hurdle nuire Corrie is for sale for stud purposes. Her breakdown at BosehUl decided her owner, M. Hobbs, not'to.make.any further attempt to train her. C. Leader, tho English, trainer applied for an exemption of Iris head lad, "but re-fused,-one for himself, saying that ho E referred to join tho Army and do what 6 could for the country. - At Randwiek last Saturday week a gallop of interest, to New Zealanders took placa over a seven-furlongs course. This wab botweou tho Derby colt Kilboy and Bee, who has been showing winning form. The- seven furlongs was left behind in very .'fast time, and the pair were together at the finish, with Bee going the better. The local horseman, E. Hanson, has been engaged, for Firing Line, Martyress; and Polynesian at Marton to-morrow. At the same meeting B..Deeley will ride' Tyson. A Press Association! message from Dunedin veceived yesterday morning •states'that the telegram'sent on Friday in. connection with the Sombrero caso ihas been apparently misread. The only disqualifications imposed by the dfstnot committee were those of Alexander Cms., holm: (life) - and Thomas Ambrose (five years). ' . NEW ZEALAND TROTTING CUP ACCEPTANCES.
