An inquiry resulted in W. O'Halleran being fined £o for interfering with Magdala and £5 for crossing Canrobur. J'Halloran rode All Ready, winner of the .•ace. The ,programme of the Wellington. Racing Club's Summer Meeting was passed at the meeting of. stewards held ust week. Compared with • last year, ;he stake money has been increased by 1)0 sovs. The Anniversary Welter Hanlicap on the opening, day has been in!i cased from 300 to 400 sovs. On the iecond day the Disposal Stakes has been leleted, and in its place the Camp Handicap, of 200 sovs., five furlongs (hack jonditions), substituted.

He moved . trifle stiffly prior to that event. It s stated, however, that his trainer, M. iobbsj- -had f no fear concerning .the re. ult, nor did Mr. Luttrell, who is /creltod with the. statement that the Kilroney colt would win easily and would Iso outstay his stable companion, asanof, in tho 'Melbourne City. Birkful has changed hands , recently nd will in future do stud duty in tlie usborne district. The Government tax paid, in connection ith the spring meeting of the Auckind Racing Club amounted to J!3l2b. Ardenvhor, winner of the New Zeaind Cup, has been raised 131b. in the "Uckland Cup, Snub has gone up' 10lb„ nd Mullingar 41b. John Barleycorn, 'h& finished fourth in the Cup, third 1 Ti e 1 Y e I tro P° litail , Handicap, and won he Fendalton Handicap, has been raised ue pound. The best treated horse in the Jce is certainly Blackall, a five-year-d, who gets in with 7st. 81b. Th'is is b. less than he was awarded in the lew Zealand Cup. Varco waß the most successful sire at le recent C.J.C. meeting. Marco 80110 nice), Thaddeus, and Fabriqufctte, creited with with four wins. Another imDrted horse, All Black, was next with ITC6 winners of three races, Bunting lack Ada, and Devotion. The Victorian Racing Club are havin» lore than their share of bad luck in : mnection'with t)ie season's spring meet- ' ! g , s ' , Postponements on account 1 r bad weather is quite a record, and one : lat the club will not be anxious to sat for a very long time to come. The : including day's racing is set down for 1 ;xt Saturday. i While working at Trentham last week < i€ C.J.C. Oaks winnor, Devotion, de?loped a severe attack of azoturia, ' hich will keep her oil' the tracks lor a : >uple of months at least. This comaint generally manifests itself in very Jalthy horses, and is due to them mak- • ig too much blood. The Medallion 1 Jrse, Achilles, once suffered very badly 1 ith it. Another member of H. Tel- ' ir <ls team in the Bczonian—Soprano ' '0-year-old, has been off colour lately, ' id'sems to be suffering from a chiil. lie trainer named is taking Marsinali 1 id Probation to .Ashhurst to-morrow. - he former will start in the Cup, and ' r. Bidwill's filly will raco m the hack ' ents. The last named has been a fail- 1 •e so far, and is still a maiden, though ; !r track work is always of a high order, id if only she would repeat it in her ' ices no ordinary hack event would be ; yond her capabilities. ' Mr. A. E. Whyte, secretary of the Wei- i ngton Racing Club, who has been on a , sit to Melbourne, is expected to arrive i town by the Moeraki this morning. If Bimeter starts in the Feildmg c akes he will have to carry , a penalty } 10l>., and a success in tbat event juld mean a 31b. penalty in the Rail- , ly Handicap at Ellerslie, while should ho' ,■ i reserved for the Oroua Stakes, winch ] i won last year, a win in that event s juld not incur a penalty for the big j rint at Ellerslie. < It is rumoured that negotiations are 't hand for the sale of Sasiwof to tho I idian buyer who would havo taken 3 ilboy had tho Derby winner passed tho

required veterinary -examination. Under the circumstances, those who fancy the Martian gelding's Auckland Cup chance would be well advised to hold off for a week or two. C. Emerson went through, the Winton meeting without notching a win. His best onort was a second on Golden Rupee in the Farewell Handicap. The sporting columns of the "Weekly Press and Referee," it is announced in this issue] are now under entirely new management. The racing and trotting staff lias been considerably strengthened, and the turf notes of "Wayfarer," "Clubman," and "Antistlienes" are newest features, which are distinct in their originality. • "Lancer" and "Janus" have beon entrusted with the expert trotting notes and news. This branch of sport lias grown at such a rapid rate—and the "Weekly Press and Eeferee" has certainly assisted largely in building it up— that much more space is being dovoted to it. Besides being the official calendar of. the racing and trotting sport, it is al6o the official organ of the Gun Club, Kennel, North Island Sheep Dog Trial, and other associations.
