When Toro Toro won the County Handicap at Ellerslie ho carried no less than lllb. overweight. His owner-traincp , , C. King, must , have been very confident of the success of liis gelding, when he clioso to confound the handie;>r>per in this way.

Trainers R. .T. Mason and U. Hobbs left their teams.at. Tteuthar/ after tho Auckland meeting, but tho trainers named visited Kiccnrton, and are expected, back this week..

Sasanof is now running oiit at Tren-. l.ham, and the Molbouroo Cup aud GreatNorthern Derby winner is regarded as an unlikely starter at Hip -Wellington meoting.

After tho brilliant form of Bisogno at Ellcrslie is a feeling of regret amongst' sportsmen tliat- the.'Bczonian horso was not nominated for the Wateiy 100 - Plrtte at Trenthaiu, as a ■ meeting between he and Desert. Gold would be very interesting. ' ]

J. Chaafe, his death while riding at Dargaville on Saturday was an .apprentice attached to-.the stable of his father, the well-known trainer (if that name. In his day the ..elder Chaafo wasa well-known horsoman, and rode St> Paul in most of his races.

. While racing at tho Stratford meeting iliQ Aclul.lee ware Peroneal .went -yvrpng, ind is unlikely to bo eeen out again :his season. Tho daughter of Prelude las failed to win a iaco since leaving ho Otaki staples last year.

An Australian nuvei' was after Tete-a-fete, but Mr. T. ft. Low-ry wohlil not put a price on the daughter of Royal Fusilier, ns ho is anxious to keep her for broeding'-jnirposes. B. Doeiey put up an unenviable record on tho concluding day•-of the A.R.C. Summer Meeting. A'ter notching a dead heat on Colonel Soult in tho Grandstand Handicap, he rode Biplane, Bjmoter, Sasanof, and Chelom.i in the four remaining flat wees, all finishing: second. Visitors by the incoming Sydney boat yesterday included two ex-New ZenlnmTers in Peter Keith aiid Harry Moore. The former is ovef , to negotiate with G. Price for the wile of some hz/rsps he has mir ported from England. H. Moore has been in business in Adelaide for some years past, but if a. suitable opportuii'ity offers he will nsain settle in the Dominion. In the 'nineties Monro -\yas one of the most capable hurdle riders in the Dominion.
