H. Goldfinch lms been erunled a. jockey s licence hy the Auckland Itacing Olub. Ho and .T. Conquest are shortly to cntqr tho 01 cuaip at Featherstou.

Mr. 11. Goyle has adviHed the commill.i>e of the Avomlalo Jockey Olub that present- indications do not point <o his boine able to frame tho handicaps for the club's Spring Meeting, and other arrangements' will probably be made.

Mr. P. A. Connolly, the well-known Went Australian owner, who was recently disqunlifk'd by tho stewards of the Boulder Olub, had tho decision reversed on appeal. The Ashburton Tlßcing Club's Snrine Mcotine will bo held on Wednesday and Thursday of tliia week. Amongst tboso down to comoctD in the Hurdles ' B kan Sobaetian. Thu Tlmaru horao will have the advantage over the two ton-wcicnta as they have been without a. race for a conaiderablo time, while San Sebastian has been kept well ud to the collar by the racing he had at Trentham and Biccarton. Sedd-el-Ballr, who ran such a bold race in the cbncludina event at tho OJ.u. Meeting, may bo tbe choice of baokera in the big handicap B. Enid, who handled him at Eiccarton. will again have tbe mount on Thursday.

Buripos, who seems to bp an imorovinK horse, may have most f rUinds in the 'Brae, mar IVolter Handicap, neven furlonss, and Minesweeper and the unreliable AgoaJaphus may bo in tbe front rank when the final furlong of the Haok Welter Handicap is entered upon. ■ .. The news that Binlane and his rider met with a hostile reception alter winning the Rosfihill Guineas on. Saturday IB not pleaaaDt reading to those on this eido ol Ihe water. Apparently tho crowd rosentcd the horse's improved form, afl compared with tho previous Saturday. It should be pointed out that the Guineas was run over a nino furlongs course, while tho Chelmeford Stakes, the week previous, was a, furlonE. further. Again, it should bo remembered that Binlane had met with an accident, and hart to be stopped in his work, so that those connected with him would be auito right to oxpeot a big improvement to be worked by the race no had at Tattoreall's Meeting. Apparently the racing uniform of the late Mr. G. P. Donnelly is not to be folded up and placed in retirement, for his daushter, Mrs. La Morte. has registered the scarlet and white striped jacket, and under her own- name. According to tho conditions of tho will of her lato father, the whole of the thoroughbred stock was beaueathed to Mrs. La Mortc.

When the last mail from America came to hand it containod an announcement that Lord Eosebory was going to ship .a team of horses to carry his colours m that part of the world., The appointment of Mr. P. M'Manenun as handlcapper to the A.R.C. will briflp about a ohango of trainers for his laree team of horeee. Colonel Soulfc has Bone into the stable of. J?- Jones.
