Derby,.Oaulficld Guineas, A.J.O. fet. Lccer,, Sydney Oup, and lie dead-heated with Quiver in the Victorian Champion Btokea. One of the test of '»> s,o . ck Wolawa, who won (he A .li.C. fiei'l's. "'0 Ascot Vale-Stakes, and tho V.R.O. and A ,T.O St. Letters. Wolawa is at present doinc' stud duty nt Uastings for Mr. B.

,1. Watt, one of his progeny being the Float colt. Fontoon. Another good Wallace horso was Trafalgar, who vas a champion in his (lay. Other of his stock worth mention arc Lady Wallace, Mountain King (sire of Mountain Knight, now doing stud duty in New Zcalaiijl), Wilarl, Emir, F.J.A., and Wailalo: Wallaco has a good son racing in Australia now in Wallace Istaglass, wl 10 won the 0. B. Fisner Plate at the last V.R.C. Meeting, and ran third in tho Melbourne Cup. awo of hm progeny (Patrobas and Kingsburgh) won the Melbourne Cup. Fiery Cross is a notable absentee from flip Wellington Cup, and it is Irobablo that on tho conclusion of the Auckland Meeting ho will bo given a well-earned spe' l , . The Yaldhurst-trained Melee is f till on the easy list, which accounts for Ins omission from tho Wellington.entries. His next appearance under silk will probably be at Eiccarton in the autamu. Almoner has been freely engaged at the Wellington Hoeing Club 6 Summer Mcetine and. all going well, with him in the meantime, Boniform'B son "i 00 of O'Donnell's team for tho ™ rt, ' er ° fe ture Ho figures amongst the entiants for the Kclbtirii Plate, and may have: his first opportunity of measuring strides with Desert Gold in that event. The Dunediu sportsman, Mr. W. Crossail, has had the misfortune to lose)i is stallion, Tawhaki, who broke a leg www running in a paddock, and had tto bo at stroyed. He was bred in 1906, being a brother to Armlet, by Sfenschikpfl—Armilla. by Castor-Necklace. Ilis Public form wa moderate, but it was claimed for him that he was a very smart galloper when ho wrenchcd a joint, a mishap which closed his racing career. He lias been at ine stud in Otago for a few years, and has sired some promising stock. The' Kilbro liey—Latchct gelding Kilkee has liad another ehango of owners, and is now in Xnvercargill under the caro. of w flnlfpr Tho crooked-nosed one Bnotnu be a'lmyabie proposition in tho Southland district. The All Red filly. Trentham Rese,, iti expected to race well over short, courses at the West Coast meetings. She will, encounter most, opposition from Sam,sen, whn is also Tcvy speedy over short (US' tances. The pair named should be a class above the other sprinters racing on the °'l'he official correct card, for the Manawatu Daces is now obtainable in. the BtriwtH nf Wellington. The head Wellington depot'is nt the Post Office Bookstall 184 Featherston Street, oitfosito G.l'.U. Those who fancy Client for the Hanaw.atu Cup should bear in mind that in his winning efforts over a distance the Elevation gelding has always been favoured with a light weight. He is only a little fellow, and Bst. 101b. _ ma;y And hi.m out in what is almost certain to bo a fastrun rase. . Despite his repeated failures to safely negotiate the hurdles in a race at Ellerslie, Fisher is again doing such excellent track work that ho may be «nt out favourite once more in the Hurdles at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. ■ , Elocution has been paid up for in both the Railway and Christmas Handicaps at BUerslie on tho opening day. As her owner is also represented in tho big sprint by two very useful horses in lorm Up and Bimonidcs, lu may decide to reserve the black filly for tho milo event, m which, with 7st-. 101b. on her back sho Is sure to raoo well. Early in tho spring she showed winning form at Marton, and she was well fancied for the Stewards' Handicap, won by Form Up, but she contracted kidney trouble, and was not seen at her best at Eiccarton. A Press Association telegram from Auckland states.that yesterday was an off morning at 1 Eilerslie, the tasks boing of the steady order.
