E. Whyto, of tlio .Vf cllin?- 1 ton Racing Club, has a notification in tins < i«ue reminding owners that entries ior i U,o 'Wellington Cup meeting closo tomorrow night at 9 o clock. Entries for tlio I'ahiatua meeting, t/> - lio held on January 30, close at 5 p.m. on January f." „ ~ Tlifl southern horseman C. Micnon arrived'in town from the wrath mferdav, and will go on to Auckland to-daj. Tho local jockey. A. Hied, will go north at Iho same time. Both arc returning to ri((i> at Awapuni on the second dny. an<l i hev will also ride at Ashhurst on DccemKnsa" Pink will not have the services of Q. Young in the Auckland C«P. as ihat rider is required to ndo HwitlicrC °Vi«ifor< to the Mnnawnhi Cup meetin- will he glad to know that, as was the case ln-fore the war, a fast, special train will'leave the Awnpimi racecourse after the last race, on Boxins Day, and will arrive at Thorndon at. 10 p.m. Considerable interest attaches to the running of the Foal Stakes at Lllerslio. Survevor is sure to go out a short-proeri favourite, but those who closely watched the running of the C.J.C. AVelcome Stakes declare emphatically that Warplanc was ■•«rv linluckv, and received some »n----lobkcd for attention a furlong from the winning post. 'Tiven then lie finished ••tronolt straightened up. and wi.« onlv lycnton l>v n npck. Both liave started'three times this seaeon. Surveyor's record is two wins and an unplaced performance, and "Warplana has a win and two seconds to his credit. Onslaught still dominates the market in the B«ilway TTnndieap at the Auckland meeting. The Chokelwre ireldmg will be meeting a better cb>ss Hiari he luis vet encountered, and with 1."1b.' on his back he may find a difficulty in beginning with horses like TCi'.? Jitipin, Abbey, Hymestrn. and Nanna. _ The three-year-old Melee is engnged in the Shortland Plate, run on the opening day of the Fllerslio meeting, and on this account hi* owner may decide not to run him in the AncMrnd Cup. Tt is understood that boih TCilmoon and Meleo will start in the Great Northern Derhy. The latter was much above himself when he contested the Soring Plate at BiccarInn and he should do a lot better at Klicrslie. He is l>y Martia* from Form, less, and though the former has sired many stayers Formless was only a sp-rtil-. ter. "and several good juges hold that JHea will not stay. G'vnio was taken to F.llerslie in charge of F. Christmas, and on arrival there his former trainer, F. T.noml), was to tako the imported horse into hip stable. Some (roubie is being experienced in getting a rider for Cynic, who is weighted at Gst. Hlb. in the Auckland Cup. The Yaldluirst team for the FJleHie meeting commenced its journey Wellington yesterday. It consists of Kilmnon, SnM'evor, Melee, and two two-year-olds. Olivine the holidavq the chief totalis"tor* inspector. Mr. P. J. Ivelleher, will attend the Manawatu, Ashhurst, and Mnrton meetings, »"d his assistant, Mr. T>. Ardcll, will officiate on the West C °H St 'Grav came np from CliristeluiTch on Tuesday, and later on -proceeded to Auckland. He still recmires the services of a stick when walking. The Rircarton trainer, A. M'Aul.fr. has leased TCilrnsh, with a purchnsinT clans-e of .651)0. Kilrush will race in his new owner's colours at Ellerslie. Two three-year-old geldings bv Kil-b'-anev. from Divinia and Buthful respectively, won races at country meet:'in"s in Australia-recently Wlien Mnbn won lb" two miles hurdle ;-.ee at. Sandown Park this month. Ihe lime-given for the distance 3min. "l--ec. This is a record, the previous best being held by Lord Nmrar, who covered the two miles in 3min. '103 sec. lit Enndwicb lust October. At Riccarton B. Emerson has taVen lip Moorabbe and Don Francisco, and they are. both paid to he looking well. It remains to be seen if the hurdler will stand up to his work. The two-year-old fillies NAntvillo and Warlovo have been sent homo to Mr. C. G. Dainty's stud farm, and will be spelled till the autumn. Wardancer. after a good snail, has joined the active list at I'iceiirton. l!ii)lane's new owner is snid to be Mr. T. A. Stirton, owner of the Au-ilralian cvaclc mU'er, Cetignc. The price paid K'.OOO guineas) is a goo;! one, but is nothing like what Mr. Greenwood could have secured when the Comedy King liorse was onrryinsr all before him us a Ihree-year-old.
