Frnin Victoria- is 'announced the death of Mv. 1!. <'• f'liswy- on " of the best-1-iinwu nf Aiistraliiin owners, and formcrlv chairman of the V.B.C. ' The death is announced from London of' Mr. A. W. Cox, one of the most nnv Tiiinenfc owners of recent years. "Lucky Cox in he was known in racing circles, made his first strike by acquiring original interests in the Broken Hill mine,

and from that source alone his incomemust have boon enormous. O?i returning to England he spent money lavishly in acquiring the best of racehorses, his ambition, like that of most iroalthy sportsmen, being to win a Derby. This fen. , ; he accomplished first with Leniberg in 1910 nnd again with Gay Crusader two seasons ago. Few owners have had so many K°°d horses through their stable as Mr. Cox, who raced until the last English racing season under tho nom do turf of "Mr. Faivie." Apart from his two Derby successes, ho had the plensuro of seeing his colours carried to victory on Galcottia in the One Thousand Guineas, on Bayardo in the St. Leger and Ascot Gold Cup, on Gay Crusader in tli'.'. St. Legcr, on My Dow in tho Oaks, and on Aleppo in tho Ascot Gold Cun. There will be- much need for additional jockeys this season (says a writer in the "London Sportsman").. In this connection I am glad to note that the very well known New Zealand jockey Arthur Oliver is taking up his residence at Newmarket as soon as ho is demobilised. I have seen him once or twice and have been favourably impressed by Mm, so that I thought it well to collect some details of his career. The writer then proceeds to give a full list of Oliver's winnings in New Zealand, and this it can bo well understood is a fairly long one. Owners are reminded that entries for all events at the Horowhenua meeting close on Friday next at 8 p.m. Aβ the meeting follows immediately aftor the Otalri Winter meeting there will no doubt be a good entry in nil the events. The two-year-old Motuihi has now quite recovered from the cold which prevented him from racing a-t Awapuni.The Martian youngster now goes into winter quarters, and next season he is to be given a Derby preparation. Mr. V. Riddiford, who is at present in Auckland, missed the first acceptance for Coalition in the Great Northern Steenlechase. Coalition is likely to race at Wαnganui next week, after which he may be sent on to Ellerslje to contest the Winter Stee-pleohaso, which event he won last yea-r. Those who intend patronising the Marjborough meeting this week will here to leave by the Pateena, which sails at 1.30 p.m. to-day. That good horse Master Strowan was given a race- with the colours up at Awapuni last week. Tho crack steeplechaser di'.l not look ready, but the run will sharpen him. up considerably, and lift should again play a prominent part in the ciws-country events this winter. The frequent eleventh-hour scratching of several w<fll-pc>rformed horses has of late given cause for a lot of talk; On a. previous ocoasion when, a favourite was scratched for itn important event in the south the C.J.C. inquired into the matter, aud promptly disqualified the owner concerned. There may have been legitimate excuses for ihe seratchines referred to above, but owners 'ehouM realise that they have a. duty to the irublic, and when it. is not intended that horses should race they should be withdrawn-as promptly as possible. This applies particularly in the case of the two mast important events on tlie day's card. , Yellow and ha* been accepted for in the Egmotit Steeples at JTawera on Wednesday. Muck interest will be taken in his showing in view of his more important engagements later on. At tho conclusion of the Avondnle meeting Spalperlon was re-norted to ho lame, kit the trouble could have been nothin? more than sorenew, as the Siml■peen geldin? has been naid up for in the ITnck and Hunters' Steeplechase at the Egmont meeting this week.
