[Bγ Gmncoe.] ' A final reminder is given that entries for all-events at tlio Tloroivhonua Aleetiucr close to-night at o'clock. Weights for the minor events at the AVanganui Meeting are due today, and acceptances for all events close 011 Mondav next at 8 p.m. The. Marlbormi9(h and Timaru fixture!) will be concluded to-day. (The name of Minister has.to be added to the-long list of winners of both liur.die races at one meeting. The Spalixten gelding was in receipt of 91b. from Kuripns, fio the form roads well. The new owner of Sir Fanciful is Mr. ,T. M'Donnell, of Bulln, nnd .the,Rokeby horsß goes in the stables controlled by J. Coyle, at Mai'ton. Bore'and Polthagup, who were successful iii the steeplechases at the figmont Meeting, .will both lmve t(> put \\n Mlb. penalties'in the Wangnniii Steeplechase, to .be run next 'I'lnirsday. The Wangnmii Trotting Club is soon to nut down n truck 611 iirn'ew iiroperty, Jnverpool Park, and it hopes to have the iwovk finished and the necessary build-' ings erected by the time its annual ineetinjr comes round next season. A Sydney writer" mentions that when Biplane previously visited Ennthviek he was regarded as a very gross horse., and wanted- a lot of galloping.- Thifi; lie got, mid morning after morning he put lip the fastent time. His present trainer does not prepare him in this way, and ii looks as if the son of Comedy King. will not be ready to show his best form ,nt to-moi'i'ow'n meeting. ' The Clanranald horse Broadsword, a Doncaster Handicap winner, jot a good advertisement as a sire at Cnullield hist mouth, when the two-year-old Section scored in the handicap event, and beat a good field. He ran the distance inlmin. 2?Jsec, which is a good gallop on this course. ■ ' Tho Australian Jockey Clube postponed Autumn Meeting is set down to be commenced at Randwick to-morrow. The chief event to be decided i« _ the Doncaster Handicap, , whilst the Sires' Produce , Stakes ami the St. Lejrer are also to be run. Wobroi, 9st. 111b.. is at the top. of the hnndicao in the firstnamed event. The New Zrolandors engaged comprise Arch Marelln, Impediment, Bezant, Kilinnine, and Margalo, but* on their form this season there is nothing to justify them beinu placed on the list of likely Doncaster winners. For Saturday's race the imported horso Publican is first choice, ]>ut if the form of favourites in recent years is any "uide his chnnce would be small indeed. Since tho 11)02.row only one favourite has pre : vailed, and that was in last year's event, when Dame Acre won. She is en?.igen s\ctto this year, am\ ia called on to carry Illb. more' than slin wiis successful with last year. The only New Zenlnndrr to win thn raoe so far is thn Clnnrannld horse Broadsword, who scored in 1911. One that, may run well in to-morrow's race is Svdney Damsel. Tho Sires* Produce Stakes' field contains some emart youngsters. Several of the field have shown good form this season, amougst their number bein? GambWs Gold. Coorima, Lisnav.nne (thf half-sister to Cetit;ne), l'ershors (a New Zealander). and Rue. In the St. Leger Finmark will he riv°n a chance to avenge his defeat of Novembc - Inst as F.nscbius (winner of the V.R.C. Le«er). who defeated him in Hie Floinington Derby, is engaaed. A recent- winner engaged in this nvent is Golden Bronze, n gcldine by Bronzino from Golden Slipner (the last-named hcv\<r identical with t'"» filly who wns sold for 45nOens. at tho Stend stud enlpV Of the other events, Snub is engosod in the Autumn Stakes, lint Kemin(|uhair only needs to reneaf hi"! spring form for flie race to be practically at his mercv.
