Lyon on Thursday ltd 3 p.m. Atceut.inces lor the opening day of the Feildiii;,' Jockey («ub Spring Meeting close on Friday next. The annual mccliiuj , of the Afhlnirtt (Jlul) will !:e held 10-morruw.

It in the common opinion Hint tha brown coll: by Martian lrom Grand Upera was one ol fee barguins. of the milo and S 9i lle surprise was i-xpre.scd that, the biiycr did not have, to go into four iigir.es ior the full-brother to Kossini. Tils fact (iliut .Mr. (••;. I). Lireemvood is shortly leaving on a d/in to Ijngln.nil probably iissi.-tuil towards the coil going so cheaply.

Mporfowl |ikclj' absentees it looks as if | the Uezoninn two-year-old will 'have a further chance of adding to his winnings. Tho committee of the Wellington Kacing Club is to meeu this afternoon when amongst other business a proposal to make tho distaiico of the next Wellington Cup one mile and three-quarters instead of one mile and half will bo debated, There aro mimorous cups of a big value, run over liwelve-tuilong coursos in tiliis country, but there is only one vuco ol' one mile and three-quarters. Tho Wellington Cup, as a twelve furlong race, has always been a moat successful event, mid caro should be taken and the proposal well debated before a change is inatfe. I(j has. to l.u remembered that tho New Zealand Cup and the Auckland Cup following close as they do upon each other take a _ toll of tho stayers, and tlieso races with their attendant breakdowns may diminish the field likely to lako pavt in a raco of one mile and | three-quarters. On tho otllier hand, ill has to be remembered that stayers must be encourajjod, and this can only bo done by putting moi>3 races on for them. The facb that the Wellington Cup has always been a successful race should not be altowed to weigh in tiho matter. Tradition cannot stand in the way of changes that arc for the better. While the committee is meeting it should also consider the matter of increaied accommodation of all sorts at the coming Cup meeting, liacing is becoming more popular every day throughout tine Dominion, and larger crowds are now 'to be found on racecourses than was the case in the days before the war'.; Theso crowds have to be accommodated, and the majority- of racecourses and their attendant conveniences are all'too small theso days. As it will bo some turn; before'the local club is able to erect iU new stands lihe committee will havn' to faci the question of some temporary stands for lawn patrons. Thousands of people 'wlio visited'Trentliani on, the occasion of tho Spring Meeting failed to get n view of lilie race-:. This is not as it should be,!and it behoves the committee to grapple with the question at oncc. One suggestion .thai' has been made, and which seems easy lio carry out is, that more scats should be dolled about the lawn and also thali a couple of steps could be placed alongside the front fence— this would enable hundreds more to see the races—and in addition a temporary stand could l.v built in tho present saddling paddock. . At the sale of thoroughbred yearlings held at Christchm'ch last week, the top price. (1150 guineas) was paid for a colt by Martian, from l'ineta, Mr. K. S, Williams; pf Uisboriie, being the buyer. I'ineta, the dam of the high-price colt, is an English-bred made, 'by Spearmint (son of Carbine), from I'intade, by Persimmon (son-of St. Simon}, Though Lucid has yet to win a race at three-year-old. his second ( in the Canterbury Cup points to tho bay colt possessing the staving quality. Lucid figures among the entrants for the Auckland Cup. \ The Opotiki Jockey Club lias been granted permission to ehanee the date of its annual race meeting from February, 13 to February 20. j?»biir, which proved something of a disappointment while racing on I '.the flat, has been retired to the stud, being mated with Absurd. At the sale of Mr. .T. B. Raid's thoroughbreds last week a bay filly' named Catalini (by Catmint from the Symington mare Symbolism)' gave "rise to spirited competition, and she realised 825gns. Catnlini'. has the distinction .of having been sired in F.ngland and foaled in New Zealand;. Catmint, her sire, .'s by Spearmint 'son of Carbine), who won-tho English Derby/for Major Loder in 19CG. Thirty-three sires' secured a share of the prize money at the- .Metropolitan Trotting Club's meeting last week. Harold, Dillon bead the list ' with .£2051. as > n result-of six wins and seven lots of place money. Demonio was second with ,£1550, all earned I>v 'Prix Pointer. Then citme "Rothschild .£805,. Four' . Chimes .ffiSO, Petereta .£659, and Prince Imperial i'GH. A special feature of the trotting meeting, held at Addington last week was the form shown l>v the Otago horse, Cello ,Sydiiev Wilkes. 'Tie started four times during the three days and won on each occasion, his earnings in stakes ■ being ,£ll7O. It is doubtful if any horse has ever previously won four times at a trotting fixture in New Zealand while it is quite certain that the record of Cello Sydney Wilkes lins never been approached in'race? of a similar clew, the principal events on tyo second and third days of the meeting being among those credited to him. Sir. W. 11. Norton headed tho list of winning owners at the Metropolitan Trotting Club's meeting last week with jjlGiO, earned by Trix Poinler ($550) and Admiral Wood (=£3o): Mrs, 1. L. Morrison was second with -filiiO, -all earned bv Cello Sydney Wilkes; while Mr. K. G. M'Cnllough secured i'afiO. through the aid of Capriccio (.£385) and Schnapps (.-6175). J. M'Lennan, with six winning mounts, was the most successful horseitian. at the New 'Zealand Metropolitan-.' Trotting Club's meeting last week;' He;scorcd four limes on Cello Sydney. Wilkes and once each on Acuslila Maeliree and General Link. .T. Hrycc 'nndJE..C. M'Dn-mott each won three times,- and. W. •Orange and 11. .Tarden tiyie'e,' " while the horsemen 'with one win were: W. Smith, It. C Reed. W. Warren, A. Butleifield, h. Berry. F. Holmes, N. L. Price, and A. G. Wilson. . , At the recent A .B.C. Spring Meeting homes-ridden-in their:.,.various engagements "bv H.-Gray carried no le.-s an amount than .£10,341, ; Not one returned a dividend, so-supporters of the prominent sportsman got rather a set-back.
