When the Riccarton jockey C- Emerson left for England nt the end of last year it was thought that he might remain there for at least the whole of this raeiii" season. He soon changed his plans, however, and after a few weeks in England he has left on the return journey. || ju father received a cable message this week from America, stating that he was | returning through the States, and that •l.e expected to" reach New Zealand hefore tile end of April,

No decision has been reached so far as to whether Amythas will do his Enster racing at lticcarton or Ellerslie. Ifis handicap (Ost. 21b.) in the Jiaster Handicap is a severe one for a three-year-old, but at tho same ago Nonetto carried Sst. ltlb, to victory in 1302.

The appeal of tho brothers H. and G. Young against the suspension of their licenses by the Canterbury District Committee is to be heard in Wellington tomorrow.

I'. E. Jones, who was for several years first horseman to Sir George Clifford'* stiibln, prior to taking up training in South Canterbury, lias decided to hand in his trainer's license, and he will resume his old occupalion as a jockey. He wil!\ however, continue his association with trotters tnd pacem, in the handling of which he has made considerable reputation. With good riders so scarce, the news of Jones's return to the saddle will bo welcomed by owners. A 6 he can go to scalo at Bst. 51b., he should be assured of plenty of riding. The Austrnlian-brcd steeplechaser. Old Mungindi, who was bought by Mr. AV. It. KemMl last spring, and who has..been resting since his transportation to New Zealand, has been taken up again, and, all going w»ll with h : m, he can be regarded as ft probable contestant when winter steeplechase events come to be considered.

IColyma, tho winner of the Trial Slakes at Aknroa.- displayed qood form when she ran in the Middle Park Plate., She is a chestnut filly by Sutaln. from Kolestina, by Danube from Armlet, by MensehikofF—Armilla, by Castor—Necklace, bv Musket—Locket.

The death is announced of Prince Cl:nrtes KinsVy, the sportsman, who steered his mare Zoedono to victory in the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase of 18X3. Tho deceased prince was greatly attached to England and its sporting institutions, The Australian-bred two-j'ar-old Yfsimcci, by Vnreo from the imported mare Par Away, by Eager, has rejoined It. .T. Mason's stn.blo at Rioarton, after enjoying a good spell at his owner's station. He looks a bit in the rough at present.

Statuette met with a slight mishap recently, which prevented her from racing at Wanganui. She has made a good recovery and is nearly all right again. Henriette, the winner of the Kinloch Welter, run at Akaroa, is an imported mare liy Henry the First from Minnie Orme, bv Minstead from Lady Orme. by Ormo. Henriette was formerly raced by the late Mr. A. W. Rutherford.

Rumour has it that Belgian King has broken down, and that ho is unlikely to raco again.

Fiery Cross shewed a lot of his old brilliancy in n five-furlong sprint with Sonic Kid ot Riccarton on Tuesday. Tremena was galloping well in the early stages of the Alcaroa Cup on Saturday, hut she suddenly, dropped back to last and a little further on her jockey dismounted. Examination showed that she had broken her off hind leg, just above the fetlock, and she was destroyed. Tremena, who was by Count Wittf from the Treadmill mare Advance, had some useful performances to her credit. It was intended to retire her to the stud at the end of this season, and he* deat> was a serious-loss to Mr, ~\\ T . A. Nielio!!» as she was a fine type of mare.

After a number of years, tho seven furlongs track record on the Jan ah Randwick was broken, when last week A.ilati beat The Destroyer by two lengths oyer the distance in 1.29}. The pair car ri«l light boys. The, previous best was 1.30, put up » nuirfber of years by the New Zealand horse Grand Rapids, and sone little time ai?o'by The Destroyer , Esthonia's weight for St. Patrick's Handicap at Opunaka is 'flat. 101b;, states a Press Association message from New Plymouth.
