Gravestock, of Opaki, who is having a short holiday before leaving for Napier and Hastings with the hack steealechaser

Torchy. Tho Boniform—Peace filly in H. Telford's stables at Trentham is a very neatly-shaped youngster that looks as if she will) come to hand quickly. Tho filly is a half-sister to Chakwana, who did such good service when racinz in tho colours of the Messrs, Riddiford. _ Amongst the rising two-year-olds _in work at Trentham there is ' nothing more forward than the Solferino—Elysium colt in J. M'Laughlin's stables. The youngster is doing plenty of work, and will shortly be tried over a couple of furlongs. The aged gelding Parky (Sylvia Park— Ngaio), who won the Winter Cup in 1914, is again in -work on the Porirun beach, and will be tried over the steeplechase course at. Otaki next week. A number of jockeys resident of tho northern portion of the North Tsland held a meeting at Wanganui on Thursday night, but those who were thero are somewhat reticent as to what transpired. • It is understood, however, 6avs an exchange, that the meeting generally favoured a breakaway from the association. and that a deputation be sent to meet the president o£ the New Zealand Racing Conference, Sir George Clifford. "Whalebone," in the Auckland "Star." says-.—"The question of racing in a failing light is a matter the racing club officials should give more consideration to, for tho question should ha considered whether it is fair to tho riders to mako them take the, risk of riding in the dark, or whether some sacrifice should be made in respect to the totalisator turnover. At both the of the Egmont and Wanganui meetings the concluding even'- was run in a very bad light, and this should not 1)6 tolerated. Luckily no serious accident has occurred so far, but who is going to shoulder tho responsibility if one does happen? Tho managements of clubs should endeavour to prevent the idea gaining ground that the totalisator receipts are the most important matters in connection with racial;." ' '
