All the loading jumpers are engayed, including tho Great Northern winner Lochella, Both. Master Strowau ana. Jiochclln, are ougaged in the Hawke's Bay titeeples, which is run over Mi three mileiiVcourse. It- will be interesting to seb how the handicapper will assess the pair. -Trainer F. D. Jones arrived from;the Bouth on Saturday, and later' on ho joined a shooting party that is going into the uppier reaches of the Wanganui River. ' '
While schooling at Trentham .at the week-end, Oyra fell heavily, and cave T. Youne a bad ahakinß. ■ H. 'M'Sweeney Hsb had hid time fully occupied since his return from the Duncdin meeting, and regularly he schools Mannish, Falstaff, and Spangle ' over hu'.rdles. The first-named lias been entered for -the hack hurdle events at Napier and Hastings, , Amongst the entries for the Oaulfield and Melbourne Cups is the champion three-year-old Ainythns, so presumably hia owner has an idea of being represented in these races.
•H. Tolford had'his three rising two-year-olds at the barrier at Trcntham on Saturday, and after jumping out a couple of times they were galloped , two furlongs. Mr. J. Molloy, of Auckland, la the,now owner o£ Golden Bubble, havlne acquired him from Mr. W". (i. Stead at MOehs. 'I'ho son of Absurd is now nn inmate of H. Eva's stahlo.
Many good judges consider Slowcoach the most promising novice amongst the junipers seen out at tho recent Ellcrslio meeting' Ho is only fivo years old, and is bound to be improved with his - racing. Already the son of Waukenphast is being mentioned in connection with tho Riccarton Grand National.
It. J. jfason hopes to (ret away for Sydney next Thursday, but thcro seems little chance of his team being shipped unless noma arrangement can bo come to with tho Seamen's Union.
On tho opening day of tho Auckland meeting,, an inquiry was commenced into the Jnterfcrcnco met with by Golden Bubblo In the Members' Handicap.' 'It was continued on Monday, but tho stewards decided that although several .of thoßo examined did not altogether explain their actlonß satisfactorily there ito.a not sufficient evidence to justify any further steps being taken. Tho Tticcartoft trainer, % Jl'Donald, cxpectß to make a. start this week on Fiery Cross, Glendower. and Castellan, whom ho will train in future for Mr. 1). H. Eobertß. Tho other members of M'Donald's team, includlne BrackcKflcld, Sonic Kid, and Listening Post, are at present cnjoyinc a rest. They are all in oood health, and they will probably, bo nut into worn ajtaln about the bejrinninE of next month.
The little affair enacted at Avondalo in April last may have the effect of brincins a new rule Into the Now Zealand code. Tho following is the text of a notieo of motion to be submitted to the New Zenland Rnoine Conference next month :-"In the event of a 'strike' by virtue of rlder» refusing to ridu tho stewards may permit persons to ride -without a liconso tor that particular mccttns only."
Tho accomplishment of the transportstion of a pinno across tho Eneltsh' Channel by aoronlano was rivalled on April 6 In California, where a horse, entered for exhibition at Ranta. Barbara, arrived in a. specially-constructed aeroplano from Lob Ausoles. The trip, was made without incident (fays "The. Times" New York col--respondent), but the start was delayed until the Hiima.no Bocloty was officially convinced that no cruelty would result to tho horse.
