Arrowsmith was not worked at Riccarton on Saturday, and it is feared that the recently-developed 6pliut is affecting the imported Horse.

As a result o,f his recent showings, tho Victorian-owned colt Strutherdole iB in as good demand as anything for the A.J.O. Derby. He is by Tressady, from Lady Perdita, by Wallace from Kloping Lady, and both on looks and 'performances promises to stay well. .There is to be a public parade of two-X-ear-oldß at Ellerslic on Wednesday cf this week. Already simibr outings have been given the youngsters at Oisborue and | Hastings, and at both places a, good crowd turned out to see the trials. The Riccarton horseman, A.
