Entries for all events at the Wanganui meeting are due on Monday. Acceptances for the Marton meeting are due on Tuesday .next. Secretary A. Way, of the Marton Jockev Club, is at present negotiating with the Railway Department for' special trains to run from 'Palmerston North and Wanganiii on September 7, the date of the Marton races. Lord Martian is not likely to fulfil his Neiv.., Zealand Cup engagement. Private advices received' from Sydney state that the three-year-old is doing well, and will have his first race at the Rosehill meeting next month. Of the fiftv-five horses nominated' for the New Zealand Cup, sixteen are sired byvMartian and eight by Demosthenes. Mr. G. Currie has retired Rose Queen te the matrons’ paddock. The daughter of King Rufus was a failure on the racecourse. On Sunday the brood mare Evening, bv Wonderland from Vesper, died at Mr. Hassall’s stud farm, Hastings. On the turf Evening proved a success, winning many races, the most important being the Wanganui Steeplechase. Many of her progeny, too, have won races, the best being Morning. She was an old mono at tho time of her death, being m her 24th year. Private advices received in Napier convey the information 'hat the three- ! year-old ' colt. Big Chief, by Mountain. | Knight—Swallow, which was taken to Sydney, with Trainer AV. J. Donovan’s ! string, ran second in his first race, the i Maiden Handicap, at Moorefield Park, I on Saturday last. As it was Big Chief's i first race in public he may be expected i to do much better later on when he has I had more racing experience. Tho committee of tho Manawatu Hunt Club has held several meetings lifKiV. t° consider tho idea of holding its meeting on a date that would not clash with the Springboks-New Zealand test match, but as the club is most anxious to race on a Saturday it was decided to hold to the allotted date.

Fera (Feramorz—Gazlie) was a runner at Dannevirke this week, but Mr. GHaldane’s mare was not ready. As a two-year-old Fera showed a lot of pace, and should do lietter later on.

It would appear us if Aureate, the full-sister to Desert Gold, who last season raced in the interests of her trainer, F. DUvis, will represent her ownerbreedler, Mr. T. H. Lowry, during the present term, for the registration of the lease from Mr. Lowtv to Davis has been withdrawn. It is expected that the, Hawke’s Bay sportsman will be back aC the latter end of November, a.nd his two-year-old, Paradise Duck, will also be brought to the Dominion. Chuckle, tho j’ounger full-sister to Chortle (Multifid —Amusement) hjis produced a filly to Absurd at Okawa. Chuckle, this season, is to be mated with Mr. T. H. Lowry’s recently imported English-bred sire, King John. Mr. J. Goring-Johnston has already disposed of two of his team in Panache and Hurry Up. The former is a maiden three-year-old colt, by Panmure —P.arera, and! tho latter is a six-year-old gelding by Advance —Mouette. Robin Goodfellow, in the "Daily Mail." decides that Paradise Duck was "Jargelj indebted to jockeyship for her success in the British Dominions’ T.Y.O. Plate, of 1900 sovs., six furlongs, at the Sandown IJark mooting. Hector Gray may not beta brilliant finisher—no jockey of that sort has yet come out of New Zealand. But the tatest arrival possesses the fine quality of riding his race at all points, and realises tli'at it is not always necessary to leave the winning of it till the last moment. Paradise Duck showed the “potted" Fodder a clean pair of heel» throughout, and won with manifest ease, being one to remember unless, Do Mestre lias greatly overrated the merits of Mr. Sol Joel’s youngster. Drake's Drum was not produced', the going probably being too hard, and in his absence backers laid odds on Fodder. This delighted! the Sam Darling party by giving them a good price about Paradise Duck, -who whs fully expected to upset the favourite. '
