JOTTINGS FROM HAWERA

(Special from "Limited.") HAWERA, This Day. , ...The hurdle and steeplechase . rider .:.L Tucker is returning to New Zealand and is expected in Hawera next week, where he will take up. his old position with J. Fryer. Tucker was the first to school Copey and was associated with his early, successes, ' including' the Great' Northern Steeplechase. ; No Doubt, who has been spelling since the Wanganui Spring Meeting, where ho contracted a. severe cold, has resumed track exercise again. J. Brown's Grand Knight gelding Arouse is doing well and is making steady progress. Ho has grown into a fine-looking horse, and, providing his leg stands, he should make his mark among our handicap horses. . G. Richards lias The Tiger doing plenty of steady pace work!; He looks well after being out for about a month, but is unlikely, to race until the holiday racing comes round. Two of Fryer's team, Attentive and Haunui, are having an enforced spell owing to lameness. A recent addition to M. Conway's team is the three-year-old filly Miss ■ Louvaine, by Callaghan from Fertility, the latter by Husbandman from Generosity, by Chasseur. Generosity was the dam of Hushman, a useful Taranaki performer some, seasons back. Oriel,, the. half-brother to Benzora, is putting plenty of dash into his work and will attract attention when produced for racing. He is a splendid jumper with tons of pace, but is a' poor doer and may lack stamina. E. Bioiigh has an addition to his team in a hunter by Star Stream, who is to be prepared for hurdle racing. Mr. AY. P. Cochrane has had his gelding Argument, by Antagonist from Polemic, brought in again. Tried as a three-year-old, Argument showed pace on the tracks but went wrong and has been turned out for a couple of seasons. Polemic, the dam^was a fair, performer some years back on Taranaki courses.
