HAWERA'S USEFUL1 HANDS

GOLDEN HAIR FOR NORTH

(Special from "Limited.") | -.-: .HAWERA, March 21. , Hawera stables will be well represented at the Wilding Easter Meeting. C. Jackson has Aga-Khan and Diagauo, J. Fryer) Euri, Chief-Line, and the two-year-olds Rollovant and Onewhetu, W. Grindlay Silver Wings, And M. Conway Ingenuity. Taitoru,may also race there in preference fro Auckland. O. Cox, with Golden Hair, and J. Brown, with Carfex, are booked to leave by Wednesday night's train for Ellerslie. Round Table is unlikely to make the trip. J. Fryer has Copey and the two-year-old Eadiant Star entered in the north, and he will also leave on.Wednesday if the trip is decided on. ' :. Carfex is 'in great shape—in fact Mr. Hicks's horse never looked better. He has been galloping and sprinting in fine style. Golden Hair returned in splendid condition after his Thompson Handicap win, and has been exercising steadily sincei, It is generally supposed that her mission on the first day will be the Great Northern Oaks. Round Table appears to have lightened up a bit as a result of his trip to Trentham. ; Silver Wings demonstrated her usefulness by winning at Awapuui, and the experience should further .improve her. She .has caused her trainer anxiety on occasions on account of shoulder soreness, but . bis unremitting attention was rewarded and he.was warmly congratulated on the filly s success. -..-■.. _ During the. Trentham and Manawatu . Meetings Hawera horses won four races and were placed second twice, accounting for £900 in stake-money, as follows:— Golden Hair £420, Aga Khan £140, Euri £160, Taitoru £100, and Silver Wings £80. _ St. Clara lightened up alter her two hard races at Opunake and will be given' a respite until the Egmont Winter Meeting in May. .Chief Line, who is to make his debut as a hurdle racer at Fefldiug.has been schooling in good style and iPa. capable jumper. He may make amends for his failures on the flat at his new business. By his win at Opunake Argument be- . comes ineligible for the maiden race at ■ J eliding, but his owner (Mr. W. Corcoran) intends taking him down for the other „ hack races. Argument is -by Acre from l.olemic, and he is susceptible to a lot of improvement. His dam, who was a smart hack when raced, was from Polycaste, who produced several useful ■ Taranaki nerformers. ' ; c s^-yeal>-old Sheffield—Peggy Paul gelding Gowan Lea, looking in great heart, was unlucky in not regarding his connections with a big dividend at Opunake. He RACING FIXTURES.

Gowan Lea was founeily tiained by J. Fryer, who won hack idi.es with him, including a lace at Trenlliam. The owner informs me that he is a good jumper and.his breeding on his dam's side suggests that he might ino\e useful at the fencing t business. 2\ o Doubt's : performanco at Opunake demonstrated that his respiratory, affliction is more pronounced, and he has been thrown out o£ training indefinitely. Richfield is to. be tried over hurdles and was grven a schooling bout in company with Fantastic this morning, jumping well for a novice. E. Brough has an addition to his stable in-a three-year-old filly by the Hallowmas horse Stork from a Bisogne mare. The filly by Chiet Ruler from Rosie Desmond in Brough's stable, who is to race as Rose Ray, is making steady progress and has developed into a nice three-yeai> old. A patient policy has been adopted •with this filly, who is a nice mover and who should prove useful.
