Theire are twenty-two horses: of varying age m work at Chokebbre ffL'odce. The. C.J.C. Midsummer meeting proved a great benefit for Sir George Clifford. ....■■•■ ';,'. > -Mr . T. E. Crosse. the well-known Hastings sportsman, is s-hortly tak.me a trip .: to England. Medallist is still sore, and should be spelled. He moved very, short m his performances .'at i.'ißiccarton. ' The hard going affected Cathroh, Who would not hit out at all .' Ho may be /riven a spell, and not taken to Dunedin. ' : The old timer, Freeland, is now trained by G> J.,' Pine, and m the same stable are Mythical, Lady Disdain, Rainmaker and a couple of unnamed youngsters. • " . Sister Anne rani really well m the Filly Stakes. niid;-.he.idrd Sunglow at one n<nrt,, but the weight stopped her, and the best she. could do- waa sec-, -ond to the favorite; Paragon was started m the Midsummer Handicap, bxit he was very sore, and could not liaise a gallop. He had done no work, -and should never have been started. The owner of Sir Artegal has instructed W. McDonald to put his colt, under the knife and turn him but. Most likely he will appear next m hack races m the North Island. Sunglow (full sister to Sungpd) got out first m the Filly Stakes.' At the bend she appeared' to he gone, but came well under the whip, and sheer gameness ehaMed her to beat Sister Anne. ' ■ . Gold Braid is a. great big awkward brut£ that seems to have a stiff neck or something, He cannot turn round and at the pehcl is VprV awkward." He cut a very sorry '-figure m both hisraces at .the Midsummer meeting. The Australian-bred Mary of Argyle was started twice at the C J..C.- fmiceting, but though she ran well m each race, she was not successful. She was very nervous and sweated freely. before -the. starts, but when she settles down she should land a race or two. The Foxton mare, Lady Disdain, "was sold after the Pahi-atua meeting to Mr J. Blair, of Christ-church. She will m- future ,be trained by J.,. Pine, and it is tp be hoped , that this young trainer will have some luck with her. Properly placed, she should win many races m the South. .Moscow looked- hard and musculair at- Riccarton and'Shearsbv was oiuite prepared for his victory m the Trial Stakes. - He was always, close up, and Tremulous was the only one to extend him at the finish, but Hatch was riding very confidently. and the : filly only got up on sufferance. B. Deeley is now at the head of the list of winning jockeys, with 37 wins to :his credit. Inadvertertently ,it was stated last week that he rode Inniskillen when that horse ran off at Takapuna. Of course everyone knows Deeley does . not ride over:, fences. The jockey, referred to should be J. Deerey. • : Aimee Soult stays better now, and the Hornby Welter was won by her on this account only. She has a leg and may not last much longer, but her owner wants £200 for her, despite her ailment. She is very -sore and- will require a spell. Her efforts on Saturday plainly showed that she was feeling the effects of the ;■ hard A'oing. ' ■- ■ , . ' j The Yakthursfr-' representative m the Trial " Stakes was Los Angelos, by San Francisco from La Valiere, the same family as La Gloria/ Who. used to race at Auckland, and is now at -the Waikanae stud. The chestnut gelding is not .of much account, judging by his display, but he may imjprove. H)e began very- badly, 'and' finished a long way m the rear. It is very evident that Treadmill will nick well ' with the Clanranald mares, and to-day it would take an, awful big heap of gold to buy this sire off Sir Geo: Clifford. Husbandn>an is sure to prove a great adver- ' tisemerit for Treadmill', and though it is a far cry lor the next C.J.C. Derby, the writer hazards the selection of Treadmjiir as 1 the sire of the winner. . * There were twenty-seven bookmakers present at Riccarton on Thursday, and m an endeavor to beat the tote they beat themselves. Not one of them won money and several of the paddock layers lost over £200. It is only a matter of time and there will be ho bookmakers at the way things are going lately. The bookmakers have got to bet a point or two longer than the- machine and the same to get the business and anyone who knows anything about ijhe rudiments of betting knows that you cannot win money when you bet over the odds. Added to this there is the £20 per (lav and. exn'-nscs, so it .will be easily seen that the Tommy has a very hard row to hoe, '

I Weights for the Wanganui Cup are due to-day. Soult was represented by seven winners at Takapuna. Jos. Prosser rails Playmate, Gauze and Kurawaka to Woodville on Monday morning. " ; The good lady who races as ''Mr Highden" will leave on an extended; ■trip to England m April next. , Sunglow began very badly m "the.

A meeting of the stewards was then held, when, toe 1 president ruled that the annointment -of- ; stipendiaries was informal, and; ; :fche-' stewards then decided to {take no action "regarding the tunning of Rio Grande. ' Later on m th© day Rio Grande wpn the Farewell Handicap,., but though another meatiiig 'was held, the judge's verdict was riot upset; All persons proposing to take part m any r way whatever at theunregis-i tered Ineeting at Miramar next montlf shbMd and think of the pains and penalties they, will incur. Any jockey; owner, trainer, handicapper, judge, •bookmaker, etc., on being proved to- have assisted at the .meeting will be disqualified by the Metrooolitan Q\vtb, and such disqualification bars them; from entering upon any registered racecourse. This would be a , specially serious thine for bookmakers,'as they can never get a license for any other meetings if they bet : ?tt IVfiramar, and' they will never jst a living at Miramar alone, as it is very . doubtful if the mt nagement will see their way clear to hold a second meeting.
