to accustom him to the method of running -the races at Hand-wick. The colt was in excellent order when put on board the boat last week. All going well, he will land in Sydney to-day, and have a month to get in shape for- the A.J.C. Derby. ' — Racing is now in a more parlon? state in Johannesburg than in New York. The Government have now stopped the publication of all betting news, and no betting of any description is allowed except on theracecourse, and in addition it has been decided that racing can only take place on Saturdays and public holidays. i •The champion racehorse Poseidon is now located >at Eumaralla Stables, Mudgee, in charge of the stud gToom.

Poseidon's list is reported to be full, and among those to visit him from a distance are several from New Zealand. — The Gore Racing Club have decided to give a-way SoOsovs in stakes at their spring meeting. The amount represents an increase of aOsovs over last year, ard, considering that • the olub baa 600aovs to put en mortgage, the increase in stakes is somewhat meagre.

Reference was made to the valuable services Mr Payling had rendered to the cause of trotting in tire Dominion, and to his sterling worth generally as * citizen. I It is reported from *he north that Penates will receive a special preparo-ticn ! for the New Zealand Cup. A horse would fc*ve to be a freak to win such a race with- . out a special preparation, and it may ba ' said that attempt® to convert exceptionally brilliant horses into stayers sometimes ends in a double failure, because the staying powers -are not always fcund, and the attempt to discover the ettumina impairs the ajuniu.''s speed. | — According to a Goolgardie writer, one j of the rules of the Goldfields BookmaJoers' Association provides that each of its members aha-ll be guaranteed by the other members, so that the public are protected by doing business with those who belong to the association. This being so, the association has been called upon to finance the bsl- j ting tickets of one of its members who defaulted aib a reoen.t Paikestown meeting. —An Australian writer says Bribery carried his 13.7 in the Australian Steeple — in ! which, conceding 401b, he was beaten by ' Confederate — at a. rate of speed that wcai'd have beaten Rediea.p by nearly three fur- j longs, and such ether old-time cracks at • Daimio, Domino, and Colonel Shilins-ki by ' from 200 to 250 yards. The dig'tencc, four miles, was run by Bribery in Bmin 4i»ec. ot half a second longer than Confederate (10.9) took. — Mad-ame Melba has token to the turf, 'and if she can juggle the notes as successfully on the raoscourse ■&* she oa.n on. the { stag® her colours should soon win a large ' army of adiheren'ts. A horse- would l indeed ' be an arrant knave who did not respond to ! the cell of her sweet notes. Still, one i gigantic success in life is enough for most ' people, and to some of the notes circulated j by the great gamo she may sing " Good-bye ' ' for ever." j —On all of Mr J. Wren's courses in Mcl- ' bourne there is a betting ring steward whose business it is to report any changes in the price of the competitors to the stipendiaries. ! At a recent meeting at Bichniond Annam re- j ceded in the market, and before the start the rider of -the son of Mana go-t a hint ! from one of the officials as to how his riding ' of the gelding might be viewed. Annam won. j but only by half a head from the even money Maida. ' _ „ —It i« reported that Mr G. P. Moore, of Kai Iwi, has a promieing yearling colt by Birkenhead from Miss Penelope, which is said to be the naest-looking colt yet sued by the Karamu horse. Most of the Birkenheads are good-lookers, and if the Miss Penelope colt is the best of the tribe, then he j must be a perfect equine Adonis. Miss Pene- i lope is an Australian-bred mare, and was got by Antseus (son of Sir Mcdred-) from Vie, by Roodes., the brother to Chester. —An interesting return of ihe winnings of the half-dozen principal sire 3in Australia | since 1904 season shows that Gra-fton is m easy first. During tha five seasons his progeny have won stakes worth £205,680. Wallace , fills second place with f63,740 opposite Im I name, and Positano comes third with j £58 410 Then in order follow Lccliiel . (£54 530) Simmer (£47,247), and Haut Brion | (£29,735). Sons and daughters of Grafton yon 818 races and those of Locbiel 525 events rfox iiix& five seasons — A deputation of owners waited upon xne committee of the Gcrs Racing CJub tnd asked that something should be done to inr.reass the facilities for training. It wss pointed cut by the deputation thai the training track in the past had been anything but j satisfactory, and now that the club was in a strong financial position some improvement I shouM bf- made The c'-ub have decided !c . appoint a caretaker, and if a suitable man | is procured there should be no cause for : future complaint. | —Mr George Anderson, a popular mem- I ber of the local ring, joined the ranks of benedicts lust week, and his friends made ' use of the occasion to show him scms tan- | gible mark of their esteem. Durirg the ' course of a social evening Mr Anderson was . presented with a marble clock, a pair of va&as, a breakfast cruet, and a biscuit barre'. j — Two of the most promising youngsters < in work at R'ccarton were got by Martian. ! One is Martyn, cut of Nantes, and the other is Fireglow, out of Fireside. — Tha well-known stallion St Ambrose ( ; was destroyed last week. Sirce going to the | stud the son of St. Simon had been an un- I lucky horse, but no doubt such a wall-bred, i good-looking stallion would have read* his ! mark bar accidents. St. Ambrose had the j gift of galloping, and created the mile and thiee furlong record of 2.204 when he won at Williamstown iv 1904. That record has einoe been reduced, but the race and p. cl-osa fourth to Lord Cardigan in the Melbourne Cup demonstrated -4hat St. Ambrose could j gallop. | —Up to the time the last mail left Eng- j land his Majesty the King was the prin- | cipal winner, having captured ien races of the total value of £19.077, with six horses. ' Mr A. Bailey was second, one of his horses ' having won three races, worth £7104 Then came M. Fairie, £7037. for four wins; Mr ' J. B. Joel, JCC9S7, for nine wins; Mr A F. ' Basset, £6329. for nine wins ; Messrs L. i Robinson and "W. Clark. £5447. for nine win?; ' Sir W C. Cooper, £5245. for three wins; and Lord Howa-rd de Walden, £5003, for ten wins. I — The weight allotted Signor (Bst 121b) in \ \

the Kew Zealand Cup appears to the son of Pilgrim's Progress with a fair chance, providing he goes to the post dressed m his best. As Mr Moose's horses are trained privately, little is known as to how Signor is progressing. Some reports credit t£e Cup horse with doing good work, while on the other hand (says a Wangajaui Ecribe) it is stated that he is none too sound, and that Mr Moore contemplates withdrawing him from his engagements and putting him, to the stud, — Perhaps no sires in Australia ever had more mares sent to them in a season than Lochiel and Grafton, but their record (says an exchange) pales into insignificance when compared with th*t of Red Prince 11. Red Prince II sired Red Lad, who ran up 16 Ascetic's Silver in the \ Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase a year or two ago. Although he ha* reached the «ge of 20 years, | he served 76 mares last year, and this year 1 he had 128 mares, and 122 of them are believed to bt in foal. Red Prince II is now in Germany, and be must be a wonderfully virile horse. j — " Mih-oy." of the Sydney Mail, thus refers to Don Hannibal: — "The son of Explosion is a fair one to look at, a big brown fellow, with no end of strength and power, ■and is a nice .poacher when fully extended, but he .has tricky msuners, and I think is one of -those who require to have mxtters ' all their own way in w race. Las* week' 'Earnshttw. sent him with Pa^see tor a sprint,- i but th*fc takk .w»5 -not '*f all to 'his- -liki*g? > Ba-rsee, however, is not the kind of* a horse for- anything but ■ a, glutton, to • tackle in & » •print, and he made the Maori look exceed- > ingiy small." j — Word pon»e 3 to hand of the death trf ' the St. Leger horse Clanranald, who was ' destroyed las* week. On the turf CluuranaM was an excellent performer, and won several races at the old Porbury Park course. His ! stock won £45.326 during the past 11 seasons, j and this despite the fact that he was almost " entirely restricted to the mares of h's ' owner's stud. Scottish Lassie, the dam of Clana-anald and St. Andrew, had -an all too brief career at the stud. She w*s first brad to Musket. The result was d-aad twins, and then after a fruitless visit to Ingomar came j St. Andrew and Clanranald. 1 7j" Th^ t -if, nterprißi:De PrMM * sportsman, M. T^IS? * 1 *S C ' yrho P aid the record price of £39 375 for Plying Fox, is reported to have made an offer of £80,002 for the racing stud of the late Sir Daniel Cooper, but the executors declined the offer. Referring to the matter the Sportsman (London) remarks"The refusal of the offer was not only a commercial triumph, but something amounting to a national one." The 29 lots, which included brood meres, foals, yearlings, and horseß in training, realised 90,310 guineas, or £14,825 more than M. Blanc's offer. —Mr J. C. Bowden, who, many years Age, was a prominent horse-o^vner and member of the "J. B. Clark " syndicate, for which : Tom Payten trained, has a letter in a Mcl- I bourne papers comparing tb? A.J.C. and ' v.R.C, and in the course of which he saysThe difference between the two clubs has been that years ago the A.J.C. formulated a EJL^'tt^ES 1 whicll " **as never deviated j The V.RX3., on the contrary, has co to ! speak, had a boom career, and", like a rudder- j less skip, has been one moment on the crest ' of the wave and the next labouring in th» trough of a sea. The general kssiiude datea " back many years." | +-h~r> Hawke ' 8 B& y writer reports tfhat at the Park course od Tuesday of last week Jioiunoor easily asserted himceJf over War Song and Miriam (Meriwee— Moira) in a two furlong sprint. On the same grounds Bobrikoff, with F p»vis in the saddk\ comforWbly silenced Multiple (Multiform— Soult ,V nd Cilai it6iise in a four furlong dash while Downfall had the best oi Merriwa and Erl Bang in a gallop over 10 furlongs. Mr Lowrys team look in the best of heart and condition, and if all goes on wall in the meantime -the navy blue and gold bearers will have a, victorious innings during the just opened season. That is the conclusion that must be arrived at by all who have seen his team doing their preparations. There is no getting away from the fact that there is no tail to the team, for Davis's pupils have all demonstrated that they can perform m a meritorious manner. | — The turf successes of his Majesty th«» King include nearly every big event in the Jinghsli racing world. It is 38 years since the Kings racing jacket was first unfurled, I but ne did not score his Erst win under Jockey Club rules until 1886. The following! are the most important races which have . been credited to his Majesty's horses •— I Derby.— Persimmon, 1896; Diamond Jubilee, ' 1903; Minoru, 1909. St. Leger.— Pemmnwn, ' 1896; Diamond Jubilee. 1900. Two Thousand ! Guineas. — Diamond Jubilee, 1900; Minoru l 1909. One Thousand Guineas.— Thais. 1896* Ascot Cup. — Persimmon, 1897. Eclipse } Stakes.— Persimmon, 1897; Diamond Jubilee ' 1900. Newmarket Stakes.— Diamond Jubilee' 1900. Coventry Stakes, Ascot.— Persimmon 1895. Gold Vase. Aecot.— FJorizel 11, 1895 | Goodwood Cup.— Florizel 11, 1895. Man- • Chester Cup. — Florizel 11, 1895. Jockey Club Stakes. — Pereiminon. 1896. Grand National Steeplechase. — Ambush 11, 1900. — Old John Scott, who- trained 16 St. I-et»er vrinnera a.n<l five irmMrs of tta Bine . ' Riband, saw no fewer than 54 Derbies. John Gully, publican, prize-fighter, and M.P., saw half a century of Dei'by finishes, the first of them being run after his own famous fight ' in 1805 with Harry Pearce, the celebrated " Game Chicken " and c'aammern pugilist of England until knocked out by Gully. But ' all these loys.ltv records of the Derby were • quite eclipsed by Mr Jas. Weatherby, the ' famous sporting journalist who used to say ' he " wouldn't miss a Derby even to attend , his own funeral." From 1828 to 1894 he did j not miss a single Derby. but imw 66 in all. I — Judging them by the weights allotted in ths Npw Zealand Cup, All Red and Bobrikcff | have be«n rather well taken oare of by Aus- j tralian hwadicappers in the big events of the •' spring All Red has 9.4 and Boiwikoff 8.13 '. in Xew Zealand Cup: but their respective allotments in Epsom Handicap are 9.8 and i 9.7, and in Metropo'itan 9.7 and 9.5. Bob- I rikoff is not engaged in Cculfield Cup. but All Red ia. with 9.3, and while the latter has also 9.3 in Melbourr« Cue. Bobrikoff is'j allotted 813. There is nothing about the weights allotted to these horses to entice owners to come all ths way from New Zea- ' land (says a Sydney paper), for they are at , least handicapped right up to their very j best form. —In referring: to the sale of Flair under ' tho hammer at 15,000 guineas the Daily Mail says- — "Six thou3a.nd was the first bid, promptly followed by seven. anS still more sensational offers, and a curious sort of hush ! fell Upon th< assembly as they watched the j competitors. Mr Stern. » clean-shaved young i man not long from college, smoked his pipe j and bid thousands with apparent nonchal- I anoe. His rivals were ultimately reduced to ; one, and that one Sir Ernest Cassel, who '; was raising him by ' monkeys.' But at 15,000 even he capitulated, leaving Mr Stern ' the he r o of this record pale. Mr Stern bias pome jum ers, which he likes to ride him- j self, as do all such enthusiasts. He is & ] member of the Stern family of Portuguese bankers." v | — The clay formation of the new track at Forbury Park has baen compltted, Rife after

it had been worked by roiling *nd fc*rrow» ing » start was made with the surfacedressing. Th« final dressing of the track consists of • sandy loam, and this should be in its place in a little over a couple os weeks. Excellent progress is being, znada towards putting the statnds in order, thQ erection of the inside fencing, and the top* dressing, etc., of the lawn. So much is this the case th*t should ha com* p!«ted and. well into good world order by, the time the spring meeting comes round*. It is, however, absolutely necessary that the completion of the track should be pushed x>n as .much as possible if "tb* going is to have every chance of ' favourably impressing' owners and trainers who intend patronising the initial meeting on the course. — " The New Zealand Diary," * neatly bound little booklet coin/piled by Mr W. H. E. Wanklyni secretary of the K.Z. Raoing Conference and Canterbury Jockey Club, has come to hand, and is acknowledged with, thanks. The diary is sure of a good welcome and much appreciation from horse-owners anxfi others interested in racing. The dates of the nominations, acceptances, forfeits, etc., are »et *ut, and the risk of overlooking them is reduced to a minimum by. anyone who is fortunate enough to possess » copy of the new publication. The date* o£ the various meetings throughout th» season find * place in the book, and also th» reoaßd tunes in Australasia. Unfortunately; tb« diary 1S not *s complete "as it might btf, but that w not 13re fault of the compiles-, . wtoo has. conferred a. benefit on sportsmen, and an ed±tori«l comment on the omission -reads *s follows:— "To » very large mßJorityof secretaries I tender my thanks for their Pr 2 n ?' < ? tu ' j8 ™ ferwMcding th* information asked ior to m*ke the dwty oomp'ete. I7nforiunately there are a few who hare neglected to recognise that this little work ia useful both to themselves and their clients.' and I «nticipate that When the absence oj their entry *nd acceptance dates is noted they will join with me in regretting tb« omission/ The N.Z. Diary is published by Messrs Whitcombe »nd Tombs. — At the annual meeting of the Manawatu Racing Club the chairman. Mr D. Buick. i. '„ ld re P° r * and balanoe shpefl echoed the note of depression that has been conspicuous in most clubs as » result of the poor season experienced. The reason given. iS? S J^e . £ tri««ency in the money market. Ine Christmas meeting, which was *lw«v« considered the best of line year, bad shown a considerable falling-off in totalisator receipts, while the total decrease in revenue,, ' including gates, xailway fares, wnd cards '"- was £1200. As against this, however, it was pleasing to note that there wtfs an increase in nominations, «nd the chairman' I thought this a good sign, as showing the' popularity of the club. TJie balance sheeti only showed a slight loss when the fact wa* taken into consideration that a considerably amount had been written off for buildings. The bank overdraft this yewr totalled £602, as against a credit of £173 last year, th« position being, therefore, that they were £855 behind last year. There wa a big inin the work on the track, there being about Bo 'horses, as against 30 last year, i and there -were no complaints about the track Jit all. . The sand track and other improvements, had cost them £573, and they h*d paid-£ooo iff, the mortgage, so that they? really had £1073 to set against the over* draft. .' — The property, which .the Flemington trainer Walter Hickeubothaim hits bought into, it transpires,* is the Sen" Buckley estate, * down below Biragmnbil, in tba Mudgee district, and it is further stated (says an exchange) ihat an attempt will be m*de to produce blbod stock there on a email scale.. Though established in the south for very) many years, Hickenbotham hails £ram tn-e. ' wpstern districts of Kew South W-ales. and! followed his vocation of a jockey about Mudgee *nd Bathurst in the early days. It may not be generally known that Walter rode in! the famous 100-mile match between T*d Tarrant's Barmaid and Gus Coulson's Colonel , (ridden by Roger Davis) from Dub'bo to ' Orange, which by road is 100 miles. Th« ', match was won by Colonel, whose jockey took ' a few short cuts that were unknown to Walter Hickenbotham and his backers. Th« owners and their friends had relays cf h«,6ka ' ready on the line of route, Bind they fol- « lowed their respective cnampions over the» 100-mile journey. Roger Dcvi? slewed off th« road to take a short cut somewhere east of Wellington, and Tarrant. coming alon? in the reax. ' noticed the move and calif d upon Walter Hickenbotha.m to follow ; they reached a gate a few seconds after Colonel had gone r> through, «nd found the backers of that horse carefully locking it; hut Tarrant, who was - always a desperate man when rortfed. was " equal to the occasion, and. whipping cut a. t six-shooter, scattered the followers of Colonel * like rabbitn. Tarrant was «ft*rw*.rds training " hordes out on the Baroo. and after one bard ■ meeting took it upon himself to cv* this- 'I world a-nd all its works by the aid of * 3 dou-ble dose of strychnine. £
