SPORTING NOTES.

The horses formerly raced by Mr. C. T. Keeble ran at Otaki and at Carterton in the name of their trainer, A. E. Browne, who, it is understood, has leased them for a short period. Bonhommo has gone into A. D. Webster's, stable.

Prior to winning at Carterton on Saturday, it had been decided to retire Misgovern from the race track, says "Watcher." Despite her victory she, with A. Goodman's mare Bene, will be sent up next week to Black Eonald. Bene is the dam of Printemps, Arpent and Arf —all winners. Trainer H. H. Doyle was one of the first out at Awapuni on Thursday, sending his two Comedy King geldings, Mah Jong and Comedy Prince, over a mile, the former having the better of matters at the journey's end. The New Zealand Cup candidate is infusing more dash into' his work over the early stages -ths/n previously. Birthmark, who was considered somewhat unlucky to lose at Carterton on Saturday after being indifferently placed in the early stages, was on the tracks, but the. Benzonian gelding was not called upon to do anything strenuous. „ S. Watson, who. has had charge of Birkie and March On sinee the opening of the new season, is working a steady improvement in the pair and it should not be /long before they are in racing trim. It was the intention of that mentor to give Sometime, who has also been placed in his care, jumping exercise, but with the advent of the ram the ground surface became treacherous and the hunter was restricted to a solid round on the grass. Sometime will in all probability be given an outing in the hack hurdles at Ashhurst. o,in Arlington (C. Bobinson) and Birkie (L. A. Young) were companions, over five furlongs. The former proved to be the more at home in the going and came away at the straight entrance to pass the post holding a comfortable margin, accomplishing his task £n 1(9. Boy Beed won a big double during the Sydney racing earniral (says the Melbourne Globe) the Metropolitan on Star and a prospective bride. A few days after the Metropolitan the engagement was announced of Beed and Miss Jean Scott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Scott, of the Boyal Hotel, Bandwick. The track at Carterton last week was considered to be in surprisingly good order considering the recent climatic conditions, and the Woodville mentor E. S. Bagby stayed on. Prior to his departure from Awapuni trainer T. Daly had De Luxe looking very well, and his absence from the Wairarapa Cup came somewhat as a surprise.' It now transpires that the Kilboy .gelding broke down. Bangi Sarto was entered for the Waikato Hunt meeting in the steeplechase, 8 but the 12.2 accorded him by the handicapper does not favour acceptance from Mr. Waller. While the Sarto gelding has yet to win a steeplechase event, he has 'been allotted the samo poundage as Kendal, the winner of the Winter Steeplechase at Auckland in June last and second to Lady Comet in the July Steeplechase at Wellington.

Beau Cavalier, the winner of the Hunt Cup at the iPalcuranga meeting, has been accorded a very reasonable poundage at the Waikato Hunt fixture. Trainer B. E. Hatch, fearing the advent of rain, was on the scene of action on Wednesday morning and was able to exercise Inferno before the conditions became too bad. |The Absurd gelding shows promise of quietening down under the handling being accorded him. Although i% has not been possible to give the new arrival a great deal of fast work, he has been nominated for both Christchttrch and

Auckland and it may be found that the northern trip will be considered preferable. March On was Isent alone over four furlongs, Dut the /Martello' gelding like his stable companion Birkie, did not appreciate the going and took in the neighbourhood of 57sec to cover the distance.

Benmure (C. Bobinson), Pangolin (B. Brown) and Pantler (E. G. Stratton) were companions over seven furlongs. The trio kept well together throughout, although Benmure had a shade the advantage over Pangolin in the run home with Pantler a couple of lengths back.

Lucre, another of A. Browne's team, has now been in work some time, but he has not been called upon to do any fast wor.k as yet. On Wednesday morning he was given slow pace work on the plough. Askari, whoso leg appears to have made a good recovery, was in attendance, but he Iras restricted lb pace work. Volhymia, another inmatp of E. E. Hatch's stable, who broke down at the track some little time ago, .his trainer having difficulty in getting the son. of Kilbroney gelding home, is now stated to be using his leg freely and withous any signs of tenderness, but he has not yet returned to w r ork. Chelone, .who was recently purchased by Mr. W. H. Gaisford, is not to be asked any serious questions for some time to come and is now on tha easy list, states a Hawke's Bay writer. Included in George Jones' team in the Hawke's Bay is Excess, a two-year-old son of Kilbroney and Fulsome, who is related to Commendation on the dam's side as Fulsome'is a half-sister to Commendation by Absurd. It is evidently intended to give-Pas-sionate a chance over the big fences, states an Auckland scribe, for he has been schooled over a few big fences at Ellerslie. His showing was considered to bo good for a novice. WELLINGTON RACES. B. H. Morris and F. Waddell were the most successful jockeys at the meeting, each riding two winners. , Tho«e who rode one winner each were , E. S. Bagby, E. A. Keesing, S. Wilson, lA. Brown, G. Bidgway, E. J.
