Grand National Steeplclui. e ho will be attempting to score in a race winch lias "vet to be won by a Neve Zealand hor.-e many have essayed the task, hut none Pave got cliser than second pla.ee. The Otago-owned horse is engaged at the A..1.0. Winter meeting, to be held in Sydney on June 17 and I'J, hut may not reach N.S.W. in time to compete. Mr W. R. Kemhall lias added < to his lengthy team by the purchase of the two-year-old Dunedin, an Australian-bred son of Linacre. lie ran second in the valuable Breeders' Plate at Rundwk-k to Cove high!, but developed soreness on reaching Auckland and has since failed to distinguish himself. Rod Eagle ran fairly well in the Domain Handicap on the concluding day of the I). . 1.0. meeting hist week. He has been a long time coming to hand, but may be heard from next season, when he will nude as a six-year-old. The All Red gchiing created a ten - favourable impression in the writer's mind as a young horse, but has so far failed to bear out some nice things said of him. For the sake of his patient owner, J. O. llymers, it is to be hoped that he will yet win back his substantial purchase money. The Ashburton Trotting Club’s Winter meeting will be held to-morrow (Thursday), when great intere.-t will be taken in the race for the Sapling Stakes, in which some very .-mart two-year old pacers are engaged. Last year Doraldina beat Lady Swithin over the course of one mile and a half in 3,35 1-5, with Wildbriar a neck away third. Tb c Special Commissioner of London Sportsman (Mr W. Allison: would not have the favourite, Tetratcma, for the Derby, and, among other scathing things, remarked that ‘ the Devonshire Pass family had never produced a stayer." Line of his comments after the grey’s defeat in the Greenthaiu Stakes by silvern was: —"People arc all discussing the supposed mystery of Tetnuema’s defeat ;f Newbury. To me ir was no mystery at all, as it seemed inconceivable that a classic winner could emanate from the female lino of Hippodrome, quite apart from what wc may think of The Tetrarch’s sianiina." After events proved the correctness of ilie (Special Commissioner’s judgment, as the Derby favourite failed badly in the race won by good old Carbine’s gran Iscn, onion Kop. ?There was a somewhat remarkable meeting at Manchester (Eng.; on April 5. It was a jumping fixture, with six rants on the programme. Of these, a hurdle race and a steeplechase, of £l3l each, fell through, owing to there being no runners, and there was a walk-over for a hurdle race of £219. It was pleasing to note that the consistent gelding Ficus pulled up all well after the (onre.-r for the King George Handicap at Wingatui on Saturday after finishing second to Radial. The son of Eiysian goes into winter quarters with the record of a verytrying season behind him, in which lie ran second in a rather remarkable number of valuable races, including three of the principal handicaps of the last New Zealand Cup meeting, viz., Metropolitan Handicap, to Battle Song, Jockey (Tub Handicap to Maioha, and Eendciron Handicap to Dribble. It is reported that Coalition struck him-bt-lf when galloping on the Wingatui tracks, hence his non-aooearance in public at the D.J.C. ti xture. RICCARTON TURF NOTES. A SOUTHLAND HORSE SOLD. (Special to the Times.) CHRISTCHURCH, June S. The North island horses Sunart and Bonnie Maid are daily attendants on the Riccarton tracks. Their tasks are of a very! ea-y character, bur, as they are both very I forward, they could .-non be got ready fur j racing. ] Waimai is in steady work at Riccarton. I He has rr covered from the bruised foot i which troubled him after his race at the j Royal meeting, and he should he in go-id i order for the Grand National Steeplechase. | J. MeCombe purchased the Southland 1 mare Lady t’aihis after her win at Wingatui j on Saturday. j R. J. Mason has complete] his arrangement' for another Australian campaign in the spring, his intention being to leave for Sydney n-xt week with several of Mr G, D. Greenwood’s horses. Under the conditions ruling at present, however, it may not be possiole to arrange .shipping transport for the horses and unless the position, improve.-, the trip may have to he postponed. Gloam- ’ iug is getting through a lot of useful work. | He appears to be quite sound, and, if he can ! be got to Sydney, lie should play his part ; well in some of the valuable weight-fnr-age i events to be decided at .Ramhvick in the I spring.
