V p Garnett, however, is one of the optimists at the game and keeps or smiling in the face oi. reverses, , ant whistles the well-known tune, There is a good time coming." Should Make Good When the improvers* events foi square-gaiters come up for decision a ihe early country fixtures, followers of the popular sport will keep an eyt on the plain-looking Zanzibar. The Pukekohe-owned and trainee! gelding was- making only his second public appearance when he paraded for th« Winter Trot recently, and while he was last into the birdcage he was £ long wav from that position when tin race finished. The El Carbine gelding is one of the solid type and this factor will stand him in good stead latci on. He is built up in the right condition. A Good Looker If good looks will win races ther Mrs. H. W. Burch should have sonu success next season with Royal Triumph. W. Turner had the son of Th< Triumph looking a picture, and tin four-year-old gave some promise onc< he got under way. He has yet to b< taught to get away smartly and cor rectly at th,e signal, and when he masters this important point of the business the rest will be less difficult fo: him. In addition to this trotter, tin Olaudelands trainer will next sea sot have another representative by Tin Triumph, and a relative to Koro Peter carrying the brown and scarle chequers of the Hamilton sports woman. Game Too Hard for All Bell It is quite on the cards that ol<

All Bell has made his final appear ance on the race track, although he i; one of the “evergreens” that may bol up again any time. Owner Cockbil

j has not, however, received much en--1 couragement to keep the old general j going, as he is one of those which have got on a decidedly hard mark without any prospect of getting off it at Auckland Club meetings. Kept on 2.12 to the mile, time he has not produced for years, he has a hopeless task in chasing younger ones off the limit, or beside him, who can do better than All Bell has shown. May Go South I Nelson Tasker was not seen at anything like his best form during the recent carnival at Epsom, and this was not surprising as the robust little pacer had not hacl a long preparation. He is still on the active list at Alexandra Park and there is a possibility that the son of Nelson Bingen may form one of the Auckland party to compete at Addington in August. Fit and well \V. Nightingale’s candidate would tramp a merry eight or ten furlongs on the Southern dirt circuit. SOUTHERN JOTTINGS There is not much work at Addington at present. A few horses j are being worked on the cinder | track, which appears good going, and a number of young pacers and trotters are receiving their early education on the course inside the training track. The racing track has not been opened for some weeks past. It is an otY time with trainers, now that the season is finished, and those who have young horses in their stables are devoting nearly all their time to educating and properly gaiting them. j Left Useful Ones I Oinako. sire of Glenville, n winner at Ashburton on Saturday, was unforj tiiiuitely killed in a stable fire some 1 five rears ago, or he would have left | his mark as a sire. Most of his progeny are live-year-olds, and in this bunch he has' two very promising pacers in Belinda and Aleron. Oinakc was bv American imported parents. Harold Dillon and Grattanette, a marc by Grattan—Mrs. Fox, which traces to Sydney Wilkes. A Deserving Success It was at the last winter meeting of the Ashburton County Racing Glut that Kautoma ran second and first respectively in the two trotting events, , , and up till Saturday his form had beer , very disappointing. Ho won the Lyndhurst Trot Handicap in a fighting finish with Otaio Rose, and there was onl.\ a head in it at the judge. E. Frost ; deserved the win, as lie lias been verj patient with a horse which has nevei ; produced his track trials in liis races Kautoma is by Harold Dillon - froir , Alice Huon. A Silk Thread Youngster Air. E. H. Cambridge has in a three-year-old filly” by Silk Thread —Lady’s Child a compact little youngster whe • shows promise. In conformation sh<

is typical of her father, and displays plenty of determination. I Ter dam. e Lady’s Child, produced to The Triumph _ a speedy filly in Tactless. * Should Go Fast g It is seven years since the brood e ana re Galindo Lou produced a foal, but this vear she is thought to be safely _ in foal to Rev de Oro. Galindo Lou is the dam of that good mare Logan r Lou and Moniave. Logan Lou was a e great stayer, among her notable a achievements being a dual success in e the National Handicap. Another Fly for the Cup f Logan Park looks bright and well. Since he came back after his spell, the brilliant pacer lias not been asked to do any serious work in training, W. Jd Tomkinson just jogging him along - steadily. He will be got ready to race s at Addington in August. Logan Park b won the second division of the New Ii Zealand Cup this season, and finished
