CrackSUOT, Merrie England and Chain Shot are doing well at Riccarton.

Jenny, the hero of the Great Northern and Hawke’s Bay Steeplechases, is sullerin°‘ from a sprained fetlock, but no permanent results are apprehended. Bowmont, the disappointing brother to Lady Betty, goes to the stud, his owner finding that it was no use persevering with the son of St. Albans and Pardon. MrG. B. Rowley, of Sydney, has issued the list of ponies and galloways measured and approved of by the associated clubs. The total number on the list is 221. Mr Bladder, of Adelaide, lias bestowed the name of Sainfoin on the vearing colt by Richmond from Instep. Sanda, the dam of Sainfoin, winner of the English Derby, and Instep are both out of Sandal. At a recent meeting of the New Zealand Trotting Association in Wellington, a letter was read from the Taknpuna Jockey Club, asking for information in reference to several matters appertaining to the new trotting rules. Local backers are supporting Ahua to win the New Zealand Grand National Steeplechase. There is no New Zealand Cup wagering, and for the Melbourne Cup the “ punters” principally select Melos and the occupants of Walter Hickenbotham’s etable—Carbine, Titan, and Prince Consort. Information has been received from Mr Savill, the trainer of Ringmaster and now of Chicago, to tho ell'ect that tlie horse must have had the suspensory ligament in his near foreleg sprung when he landed in England. Mr Savill is afraid the horse will never be any use to him, but he intends to try the efficacy of firing. Mr A. Tennant, an Adeleide silver lung, who only a few weeks back purchased from Mr W. R. Wilson, Allegro, Legend and My Lord, had the satisfaction of carrying oil' the Farewell Handicap at the S.A.J.C. meeting with the former filly. The Author, who was also disposed of by Mr Wilson to Mr A. Scott, at the same time, won the Junior Handicap for his new owner. It is reported (says “Augur”) that Mr W. T. Jones intends to claim Prelude, who at the Hon. James White’s sale was knocked down to Mr Vincent Dowling. Mr Jones appears to think that tho filly was bought in for Mr White, but I fancy he is labouring under a wrong impression. Under any circumstances she could hardly bo a bargain at the price given for her. From Launceston comes the news of the death of one of the fathers ofthe Tasmanian turf, in the person of Mr Wm. Field, the Enfield squire, the cause of death being general debility. The deceased gentleman, who was 76 years of age, has for more than 50 years been closely identified with racing in the island colony, uudas the owner of Strop, one of the gamesb animals that over looked through a bridle, soon won a name for himself. A week’s compulsory “standing down ” did not depose T. Loates from the leading position in the winning list of English jockeys, though Woodburn and G. Barrett were not far behind him with twenty victories each on 10th of May. \\ atts and Weldon continue to keep close company, and with White’s total at fourteen he passed S. Loates, who, like his brother, had been out of the saddle for seven days.

The English scribe “ Rapier,” writing on Carbine’s victory in the Sydney Cup, says : —“ Won by ‘ half a nose ’ at the end of a two mile race! What does half a nose amount to, I wonder ? A length beating is generally calculated at two yards and a half; half a length, therefore, is 3fb 9in, a neck, I suppose, is about Ift lOin, a head some 15in, a nose something like a third of this, and half a nose, therefore, not more than 2£in ! The judge’s eye must have been sure indeed if he made certain of this.”

MR STEADS HORSES,

11 Spectator" has been looking over Mr Stead’s formidable team at Yaldhurst. From his lengthy notes anent the visit 1 condense the following :—Scots Grey, on his box-door being opened, came shuffling round and surveyed us in a kindly manner, I did not trouble Dan Roberts to remove his rugs. I could see that he has been enjoying his olivm cum cliff. , and as Mr Stead remarked he did not look quite a lirst-class investment for the next New Zealand Cup at 100 to 7, the price accepted a shore time ago. A good game little horse is this groy son of Musket and Maid of Athol, and one that has ever been in trouble from some complaint, the seat of which is beyond man’s ability to locato exactly—muscular, 1 should say, wherever it may be. Silver Knight is a banging colt that has lost a lot of his coarseness since Mr Stead purchased him, indeed a great change has been effected in him, for he has thickened a great deal, too, and this brother to Merrie England will in time wear a commanding appearance. Seen in his box, ho is a big one. Melinite is a beautiful chestnut filly by Nordenfeldt from Pearl Ash, and though somewhat backward in appearance just now, the outline substance and quality that go to make a flyer aro there, and this more than, half-sister to Pearlsheil is of great promise. Palliser, by Nordenfeldt—Radiance, has grown up a lot, and is now an upstanding customer, and he looks in very forward condition, though he has not filled out much, and will run light as a three-year-old. Medallion looks extremely well, and is filling out into a nice horse, and those splints on his forelegs are flattening down —a sure sign that they are likely to disappear altogether. They are nob likely to interfere With him now, I should say, though I rather suspect that they stopped him from being as forward in the spring as he should have been. Moraine has evidently nob been doing much for some time, judging by the condition he carries, but he is growing into a nic9 little horso and is as gentlemanly as ever. Lebel, the yearling colt by Nordenfeldt—Pulchra, shows the family characteristic for thickness and early maturity that has been noticeable in all Pulchra’s offspring. Perhaps a thicker and more muscular colt of his inches was never seen in this colony. He stands 14h 3.tin on good legs, and is as thick as the proverbial waterbutt, and there is plenty of room for him to groiv out all ways. Sword Belt, a son of the defunct Sword Dance, from Necklace, has improved vastly since he first made his appearance in the South, and should prove a good investment. Clan Ranald, by St. Leger from Scottish Lassie, is grow’ing into a taking, fine colt. Rose Argent was out in the paddock near the stable, and as her rug hung on one side I could 3ee that she was in big, healthy condition.

ENGLISH RACING NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Three years ago Lord Rodney’s good luck was proverbial. For a season everything he touched burned to go’d. Then the tide suddenly turned. Things were not, liowever, very bad till the young peer purchased KUwarline’s brother Danbydale. This impostor commenced a long series of tragedies by being left at the post for the Hunt Cup at Ascot last year. Lord Rodney chose to believo the accident was not wholly accidental, and presently removed

the horse from Jewitl’s stables at Newmarket, to Weaver's at Bourton. Dan bydale’s new trainer then tried tho son of Arbitrator with Veracity, and found him (as Captain Machell had done) a wonder. Time after time the beast was backed for big races, and lost them through running piggishly. At last owner and stable resolved to waste no more money on the horse. Danbydale was sent to Derby to run for a £I,OOO stake, and unbacked. This time he won easily. Danbydalo’s last appoarance was in tho Jubilee Stakes at Ivempton on Saturday week. 7be following day the poor animal fell down dead in its stall.

The great event of the present week has been tho Newmarket Stakes of 6,000 guineas for three-year-olds, won last year by Donovan. With Surefoot not engaged and Riviera and Right Away still on the sick-list, the way seemed to be clear for Baron Rothschild’s Le Nord, which appeared to have most to fear from the Duke of Portland’s pair of fillies Semolina and Memoir and the Craven Stakes winner, Morion. Semolina and Morion, however, did nob start, so that the baron’s crack had only Memoir, Blue Green, and a mob of ragged outsiders such as Garter, Ponza, Kirkham, Martagon, Loup, and Bull’s Eye to beat. Odds of 7to 4,2 to 1, and finally 85 to 40, were freely laid on Le Nord. 6to 1 being offered against Memoir, 100 to 7 Blue Green, 25 to 1 each Garter and Ponza, 33 to 1 against Riviera (all to pieces), 66 bo 1 Kirkham, 100 to 1 others. Memoir and Blue Green made the running to the distanco, where the favourite was expected to assume command. Instead, the uncertain son of Tristan and La Noco compounded, and Memoir managing to retain a slight lead of Blue Green from the Abingdon mile bottom, just won a grand race home by a short head. Value of stakes: £6,500. Memoir, a bay filly by St, Simon out of Quiver, belongs to Ilis Grace of Portland, who thus forlhe second year in succession wins this rich stake. The Duke writes that St. Serf will not start for tiie Derby.

The Payne Stakes for three-year-olds on Thursday resulted in another turn-up, as Blue Green, on whom 7 to 4 was laid, could make no sorb of fight with Lord Hartington’s Craven winner Morion (by Barcaldino out of Chaplet). Unfortunately, Morion is not in the Derby. The principal two-vear-old stake of the meeting fell to Lord Durham by the aid of Peter Flower, a son of Petrarch and Florida, which beat Bumptious, Crinoline, and two others easily.

DUnEDIN jockey club,

The great body of turfites must l'egreb the action of the Dunedin Jockey Club in reference to the proposal to establish a New Zealand Jockey Club. Without hearing what is really proposed to be brought forward at the convened Conference of delegates from the various metropolitan clubs, they point-blank instruct their representatives that thereis no necessity for the Club, and they will nob allow any combination of representatives from other clubs to interfere with them in the managemonb of their own affairs. This is cool indeed, and is another instance of the petty provincial jealousy that exists in the Southern capital, even in racing matters. AUCKLAND-BRED THOROUGHBREDS “Augur” has been looking over the yearlings purchased at the last Auckland sales, now located at St. Albans. He says : “ Lady Carbine (by Nordenfeldt —Mersey), like her relative, is not a striking animal at first sight, bub she grows upon you, and for her owner's sake 1 hope she may prove as profitable to Mr Wilson as Carbine has been to Mr Wallace. Steadfast (by Nordenfeldt, from Nelly Moore) is one of the low, long, and strong kind, with short, sound-looking legs, and when he matures ho will, I fancy, be found to be moulded somewhat after tho fashion of his halfbrother Lochiel, as handsome a racehorse as any man need wish to look at. She (by Nordenfeldt from Steppe) is a grandly-bred youngster, standing a .trifle back at tho knees, and not so powerful as some of the others. Cooya (by Nordenfeldt from Radiance) is a filly that will, I think, pay her way, for she is strong and well-shaped, and descends from a pretty good family. In a paddock close by were four other yearlings, and one was Trenton’s relative Zalinski (by Nordenfeldt—Frailty), who will be quite as good-looking a horse as Dan O’Brien’s old pot. Mr Wilson has very wisely determined not to train this colt to run in the spring, but he will be taken in hand shortly with a view to have him ready for the Ascotvalo Stakes in the autumn. A run or two at tho back end of the season will do him good, and then he ought to be a great Derby colt. With him was the Nordenfeldt —Ouida colt Strathmoro, a good-looking colt with a very bad parrot mouth, the upper teetli protruding far over the lower.”

THE MELBOURNE CUP.

Judging by the criticisms of the Australian sporting scribes that are fo hand, Mr E T. Barnard has set turfites a difficult puzzlo to find the correct pea inhisMelbourneCupcompilation. While several stand by Carbine as having a right good chance with the going good, the majority wipe the son of Musket out, one scribe very truly remarking “ that he mentions him merely out of respect for his great excellence, nob because he values his winning prospects. In a first-class field, and in a race run from end to end, as the Melbourne Cup generally is, weight tells ; thus every pound over lOst hampers a horse and anchors him.” The scribes are unanimous that Fakelia is well handicapped, but it appears he is none boo sound on his legs, while each has a good word for Prince Consort and Marvel. Argos, a Sydney-owned two-year-old colt got by St. Albans from Medea (the dam of Blink Bonny), ispubforthtoseeashorbprice, bub of the whole of the young division Gresford is thought particularly well in. “ Martindale” says :—“ Gresford at 7st has been running in such a consistent manner of late that everyone must admit that he has pretty well earned the title of the best of the season in Sydney. Both at six furlongs and a mile he has shaped like a racehoise, and that he will travel over a distance of ground is pretty certain.” Another scribe on the Melbourne “ Sportsman ” is most enthusiastic, and sings Gresford’s praises thus: Studonts of form have only to refer to his latest performances against a mixed field of all ages in the Royal Stakes at the Sydney Queen’s Birthday mooting, also at the close race he ran with Ernest, who is in great form just now, at the Sydney Winter Meeting. I am always inclined to look sceptically at a two-year-old’s performances, when he simply romps away from his fellows in age, because, after all, he may simply be the best of a bad lot; bub when I see a youngster come out and give lumps of weight away over six furlongs bo a mixed field, and run a good fair four-year-old, like Ernest, to a head at 21b, then I pause and say, here is merit. Gresford is by The Drummer, from La Muebte, by Fireworks from Fenella, by Fisherman from Rose do Florence. Good blood this, bub steeped in abeyance now for some years past. It looks, however, as if these dormant strains of excellence were again to become preeminent by the aid of Gresford. Can we wonder when we remember that his g g

dam, Rose de Florence, traces descent maternally to Marpessa?—the dam of Pocahontas, who produced such clinkers as Stoclnvell, Rataplan and King Tom. The following is a corrected list of the weights for the Melbourne Cup taken from papers to hand. The first forfeit is due before 4 p.m. on Monday, the 4th August.:

Melbourne Cup, a handicap sweepstake of 50sov each, 10ft, or ssov only if declared to the secretary of the V.R.C., A.J.C., or C.J.C. before 4 p.m. on Monday, 4th August, with 10,000sov and a trophy value 150sov added. After the declaration of the weights for this race, the winner of any handicap flab race of the value of 100sov to carry 31b extra ; of

200sov, 51b extra ; of 300sov, 71b oxtra ;

of 500sov or upwards, 141 b extra; provided that the winner of the A.J.C. or

V.R.C. Derby of 1890 shall carry in this race nob less than 7st6lb. The sec nd

horse to receive 2,000 and the third l,ooosov out of the stake. Two m.les.

In Sydney, the double, Melbourne Derby and Cup, has been largely dealt in at 1,000 to 10 with Titan, and 1,000 to 5 any other way. Business straight out on the Melbourne Cup has been done at the following prices:

1000 to 40 V. Carbine 10CO to 30 v. Tnrcoola 1000 to 40 v. Melos 1000 to 30 v. Gatling 1000 to 40 v. Titan 1000 to 30 v. Grcsford 10 0 to 30 v. Lonsdale 1000 to 25 v. Sir William 1000 to 50 v, Lawyer 1000 to 25 v. Marvel 1000 to 30 v. P’c Consort IUOO to 20 v. Ethclbert

THE HAWKESBURY HANDICAP.

Sydney, July 8. Mr Scarr has declared the following weights for tho Hawkesbury Handicap (one mile and a-hall), to be run on September 6th :

THE NEW ZEALAND CUP.

now before us, and the first thing of note looking at the list is the Christchurch handienppers have taken almost the same view of the merits of Tirailleur and Merrie England as Mr Barnard. The V.R.C. weight-adjuster makes Tirailleur meet Merrie England at a disadvantage of 31b, while in the race under notice thero is 4lb between the pair. On some of his form, Scots Grey lias nothing to complain of, and Dudu has a most taking appearance with Bst ' 91b opposite her name. If Recluse and Raglan could only be brought back to form, they would both be dangerous, and I favour greatly the chances of St. Andrew and Aiedallion. Renata is decidedly well in, and if his stable companion, Jet d’Eau, is the great horse so many tell us, the son of Cadogan’s impost will not stop him from winning. The handicap is an awfully flattering one, and on this account is pretty sure to bo favourab'y received on all sides. There is a great number of young horses in the race about whom little is yet known, but to make a selection I favour most the chances of Medallion and St. Andrew.

A SUCCESSFUL HORSEMAN. Among our local horsemen on the flat, Tommy Taylor is usually one of the most successful, and looking up his record this season, I lind out of 51 mounts he has the splendid average of having ridden 24 winners, while 8 times he has been second, 10 times third, and 9 times unplaced. Among Taylor’s victories he has ridden the winners of tho Auckland Guineas, A.R.C. Welcome Stakes, Hawke’s Bay Cup, Napier Park Cup, and A.R.C. Easter Handicap and Autumn Handicap. Taylor is a steady and reserved young fellow, and does credit to the profession he follows. BITS OF TURF. Mr R. May, the well-known penciller, who has been on a short visit to Sydney, shortly returns there to reside permanently, and intends joining his old partner, Mr J. Enko. Like all Maorilanders who visit tho other side, Mr May speaks in glowing terms of tho extensive field of operations lor sporting men. Mr T. Hedger advertises Antelope and Miss Stead for sale. I am glad to record there is a probability of the old brood maro Sylvia having another foal. Mr George Cutts tells me she is heavily in foal to Ingomar, and is due on the 17th of August. Onyx is also stinted to the same stallion. All of the young stock at Sylvia Park arc doing well, and Mr Cults speaks in high terms of the colt by Nordenfeldt out of Steppe, the halfsister to Hermit.

It turns out that after all New Zealand is nob unrepresented in the next Maribyrnong Plate. Mr G. G. Stead has entered Lebel, by Nordenfeldt —Pulchra ; Mr S. H. Gollun a colt by Albany —Speargrass ; and Mr D. O’Brien a filly by Tasman out of his old pet Rubina. The V.R.C. Grand National Hurdle Race is run at Flemington next Saturday. Aucklanders will look forward with interest to Dona d’s running. Mr li. Burko has entered Lady Belle, by Brigadier—Bello, for tho Victorian Dorby of 1891, and she also figures in the Oaks and St. Legcr. Among the other New Zealand nominators for theso events aro Major George, and Messrs Stead. Gollan, O’Brien, Clillord, Ormond, Donnelly, and Baker and Co.

The Australians are evidently getting more than afraid of the New Zealand invasion of racehorses, for “ Augur ” remarks on some recent arrivals in Melbourne : “ We are threatened with a continuous invasion of a certain class, and I would strongly advise our handicappors to look up their performances.” In another portion of tho same issue, “ Augur ” condemned Mr Barnard for handicapping Rossi tor (since dead) too leniently in tho V.R.C. Grand National Steeplechase, and he thought Donald let off very lightly in tho Hurdles.

The Auckland Trotting Association have issued an excellent programme for a meeting on Saturday, 30th August. There are seven events, the best being tho Handicap Trot of 50sovs, 3 n.iles ; Pony Cup of 40sovs, 7 furlongs; and Pony Hurdles of 30sovs, I j mile. The full programme appears in our business columns.

Vanguard, who paid the big dividend at the Takapuna Meeting, ran second in a Hurdle Race at Warwick Farm (Sydney) lately. Cabiban, the winner, was ridden by P. Nolan. Singapore is said to be a greatly-improved colt, and Whakawai is again coming into form.

According to the Melbourne “ Sportsman," J. Rae hasTitokowaru looking splendid, but Guy Fawkes doesn’t seem -to improve. W. Hatfield, who had his leg broken abovo the ankle in Sydney tho other day, was to have ridden some of J. Rae’s horses at the forthcoming V.R.C. Steeplechase Meeting. Tho New Zealand jumping horse, Secretary, who is now in the powerful stable of Messrs Miller, of Victoria, won the Selling Steeplechase at Elsternwick Park races the other day. Secretary was bought in for £145.

A friend of mine (says a Melbourne scribe) has a lady acquaintance who is a regular Stewart Cumberland as regards dronming the winners of important races. This lady's last “effort ” in that direction was on the coming Melbourne Cup, and what do you think it was? Well, it was a horse in Abe Davis’ stable. Not Pakeha, but Clare ! More unlikely things have happened in racing circles than that this daughter of Richmond and Lady Wilton should get homo in the rich £IO,OOO event. The New Zealand trotting mare Princess, who has a great reputation in the South, and was recently taken to Victoria, did not have a very long life, as the following from the Melbourne “ Standard ” shows : “The stewards of the Victoria Trotting Club on Saturday once more displayed their determination to put a stop to anything of a shady character. Princess bears a great reputation as a trotter, from the fact that in Saturday’s race she was placed limn, less ssec, behind scratch The mare, however, finished nowhere, and the result is that she and her owner and jockey (D. Price) go into retirement for the remainder of their natural lives.”

After a long trial, Mr J. Mayo, the Sydney sportsman, has arrived at the conclusion that Honrydew has seen his best day, and it is hardly probable that he will ever race him again. ,
