Maniopoto is making himself famous, und he is now the most talked of horse in tho colony. ui ß ue w owners will soon have him on tho right side of the ledger at the rate lie is going, namely, four starts and as many wins, all secured in hollow fashion. His appearance in some of the big handicaps will be awaited with interest, for he has not met anything to extend him so far. The Mastertoii acceptances wired through by the Press Association for the first day's races were far from being reliable, two of the winners names being omil'ted in some way or othor, namely, PhemJe in the Maiden Hack, and Wind in the April Handicap. Wind did not start in the First Hack Hurdle race on Thursday. The Leader, ridden by Dr. Paget, accounted for tiro Ladies' Bracelet at Masterton in easy fashion, notwithstanding the fnt't that he got lofl at the start. The field he beat »«s a fairly good one This horse is worth watching for futuro events. The A.H.O, Easier Handicap still bears a Aery opon appearance. Mr Everett's handicap is voted on all siders to lie a splendid piece of work 24 horses are accepted for. out of an entry of 43. The local representative, Paiatutu, is reported to be in rare buckle. Auratus will I most probably be seen at F.llcrslie ' from the fact that his name is missing iron, the Feildipg acceptances. Uomoo, Spotty, Fuji-Cry and Ludy Annie are reported to lw doing good woyk, and everything points to a most interesting tussle on the Fller*tlie convincing ground this diiv week. •'

pniiiful surprise to sporting men throughout the colony. Mr Ij.l\ Nathan wus, perhaps, one of the most conspicuous ligures in the history of racing in this colony. Home years I ago, with his brother, he carried on ; the Whitford Park propei ty, hut this ! was sua ceded by the leasing of a portion of the Sylviu ]\ork iistuU', where Messrs L. 11. and N. A.

«. ji. Auman engaged ill racing on a most extensive scale, and their colour* have been carried with tho highest distinction in all the greatext and most important races throughout the colony,. It may l*> remembered- by those familiar with tho I history of the turf in New Zealand, that it was in the lato i,. J). Nathan's name that St. Hippo won both the New Ziealand and Auckland Cups. The lntei Mr Nathan wus a staunch friend to, and member ot, the Auckland Racing Clul*, and was several times its president. His name still appears in the club's records as a membor of the committee. The committee of the Taranaki Jockey Clui> met lust night, Mr O. Sa'mucl presiding. The new mlct) of the New Zealand Haclng Conferonce were submitted, and after discussion trifling amendments were passed for recommendation to tho Conference, for confirmation. Mr O.
