SPORTING.
NOTES BY "MOTUROA." I The Hastings tracks wore, heavy on < Saturday morning. Jack o' Lantern (who arrived the night previous) did I slow work. Patuparareho went : twice round, and was tired before lie finished. Vivacity did half-paco work, going well. Feeeland be»t lnspan • over a niilo. ]Sadador. Ilof.T, and Springbok went twice round. ■ fell ; tha other two performed well. Matapiro, Bill Bailey, and Needlework went over three flights of hurdles in 'good style. Bounco and Handsome Rose were sent round twice over hurdles. The lateter hesi- ; tatod. Baltic did a fast two miles over hurdles, finishing strong. Cosma
and Daredevil did a fair exhibition over the sticksi. All tlho visiting horses have arrived. ICaitcre, who is in Hastings, missed noin nation. Seven have accepted for the steeplechase, and six for the hurdles. Mr J). O'Brien has disposed of Hcroisto, the disappoil (ting son of Grafton buing now the property of Mr A'. Champion, the popular pencilior. Hi< future he will be trained in company with Cavalry and Full Cry. It is intended to try tile colt at tho illegitimate game, and it is to be hoped he will then show to better advantage than when performing on the flat. Cavalry was practically a failure on the flat, and previous to Mr Champion purchasing him he was summed up by one of the Auckland sporting writers as absolutely tho worst horse in training in that district. A similafr instance i» Commonwealth, who, when racing on tlio flat, let his party down time after time. Commonwealth can now be yotcd .one of our most prorrri'-insr hurdlers. The re-lilt of Heroisr.i's change of quarters will be Hatched with interest. and It is to bo hoped he will follow the example set by Cavalry and Commonwealth.
