Afier granting the handicaps fo: .v 'lungarei and Takapnna he suffered -'elapse, and it will probably be so no time betore he will be able to t- k.' up his official duties again. New/e aud-bred horses weregreetly in erdeice at the recent West Austral an Tu.vClub's meeting. Plata, by Cas or—ltadia'it, easily accounted for the W.A.T.C. Derby, and ran third in the Per h Cop. Prophecy, by Phoebus Apollo—Problem, won the Sapling tiakes and Si.'an Hr uiieap, and Hildebrand, by Phcebus Apollo—Hilda, won the Maiden Plate.

Prophecy was prrchased by Mr Feuton, a Vi e.'-t Australian sportsma'i, at the AY elliuij.ou Park sale last season for 57 gr'ueas. Prophecy was allotted Gst. 131b. in the Sapling stakes, live furlongs, and the nest day in tl e Swan Handicap the weigh.-adjuster rose the weight to 9st, 91b„ a rise of 131b., but this did not deter Mr Fenton's horse i"om winning. Alba Rose has changed ha' ds, her new owrcr being Mr Edn-ond Balls, of i'e Aroha, a recent arrival from the Old Country.
