The committee asked the pencillers £3O for the privilege, but this was not agreed to, thp layers of odds offering £3 3s eaeli. This the elub would not accept, so a license to liet was issued (o the secretary, and as a result the club is reported to have made about £4O running book." What price Taranaki Secretaries putting on tlie bag and laying "the fea-ald"! Artillerie lias been scratched for the Filly Stakes at the C.J.('.'s meeting. Discoursing on past and present jockeys, a writer in the ''Winning Post" savs:—Any comparison of the past and present would not be complete without some notice of jockeys, and it must at once be confessed that the present comes out badly. Xo veteran would thum twiee if asked to declare upon this point, and we sadly need such jockeys as were riding even fifteen years ago.

The deterioration has been chiefly noticeable since the introduction of the "monkey seat" by Sims and later by Sloan. So successful was the latter that imitation at once set in, and the result is failure. Whatever his faults may have been, Sloan was an artist in the saddle; .his imitators arc quite the reverse. The locallv-owned and trained Multifid is engaged in the C.J.C. Great Autumn Handicap. Stylish is said to be fairly smart over four furlongs, and will be seen out at tile (lisborne meeting, which commences to-day. Goiden Way has been galloping well lately, and is a certain starter in the Filly Stakes at Canterbury. Lapland, who van third in the New Zealand Cup, will contest the Midsummer Handicap. The Hawke's Bay contingent for the Gisborne meeting went up in the Enru on Sunday and had a rough passage, most of the horses landing in none too bright condition. Hiekcy brought Tc Arai, Whnkawehi, Black Reynard, Kaiptipeti, Waihora. Cavron. Pumpkin, and Marnarque; Davis brought Dan Leno; Reap brought Chrysophrase and Uenuku; Mooro brought Matakokiri; and Kirk brought The Squatter,
