TURF TOI'ICS. (By "Moturoa.") Iu the telegraphed list of acceptances for the New Zealand Cup, 'Frisco and Glenullin were omitted. The Lark was included in error. The following rehandieaps have been declared for the Master-ton meeting: Hack Hurdles Master Douglas lO.lis, Liberator 9.10. Cup—Sir 'Frisco 9.3. Mahuta's owner, Mr. H. McManaway, has purchased Castiglione for 150gs. Amongst winning owners at Trentham were Messrs. Bowen and G'orrigari ( £150) and T. F. Goddard ( £9O). Tiptoe, with C. Jenkins up, scored an easy victory in the Nai'nai Handicap on Saturday, and escapes a penalty for the Stewards' Handicap. Glenullin carried a lot of money in the Pearce Handicap, and finished well up in fifth place. Glenullin's form at Trentham has gained him many friends for the New Zealand Cup. North Head wa3 the outsider of the field in the Nainai Handicap, and finished a long way back. j Whetumarama was a warm favorite in the Buahine Hack Race, but burst a blood-vessel and had ito be pulled up. A number of local horses were railed to Masterton yesterday morning. Bob Barlow took Sir Artegal; A. Rhodes, Golden Eagle, Mikotalii, and the hurdler Haerainai; and Thackcr's team consisted of Fulrainator, Timothy, and Golden Glow. Mr. Duncan's horse Kilclieran, of the Waikanae stud, was killed yesterday morning. The stallion was insured for £SOO, but that amouat does not nearly represent his value. The winnings of Flying Fox amounted to over £40,000, but that is not the biggest sum credited to a racehorse. Isinglass won £57,450 and Donovan £50,154. Flying Fox was Bold in IUOO for £39,375,

Mr. G. F. Moore, of Bushy Park, Kai Iwi, has had the bad luck to lose that good sprinter Dusky Morn, the five-year-old son of sou'-Wester—Swift, A week or so ago the gelding showed symptoms of lameness behind, and hi 3 trainer did not gallop hj m in conse/ quence for a few days. It was thought the horse was suffering from his kidneys, "but he appeared to improve again. Last Tuesday morning he was doing slow work on the Wanganui racecourse, when he was seen to falter at the bottom of the straight, and, after going a few strides, suddenly fell to the ground. A veterinary surgeon was immediately sent for, and on examination being made, it was found that the horse was hurt across the loins, being paralysed in tile hindquarters. Word was sent out to Mr. Moore, and on his arrival he had the animal removed to Die centre of the course, whore a tent was erected over him and everything possible done for the horse, but it eventually died. A post mortem examination revealed tilie fact that the gelding's back had been broken. The loss is a severe one, as Dusky Morn had proved himself one of the speediest horses in the land, and had some valuable engagements at the forthcoming C.J.C. meeting, whereat he would have taken an immensity of beating in the Stewards' Handicap had he gone to tin 1 post tit and well.—Exchange.
