Master Soult, who went wrong shortly before the Canterbury meetiag. was considered well enough to content the Members' Handicap on Saturday, uud (nrricd 9.3 into fourth place in a smart . field.

the Ascot Handicap at Kllerslie on Saturday. After the race the rider rf Miss Winnie, the second horse. was! called upon to explain his riding of Iho J mare, and after hearing llio statements i ; of trainer and rider the good old harmless "severe caution" was solemnly ad-1 , ministered. i Horses sired by St. Paul usually lake after their progenitor hv being on the small side, and their best chances of success appear to be amongst the ponies. At Miramar on Saturday progeny of St. Paul won throe races, one of them putting up a track record for the course by cutting out six furlongs in lmin ISsee !—a good "go" considering the sAnall course and right-angled turns, j After her brilliant form this season, j and right on top of her easy victory in the Stewards' Handicap, it is hard to account for the big dividend paid by tlold Lace in the Members' Handicap oil the concluding day at Kiecarton. liven her unlucky stablemate, Truganini, wlio simply can't win anything, was entrusted with heaps more coin. It is one of the mysteries of the Turf. That Bobrikoll' could go like the wind for ten furlongs 110 one doubted, and 011 the strength of his marvellous track ' | form the Stead Memorial L'up was looked upon aa the best of good things ! for him. The public made the Finland | horse a good favorite, and from the rise j of the barrier he was never farther j back ttian .second, easily disposing of his qunrleUe of opponents in the shiiigii l and winning with his mouth open in 2min 7 2-osoc—a speedy performance. Bohrikoll's time was beaten in the running of the Fendalton Handicap, Aher- ' brothock coming with a rattle at the finish <md disposing of Dabcliiek and Print, who had been responsible for the s'olid pace set, and winning brilliantly in a fraction less than the time oecu- ' pied by llobrikoff in gathering ui the Stead Memorial Cup. The Waitara- trained Dr. Shimosu 'in- ' ished fourth in the Welter Handicap at j Kllerslie on Saturday, and his stable- \ ■ mate, Roliepotae. who scents to Have 1 | 'o = t all form, ran in behind his op- £, ponents in the Asint Handicap. \ The following »ji«e<«v au<T inw-euvate 1 par crept into a recent issue of the ; Sydney Mail:—"Proprietary racing in ( Now Zealand is a payable proposition, j Last week it was cabled from Dunedin 1 1 that the directors of t.ho 0..1.0. report 1 t Hint the not profits' for the year amountL ; ed to iiearlv .Cl!>.oi)t).
