Golden Loop and Cyrcne got among the winners at Daunevirke. Taranaki nominations are due mi Friday, November 2lith.

Tile Takapuna li.C. meeting opens on Saturday next. Maniapoto, looking as lit as Li:,' proverbial fiddle, carried the champion ticket at the Wauganui .show. The Xew Zealand Cup winner, Lady Lucy, was not nominated for the Auckland Cup. Waitara acceptances must be in on Monday night. The telegraph office closes at 8 p.m. Revenue, who won the Melbourne Cup of 1001, and is now used as a hack ay the Governor-General, wa> ridden l-> Flcniington on Cup Day by one of Lord Dudley's suite.

Staylioy outjtimped everything in (lie Raumati Hack Hurdles at Daunevirke and romped home a very easy winner from Reuinac. On the strength of winning the big race at Carterton, Equitas was sent out a good favorite for the Danncvirkc Handicap, but after leading the field a merry pace to the straight the good thing collapsed and Mendip scored comfortably. Great things were prophesied nbon' Mendip last season, and the ivii,v n which he gathered in the principal'handicaps at Dannevirkc stamp him as a fairly Smart horse. Hector Gray had the mount and had no cause for anxiety. "Do. you accept tips?'' asked the diner, wiping his moustache, "Yes, sir. replied the expectant waiter. A small piece of rustling paper was thrust into his hand. When, in due time he unfolded his treasure to ascertain the value of it, this is what he read: "Lady Lucy for the Cup!" How Golden Loop came to be beaten in the Uniutaoroa Handicap on Wednesday takes a lot of explaining. Here wis a good horse backed solidly by his .parly: considered the best .of good things—as he really was—and a nose defeat up>'cl the pot. To Puia is fairly smart but Golden Loop was unlucky to lose—some condemn his rider—and he proved on Thursday that, lie could gallop fairly fast by putting up ITHis more and beating Toanga. Old Cyrene was galloping in bi> o|.| I style during the week. Two seconds 1 and n win in his favorite race—the last on the card—show that lie is far from being a back number. Captain Bell has been raced all ov-r | the country this season in the frantic I endeavor to win slakes. " The Captain" is a good six-furlong horse, but he has been too sore during the past few weeks to show to advantage, and badly wantsa few weeks' rest. i Mr. F. H. Elliot, who is over 7(1 years of age, rode his own horse, Hotspur, to victory in the Ladies' Bracelet a* last Wednesday's meeting of the Broken Hill L.V.B.C. Hotspur carried ll.fl.nnd won easily by a couple of lengths. Mr. R. Brough was fortunate to secure a brace of victories with the San Fran filly Te Puia during the week. Fortune does not often smile on Dlclc, and he came in for a round of congratulation. Ilcumac did not fence too well at Danncvirkc, but between the jumps' smother 'd

everything for pace. First day's ioiin was good to follow, Reuniac scoring on the second day in the absence of >;tayboy. Arthur Olliver, recently returned from 'Stralia, expresses the opinion tliat his mount, Artilleric, was unlucky tu miss the Caullicld Cup. The ex-New Zealander had the usuai bad run at the psychological moment, as the horse-poets say, and before she could clear the race w • won and lost and the books had opened on the nexi!

Sea Eagle, winner of the Maiden at Danitcvirke, is a shapely two-year-old daughter of Birkenhead and Kain. Away from the course the (logs were barking her liiinie, but when the tote commenced operations an ugly rumor got about that she had broken her neck or her contract or something of the sort. Sea Eagle looked all right in the paddock, and wilh H. (iray on hoard did a pleasing "prelim." Her ''neck" was all right anyhow! Still, people listen to everybody's foolishness on a racecourse ami -'he went out paying a bigger price than she should have done. The race was all over when the daughter of llirkcnhcad ran into the lead at the turn for home, and she won very I easily by a couple of lengths from Celebrity, who just beat the unlucky Kimnicrian for second money.

Of the C 15.510 dispensed by the Canterbury Jockey Club at its recenl Cup meeling no less than seven owners pocketed over a thousand apiece. V. Tilloy with (.'ISOO for Udv Lucy's Cup win,' ami F. Hall with a like amount earned bv Gold Lace in the Stewards' and Members' Handicaps', top the list. Icing onlv a few pounds ahead of Sir George C'lill'ord, £1470. the stakes attached to four firsts, four seconds and two thirds scored by members of his team. Elysian and Field Gun made Ilie trip a profitable one for Messrs. Foss and Steuart bv appropriating £1450. Mr. I). Ruiek.'M.P., lifted £12511 with Aberbrothock. and Mr. T. 11. Lowry's share of the spoil was £1220. The Canterbury owner, Mr. O. D. Greenwoo.l, won the respectable total of £lOls. Lower down the list is Messrs. A. and W. Robertson, c£275, won by Sir Prize. "Terlinga," in the' "Australasian,' details some conversation between jockevs while the Melbourne Cup was being run:—"No horse got a better run thm Trafalgar. Harden is a wonder in a big field. He was well up in the inside all through, and never met with t.ic least interference. Alawa made up hi-' ground on the outside. Once he seem.',l to be knocked back, but he came again in the bend, and he and Trafalgar were first into the straight, lit looked then as though the pair were going to fight it out. There was no sign of Triune Foote. Before the distance Burden sized up the situation, nnrt asked l.cw.s to save £SO. ' Wait till [ have a look, said Bob, 'I might save more.' Having had a look, he said. 'No, I can beat you.' Then Prince Foote Hushed up on the outside, and the laugh was with Burden. 'lt does' not matter about our saving now,' he said, and true enough it didn't.
