The Avondale meeting will close on Saturday. j Aberbrothock lias broken down very ' badly, and will never race again. 1 Compass continues to hit out brightly, I and will take a lot of settling over big country next month. ! From Hawke's Bay comes news of the death of old Moral. After winning many minor Cups, he was relegated to the I stud, but while running in a paddock 'recently he broke a leg and was subsequently destroyed. I After getting left at the post in the Thompson Handicap Ngatiraunui was "sent out second favorite for the Hutt i Handicap on the second day. C. Jenj kins got him out first, and supporters of | the Taranaki horse were on good terms , with themselves as he showed the way linto the straight. In the run home i Ngatiraunui stopped badly, and probably = his best distance is six, or at the most, ■, seven furlongs. ■ . The Manawatu B.C. autumn meeting '; will be concluded at Awapuni to-day, ,'the principal event being the Sires' Pr'or|duce Stakes, run over six furlongs. IPeirene won the race last year after a -Ikeen tussle with Bronne. to-day's field f. includes Autumnus, Brown Owl, Prince ) I Soult and Ermengarde, and if this quar- ) tette sport silk the race should be well T worth watching. - The North "island Challenge Stakes l has been won by bearers of Clifford's colors on throe occasions. Treadmill - scored in 1903. Clenculloch in 1907, and i Counterfeit this year. The Chokebore i, stable has always been well represented 9 in the race, generally two starting, but 9 their success has not been marvellous I considering the small fields which lined .- up. The defeats of Taskmaster and a Thistledown in 1909, of Flitaway in 1910, and of Madam Madcap and Master--1 piece in 1911 were not nearly made up ; for by last week's victory. After win- - ning Counterfeit pulled up lame, and the a crack three-year-old will now have to a be spelled. While contesting the Autumn Handicap at Reefton recently Featherstone (Birkenhead—Keepsake) broke a fetlock, and had to be handed the friendlv bullet. Boanerges is to be given a chance to distinguish himself across the water, and T Geo. Price will probably leave early in May for Sydney, where the gelding will d take on big sprint handicaps, n The ex-N.Z. horseman R. Cameron rode i- two winners at the recent Onkaparinga c meeting. | The Royal Fusilier—Gossip colt, for i-'which Mr. T. H. Lowry refused DOOgns I, at the recent Sydney sales, has been i, brought back to Hawke's Bay, and will d race in New Zealand next season.
