T.t\r"« at 'rrenfiiam on Wednesday. • The Fo-;tmi'meeting taken place on Tlmr-dny and Friday. Red Lupin figures' in selling races at the Wellington meeting. The dogs are barking Grattan for the Telegraph Handicap next Wednesday.

Siuapis has struck form again, and may be bard to bent in the Wellington Cup. Midnight Sun and Culprit will represent the powerful 10. ,J. Watt stable in the Wellington double. Autummis is galloping strongly ;a Kiccnrton, and southerners look to the Chokebore horse to ''line" Postillion it Trentham.

Undecided has made a good recovery from his Marton accident, ami when the writer saw the horse at; .Marion on Wednesday it was bis trainer's intention to rail him home the following day. The. Carbine horse Campiire. has not had many chances to distinguish himself in Taranaki, but ore of his progeny. Royal Dragoon, looks like proving a good advertisement. Tetiknra's prominent running at the holiday meetings has e.icouragcil Mr T. F. G'oddard to go on with him. and the Advance gelding will contest welter handicaps at Foxton. next week.

J Other Taranaki-mvncd horses under orders for the Koxtnn meeting include I Tree Lucerne, Simple Sam, rieronla, Maniaron, I'atronata. Koyal Dragoon. | Ktyrax, and others, it any (if (he stak"money is destined to ::»me this way it may he through -tin? deeds of Tree Lucerne, Maniaroa, and Royal Dragoon. Tile New Zealand jockey, C. Emmorsoii, is appealing against liis disipialiliI'ation. The case will be hoard on Thursday next, and all sports will lie pleased if the mistake (if one has heen made) will he rectified, and the lad cleared of all blame. Almost any horse can win rvees •> properly placed. Old. Naiimni h'id a good innings on tile West Coast. ITe started six limes, winning on three occasions and finishing second twice. Strange to say, lie was barred from starting at llokitika. where lie had lio against his name, on account of a shortage of. lead! Talking of "placing'' horses, a wellknown sport had a very indifferent hurdler, and after carting him all round the country meetings without, success, threw up his arms and asked. "Where, am I to place him now?'' Then the cynic stepped in. "Place him on the edge of a precipice," lie advised, "and then give, him a good shove ofi'!"' Hiding engagcnieiiLs worthy nf not? in the. Wellington Cup arc:—ll. ft ray (Uirkline), T!. Deeloy (Byron).-mid W. Young (Los Angclos). Birklinc Ims been coupled with almost all the Telegraph candidates, and promises to be oil" of the short-priced ones on (he day. The decision of the Opunake Racing Club to drop trotting events a 1 future meetings will cause some disappointment down the coast. Taranaki owners »f trotters have practically no. chances to race their charges in the provinre now, and there is no doubt tli? class of trotters we have tire of the useful sort. Trotting events have always filled wed in the past, too. The Opunake Club now has a credit of nearly £2(1(10, Tlorscowners consider that the club might attract better horses if the .stakes were raised to a respectable sum. The present committee is an energetic one. and no doubt these matters will receive attention shortly. The Wanganui Herald states that the Wanganui .T.C. committee has suspended Arthur Olliver for one month from IJe-' comber 20, IMS; William Hiirle for tlirce months from January ], ll)j;>, an 1 T. Pritchard and A. MeMullen each for three months from December -l\i. 191.1.

Expect, by his victories at Awanuni and at Marton, goes into the Uiglulcn stable practically for nothing. An effort is being made in some quarters to boom Calais. The local mare may not prove the marvel some scribes imagine. Everything comes to him who waits! Old Luros, who had not won a race for three years, scored twice at the Whanga- j rci inecting. I Square Deal, Postillion's won two races very easily af Marton. and may be hard to beat at Trcnthnm next week. Sweet Zinnia is affected with a growth in her tiiroat, which proh.ibly causes the "whistle" noticeable in her recent essays. Considerable interest is being taken in the Waterloo Stakes, one mile at weight-for-age, to be run at Trcntham . on Wednesday. The following remain ; n: —Postillion 0.5, Palisade f1.2, Antoninus !).2, Bon Ton 9.0, Emperador 8.11. Tinnier 8.4, Martins 8.4, Rinitldn B.J. Salzburg 8.4, and Sir Moseley ,8.4. A meeting between Postillion. Autnmnus and Bon Ton should be worth going a long way to see. It is to be regretted that Crown Pearl and Ventura could not be numbered amontrst the starters. What a great race it would he!
