TURF TOPICS.

(Ely "Moturoa •■■'). j Marlborough races on Wednesday and I Thursday. , The Cup and Stewards' double, was '■another win for the Par Vons. I Queen's Post, who won at WaveiTey, Us crippled with a kidney ailment, Southern scribes reckon Wnrsten's I rider handed the (fnu men- <m J.,1

reading for the backers! Clifford's luck! Rearers of the blue and gold eheipiers have run live firsts, four second and two thirds at the Canterbury meeting so far. The "T-lold-you-so'* crowd were Imsy after Reputation's downfall in the Derby, but Canterlmry Cup running made it I look as if that defeat were an accident. .Maniaroa was hopelessly" left in the |l Metropolitan Handicap, but on Wednesday he had better luck, and Ringform [ bad to travel fast to keep his head in I front of the Ta'ranaki prad at the finish. | Writing without the book, I would say | that this is Ringfovm's first win.

The action of the Stratford Racing Club in deleting hack events from their programme for the annual New Year meeting has given the usual grumblers a chance to raise a howl, but judging by the poor support given in the past to oix n events the move seems a wise one. Eig stakes are offered at Kllerslie, Auapnni, Marton and Hastings at this time of (lie year, and Stratford cannot compete. And, on the other hand, £2(100 in stakes should attract the best hacks on tli is coast.

Florist, Timothy r,nd Stvrax went well over the hurdles at ilawcra on Tuesday. There are many new chums being schooled, of which number Koval Trophy fences well, and tlie new track for hurdlers which has been fenced off will remove a long-felt want.

l.ortradn, runner-up to Ob.-ono in the Stewards' Handicap, is a full sister to Carhta, by Charlemagne IT.—Couraime winner of the Victorian Derby and Dales Stakes. The former is many removes I from a top-notcher, but ought to fetch a good price as a stud matron. Kaniki, who was for some time an inmate of F. Tilley's stable at Fordell, is now (according to 'vmi- Single.") unde* >O. Coxs care at Tlawora.

Ngatiruanui is now at the top of his form, and it only looks like a matter of •'darling, (and winning) of standing at the post, ire did the statue stunt the first day at Riccarton, and then came out and ran all over the opposition on Monday and Wednesday.

The Maltster filly Sweet Com so far failed to reproduce any of her Randwick form, and it looks as if two-year-olds on the other side are not the'brilliant lot some sports reckon. Rutala covered four furlongs in 47 3-r>sec. on Wednesday and Battle Eve and Flying Start each ran "4»" dead when they won. All of which are times which take some bating.

In a town not one hundred miles from \\anganui some tout put a talc about on Saturday last that Steinheil was a stone certainty for the T.imvood Handicap. Tlir liar Vons immediately took fright, and according to one would-be punter, "You couldn't have got a quid on if von'd had your running shoes on!'' Ami the "good thing" missed badlv. There's a fortune waiting for the bookmaker who will stand up gamely and take the "hot stuff' every time!

No official time was taken in the Canterbury Cup, but a contemporary solved the problem in a way that amused most people. -Time 3,10" was filled in, and considering that Signor's time for the race (3.53 2-5) stands as an Australasian record, it was a bad break!
