THE RUNNING OF DEMOS ' SHORT'S APPEAL DISMISSED. Wellington, Yesterday. Thy District Committee dismissed E. Short's appeal against his discjunlilcution by the Wellington Club stewards for two v'oars in connection with the running of Demos in the Shorts Handicap at the October meeting Immediately the decision was giver). Short lodged security for an appeal ts the Racing Conference.

TURF TOPICS, (By "MotuToa.") Race; at Trenthafh on Wednesday, Kilrush is an unlikely starter in the i Wellington Cup- * j Calais has changed hands again, but ' remains at Kllerslieis very unlucky, and musi have cost her party a heap of coin, Fiiv-i: Line has improved out of sight, and should run well at Foxton, Zola and Tigritiya have run a lot of seconds this season. Both are due for a win T-T Grav rode two winners, Vagabond and Marqueteur, at Feilding Borealis, winner of the Trial Plate, is a long-striding gelding by California— Austerlitz. trained by A Atwood, at Feilding Reivi Poto i-overed mere gromid than anything in the Manchester Handicap, and did well to gain second piaee. Rose Pink has done a lot bi racing during the present season, but she finished on as gamely as ever at Feilding; There wag big money for Zola in the Waituna Hurdles, but Stan lleid set toe warn :t pace on Whiro to give the consistent Wanganui horse a clfinee. R;> fenced pretty well ai Feilding, and did well to gain fourth berth in a fast run race

It may interest "double-pickers" to learn that Demos was withdrawn from the Fcilding Flying on January G. His nam?, did not appear ou the correct cards.

Vagabond, who had r.ot won a race for over twelve months, was made a solid favorite on Saturday, and H. Gray had him in a winning position all the way If either XystaA or Hawakorc had won Flying, the Bar Vons would have got a nice plucking, hut, Starengo sot up in time to save their skins. Staronan paid the only good "price" at the meeting.

Stretchings were oC the wholesale order at Feilding. and most people'faun? it hard to pick starters, let alone winner?. Sixteen were taker, out of . tlM* IVilrting Stakes, thirteen out of tlif Hurdles, and a similar number out of t\ip Cheltenham HanrtTcap. while th» scratching pen accounted for ten in tlw Aorangi Plate. It was a groat afternoon for pencil-pushing! Hiv Mnrt went oft at such a pfteo in the Kiwitea Welter that the race 10.-ked all ov;f aI. the turn. Tn the last furlong she stopped to a walk, and was beaten out of a place On the strength of her running at EUerslie the previous week, she carried big .money. Jhrqueteur showed greatly improved form at Fcilding, and, nicely handled V,- Gray, ran in a comfortable winner Minister, who had Dealey aboard, couhl oiilv finish third, and it is only a shame what his defeat cost Aueklanders.

Winning Shot ran in the 'eolors of the Auckland sportsman, M>\ F. E. White, n* P o il(linp. Although lies ten out of » plnce, the -Signor filly should fop a payin" nrop'i'-il ! <m <>t northern meetings. Jmlge J. IL Perrett was subjected to

hostile demonstrations at Ashhurst and at FeiTding At the lattor place he missed Rewi Poto, and placed lironk Delaval second in the Manchester Handicap. He afterwards returned to the box and corrected the error These sort of things leave a ba*3 taste in the mouth There is no doubt about purveyor be sng a good one. He beat a goad crowt' ■pointless m the l'eilding Stakes, running the five furlongs in lmin 1 1-asec on a tracK that was not by any means fast. | Silver Link did well fo run second, and ! the local filly will not have any Surveyors to beat at Trertham next week. I Trombone was saddod up twice on Srti'rdav. hut the opposition proved too good. He is. probably feeling the effects of three months' rncing. and a short resuite may alow him to freshen lip before the Taranaki meeting. The nominations received for the Taranaki ,1.0. autumn meeting are first class, and there should he fine racing here next nsflntV The Taranaki Stakes has filled splendidly, and hopes .are expressed that Desert Hold, Gloaming ver Tfnk, 80-TVep, Croesus, Txillowen, etc., wMI he seen under silk. The shippiiil hold-up appears to I>° about settled, and there is a hi? ehrnc? of T.ov/rv's pair being brought back to New Zealand Weights for the first day's events are due on January 27.
