TURF TOPICS. (By "Moturoa.") Concluding day at Dunedin. Giaborne races open on Thursday next. Teka is taid to be a clever jumper. H. Gray has piloted 80 winners this 6eason. Thrace, with two firsts and a second, was the crack hurdler at Ellerslie. There is something significant in the remit of the Tamaki Steeples—Ulster, No Surrender. Monopole was considered a "dry" be* for the Orakei Hurdles, but Benzine proved a most useful commodity. Madam Ristori only paid a sliort price in the Visitors' Handicap, but the consistent Ohinewairua returned a beauty for second. Bollin has done no good at Wingatui so far, but what could you expect when the old fellow way nine days jolting around on the trip from Napier to Dunedin? The Southern sportsman, Mr. T. Dnegan, evidently regretted sellins Kilkee a fortnight ago, as he re-purchased the horse at an advance of £IOO the following week. Grand Parade, whose victory in the Epsom Derby was cabled yesterday, carries the colors of Lord Glanely, and as o two-year-old won eight races. After winning twice in England, Grand Parade way sent across to Ireland, where he won each of his six' starts. The defeat of such a warm favorite as The Panther would be a facer for followers of form, but the famous Tracery colt, whose value was assessed at 40,000 guineas;, appears to have proved as intractable as his name suggests. Buchan, who filled second place, is by Sunstar—Hamnoze. and races in the well-known colors of Major Astor.

This is supposed to be a true hill. At a recent down-the-line meeting the starter mounted his stand at the barrier and announced: '-Now, all you hoys.' who are having a go, line up here quickly." The field came into position smartly, and away they went first shot. It was very different a few years ago when Charlie Jenkins was the popular local idol, and a Maori admirer of the crack horseman manipulated the starting lever. It didn't matter how much time was wasted then as long as "Jenks.-" got awav. The dialogue upe-i to generally run'like this:— Starter: "l"ou ready. Charlie?" Charlie: "Right-o, Honare." Starter: "Then GO!" And they went. The late Mr. M. J. Goodson, who crossed the TVvUo at Hawera on Tuesrtnv, was wo!! \nown in sporting circle". He took an active part in racinir. and bred and raced several good winners. .Targon, by Cordon Pi'ouge—Ladv HypaHiia. won the Stratford Cup, Christmas' Handicap (New Plymouth). New Ply mouth Handicap, and other good races in the well-known peacock blue, black, and gold colors, and Cheer Up and Yeoman, both sons of Gavotte, were bred by him. Tn his younger days Mr. Goodson was a keen cricketer and athlete, in fact, a good all-round sportsman.("Moturoa's" 'notes are continued on yajje 11.)
