TURF TOPICS. (By '<Moturoa.") Mnrton to-day and to-morrow. Gray went Svdney-wards last week. ITata off to Stetson. He's a beaut 1 Otonga paid a false price at Wavertey. Black Mark looks the goods at Marton. Gay Lad is a scalding hot favorite for tho New Zealand Cup. There is a win sticking out for Egmont Park in the near future. Punters have given up trying to Kick one to beat Gang Awn' to-day Sweet Tipperary, Gold Problem, Kurapal, and Utuwai Teached Mnrton on Monday. Starter Alf. Morse looked ns sprightly as a two-year-old at Waverley, and has lost none of his ability at the barrier. All Over is in the boom for tho Marton Handicap, and he will carry big money in whatever race he starts In. > Yankee .Tack and Sweet Tipperary read wen In the Hack Hurdles to-day. named will probably contest the chief flat handicap to-morrow. Stetson has been raised lOlbs, for his win at Warerley, but 12.1 mny not stop the grey, though he is not built on big lines. Sllonus Is very fit at present, and a Bracelet or two should adorn his owner's wrist before the spring has advanced far. Silenua started once last season, and won, the Bracelet at the Manawatu Hunt meeting. An exchange reports that J. Fryer is. forsaking the plough at Hawera to take up the agricultural Implement at Patea. In other words he Is giving up training for fßTFilng. Sonth Australia is the home of big dividends. and the other day a prnd named Argosy Boy, after running a dead-heat, won tho ran*off and paid a trifle over £3OO. Gay Lad Is at a very short price for the New Zealand Cup, and Vagabond. Red Ribbon, Battle Ssns, Affectation. Lorematrb, Motulhl, Bonnie'Maid and Lucid are quoted a few points longer It is not at all certain that Gay Lad will race in the Dominion this spring, and, on the other hand, he ia hardly sound enough to stand a searching preparation for a two miles race in November. Puntcr3 will he if they hold off until things get more definite. , ~ . - Tlio tracks at Marton were looking in nnc condition on Monday when this scribe was there, but aeveral heavy showers fell during the afternoon and probably the going will be ; : trifle sticky to-day. A largo number or horses were seen out, and Yankee Jack, Mattock, All Over, and Black Mark, all of whom had been going well, looked in good condition. Mattock is said to jump the big fences proficiently, and some touts give him more tnan i a rough chance of achieving steeplechase honors ; there this-weck. ! Onipoto is fencing in rrent style at Marton, ; and will keep Stetson busy, especially at u difference of lOlbs. Rio looks very sore, but they say tie soon throws off his soreness in bis races, TUslev Will ride the Bulls hctse in his Marton enDrift is said to bo an unlikely starter In the New Zealand Cup, and Menelaus has already been scratched. _ P.lsogne Is now located In W. Sharp 3 stable jit Elierslie. Alteration, Madam Ristori. and Paddington Green arc duo to race at the ramiranga Hunt Club meeting on September li, and will remain in Auckland for the Avondnlo spring meeting. The principal winners at tho Egmont-Wanpa-nui Hunt meeting were: J. B. Galsforfl £llO and Cup valued 25 guineas, C. W. Tyler p*™' J Lupton £OS, .T. M. Hurley £OS, A. <*• Woods £65,. J.

OPUNAKE CLUB. The annual general meeting of the Opunake Uacing Club was held on Friday. There was an attendance of 18 members. Mr. A. uooa, president of the club, presided. The annual report and balance-sheet for tne season 1918-9 stated, inter.alia, that the annual race meeting, held on March 17, was in \*ay a success. The club was favored wlin flue weather and a large attendance, whicn resulted in increased revenue from the totali-. fntor and gates, as disclosed by the balancesneet. Tho Ground Committee proceeded with the grading and forming of the new racing and training tracks immediately after the meeting, and both of these are now down in grass. Great difficulty has been experienced in procuring fencing material, and an order placed in May : for posts has not yet been completed.

The matter of the pew grandstand and other appointments is receiving attention, and plans have been submitted to the committee by the architects.
