Otaki again to-day. Wanganul on Thursday next. Menelaus has been retired from the turf. Warplane looks very fit to contest the Wanganul Guineas. Volo was taken out of the Wanganul Spring Handicap as soon as the weights appeared Mulllngar and Tabasco both broke bloodvessels during the running of the Jellicoe Handicap at Ellerslle. The bigger the Held the bigger the certainty! Punters would have nothing hut \Var Tank in a Held of 28 on Saturday before last, and the Elysian gelding won from end to end in hollow fashion. Crowtiurst was the unlucky one In the Liverpool Handicap, and after cutting down the leader, Canoznet, and stalling off Escaped he stumbled and let the last-named up to 'win by a neck. The promising Auckland lightweight jockey Downing, won two races In good style at Ellerslle, and each of his mounts, Fabrlquette and Elyan, returned their supporters a doublefigure dividend.

After the running of the Bracelet on Saturday "Stipe" Gordon hailed B. Brewer, the rider of Pablo, before the stewards for interference with Koura. Brewer was let down with tho same old caution:

Glenopai was saddled up for the Jelltcoe Handicap, but after doing her preliminary was found to have broken down badly, and the stewards allowed her to be withdrawn from the race.

Forest. Gold was a hot oTder in the Bracelet, and Jfent all but Ills stablemate, Lady Elstow, who had the race won four furlongs from home.

There was a great finish In the .Telllcoe Handicap. Meltchlkoff, Depredation and Paddington Green were flattering their backers at the turn, and then Waluta and Fabrlquette joined issue. In the run to the judge, Paddington Green weakened, but Shly heads separated Fabriquette, Waluta, Meltehikoff, and Depredation as they flashed past the post. No Surrender, who won the Hunt Cup at Elleralio in June, was again successful In the Pakuranga Hunt Cup on Saturday before last, and the manner In which he won both race* suggests that he is rather more than useful. He la a slx-year»old gelding by Sal* vadttn—*Viototina and is jointly owatd by

Messrs. J. Williamson and H. Dingle. Cymer, who came all tha way from GUborne to contest the Hunters' Hurdles, was wry unlucky to lose. Plve furlongs from home a pad jump turned a long lead Into a hopeless last, but he stuck to his task gamely, and got up to within a length of Dunrobln and Swatlska at the finish. Another "moral" beaten 1

"Paddy" Sva Is itlll plodding the hart luck trail. During the few weeks he has had tno hunter Swatlska he baa worked a wonderful improvement In the horse, and after Cymer's mishap Swatlska was sailing along In the front so gaily that It looked as If "Paddy's" fortune had turned. In the run home, however, Dunrobln prevailed by a neck. Alteration tailed off early In the .Telllcoe Handicap, but he was putting them in at the finish, and should strip a fitter horse at Avondale on Saturday. The complete defeat of the New Zealand cracks at Randwlck must have caused some sensation In Sydney, as it did In tho Dominion. On the top of their brilliant track form the debacle is almost as surprising as Auckland's "slatherlng-up" by Wellington on Wednesday last.

The two-year-old "parade" at Ellerslie saw sixteen juveniles saddled up, and In an Interesting flutter Jolly Prlnces3 (Prince Merrlwee—Jolle Fllle), got home half-a-length In front of Miss Muriel (Lucullus —Lady Bobs), and a black filly by Potoa—Latona. The Hallowmas—White Crane colt failed to show to advantage. The time registered was 40secs. The Australian-bred Some Boy (Cyrus—The Tart), is. entered for the principal handicap at Avondale under that name, but as there Is already a Home Boy (by Quianforte—Coronet mare) in New Zealand a new name should be selected for the Imported horse. While on the subject of duplication it might be mentioned that a Ridicule and an Arc Light have recently keen registered, though the present generation of sports will well remember horses bearing these names racing only a few years ago. Trainer George Price has his team at Wanganul Poking and going well. They are: Ermine ,Hurry Up, Nursing Slßter, Warplane, and a nice cut of a two-year-old. On present Torm Warplsne, Nursing Sister and Ermine should be hard to beat In anything they are started.

Royal Chef was schooled over the small fences recently at Wnvanul, but his showing was anything but gooo This disappointing customer might pay his way in sprints on the West Coast (5.1.), but he Is not much good in these parts.

Day Lad has been working :n sweaters recently at Rlccarton, and It looks as If an effait 's being made to get htm to the post for the New Zealand Cup. His appearatice In the Geraldlne Cup wilt be watched with Interest.

It seems quite a while since the Grand National meeting, yet Bon Rove, Parisian Diamond,- Pretty Bobby, Tlgerland, Red Cent, Athens 11., Potentiality, and Goldshlne only arrived home at the latter end of last week, while others are still knocking about Riccarton waiting for a steamer to take them back. Racing under present conditions Is 1 Vagabond, Caricature (Absurd Lady Cecelia), and Gasbag (Demosthenes—Lady Cecelia), have arrived In Auckland to meet engagements at the Avondale J.C. spring meeting.

First Blow, who cantered off with the Trial Plate at Dannevlrke, Is a three-year-old filly by Finland—War Talk, and therefore a fullslater to thou fine performers Estland and Flnmark. She shows the family trait for galloping. The other day the writer came across ail Instance of a bookmaker trying to "scale" punters over The Speaker's dividend at. Dnnnevirke. The Bar Von evidently decided that the price paid was too hot, and he reduced Üby a modest quldlei. TWB Is one of the frauds made possible by a goo<ly-f»oody JrnrHament forbidding the publication of iotallaator dlvldands.

Haeremoana was In the boom for the Trial Stakes, at Dannevlrke, but backers of the fashionably bred daughter of Antagonist and Tanglmoana had their hopes frustrated by an even better bred one In tho shape of First Blow. Haeremoana's backers had to put up with a very short prlee for second. Trainer Loomb has been giving the critics something to go on with regarding ths aspersions cast on Cynic. We are told that the Imported horse's alleged lameness was all moonshine. That It Is only his peculiar walk I And as for being a sour-tempered brute, why, Cynic Is the best-tempered angel his stable ever sheltered! The critics will now realise the significance of the name "Cynic." When things are slow In the sporting world it is wonderful what Items crawl Into the sporting columns. A Wangangul Chronicle writer gravely Informed his readers the other day that Stetson's owner returned home after seeing the horse run at Waverley. It is just as well to mention things like this, because some innocent people might imagine Mr. Galsford was still camped on tho WaverIcy coursol And a Dunedln scribe fills us with anguish at the news of Mr. So-and-so, owner of Such-and-such, having the misfortune to squeeze two of his fingers in a door. Whether the mishap will upset Such-and-such's New Zealand Cup prospects remains to be seen. Some day wo will be horror-stricken at the Intelligence that Mrs. Blinks, whose daughter washes the "duds" of Mr. Blanks, owner of Strlnglialt, sat upon a rusty hatpin and bad her tranaformatlon misplaced I If the present railways restrictions continue those owners who are at present hanging off, will require to Join the ever-increasing band of "walkers" in order to make their horses pay their way, and concerning these "treks" a Chrlstchurch scribe reckons that one of those fine mornings you will see a string of "thirty or forty horaea, with an army of attendants, and a number of feed waggons' all on the trial. Add a few tents and a brass band, and the outfit will resemble Barton's Circus on toilr.

Not far from Bulls, a new chum ownertrainer put In an appesrance one recent morning with a lean, half fed, slab-sided prad, art stated his Intention of giving the equine a winding-up gallop In view of taking on the hotstuff at Wanganul and other meetings. There were three watches on tbe performance and they all agreed. "What did he do the four furlongs In?" asked the proud owner. "Sixty-eight," was the reply. "Good," said the owner, "I knew he was a champion I" VMoturoa" may not be able to pTck winners, but he can tell you one horse that it would be just as well to leave severely alone!
