At the Dlood sto"ok Bales, Afterglow and Karo were passed at 1000 and 375 guineas, respectively. TURF TOPICS. Concluding day at Duneciln. Masterton races on Thursday. On recent form Hindi is a rotter. Old Combustion broke it for a win at Horowhenita. ... Weights for the Mltchelson Cup should appear on Monday. The New Zealand Cup favorite. Gay Lad, Is still being kept in cotton wool. Rowley Hatch has joined the ranks of the trainers, and has taken Alf. Shearsby's stables. The Demosthenes breed are winning every-. where, and Delight showed the Australian two-year-olds how to gallop in the Breeders' Plate on Wednesday. Gloaming's easy victory over Wolaroi and Co. In the Craven Plate sets one wondering how Poitrel came to beat him in the Spring Stakes on Saturday. : Napier. Park form was a poor guide for probable winners at Hastings, but the alldiscerning public sorted them out just the Perfect summary weather favored the Horowhenua meeting on Wednesday, and though- the fields were small, racing was first-class right through. The Te Awamutu Trotting Club will hold Its Inaugural meeting to-day, and all sports will'wish the new club a successful push off. Humbug, by Absurd—Eulogy, appears to be easily the best of the two-year-olds seen out up to the present time. He Is not engaged in the Wellesley Stakes, but is in the C.J.C. Welcome Stakes. He will be tried out thoroughly in the latter event. Dusky Eve was one of the noticeable absentees from (be New Zealand Cup nominations, but the Wanganul Cub winner has been entdreM lor Kha lojng distance evealts at BUerslie. Judging by his close second to Tlgrttlya In the Gienaray Handicap'at Hastings, he Is in a-forward condition for spring racing. AH Over reads well in the Waverley Cun with 8.10, though Sea Sprite, who runs on well at the end of her races, may have to be reckoned with at 8.1, if reserved for the race. .. _ , , Zola's soreness was not a serious affair, ana r If the tracks keep soft, he will race at Waverley. Under favorable conditiSns, the hurdle race looks a jog for him with 11.13. Jutland, 8.1. is likely to be one of the popular selections for the Brewer Handicap. Croesus and Inah might be his toughest opponents on the day. «, Nemaline and Farce aTe nicely weighted in the Flying at Waverley, and it would take a lot of weight to stop Sea Sprite in the Moumahakf Stakes, and Ruddy In the Jackson Stakes. They are a class above the hacks they are set to meet, and their lmposte are not prohibitive considering the minimum weights In the two events. Last year Kilmoon returned from Australia In time to win the Wellington Handicap, and It looks as if Rossini has been given an Inv'tatlon to repeat the feat at this spring meeting. „ „, . , The Shorts Handicap at Trenthnm will take ' some picking. If Affectation takes it on, ■> with 8.8 he must run well. Astlnome and I • Tlgrltya are also in pretty well. Humbug Is given the steadier of 9.5 In the s Talta Handicap, but Caricature (7.13) . will | only have to hop out with him to keep the tnp-weight very busy. .Wajltke, Gay Lad, Sir Fanciful, andMirsing ', Sister promise to command support if saddled up for the minor events at Trenthnm. The newlv-formed Hawke's Bay Tjortlsg Club evidently has the right men behind it, for already 250 members have been gathered In The club Is now selecting a prpperty 8 to" lay down an up-to-date trotting track. ■I Trotting is. going to boom in the North Island sure enough. Down in Wanganul, they are still laughing at a joke put on to the railway department „ during the recent stoppage of the carriage nt* racehorses. An aged gelding was railed through to the meeting labelled "brood mare, and the feasou given for travelling was ''visitr \ne Gulantdrte" Next! Cora Queen broke it for a win at Horoh whenua-her one and only flwt-but the nub- * lie made her favorite In a field of ha f-a-A*va>'- Pa etbM Bvi ww» mkm tittuf

last season or this, which mates the backing of Coral Queen look as If "Information," and cot "form" Is the, secret of success. Denudes, Olynthtis and Samarang were three cf Demosthenes' get to win races at Horo■whemia. Prlntemps, who prevailed In the Levin Handicap, is one of the few Gboorkas to get amongst the winners. The A.J.C. Spring meeting -will te concluded at Randwlck to-day. Afterglow figures ii tha Waverley Handicap, 1% miles; Ros3lni, Lady Ball, Golden Bubble, and Surveyor In the Grantham Stakes, 1 mile; Gloaming, Afterglow, Surveyor, and Golden Bubble In the Randwlck Plate,: 2 miles; and Afterglow, Karo, Spanner, and Taunaha, in the Final Handicap 1% mile. Whether mny of the New Zealanders will be saddled up to-day Is doubtful, but Sasanof will be produced at the V.A.T.C. meeting, which opens to-day. The Caulfleld Cup is the principal event to be decided at the latter gathering.
