AUCKLAND SCRATCHINGS.

Auckland. Yesterday. Mr. W. G. Stead withdrew all his horses. Including Surveyor, from the A.R.C summer meeting at 10.20 a.m.

TURF TOPICS.

(By "Moturoa.") Methven races on Thursday. Manawatu weights are due to-day. Stratford entries closo on Wednsdav, at P p.m. Combustion went, lame last week, and could not start at Felldlng. Acre got a "fly" in the Felldlng Stakes, and C. Price took every advantago of It. I It Is reported that the price paid by Mr. G. L. Stead for Right and Left was In the vicinity Of 8000 guineas. Te'ssares was unlucky at the barrier on Saturday, but was going faster than anything at tho finish of the Felldlng Stakes. Yankee Jack had every chance to win the Spring Hurdles at Felldlng, and flattered his supporters to the home bend, where he faded out of the picture. The eleventh hour withdrawal of Dusky Ere from the St. Andrew's Handicap was a "facer" for double bettors. It was rumoured that Gray would ride the Wanganul Cup winner, ond the prad was coupled with almost everything In the Flying. They made no secret of »he fact that Aiimvra was "apple pie" at Feilding, and she touched a short price. When given her head in the straight she easily silenced the opposition Those who are rushing Inah for the A.RC. Railway Handicap may be a bit too previous. Mr. Spratt has not decided on the trip yet, but Friday's acceptances may solve the problem definitely. Gay Lad Is to take up stud duties risht away. It will be remembered that he did a light stud season last year, and his half-dozen foals are said to bo good lookers. A well-known Wanganul punter invested £ls nn the machine on Lepanto at. Ashlrarst, but the good thing missed. Just Imagine his feelings when he saw the mokel stroll home at Felldlng, and pay upwards of half-a-ceatury. He didn't follow It up I It Is surprising tho ignorance of some horse owners. Mr F. D. Ormond's two-year-old Woden (Hymettus—Freya), was sent out to contest tho Aorangi Plate (5% furlongs), on Saturday, but was returned to the birdcage as non-eligible to start. Mr. Ormond dirt not n-en know that Rule 3, Part II), of the Rules of Racing distinctly state that two-year-olds shall not race over distances beyond five furlongs prior to Decomber Ist. Totallsator Investments were re'ivmed. I'simpflro received another boost when Lnnnnfo (Cnmjiflre—Apresl. won tho Waittma find: Htmltcs in'easy fashion at Feilding. Another of the Carlilne horse's progeny, Klckapoo, gained third monev In the Aorangi Plate. Snub finished in great style In tho St. Andrew's Handicap, and his told showing should cause him to come into favor for the distance handicaps to be decided at Ellerslle this month. Wanganul Bar Vons had another gruelling lime on Saturday. Punters began tradlv with Festival, who should have won the Aornnsl Plate, but was left badly, and then gained second berth. Whlro (second) helped punters a little, and after that Jutland. Acre. Roso Queen, and Admyra were all heavily backed, and the great prices returned by the quartette of winners came as a pleasant surprise to the successful ones. "Laying 'cm" Is not the game It Is cracked up to no at the present time.
