Cliristclmrcli, Oct. 21. Radial has been scratched for the New Zealand Cup. Christehurch, Last Night. Snub and Raccful were scratched for all engagements at the C..1.C. meeting, at 12.15 to-day.

TURF TOPICS. (By "Moturoa.") Wellington races on Saturday. Waverley, at Wanganui, on Holiday. liationai Pitid a Desert Gold price at .Masterton. Mermin looks to carry tie goods in the Welleslcy Stakes. Riddiford's thousand pounder, Wheatfleld, will be produced at Trentham. Dunediti, who has grown into a flue tliree-ycar-oid, easily won a double for W. R Kemball at Masterton.

If (iladful liad won the Second Jumpers' rial at Maslerton, he would have only returned beer money, but Mattock beat him pointless.

After Mattock's showing at Marlon, Wanganui and Masterton. people are wondering how he can get backed at the Waverley meeting.

Considering tie decisive way in which Lucullan stoushed Miss Gold on Thursday, lie paid a great price in vho Totalisator Hackon the second day.

Aureate, the two-year-old sister to Desert Gold, showed poor form at Masterton, but she lias not been in work long, and may do better In the autumn.

After many disappointments, Paoirai rewarded her party with a cood win and a handsome dividend in the Paddock Handicap. The runner-up, Little Kivcr, was backed dmvn to evens.

Lucullan lias been scratched for the C.J c. Stewards Hivnd'oan, and will probably be reserved for. weight-for-age races this season. He will to sent North for the Guineas at Ellerslic.

Alf. Trlcklebanlc made' his reappearance in the saddle at Masterton, on Saturday, and started with a winner, Mattock. Mr. Caisforrt's gelding will he ridden by Allan .McDonald at Wangamti, Tricklebank being engaged for Whizz Bang. Talk about consistency! Mr. L. jr. Isitt states that he considers himself perfectly Justified in stone-walling Mr. Geo. Itunter's Gaming Act Amendment, although the House showed a 2 to l majority in its favour. Yet Mr. Isitt considers that his own pet fancy, i'rnhiMtion, should come into force on a bare majority I

Amongst the maidens running at Masterion was the atrociously named Manguwnod, by Wp.liw.ngu—Lone-wood. Another bore a name familiar fa trotting circles, Sir Huon. Quite the liest effort In nnmeculture was Grotesque (Absurd—Bronzo). A strango coincidence about the Masterton fup is that the brothers. George, Charlie and Bill Price, have each ridden two winners of tl e race, which only tlatfs from 1897. When the Kemball bracket. Dunedin and Vasilkov, finished first and second in the final Handicap, they returned their army or supporters a tt odds jm dividend. In fact, if Vasilkov had becnWeaton for second place, Dunedin would have only returned a couple of shillings in tho pound (profit) for winning.

A couple of Xmv Zealand owned horses that were dropped prolhiibly in. Svdnev recently were Dewdrop (The Wellrin—Carisslma), win was sold privately for 700 pis., and Te Miro (Spalpeen—Bell Crispin), who brought 300 gits, at auction.

The Southland sportsman Mr. 11, McDonald recently purchased the Winter Cup winner Kiliowen for £BOO, and was promptly rewarded with a win on the second day at Dunedin. Apart from that Kiliowen is a fine horse, and a bargain at the price. Alteration started favourite In the Whangarci Cup, and his complete failure does not enhance his prospects at Wanganui next week. Possibly Depredation may prove the . better, of the two local horses engaged in the Waver* ley Cup.

Kurythmic who started favourite in ilie Caulflcld Cup and won easily, has beon unbeaten in his last ten starts, which included a dead heat in liie. Perth Pup Eurytiimic was voted a racecourse, certainly for the Caulfleld. Even the turf tipsters of the sporting papers pitted liml

I'eitre! was responsible for a tremendous gallop when he, won the Rsmdwick Plate, two miles, in 3 2",%, heating Trafalgar's time (.'1.27) for -the race. Poitrcl van "the last mile, in "30." and the last four furlongs in 48% sees, Poltrel has won ten w.f.a. races, and scored a deadliest for first and a second. In addition ho has gathered In four handicaps, r.nd his total stake winnings run to £18,987 las.

What sort of a win was it for the WhanKarei Cilib to hold its race nicotine at Avondale? Attendances jumped from hundreds to thousands, and totalisator figures rather more than multiplied themselves by four. It is ouite on the cards now lhat all the little baclrlilocVs "rubby-dub-dubs" will demand to race at Hlerslic this year.

The ex-N'cw Zealarider, Mr. E. J. Wait, topped -winning owners at the ltandwick ■sprint' meeting, Pershove (All Black—Perseis) taking £SISI, Aeon (Wolawa—Eona) Sisti, and Llanilly (Wolawa—Llanisheeni £i:,(l.

Aeon was sent out a hot favourite in etc C.lmcrack Stakes, but began badly, and had to make up a lot of ground to get third money. Her dam, Eona, was got by Birkenhead, and won the Hastings stakes and other Bond races for (he Squire of Karamti. For winning the Rsnfurly Handicap at Dunedin Amytlias has earned a Tibs penalty In the Wallingtoti Handicap, which hoists his weight to 10 8., all the same it Is quite likely that he will be a runner, as lie needs all tho racing he can get to fit him for the Champion Plate at Trcntham, and other classics at Itlecarton nest month. Tile Dunedin Cuineas is another classic race that Sir George Clifford appears to have a mortgage over. Ho won with first Flight In 1014, Long Range 1918, Roval Staff 1910, And iflta Winter Wind lut w»»k.
