TURF TOPICS. (By "Mbturoa.") Trentham to-day. Waverley on Monday. N.Z. Cup to-day fortnight. Enduro is now trained at Riccarton. King Lupin will be at the services of Walkato breeders this season. Maniahera jumps well, and should show up strongly at TrenthMi. Glen Canny is now a scalding hot order for the New Zealand Cup. Before leaving home Arrowsmitt ran six furlongs In 1.13—a great trial. Big money has been wagered over the meeting between Mennln and Rational at Trentham. The former carries our coin. Ashley Reed, with three wins, was the most successful r'.der at Masterton. J. O'Shea, M. MeCarten and L. Morris each bagged a brace

Although represented by over a dozen horses Mr. W. It. Keniball only won three races at the Masterton meeting. Stake winnings amounted to £640. .Mattock's three starts ttis season have resulted in two firsts and a neck defeat. He schooled nicely at Bulls on Thursday morning, and will be taken to Wanganul to-day. Down that way they label him "unbeatable." General entries for the Auckland B.C. spring meeting include: Esthonla, Spanner, Income Inah, Hori, Avanti, Gunwale,' Camp Guard, Argo, Rational, Prod'ea), Avnncer, and Maropa.

Volo has been paid up fur In Hie MltcV.leson Cup, and should jro well with 9.2. If Royal Abbey has come on the right way he will take a lot of beating with 7.11. The Shorts Handicap at Trentham will tolte some nicking, though track form points to Arrowsmlth, Surveyor, and Solftmollo stripping as nt as anyding engaged In the race. If Wen Canny is the wonder Auckland enthualnls state, ho will keep Amythas, Karo and Kilrush doing tholr best from end to end. He looks very well.

Warrawee was oft color at the Wanganui meeting, hut he lias now freshened up considerably, and should keen Bitters and Isabel Jogging along at the end of the Itlmutaka Handicap at Trenthnm.

Winners at Masterton and at Duncdln will bo required to put up 711) penalties at Trent - ham to-day. Horses affected include AmyUrns, Malaya, Bitters, Ngata, Ambcrine. and Solfanello.

Eurythmlc is now a firm favorite for the Melbourne Cup, with Poltrel, Red Cardinal, Drumorn. and Daarewlii neit in demand. On his brilliant Caulfleld Cup showing Eurythmlc should he very hard to beat at Flcmington. Sporting intelligence, as dished out by Wellington scribes: (1) "The new (laming Act, which is now in operation, is having a. deterrent effect on the booUmatting business, and a number of well-known 'woolbrokers' are seeking fresh fields and pastures new. The vocation of bookmaker Is certainly a hazardous one to follow since the enforcement of the Act in question." (2) "The bookmakers are tailing their cards as usual, and displaying no trepidation in connection with the new gaming law. Doubles, straight-out wagers, and totallsator odds can be obtained just as easily as they could before Parliament agitated Itself about the matter. The publle is still waiting to see what the police authorities are going to do. If they do nothing all the reforming zeal of ihe Racing Conference will have been wasted."
