By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Melbourne, June 22. Silent Way has been scratched for the National Hurdles. TURF TOPICS. j (By “Moturoa.”) Races at Hastings to-day. Powder King has run out of hacks. Rangitikei Hunt weights are due on Friday. Maniahera is said to be training on nicely at Awapuni. The Dannevlrke Hunt Club meeting takes place on Wednesday next. Stetson has fined down a lot, and should soon be ready for racing. Mr. E. W. Alison junr. has retained Con. Reed for next season's riding. In Palmerston yesterday the dogs were barking Foeman for the Hawke's Ray Steeples. Endure is being schooled over the big fences at Riccarton, and shapes well for a new chum. Les.

Sea De’il, who won £l2OO In stakes at the Great Northern meeting, qpce changed hands for a tenner 1 Master Strowan’s brother, Rowan, is said to show some pace, and should win races next season. The complete lists of entries for the big Sydney and Melbouorne handicaps contain the following New Zealanders:—Duo, Delight, Kick Off, Lord Martian, Big Chief, and AthParisian Diamond cut a poor figure as a hurdler at Greenmeadows, knocking the fences to pieces, and eventually falling. He wants more schooling before he will be safe to punt on. Signysian and Merryowen are. a class above the hunters on the East Coast this season, and both should win good money this winter. Of the pair Merryowen is the better stayer. When owner-trainer J. Booth landed the Brisbane "double” with Impeyan and Syceonelle, he won, in addition to about £3OOO in stakes, a nice wager £3OOO to £2l as well. Such a thing would not be possible in this totalisator ridden country. The. New Zealand Sapling Stakes, run at the Ashburton T.C. meeting last week, provided a remarkable finish, Latona getting up in the last few strides to win by a head from Betrayer, who was a neck in front of the favorite. Grade Thorpe. Insurrection (Kilbroney- Ruthful) was a runner in the Sandringham Handicap, one mile and a quarter, at *the V.R.C.

The outsiders booked are; Straga, Salute, Tresslda, Makepeace, Chuckle and Star Glow. The Australian horseman F. Bullock, who recently won the French Oaks on Donizade, is no stranger to the land of "parlez-vous."
