A JOCKEY’S FEES. RIGHTS OF THE ASSOCIATION. TEST IN SUPREME COURT. Auckland, Last Night. An appeal by the New Zealand Jockeys’ Association against the decision _,of Mr. J. E. Wilson, S.M., in its claim against George Young, a jockey, for £4l in membership fees was heard by Mr. Justice Herdman in the Supreme Court to-day. It was stated the magistrate dismissed’ the claim on the ground that as defendant was a minor, the only contracts enforceable against hint were for necessaries, and membership of the plaintiff association was not necessary to him. Argument ensued as to whether a contract benefited a minor. Counsel for respondent said the rule providing for the payment of 5 per cent, on riding fees was a penalty, because the * more successful a jockey was the worse off he was financially. His Honor asked what the obligations of the association were. Counsel replied that there were none. There were only a number of pious objects, which if achieved, would result in a kind of utopia. Counsel for the association said the objects must be read as a contract, and members had a legal remedy in case of no attempt being made to carry them out. He denied that the scale of contribution was a penalty, saying a jockey contributed according to his earnings. His Honor (smiling) That is not taking Into consideration what he got. from bookmakers. Judgment was reserved. WHICH IS THE BETTER? BEAUFORD OR GLOAMING. I A MEETING PROBABLE. By Assn.—Copyright. Received April 28. 7.15 p.m. Sydney, April 28. The newspaper Arrow’s turf critic, commenting on Beauford’s recent victories, says: "One thing is certain, and that is that there is only one horse in Australia or New Zealand that, can be considered to have the slightest chance against him up to one mate and a half, and that is Gloaming.” Discussing th e possibilities of Gloaming coming to Australia to meet Beauford next spring, the critic declares it is certain Beauford will be favorite. After the exhibition he made of Eurythmic the crowd would not back anything else, despite Gloaming’s reputation. Gloaming would certainly test Beauford, but i't must not be overlooked that Gloaming is getting old, while probably Beauford will be in better form in the spring. In that case it will probably be the Beau-ford-Eurythmic battle repeated.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

SALE OF A RACEHORSE. Received April 28, 7.15 pan. Sydney, April 28. Mr. J. Rutherford has purchased the racehorse Kashmir for 950 guineas. TURF TOPICS. (By “Moturoa.”) Concluding day at Timaru. Marlborough on Friday and Saturday. Egmont acceptances on Friday next. Anomaly returned a false “price” at Hastings. Surveyor has bid adieu to the turf, and will take up stud duties at Mofitt Island next season. That good back Dissertation returned something in the region of a quarter of a century when she won the Hawke’s Bay Cup. Moorland has run his last race this season, and when he next sports silk will race as a gelding. Golden Morn, who beat Leithfield at Hokitika, is one of the oldest mares racing successfully at present.. She has “struck twelve.” Tte Guianforte breed were well to the fore whene Income and Perfect Day arrived home first and second respectively in the big race at Avondale. “Perc.” Johnson is reported to be progressing as well as Is possible with a broken, leg. Rumor has ’/ that the pain “went right away” when news arrived that Income had landed at Avondale. After the hullabaloo kicked up in the Press recently, it is not. surprising to hear that the racecourse 'tees (beg pardon, inspectors) have been “chatted” that they are to use discretion iu administering the regulations. Whanoko, an aged gelding by Marshal Soul't, was a stron'g tip at Feilding, but let his backers down badly. In a weaker field at Hastings on Wednesday Whanoko managed to win, but most of “the heads” missed him. They were all in on Thursday. Tte Great Autumn winner, Bonnie Winkle, cost 140 guineas as a foal, and has won a ton of money this season. He is now spelling, but will probably be taken up again in June, in preparation for the New Zealand Cup. ' “Tommy” Coleman took Some Red to Waipukurau, and though he didn't win a race, two healthy second dividends rewarded the Maftbn trahi“ p - Some Red was only just

beaten each start, and is a fair sprinter on top of the ground. The Sydney Referee offered a prize of £2OO to the person (or persons) who could name the placed horses in the recent Sydney Cup, but not one of the 42,767 tipsters succeeded. A consolation “tenner” was awarded to the party who picked the placed three—but nof in the right order. Being boomed at present—a gambling game called “Put aaid Take.” The writer hastens to assure our religious readers that the game has no connect ion with horse racing. Tte latter pastime is practically all “Put”—with very little "Take.” Prince Charles, the recent Sydney Cup Winner, started at forlorn odds, and did not carry a penny of his owner’s coin—ail as the result of his wretched performance in the Local Handicap (in which he was favorite on the tote) the previous Saturday. It is a long time since one of “Mr. J. Baron’s” winner? paid such a price, and a stable that has sheltered such notable performers as Sir Foote, Prince Foote, Richmond Main, Pelaw Main, etc., should always be worthy of respect. An exchange suggests that the Big Ben in use at Tauherenikau required overhauling. Which reminds me:—The Maori time-keeper was looking puzzled, so a bystander asked what was the matter. “Py corry,” replied tte Maori, “I dunno. Te prurry watch, he won’t go.” He knocked it briskly on the lawn fence several times, and placed it to his ear. Evidently it was still "on strike,” for he uttered more language, and, producing a big pig-sticker, proceeded to prise off the back. From its “innards” there dropped a big flea. "Py corry,” said the Maori, "I tink Uat te prurry trubble. Te prurry engineer—he drop dead.” Eurythmic was not the only champion beaten in Sydney during the Easter carnival. The other was Precious Dust, the wonderful 14.2 pony, but even she was not disgraced. Loaded with tte steadier of 12st. 61b., she had to put up with second place in a field of thirteen, in which her opponents carried weights ranging from 9.5 to 7.1. The winner had to run Imin. ISsec. for the six furlongs to accomplish the champion’s, downfall: Egmont weights are now the principal topic. Marqueteur is weighted up to his best form with 9.13 in the Mcßae Memorial Handicap, and Income (9.1) is another well cared for. Tame Fox (8.11) is not overweighted, nor is Bonnetter (8.6). Punka appears to be a light of other days, and Festivity (8.1) may be the elect of Mr. W. Gaisford’s pair. Boomerdaj’ (7.12) and Manganaahoe (7.8) have been given every inducement to make the trip. Egmont Park (7.10) and Skylight (6.7) read best of tte others. Summed up, the issue appears to He between Boomerday, Tame Fox, and Manganiahoe. With Rational engaged In the Tonks Memorial Handicap, the handicapper did not have to cast round to sort out a top weight, and even with 9.9 the Absurd gelding must be given a great show. Irapuka has tis full load with 8.10, and the same applies to Awake (8.9). Birkie is well in wttn ’«.12, and others that catch the eye are Roman (7.4) and Kula (7.0). The steeplechase course at Hawera is usually a very simple one, and a smart hur~

I dler is quite capable of negotiating the country. With that Idea in mind the writer I passes over Onkleigl' (11.5), First Line ! (11.3), and Mattock (11.1), and “plumps” for ' Luperino (11.0). Mattock appears to be very harshly treated. Of those weighted below list. Khartoum (10.0), Te Toa (9.2), and i Rathlin (9.0) must all be given a chance. : Amongst the hacks in the minor steeplechase i Te Maire (11.5), Shell Shock (11.4), and Ta i Toa (10.10) please most. The hurdlers engaged at Hawera are a good lot, and in the Tongaloe Hurdles it only requires Alteration (10.11), Simonides (10.4), and Oimahu (}1.7) to go to the post to ensure spirited betting.. On paper Simonides appears to be very leniently treated. Big fields will face the starter in each of the hack flat races. Orchid (8.11) will tickle ’em up in the Telegraph Handicap, and Equitable (8.11) and Sussex (7.3) look nice in the Tawhiti Hack Handicap. There were four double-winners at Hastings this week. Gloaming earned easy money in the Hawke’s Bay Stakes and Ormond Memorial, equalling the time record for tte former race, and putting new figures on the slate for the mile race. Whanoko had two comfortable wins in the hurdle races, rtid Anomaly and Sunny Spec picked up a race each day. On Auckland form Grotesque was well treated in the. Burke Memorial Handicap at Hastings on Thursday, and with 8.9 ran the ten furlongs in 2min. 5 2-ssec.—a smart gallop. If he had started in the Hawke’s Bay I Cup it is only a shame wtat he would have i done with Dissertation.
