RACING IN AUSTRALIA. NOTES FROM CAULFIELD. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 17, 9.40 p.m. Melbourne, Oct. 17. J. Killorn will ride Vodka and H. Jones Beeline in the Caulfield Cup. E. O’Sullivan will ride The Cypher to-day in the Herbert Power Stakes. Eurythmic and Tangalooma went well at Mentone to-day and covered three furlongs on the grass in 39 sec. Basella has arrived and looks well. TRENTHAM TRAINING NOTES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Oct. 17. At Trentham this imorning most of the work was done on the tan track. Capping Day ran six furlongs in Imin. 20sec. Insurrection, assisted by Blue Socks, covered a inlle in Imin. 47sec. Princess Pat was in front of Canyon at the end of seven furlongs, which took Imin. 34sec. Gloaming hit out well in a mile gallop at a strong three-quarter pace. Dainty Step was better than Halifax at the end of a mile in 1 min. 54 sec. Scion went well in a seven furlong go with Royal Box, taking Imin. 33sec. Astinome and Printemps were together at the end of five furlongs in Imin. 6 3-ssec. Naiboughal and Roseworthy ran the same distance in slightly faster time. TURF TOPICS. (By “Moturoa.”) ) Wellington heats on Saturday. Going to Waverley on Monday next? Gasbag will be “hard” in the Wellington Handicap. Glentruin appears to have a rough chance in The Shorts. Merry Day (Merry Moment—Labor Day) is a rattling good mare. Hawera sports are saving up to be on Inah at Waverley. Old Mattock is going well, and will beat more than beat him at Trentham. They backed The Linnet on Saturday, but Lady Fingers, a half-sister to Sir Wai, upset the pot. Projector pulls so hard in his races that he , will never win over a distance. Try him in “a six,” Jack! Uleaborg (Egypt—Finery) has cost punters a heap of coin lately, and most missed the great “div.” he paid at Masterton. Zouave was an odds-on order each day at Masterton, and won very easily. A rise of 15 lb made no difference on Saturday. Handicapper Coyle asked Mark Time to give weight to horses like Eerie and Kareao in the Waverley Cup, but the nag's owner didn’t appreciate the flattery. First prize in “Tatt's” sweep on the Randwick Spring Handicap came to Napier, and the £4600 will either “make” or “break” a party in that village. Gazeworthy, by Roseworthy—Gaze, winner of the Trial at Masterton, claims the same sire as the famous Rostrum (winner of the Epsom and Newmarket Handicaps), and the easy manner in which she won her race stamps her as an exceptional filly. One good judge informed the writer that Gazeworthy was a Stewards' Handicap horse.

A Taranaki sport who attended the Masterton races informed the writer that the only difference between that “dry” district and Taranaki is that six o'clock closing has not arrived in Masterton! Sydney papers are full of "square off” pars regarding Beauford’s poor showing against Gloaming in the Craven Plate. The Newcastle horse, we are told, did not look bright. He was tucked up, dull, listless, and the rest. According to the photos of the finish he was worse than that; in fact, he was “beggared.” Ambitious (Absurd —Ursula) is winning a lot of money for her owner-trainer, H. E. Connop, of Woodville. Connop was a great horseman over sticks in his palmy days, and evidently understands the art of turning out good winners. Now that Royal Box has struck form he will be more than ever talked of In connection with the New Zealand Cup. His dam, Brayton, has so far failed to produce a genuine stayer, Bonnetter being the best. Ornithologists, who have puzzled their brains as to when the moa became extinct, need worry no longer. “The Moa” (Boniform —Lady Stewart) succumbed to an attack of hemorrhage of the lungs last week. At least one student of racehorse nomenclature was prepared to suffer the trials, tribulations and disappointments of the racing game. That was the person who named “Patience,” an unsuccessful runner at Whangarel on Thursday. Tlie owner of Sweet Memory went away with unpleasant recollections of Kurow, when his unfortunate mare won but was outed for a few ounces short weight. Two sports owned a neddy in partnership, one being as close as an oyster and the other so “windy” that you had to hold your hat .m while he was singing the praises of the prad. “You’re a mug,” walled the oyster, ‘‘putting ’em all in. We won’t get back any sort of a price at all!” “Dicken I” said the windy one; “they’ll all be ‘on’ the wrong day, my lad! Just you leave it to me!” Trainer R. Mason’s trip to ’Stralia added £3635 to Mr. G. D. Greenwood’s banking account —the result of the efforts of Gloaming and Tressayr. A Sydney writer states that Cupidon did not get a good passage in the Metropolitan Handicap, in which he finished seventh, and opines that the New Zealander will give a good account of himself in the New Zealand Cup with 8.10. Molyneaux finished fourth in the Metropolitan Handicap after being stopped at the home turn, and Sydney papers pick the New Zealander to run well in next Saturday’s Caulfield Cup. At latest advices Stare is a hot favorite, with Violoncello, Tangalooma and Molyneaux next best backed. On recent form Stare (Earlston —Gaze) looks unbeatable. By the way, Gazeworthy is a half-sister to Stare. David’s easy win in the Randwick Plate has made him a distinct favorite for the Melbourne Cup. Wirraway comes next, followed by Honey Bee, Purser, Prince Charles, Keneppil, Statton and The Cypher. Molyneaux, who is not considered a two-miler, stands at a fairly-long There were some amusing happenings at .Masterton last week. One owner withdrew his horse a couple of days before the meeting on account of the hardness of the tracks. Then the rain came down in torrents! Another allowed his horse to run unbacked—though else backed it heavily, by the look of the tote—and the prad strolled in! Still another owner expressed himself as “clean disgusted” with the weight apportioned his Carbine on the second day; ordered a box for the horse's return; and then switched round and backed the horse quietly, only to see it run like a goat. It’s a great game, isn’t it? Walter Raynor took Thespian, Listowol, Homage and Deluge to Wellington yesterday. Thespian has been galloping in great style, and Deluge is considered to be a crackerjack two-year-old. We will see about the latter statement in the Wellesley Stakes.
