The Waimate Racing Club’s meeting will be held to-morrow. The Bay of Plenty and Oamaru Clubs will race on Saturday. The Wellington Trotting Club will conduct a programme on Saturday. Flying Prince and Principal Boy will be members of F. E. Loomb’s team racing at Tauranga on Saturday. •It was a confidence that Paitonu, the winner of the Thompson Handicap at Trentham and Quinsilia, who scored at Paeroa on Monday, should reach exactly the same figure in the return to their followers. G. A. Reid, of Te Aroha, is taking Terrapeen and Town Bird to the Bay of Plenty Club’s meeting on Saturday. Norval Tea, who is now trained at Ellerslie by J. Chisholm, showed plenty of early speed in her two races at Paeroa but, as usual, she failed to run the journeys right out. British King, who was started at Te Aroha and Ohinemuri meetings, never shaped like a winner in any of his four latest starts. The King Sol horse appears to have trained off slightly hut he should be handy again before long. Glenstar was a winner over hurdles at his fourth start. After running third on the first day at Paeroa the Day Comet gelding secured the verdict on Monday. Glenstar is by no means a finished jumper as yet but he will improve rapidly and promises to turn out a very payable proposition in this department. Grand Spirit was well fancied among the two-year-olds who raced at Paeroa, but "her best effort was to finish third on the first day. The Peach Brandy—Lady Bunyan filly lost ground out of the tapes on each occasion, but she was travelling very fast over the concluding stages of her races. It will not be long before she makes amends as she is useful.

Master Roley was making his first appearance after an interval of a couple of months when he was started in the hurdles on the first day at Paeroa. The Cynic gelding was never near the leaders after the first half mile. He was not produced on the second day.

Mauriaena won the Komata Handicap from end to' end at Paeroa on Saturday. The Lucullus—Wairarapa filly jumped away well from the rails and the fact that she had an uninterrupted run throughout v>as in he. Tavour. It may not be long before Mauriaena is heard from again.

Potoanui appeared for the crosscountry event on the concluding day of the Ohinemuri meeting. _ The p o t oa —Freebird gelding finished fourth. He did not jump 100 evenly at several of his fences but will improve in this respect when he is better seasoned.

Odin who appeared in the steeplechase events at the Ohinemuri meeting did not threaten real danger, although .he finished in third place at his second start. The Yalkyrian ,Koura gelding was in need ot the racing and with the opportunity he will have _ in the interval promises to he in good. order for the jumping events of the winter.

Star Comet did not display any marked dash in his hurdling efforts at the 'Ohinemuri meeting, although he ■was handy enough at the finish each time, reaching third place on Monday. When he gets on to a more roomy circuit Star Comet will do better.

Wild Time showed her best form of the season at Paeroa where she ran second in two-year-old company the first dav and dead-heated with Bells of Shandon for that place on Monday. The filly still runs about a bit in her laces, but she is getting over her greenness and will race in improved style from this out- ' •

BAY OF PLENTY CLUB. MEETING AT TAURANGA. TO BE HELD ON SATURDAY. The meeting for the attention of provincial racegoers on Saturday is the Bay of Plenty Club's annual gathering. This wii! bo hold at Tauranga. A special train will leave Frankton at 6.10 a.m. The fields for the coming occasion are very satisfactory and racing of a good standard Is promised. With favourable weather prevailing this East Coast Club is in line for the most successful fixture of Its career.

Taumai ran a good race over hurdles on the first day at Paeroa to beat all but Daylight. The St. Amans gelding was looking all over a winner when he ran up to the lead with a little over half a mile lo go on Monday, but the strange thing happened that in-going to Die fence on the back stretch he jumped the inside rail of the course and fell. Taumai was lame when he came in.

King Willonyx, who met with success on the North Auckland circuit last month, carried good support in highweighl company at. Paeroa. The Prince Willonyx—Polydia gelding was close up to Ihe placed horses each time, but lie appeared to he troubled in holding on to the good pace set.

'Standfast, who had been spelling for some time at Hinuera, is now being trained by R. J. Mateer at Mala • mata. In finishing in fifth place m the Waikino Highweight Handicap ai Paeroa on Monday, the Yalkyrhm Unity gelding indicated I hat it will not be long before he will require h> be seriously reckoned with.

Principal, on the strength of good track work at Takanini last week, was made favourite for the Novice Handicap at Paeroa on Saturday The Thespian—-Royal Exchange four-year-old gelding, who carries the colours of Ihe Auckland sportsman, Mr T. Impey, was decisively beaten into second place by Chromadyne, but lie would have troubled the latter... more but for his failure lo begin well. On this showing Principal should not he long in winning a race.

Hunting Day, who won the Railway Handicap at Trentham on Saturday, has been a highly-strung sort since he had such hard races behind Supremacy in the Avondale Stakes and A.R.G- Welcome Slakes last season. For this reason he was not raced as a three-year-old till late in November. Since then he has won five out of his six races. He is a brilliant galloper who looks certain, lo win many more races. He cost 200 guineas as a yearling.

Desert Glow, who has had a good innings on Ihe Paeroa course, gave further support to the claim at the recent meeting, when he won the Ohinemuri Cup Handicap and finished third in the Shaw Memorial Handicap, the leading event of the concluding day. Desert Glow was all out lo get the honours in a great finish to Ihe leading event. His recent form shows that the Day Comet —Lady Winsome gelding will warrant keeping under notice, as long as lae gels the galloping surface firm.

Daylight, the winner of the hurdles on the opening day of the Ohinemuri meeting, scored very easily, leading throughout, the mile and a half. The Dav Gomel —Cuiragnes gelding had only two prior starts over the battens. The local trainer, A. Jackson, is due a lot of credit for Ihe proficiency he iias brought Daylight lo as a jumper inside a brief, period and with ordinary luck Ids charge is likely to go on to better deeds.

Royal D out ton has finished second in her last three starts, beaten by a narrow margin on each occasion. On the concluding day at Te Aroha, Eager Rose headed her at the finish of Iho President's Handicap; Hyde Park took her measure in the . Franklin Handicap at Pukekohe, while Desert Glow was her conqueror in the Ohinemuri Cup. Royal Doulton lias carried good weights eacli time and her prominent displays indicate that she is near the peak of her form.

Maori Boy failed to run on in his races at Te Aroha, but he showed improved form at Paeroa at the week-end in finishing third in the Cup and accounting for all but Sir Russell in the leading event on the concluding dav The small sized fields appeared to'suit Maori Boy, who ran his journeys out solidly on each occasion.

Mashoor was sent out favourite for the Steeplechase at Paeroa on Saturday. The Lucullus gelding went a good race and, in a great finish with Glcnotus was beaten by half a head. Mashoor’s prospects in his start on the second day were settled early on in the race through his rider losing an iron and Mashoor was pulled up.

Awamutu was left at the post in the Komata Handicap on the first day at Paeroa. The King Lupin—Queen Ripple gelding was sent out favourite for the"Waikino Ilighweighl Handicap on the second day. On that occasion.he moved promptly from the barrier, but after making practically all the running was unable to stall off Owairaka in the final stages of that seven furlong trip. Awamutu s supporters did not lose anything, neither did they show a gam.

Volimond made a bold bid for the honours in the Komata Handicap, her only start at the Ohinemuri meeting. The Limond—' Tivoli filly was soon prominent in the running but she found the task of carrying 9.0 lrom end to end of the seven furlongs a shade bevond her and she had to he content with fourth place. Volimond has raced well in her few starts since New Year and this speedy galloper is becoming solid.

Leitrim ran good races in sprint company at the Ohinemuri meeting, but- he found his big weights telling at the close of the two six turlong tpi p S In the St. Patrick’s Handicap, on Hie first day, in which he was fourth, the Yalkyrian—lliapuna geldimr was right in the firing hue at the finish Onlv heads separated Hie first four horses. Next time out, in the Paeroa Handicap, :ie vent one bettei when heads again separated the leaders-

St. Warrigal was having liis first start in a steeplechase when ho contested the cross-country event at Paeroa on Monday. Although the St. Amans gelding failed to get round he showed plenty of speed and jumped fairly well up fill the lime he made Ids fatal error. SI. Warrigal, who is a

good type for the business, promises to come right with experience.

Lady’s Boy was produced at the Ohinemuri meeting but was well back at the finish in each of his two starts. The Some Roy it —Lady Poloa gelding, who had not had a race for some time, was above himself in condition. His latest outings will benefit him and if produced at Te Rapa next month, Lady’s Boy will he in a position to run'belter. Hard tracks are not to his best liking.

Awarere caine back to form at the Ohinemuri meeting where he won the sprint event on Saturday and beat all but Branson in similar company on Monday, carrying 8.4 and 8.12 respectively. The Swift Flight—Sibford gelding was prominent from barrier rise on each occasion and was well’ handled by the stable apprentice J. Day. The recent lay off from racing' to which Awarere was subjected proved beneficial. His supporters got a useful return on both occasions at Paeroa.

Ah Wera made his debut as a crosscountry performer at the uhinemuri meeting. In his only start there he finished third to Glenolus and Mashoor. The initial effort in the division by the St. Amans gelding was very promising and this member of li. A. Reid's team at Te Aroha is likely to he useful with some further experience in the department.

Branson registered his first success of the season when lie led.the sprinters home at Paeroa on Monday. The Greyspear—Garslon gelding was lucky in gelling a run on the rails over the concluding stages of the six

furlongs. When Tierney, his rider, saw the opportunity he seized it promptly and vigorously piloting his mount had the satisfaction of gel- ! ting him home by a head. But for the leaders leaving the rails round the ‘home bend it is very doubtful if liranison would have been in a dividend place. Ilis win was popular, however, and the district sportsmen, Messrs A. J. Davis and It. Bennett, were the recipients of congratulations at the overdue ' success of their colours.

Lucy Rose ran second to Awarere in the sprint event on the opening day of the Ohinemuri meeting. The Lucullus—Autumn Rose filly tackled (lie middle journey of the Shaw Memorial Handicap on the concluding day. She was favourably placed 'early hut lost her position to he running on again in fourth place at Ihc finish. With a good passage on the latest occasion, Lucy Rose would have been hard to boat.

Glenotus had the distinction of winning both steeplechases at the Ohinemuri Club’s meeting at the week-end. While tile Gleuullin gelding did not have very strong fields to account for, lie carried 10-5 on the first day and tJ.I at his next appearance. Glenolus gave a finished display of jumping, while he stayed on in in's usual good style. With Mashoor out of action through his rider losing an iron on .Monday and Boomerday carrying wide when leading at the turn for home on the latest occasion, Glenolus’ task was made easier, but lie would probably have won in any ease.

Gcmlight made only one appearance at the Ohinemuri meeting. That was in the Highweight Handicap on Saturday in which ho was beaten a head by Tluirniis. Gemlight did not have the best of it in the running on that occasion. The Treclarc —Headlight gelding is very forward in condition and he should continue to- do well in the racing just, ahead.

Boommlay, wlio is now owned by Lhe local, trainer, J. F. Tuichen, linislicd fourth in lhe steeplechase on I lie first day at Paeron. Over the longer journey of lhe cross-country even! on .Monday, Boomerday made the running over lhe concluding round and finished second to Glenolus. This was the first appearance by Boomerday since the Waikato Hunt Gup Steeplechase on Labour Day and his latest efforts were very satisfactory.

Owairaka was prominent for lhe greater part of the journey in (he hi'ghweighL at Pneroa on Saturday, hut he stopped in the very final stages, That the race improved him, Owniraka proved when tic won in similar class on Monday, The shorter journey of the second day event suited the Archies town gelding who pays his way each season.

Lunette ran a clinking good race in Hi e Net her ton High weight 'Handicap at Paeroa on Saturday. The Nassau —Lady Frisco mare was expected to be prominent again when saddled up for the concluding event of the meeting, but she did not get.out of the ruck on this occasion.

Page Boy was a little unlucky to be beaten for the thick end of the stake in the Jlikutaia Hack Cup at Paeroa on Monday. But for getting chopped back af the start and having to run round his field the Clarenceux gelding would have won outright. He was in front a short distance from lhe winning • post when Quinsilla came along with a wet sail and topped him off.

Thurnus is not much to look at hut he Is proving a payable proposition this season. There was a good deal of merit in his success in the Highweight Handicap on the first day at Paeroa as he had to cover a lot of extra ground to get up after being none too well placed over the first half of the journey. When E. Ludlow sat down to ride the Thurnham gelding, who is trained at Te Awaniutu by J. Fig teller, he .got. a dashing response . -■

j Sir Russell’s success in the Shaw { Memorial Handicap, the leading event Ipn the concluding day of the J Ijhinemuri meeting was quite decisive. The Archiestown gelding began well and his ability in this ; respect played no small pari in Ihe i victory. Despite the fact that lie ! ran about a bit. Sir Russell finished i very resolutely lo beat Maori Roy I decisively by a length. Sir Russell |has proved a useful Make earner this ] season for his Te Aroha owner-train- : cr, J. 11. Wallace.

Oil King contested two-year-old . events at the Ohinemuri meeting. The. j Chief Ruler—Cocoanut colt had been i working well on the tracks at Ehorsiie ! prior to Ihe recent fixture, but he did j not threaten danger in either or his ! starts. When he becomes more 'seasoned with racing Oil King will do | bel ter. He scored his only success

tat Te Rapa in Ihe spring and will j probably be seen out on the local j track next month.

j Tradesman proved the most pro- ! miricnt of the two-year-olds at Die ! Ohinemuri meeting where he won each ! day and relumed his followers good ; prices- The Raceful —Lady BirdI wood gelding, who is trained at Te : Rapa by 11. T. Reilly, who owns him, | began smartly on each occasion and

Ibis early speed was a big factor to- | wards his successes. Tradesman has j always been prominent in bis races ' this season and it was pleasing to see ! these successes come his way. | ‘Tradesman, who was produced in excellent order at Die week-end is likely ito be heard from lo further good j effect before the season runs out.

Tenakoe. who won al Te Aroha fol- ; lowed up (his success with another in his only start at Die Ohinemuri meet- ; mg. Tile Marble Ai'ch-Queen Elizabeth j gelding had a keen tussle with i Ghroniadync before he got the judge’s ! decision in Ihe Wailii Handicap at I Paeroa on Monday arid then there i was only half a head to spare. Tcna- | kof. who is a half-brother to a former I useful galloper in Ruapapa, is going iln develop inlo a prelly useful sort. ; lie is in A. Cook's stable at Te Awamulu.

The luck of racing was well illustrated by the win of Paitonu in Die i Thompson Handicap, writes “The j Watcher” of Ibe leading even! at the recent Wellington meeting. For the past two years Die stable of .1. Fryer Mias been endeavouring to lift this prize willi Bright Glow, but the best i she could do was a couple of seconds. Nobody will suggest Dial. Pailonu is Die equal of Die Day Gomel mare, yet be wins where she fails. Paitonu . was bred and is raced by bis owner, :Mr P. Tito, of Taranaki. He is by i the Bezonian horse, Bisognc, who left : some very useful stock prior to his sudden early death, and his dam, I Monaghan, is by Jingal from Olcoari, |by St. Legcr from Musket Maid, by Musket- Paintonu has been a good stake earner in previous seasons, but . this was his best effort. He is rising eight years, so that it was a good performance io lift such a nice stake at this stage of his career. The time, ■ 1.4(1, was slow for Die average Thompson Handicap, -and ,it suggests Dial Die quality of Die mii<#s this year is -somewhat lower Ilian usual. With ordinary luck it looked as if either Led Heckle or Yerligern would have been returned Ihe winner. Chromadyne has had a win and four seconds in six .starts. At the Ohinemuri Club’s mealing the Quin Whey—Uranium gelding made an exhibition of his field in the Novice Handicap, while at his second day start he went under in the W’aihi handicap by Die narrow margin of half a head in a great set to with Tenakoe. Chromadyne, who commenced his racing career at Iho Taka puna Club's ! Summer meeting at Ihe end of ■ January, is going to prove a good j stake earner for Mr It. Hannon. lie, is a good beginner, while Ihe manner j in which be ran .out the seven furlongs i of Monday's race gives indication j ibat be will gel a distance of ground | later on. -a par I from bis prospects as | a jumper when such a time arrives.

The North Island Challenge Slakes at, Trentham on Saturday was con-

I lested by four two-year-olds and ! Hiree older horses. The five-year-old i Gimubue carried the full penalty of I jlb., while the two-year-old Tenterden had to put up 1011) over the w.f.a. scale, and lhe live-year-old Paff'anelti Tib over. It was found Unit the 71!) penalty on Paganclli helped to bring about his defeat at lhe hands of Hie unpenalised youngster Gvlindcr, writes “The Watcher. ’ At llie same time, Cylinder’s performance stamped him as an improved and improving two-year-old, who appears likely lo develop still further. Cylinder scored the first win in this event for Mr A. B. Williams, who now races in partnership with his trainer, J. JL .Tcfferd, and who has lhe majority of New Zealand’s important races to his credit. Cylinder is also the first of the stock of Limond lo win a North Island Challenge Slakes. He is out of Cynienc, a mare bred in Lngland in 1021, and imported by iho laic Mr J. F. Buchanan. Gymcnc is by Cylgda I from Hippocrene. by Spearmint (son of Carbine). At the Kinloch dispersal sale in January, 1928, Cymenc, with Cylinder al foot., and again in foal to Limond. was secured by Mr Williams for 2250 guineas. The foal she was carrying is now a brolher to Cylinder. The win was not out of turn, . for Cylinder had run second five limes this season, Including races like the j Great Northern Foal Stakes and the \.R.CI. Royal Stakes.
