Sporting Notes

[By "Senex."]

Mr Stead was the largest prize winner at the recent C. J 0. Meeting, his cheque reach ing the handsome sum of £2225. 'Xhe local horses competing at the Cup meetiog have returned to headquarters. 11l luck seems to have attended the efforts of both Cannonshot and Double Event to score a win. Both were completely out of sorts, the first-named being apparently on the stale side. Dundee, who carried off the Spring Hurdle Race, was the only local horse that gained a first prize. On the last two occasions a four-year-old has run second in the Cup, and canyiag a fair we'ght, too. Although St Paul is un doubtedly a game !irtlphor;'e, bis older rival carried too many suns for him. This year's race for the bij handicap is regarded as the best fought one for many years pant. Hitherto the finish for the Cap has been generally voted a one sided one, and has, as a rule, been won very eas ly. This year, however, such was not the case, as a, sterling battle was fought out by the placed horses. It is very evident that no hone with any pretsnsioaa to 'Gup honors could be satis factorily prepar<ad at Ashburton. Te emeter broke down some time ago, after having been well support*d for the race, and Cansionshofc, as before, stated, was not fib to run a strong two miles, as the facilities for hie prepara tion were not available on the Ashburton tracks. Horses that are meant to engage in the fray should be at Ricoarton at least six Week* before the date of the meeting. The question of a horse staying a distance has often been the subject of a great amount ol diversity of opinion. It was retarded in ■ome quarters that the hero of the New Zealand Cup this year was a reputed non itayer. That idea must now be set at rest, ac Waiaku has proved himself a staypr in evsry sense, having won races from four furlongs up to two miles. It is simply a matter of training for a horse to get a distance comfortab'y, and, if prepared properly, muat Undoubtedly get to the end of a long course. Several instances can be quoted to prove the foregoing, aotably the case of Bloodshot, Who did a meritorious performance in the Melbourne Cup of '96. and who, until then, was looked upon by the most astute judges ar quite incapable of performing creditably over a distance.

KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, risiDg five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pisterns, also great bone, eieajn and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution.



His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion {448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first aud champioo upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivan hoe 2nd (299, 5.C.8.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was gotby the greitiSir WalterSeott, whose breeding neods nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably knowa as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand.



King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her aa a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Quean of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe {imp- ; 113, 5.8.) Ring of Quality as a yearljng gained first prisb at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, and as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedjn. It will be seep from the above that I£ing of Quality is deapended from j>he purest strains of prige-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire, Terms f £4 4a j £3 2s at end of season, balance when mare proves in foal.
