TURFIANA.

[Bs cnitvAi., I TRUST that the Auckland Eadng Club will do something towards reducing tho difficulties and dangers of the steepleebaso course befotc the commencement of the next season, The height of the jumps would not be out of the way were the course more practicable. But this is not so; our course is perhaps the heaviest in the Australasian colonies, and the only method of effecting a permanent improvement is an alteration in the jumps. An unenviable notoriety has attached itself to steeplechasing here, acci dents being so frequent that owners are loath to send good horses for the big cross country even is, and when they do, instruc tions are given to the riders to run no risks. The natural consequences are that more "rooks" than racehorses are entered, the starters are few, and the sport degenerates. The meeting of the Pakuranga Hunt Club last Saturday was highly successful, and though several spills took place no bones were broken. Trie pack looked splendid, and certainly reflects the greatest credit on the huntsman, Mr Brown. Amongst those present were Mr Digby Tonka on Greyhound, Mr Percival (the popular Secretary of the Racing Club) on St. Swithin, Mr Halstcad on Tricotrio, Mr G, Williams onPatience, and MrLushington on Tearaway, Several oilicers of the Nelson followed the hounds, but navigating a ship ia apparently more in their line than steer ing horses across fence and dyke. An analysis of the handicap for the Metropolitan Stakes shows that all the horses are below iweight-for-age, with the exception of Segenhoe, which stands equal. Grip heads the handicap with 9at-81b under w.f.a. 'Ihe Southern colt Salvage has 7« 101b—15ib under w.f.a. Writing about Grip, " Nemo " says : " Amongst his victories Jast year are classed the Canter bury Jockey Club Handicap, 2 miles, with Sst Gib up, wherein he defeated Louis dOr, Ludy Km ma, and live others in 3.45; the Canterbury Cup, 2$ miles, with 9st9lb, in 4, G, beating the Dauphin and others; and the Chrißtchurch Plate, which he won in very fast time with a big weight in the saddle. Such performances entitle him to the greatest respect, and the handicapper could not do otherwise than place him at the top of the tree, and, all things considered, it would not have hurt the work had the handicapper commenced with him a little higher. Of course when a horse has to un dergo a sea trip and climatic change?, he can hardly be expected to show his best form ; but, if ho be brought over in plenty of time to get him used to the warmer climate, there is nothing about 9st to frighten him, and he should be able to split 3.34 orer the springy turf of liaudwick." The Canterbury Jockey Club's pro gramme for their Spring Meeting on 7th, Bth, and 10th of November, and New Year's Day, have made their appearance, and horse owners have no cause to grumble at the prize-money offered, for they are most liberally treated. As the November bill of fare has already appeared, I will only give the .New Year's Day programme, which is made up of the following events : New Year Welter Plate Handicap of 100 soys, minimum weight 7st, 1J miles ; Midsummer Two year-old Handicap of 200 soys, 5 furlongs ; Obristcburch Oup (handicap) of 500 soys, 2 miles; Selling Ilace of 50 soys, 1£ mile; Spring Handicap ot 100 soys, 6 furlpngs; Scratch Race of 15 soys, once round ; and Consolation Handicap of 50 covs,once round. It has evidently b:en made up with great care, and with a view to entice horses and visitors that usually visit us, but I feel con fident that the Auckland Rucing Club will hold its own, despite the opposition, and that our Summer Meeting will be equally as successful as last year, The amount of patronage we have previously received from Southern owners has been poor, and 'limited to two or three stables. with the assistance of Wanganui and Hawke's Bay, and a number of youngsters growing up in Auckland, the new Christ church meeting will not have the injurious effect imagined. Many bold the opinion that following so closely on the November fixture, it will result in a losb, and it Is not improbable, lor even the wealthy Vic torian tfacing Club cannot make the Cham pion gathering pay, so soon alter the Cup. The Club must be complimented for in troducing a new i emulation, and it is to be hoped the A. K.C. will follow the example, viz., "Prior to any race, the stewards may order a parade iv front of the Stand. Any hone absent from such a parade without the permission of tbe stewards, will be fined 2-ovs." Although tbe fine is net severe enough, it may prevent a repeti tion of what occurred over Hilda at our Summer meeting, and the Billingsgate affair at Dnnedin. Since the declaration of the weights for the big Australian handicaps, speculation has been only fairly brisk. For the Metropolitan S;akes, run at the A.J.C. Meeting in September, Sardonyx has been well suppor ted at 100 to 5 and 6 to win a few thouiands. 100 to 5 has been taken about each : The Drummer, Lord Burghley, Sting,|Cunna mulla, Kingsworth, and Creswick, IOOQ ta 50 being taken about the latter by his owner in one hand, Segenhoe still remains first favourite for the Y.R.O. Derby at 4to 1, while 0 to 1 is obtainable about Navigator, and 10 to 1 [Guesswork, Bassanio, Golden Butterfly, Prometheus, or Saionara. An established favourite for the Melbourne Cup has not yet been selected. Gud,RTs, is the most fancied, with Hereford, $ayj next to them, Sweet William, Paul, Creswick, Prometheus, The Gem, Commotion and Golden. Butterfly. In the doubles, Derby hud Cup, tho following wagers have lately been booked : 10,000 to 25 G.v ( esawork and Paul; 10,000 to 2q Spgenhoe and Bryan O'Lynn; 5000 to 20. Segenhoe and Promo, theas j 3000 to 15 Golden Butterfly and Prometheus; 1000 to 10 Saionara and Saionara; and the same figure about the two Golden Buttprflys.

BREVITIES.

; 100 to 6 is what the Auckland books are ofTeriDg about King Quail for the G. J.C, Nominations for the Canterbury Cap {two soys.) on Ist August, and acceptances for the C. J.C, are due on the same date, Mr Griffin, the American Consul, is pro» paring a report for hi« Government on the br^edinc; of thoroughbreds in New Zealand. Nothing has yet been definitely decided anent the proposed Auckland Spring Meet ing. • ".Augur" thinks $he Gem, with 7at. 4lbs., is "pitcWorked1' into the Melbourne Cap, a.nd, if allowed to run, will be one of the first three. The loading Victorian bookmakers ate sending in their license fees of 25 guineas totheV.R.C. . Wheatear, who cannot live Over a mile and three quartets, is overweighted with, Bst 41b for the Metropolitan St&kes. The Hon. J. Whit vat present in Eng* land, has .purchased La Princesse, a chest nut f\lly two, years old. "Nemo" says Se^enhoe is the finest colt that ever stepped on the Randwick course. - Ringarooma, by Tubal Cain, out of the New Zealand-bre^ mare Lurline, is said to be a yery promising yearling. Besides Martini-Heury, the Hon. Mr White has two colts by Maribyrncwg ea tored for the Maribyruonjj flate. At the sale of the £arl of Wiuton's stud, a colt, clausing Shotovcr as a full sister, was spjd for 730 guineas; and a brother to Marden was knocked down at 110Q guineas. £10,000 worth of horsos wove recently ex ported from Adelaide to India, in one ship load, Brown $ess, by Musket, started second favourite for tho time-honoured. Chester Trades' Cup at 7 to 2, but only managed to finish fifth m a field of seven. Euclid and Sardonyx are scratched for the Melbourne Cup. A Queensland bookmaker was recently arrested foi having no lawful visiblo means of support. Enko, Belcher, and Yuile were the only bookmakers at the Napier meeting. Tho two former were bitten severely through the. favourites winning persistently. Tlw Morphetville (South Australia) race. course was lately graced by an English bookmaker. He laid most liberal prices and was well patroni&oti, Tasmanjan spojfcs expect great things from Stocljfwell, who is entered for the Melbourne Cap. He ran a good second for the Hoburt Cup, and appropriated the Launceston Cup a week after, Advices are to hand that Martini-Hemy, the Musketsylvia colt sold to Mr White, tho Australian owner, for £i,25(), is doing splendidly. lie shows a great turn of speed, and wil not disgrace his parents. The youngster is entered for the Marj. byrnong Plate. Kandwick and Vampire have left the course for tbe stud, the former having passed into the hands of Mr O. C. McGee, while the latter is now the property of a Kaipara gentleman, .- Robert the Devil, who won tho Maiden Steeplechase at Cambridge last season, is coming to town. He will be trained, and entered for some of our spring and summer

I Pell-mell, who ran second to ComrnotionJ \ J his stable companion by the way, aud beat Darflbin in thr. Victorian Racing Club St. Lngcr, is to be Kent to thft stud. "Caspian" expects the winner of the Hawk'Sbury Handicap to come from one of *tbe following :—Harbor, Cunoamnlln, Paul, Stella, Prinia Donna, Kingswortb, or Brjau O'Lynn. Epigram (Wheatear's sire) will only re ceive ten outside mares this season, and those at 25 guineas each. fj . A race without a winner was recently run in England, Three horses started; two did not complete the distance, and the favourite, who passed the winning, post amidst every demonstration of enthusiasm, could not make weight. The brood mare Ada, dtim of Danebury, Adamant, etc., has succumbed to a friendly bullet. Her last foal was a chestnut, filly by Perkin Warbeck, whom Mr Webb, of Clnistuburch, is now bringing up by hand. Manuka, the son of the Peer and W'aimea, that performed so brilliantly in this colony years ago, and has been at the stud iv Victoria, has been let to a Tasmanian breeder. Tartar, by liavensworth, who won the Maiden Hurdle and Maiden Steeplechase at the late Hawke's Bay meeting, wag lately bought at Wanganui by his owner, Mr Bloorofield, for £80. Geraldine Kacins Club annual meeting eventuates on September 28 and 29, The added money issossovs. divided among ten racec 'ihe principal events are :~K, C. Handicap of lOOsovs. 1J mile, and Cup, 100 soys. 2} miles. Nominations close on Sep. tember 21. Lohengrin was twice nominated for the Caulfield Cup—once in Melbourne and also in Sydney—so the actual entry for that raca is now reduced to 132 horses. Shotoyer was tipped for the Two Thou« sand Guineas by " Bleys " in Bell's Life and by " Vigilant" in the Sportsman, although almost friendless elsewhere. The filly was not mentioned in the betting till five days before the race, when on the strength of a good trial ehe was introduced at 25 to 1, and quickly rattled up to 10 to 1. The course was frightfully heavy on the day of the race, and the time was consequently slow. There are now located at Wanganui, and neighbourhood, no less than twelve thoroughbred sires, viz. :—Patriarch, by Yattendon ; Dilke, by Albion ; Gladiator, by Gladiateur; Barbarian, by Traducer; Early Bird, by Day Dawn; Opawa, by Ravensworth ; Cocksure, by Towton ; Don Juan, by Diomedes; three sons of old Sir Hercules mare Waimea (Papapa, Totara, Jfuriri), and Hinemoa. With Hippocampus and Cap-a-pie also at their service, next season, breeders cannot com. . plain, as they have a splendid list to select from, but I understand there are very few thoroughbred mares in the district.

CITY AND PARNELL RATES.

(To the Editor.)

Sir —In jour reply to a corraspondent ask ing it In tbe event of PnrneU being joined to tbe city, tho latter could levy a special riito on Parnell to carry oat its water and drainage, you state " the only rate that tbo counoil would nave power to impose on Parnell would be the general rate of one shilling in the A. If, how ever, the water supply were extended to tho new 'Ward, those ratepayers who were placed in a position to use it wonld be liable for the same or.arges for water supply, as are now levied upon the ratepayers in Auckland." The "following section of the Municipal Act, which appears to have been overlooked, seems to apply to this Question, and as It is one of some public Interest, I belt to request that yon will Infia. t It with my letter for the information of your correspondent " Ratepayer."—l am, fea» J. IT. Clabkb.—Section 111: "If a majority.ot the bor^es&es in any part ot a borough aign and present to the Council a petition defining the boundaries of Ructi part, and praying that a separate rate may be levied therein (or the pur poseofdoingßoma work or Improvement therein, the Council may, by speolal order.mske and levy a separate rate on euch part ot the borough:, bat the totaljamoant of all anon.' separate rates made for any one year in any part of the borough shall nut'exceed one shilling in tho pound. A water rate, gas rate,or any similar "rate made for any sped»l work or purpose, shall bo deemed to be a separate rate, although levied ,on the whole borough: but the limits of area, majority of ratepayers, and amount of rates ;mnntioßcd la reference to separate rates in this section thall not apply to each rates." ■ -■■■■ [It is a question if this section ia not over, ridden by tbe Consolidation Loans Act, which limits the gross snm thttt shall be levied In Auckland Borough. It is evident that a 'separate rate to be levied requires the ac quiescence Of a majority of ratepayers, bat such separate rate noes not apply to a special Vatsr rate, to which ratepayers become liable bo coon as a main is sufficiently near to ba use!el for fire extinguishing, or for domestic o? Other purposes. The powers held by the auoSe land City Council are no greater than those now possessed by the Parnell Borough Council,--Bd»
