TURFIANA.

(BY CHEVAL.)

THOUGH I am not inclined to lind fault W'lh Mr' Adams, the owner of the totill zator, for pa.ying on Yatapa over the Conso lation Race at the Onehunga Raefs, the rule that seems iv vogue, " first past the post," being a sufficient excuse for his action, I think tbe racing clubs should at once enforce a regulation that on the totalizator as in any other batting the nrney shall go with the stakes. Tho proviso, "first past the post," opens to the door for the perpetration of swindles, and we have plenty of men In our community only too willing to take advantage of a loophole that will safely enable them t o perpetrate sharp practise. I can not better illustrate the present rule than by a parable. Stubbs, a very smart, though disreputable sport, purchases a hack with a turn of speed and enters him for the celebrated Mudflat Cup. There are a large number ot Southern and otbor cracks engaged foe the race, and all the knowing men laugh at Stubbs' folly. On the dny of the r, cc tbere is close on £1000 in the totalisator on tlio cracks, and S.ubb3 alone lias hacked the bony gelding, ihe race starts, and Ringtail, thJUgh he weighed out with 7st up, and has a sst boy on his back, is for a short time in the mck, Thm the spec tators are mtonished to *cc him run inside a post, or half-a-dozin posts for that pan', ol: the matter-the difference between giing inside one post and taking s, short cut that will *aye a couple of futlongs is only one of decree — and piesently Ringtail passes the judge* box, lengths ahead of all the Traducers, Muskets, and Yatt^ndons in Jthe race, Stubbs presents his ticket at tbe machine and receive* his £1000—lets of course tnat ten per cent. What carei he if the Club disqualify uiiutail from running again, He has made qaite a little fortune out of tbe beast and can get £15 or £20 for him as a hick any duy. I really think, when there is a possibility ot wotking a swindle like the foregoing, the Club should not he»itate a moment in passing a rule tbat totalisator bets go vrith the stakes. A Queen-street tobacconist has been "posted" at: the local Tattersall'a. Ilippodamia ha* becu unfortunate at Marlborough, only securing tecond place) in the two Iii;; event*; and against very second rate cattle, too, Mr Long, the Australian sportsman, intends visiting England next season for the purpose of seeing his young ters run in the classic races.

The local metalliclans have pencilled a good many wagers aoout the Dunedin Cup during the past we jk. Bundoora's price i* 2 to 1, S tlvaga and Welcome Jack 5 to 1, Sir Modred (I to 1. Ring Quail and Somnus 8 to 1, Cheviot, Vangau d.and Nonsense,lo toi.

All the books with the exceptio n of Poole and Enko, lost money over the Onehunga meeting, ('ne of them also hacked Lone Hand fox £20 on the totalizator, and then to square bid loss b t a level £20 that the »tewa:-da would not give Lone Hand the stakes, is now lamenting. Since King Quail passed into Patsy Buller's hands he has been well supp.rled for the Dunedin Cup. The Tc Aroha Racing Club purpo.e holding a inieling_ on St. Patrick's Day. The Kgmonl Bating Club's meeting will eveutuate on March 26th.

If WVcomo Jack is meant for the Dunedin Cup, I believe he will land a winner. It is very hard to believe that there are better horses in tbe colony than a colt who, in a common canter, whipped horses o:i the calibre of 'ihe Poet and Tim Whiffle!'.

From a racing p. ogramme in the "Lyell (Wes; Coast) 'lime*," I cull the following amusing particular* :—"Tho third race on the. fir* t day is the Lost Tribe's Cup, of lOsovs., "with an authentic history ot the tribe since their ad vent to Giutrce Terrace, compiled by one of the tribe, and biauti fully bound iv moroco; cntraace, £1 ; distance, two miles, Interval ot twanty minutes, while tho .^towards " take the oath." The next notab'e event is the Novel Rae*. the gift of the local store keepers, consisting of their accumu lated ledgers since the opening of the Msitak'toki Goldfields, together with arouj<h pencil-sketch of the Wood-hen Track, showing the scene of a lao encoun'er betweeu an absconder and his pursuer. For this race tin stewards will charge no cntranct) fee, at the value of the stakes cannot lie computed; distance, once rouid the course. The closing event is the Con station Stakes—i case of three-star brandy, with a new pannikin. Under the head of " conditions " appears the following :—Any horse the winner of £10 or over is to carry at least Sal; ex'ra. Ladies are requested to appear iv evening costume, with gum boots, as tho meeting may probably wind up with a ball.""

A LONDON MYSTERY.

Another case of '". Indiscreet Familiarity."

A vkhy remarkable trial was, on December Hth, brought to a close at the Central Criminal Court in London, Thirteen months have now elapsed since a well-to do baker named Urban Napoleon Stanger suddenly disappeared from the house where ho lived in St. Luke's, and where he had carried on his business for a con siderable time, It must be admitted that it is not a very uncommon occurrence lor men to forsake their wives and families. Such husbands, however, usually act in chat way with the object of relieving themselves of the burden of maintaining those dependent upon them, and iv the ex pectatiou that the parochial authorities wi'i do what, is needful in the case. Heartless scoundreli of this class always make off with all the money they can collect, and leave their wives and families destitute. Urban Napoleon Stanger, even if wo accept the suggestion that bis disappearance is' due to Ids having run away from his home —hehad no children—could have been in fluenced by no such motives. On a Certain Saturday lie was observed to enter his house at, midnight, and from that hour to the prevent time no tidings respecting his whereabouts have been obtained, despite all the efforts ot the police, We learn from the admissions made by his wife in Court that not only did he leave behind him his banker's book, his cheque book, and the keysofhta safe, but " all his clothes." It is also well known that at the time of his strange disappearance he had a balance at his banker's of upwards of four hundred pound;, and that among his stock weie one hundred and twenty sacks of flour. Not one penny of this money did he withdraw from his hankers after his alleged flight, and his wife's explanations certainly do not tend to lessen the mystery in which his fate is involved. She averred that her husband had threatened to leave her, and bad declared that he had plenty of money to enable him to carry out bis in tunti.on; but Mrs Stanger's proceed ings after the disappearance, as admitted by her in the course of her evidence, will not induce any great feeliDg of confidence in the theory which Bhe has set up to ac count for the continued absence of her hus band, Indeed, she confessed while in the witness-box that after Stanger's flight she wrote a letter and signed his name to it, and thnt the purport of it was that he was alivo itnd well. Nay more; ehe sent a second one, which was posted in her hus band's native conntry, Germany; and this too she admitted, was a forgery. We shall > not try to explain the motives that induced the woman to act in this sin gular manner. Mr Justice Hawkins told the jury that he was quiteunable to under stand the reasons which induced her to write these letters, and with that remark the matteir must for the present at nil events be allowed to rest. Most people will recollect thatitt connection with this extraordinary case, a, German named Franz Felix Stumm was charged with two forgeries. This man seems to have been an intimate fdehd of Mis Si anger, in who^e house he took up his abode after ths disappearance! of Stanger. Tho result of the evid ecce given during the prolonged trial of Stumm, was that he was found guilty of the charges brought against him, and Mr Justice Hawkins did not heritate to pasii a severe sentence upon him. Stumm heard with apparent unconcern that he would have to undergo ten years' penal ser vitude. Indeed, he went so far a»to de clare in effect that he was "very much obliged " by the view of his conduct taken by the judge. It is not unlikely that this convict has a good deal to be thankful for, after nil, in connection with this case, but we should scarcely have expected that he would express any gratification on finding himself sentenced to a long term of penal servitude.
