NOTES BY HIPPONA.

Nkxt Tuesday is the day Bet down for the ITawkes' Bay Jockey Club Spring Meeting', and with the good entries and acceptances thathavcbccnroceivedourneighboursshould liavo an enjoyable day's sport. As is usually the case, the gathering has excited a fair share of attention in local circles, which has been added to by the fact of three Auckland horses being among the entries. For the first event of the day, the Guineas, 1 mile, tho following have paid up:— St. lb. Messrs C. and .1. Nairn's b c Obortm, by Sator-Sybil 8 10 Mr Halmum's b c Snider, by Musikot- Mtiidof Athol 8 10 Jlr W. Douglas's brg Jacob, by Jav'lin— Scratch 8 5 Mr W. Douglus's eh g Briar, by Tra ducer—Swcctbriar 8 5 Captain Russell's f Escopcta, by Muskot— Winifred 8 5 lh- Allan McLean's b f Marjory, by Jav'lin—Ngaro 8 5 Of the six Jacob and Snider are the only two tried in public, and both have failed to secure a win. but the Musket colt was Buffer ing greatly from shin soreness last season. He is credited with being an uncertain gentle man at any time, for one day he will shape in his work like a racehorse, and the very next turn it up like a cock-tail. Good ac counts reach me of both Jacob and Escopeta, and it is just possible that one of them will win,-although I feel sure it will be hailed with satisfaction here if Mrßalmain's cerise and groy banner is first past the judge's box, for he lias had more than his share of bad luck during his short connection with racing. Tho names of those who paid-up for the big event—the Spring Handicap, 1A mile—are as follows :— st.lb. st.lb. lliw.-liiuf .. .. 9 4 Kingask .... 7 8 Tim Whifller .. 8)1 Lone Hand .. 7 5 Leonora .. .. 810 Yankee .. .. 1 ) l.ixmata .. .. X 3 Kanffipo .-. .. 7 1 ICalo 7 .0 Scud 0 7 The Laird .. .. 7 8 Marjory .... 6 5 To pick the winner out of tho lot is rendered rather a difficult task, as it is hard to tell what horse will be the selected one of the Martin-Gooseman stable, they having four engaged — Mischief, Tim Whiffler, Lconata, and Kingask. The former it is -aid will carry the dollars, but for my own part I think the daughter of Albany and Malice has a little too much weight. Of tho four, I have the greatest leaning to wards Tim Wiiifkleu, who is not a slow one over thw diutance, whilo he always runs particularly well in the spring. The two that I expect to see give him most trouble ftro Leonata and Leonora, both of whom are reported to bo acquitting themselves well on tho training ground. The follow ing are the names of those who remain in thy llurdlc3: — sUb. Bt.lb. tone Hand.. .. 1110 Doubtful .. .. 912 Loch Lomond .. 11 7 Hcrctaunga .. 9 l'J Reform .. .. 10 U Fes r Not .. .. 912 Wild Darrcll .. 10 5 Juliet 912 A.G 10 0 Waowaotika .. 91" Lady] lab .. .. 10 0 l'astimo .... 9 7 In this event I like nothing better than Loch Lomond, but it must not be forgotten that his.stable companion Pastimo has got in very light, for I do not forgot that in tho Hurdle Kace at the A.R.C. Autumn Meeting he ran a good horse with lOst 101b up until tho last obstacle was reached, when ho fell. If Mischief starts in tho Flying Handicap, I expect to see her place the race to her credit. Martini Henri has quito recovered from bis cold, and is again on the training ground doing most satisfactory work. Ij'rora the manner in which he has been performing1,, hin admirers still think there is n. chance of the Hon. J. Whito winning the V.R.C. Blue Riband, and in any caso expect him to be a thorn in tho sides of Archie, Off Colour, and Co. In Sydnoy tho other week, one banker accepted 1,400t0 200, and afterwards 1)00 .to 100 that he would win, and offered to go on at tho price, but the layors refused. The Now Zealand Stud Company can now boast of owning a full sister to tho Auckland Autumn Handicap winner Louie, 'nor dam Ties Deuce, owned by them, having foaled a filly to Anteros, whilo Ouida and Medoa havo produced colts to Musket, and L'Oriont, Erycina, and Moonlight fillies to the same horse. Atalanta has also foaled a colt to Antoros, and it is to ba hoped that tho Company will have a bit moro luck with it than they hare pre viously had with her descendants, for strange to say, each of them have broke ono of their legs. Tho first day's racing of the Viotoria Amatour Turf Club takes place at Caulfield on Saturday next, the leading event sot down for decision boing the Guineas. None of the V.R.C. Derby favourites aro engaged, but among the nine teen who have accepted are Bis Bis, Delu sion, Sardius, St. Lawrence, Napier, and four of Mr DeMestre's, viz., Waxhght, Ike, Copra, and Olga. On the following Satur day, 20th, the Caulfield Cup will, be con tested, for which the unreliable Yately (Bst) and Footstep (7st 131b) are favourites at 100 to S. A £5000 commission has been executed in favour of the former. Mr H. M. Lyon, the Secretary of the Wellington Racing Club, has forwarded mo a programme of the Summer Meeting, which is to be held at the Hutt Park course on tho Ist and 2nd of February, 18S4. Tho addod money for the two days amounts to the good sum of £1,195, the principal events being tho Cup of 400sovs. (2 miles) and Racing Club Handicap of 200sovs. (1 j milo). Nominations for the Cup are duo on the sth November, and the weights will appear on the 2(Jth. There aro 3S nominations for the Victoria Racing Club Sires' Produce Stakes of ISS7, and 22 for tho Geelong Produce Stakes. Among tho entries in each are the New Zealand Stud Company's stallions Musket, Lcolinus, and Anteros. The Company have also nominated the following youngsters for the V.A.T.C. Groat Foal Stakes of ISS4 : —Colt by Musket—Boi-rcto ; filly by Musket —Pearl Ash ; colt by Miisket—Onyx; colt by Musket—Realisation ; filly by Musket— Sister Agnes ; filly by Musket—Sylvia,; colt by Muskot—Lyra; colt by Musket— Locket; iilly by Cadogan—Titania ; colt by Cadogan—Naiad; colt by Cap-a-pio—My Idea ; and colt by Leolinus—Petroleuse. Recovery, the liorso recently purchased by tho Sydney sportsman, Mr W. Kolso, is reported to have dono ono of tho fastest gallops ever seen on tho Maitland course since ho has been in his now owner's hands. He is a five-year-old, and was got by The Drummer from Phcebe. On looking up his performances (which have only been in country districts so far), I find that out of six attempts ho has been successful in getting homo first on four different occasions, run ning a dead-heat for the same honour, and being second once. As he has only 7st 21b to carry in the Melbourne Cup, for which he has been reserved and backed for a con siderable sum at 100's to 4, his chances for the big event of tho year may be consi dered pretty rosy. Winning honours among6t the sires were pretty evenly distributed at the late A. J.C. meeting. Goldsbrousth and Epigram divide first place with three each, while Clifton, Kelpie, and Gemma di Vergy had two each, the others to be represented by winners being Panic, Piscator, Wilberforce, War like, The Englishman, and Gulgong. It is somewhat remarkable that Mariby rnong did not havo one winner to his credit. There has been a deal of " talkee-talkee " between Mr J. P. Jost and Mr D. S. Wal laco over the purchase of Le Grand, and it is possible the gentlemen of the long robe will have to settle matters. It seems that previous to the Craven Plate being run at the A.J.C. Meeting, Mr Wallace agreed with Mr Jost (who had leased the running

of the colt from Mr Kent, of Brisbane, but had authority to sell him) to give 1,600 ' guineas for the son of Epigram, but with powerto forego thepurchase upto thefollow- ing Saturday evening, should he not run to his satisfaction in the Ilandwick Plate that afternoon. To bind the bargain, 1200 was paid down, and directly the news of Le || Grand's victory in that event reached him by wire, Mr Wallaco forwarded a cheque [ i for the balance to Mr Clibborn to conclude the purchase. Mr Jost repudiated tho sale, but it aeems that Mr Kent had more to do with the colt than Mr Jost, so he is now the property of Mr D. S. Wallace. It is I affirmed that Le Grand will still remain in Monaghan'o hands to undergo his Mel bourne Cup preparation. The latest quotations on the twoiprincipal ■ "; ©Vents of tho V.R.C. Spring Meeting are as follows ■<— Derby. 6 to 1 Bgst. Archio fl to 1 Mai-tini-Heni'f. oto I Olf Colour ' :: Melbourne Cup. 11 to 1 agst. First Demon 14 — 1 DcKtopt 11 — 1 Lo OiSiui It — 1 Nicholas' 20 — 1 First Water i '''■?) 25 — 1 Aide-de-Camp 25 — 1 Bordeaux 25 — 1 Culnia 25 — 1 Dirk Hatteraick 25 — 1 Dukedom 25 — 1 Pollio 26 — 1 Santa Claus . ; '"'Sfk While at Ilandwick (writes "Augur") Archie impressed me' very favourably by \ i the style in which he galloped, going witli all his old vigour and determination, and though he looks a trifle on the leg, he is un doubtedly a grand colt. One morning ho went a mile -With Dizzy, and those who caw him state that 3st. would not have brought him and the son of Hughondcn together. >; How he will fare over a Derby course has yet to be determined, but at present he appeal's to be head and shoulders above all other Derby horses ; still I have a fondness - g for the little fellow at St. Albans, Off Colour, who may get to "is head in the last 100 yards. CONDENSED ITEMS. Bundoora is advertised, for sale. Mr Lushingtou has bought Merlin. It is said Stockwell bas gone amiss. '' Nemo" selects Archie to win the V.R.C'.. Derby. Mr Walters's mare Slander has dropped . a bay colt to Fitzhercules. Tasman is favourite in Christchurch for the New Zealand Cup at 5 to 1. The Sydney Turf Club were to hold a meeting at Ilandwick to-day. Mr DeMestre's two-year-old Coeoanut colt has been named Coir. The Otago horse, Coldstream, who won the Geraldine Cup one year, is dead. The promising V.R.C. Derby candidate, Lord Wilton, haa met with an accident. . . r Nominations for the Pakuranga Hunt Club Meeting are due on Friday next at - "}. 4 p.m. AWanganui writer regrets that Hippo campus is not standing in that district tnig season. Mr J. Gallagher notifies that he hag books open on all the principal races in the colonies. Savanaka, one of the best and gamest horses ever foaled in Australia, has gone to the stud. The Onehunga Racing Club have decided ■ V! to hold their next meeting on the 19th of January, 1884. Kingsdale has gone into T. Lamond's hands. He trained Zulu when he won the Melbourne Cup. It is rumoured in Sydney that a dark ■■l horse is likely to come into the V.11.C. Derby betting with force before the day. Chrysophrase, belonging to the Hon. John Bales, of Sydney, is to be sent to Mcl- 1 bourne to fulfil her Derby and Cup engage- .-, ments. Forest King, engaged in the Melbourne ..'■'.; Cup, broke down badly at Bathurst, and his starting again this season is somewhat ! problematical. Caractacus, who was fancied for the Mel bourne Cup until ho ran so badly at Rand- .':■;• wick and Hawkesbury, has been pnrchased M by. Mr H. Haines, the bookmaker. " Augur " says Navigator still retains his 9 beautiful action. Ho has grown upward since the fall of tho year, but has not filled; |j out to any considerable extent.. Zulu still retains a little of his old form. ■'% At an up-country meeting in Sydney the other week, he won one of theminDr events and ran third in two other races. y It is said that all of Mr DeMestre's horses ■ were a bit above themselves at the Rand wick Meeting. If this was the case, they..; j should bo very interesting at tho V.R.C. gathering. A new candidate has come into the • l V.R.C. Derby betting in the shape of Napier. He was got by King Cole from I Frou Frou (Wellington's dam), and is an inmate of Lang's istable. There can be little doubt about Le Grand -~ being a galloper. In the Rand wick Plate, three miles, he ran the last mile and a I quarter in 2.13, thelast six furlongs in I.ICJ, and tho final five furlongs in something like 1.3. At the Ofliriaru Meeting yesterday, tho ■ Hurdles was won by Wildboy, Canary V being second, and Hercules third. Only Hyacinth (Bst. lib), and Sunlight (Gst. 121b), started in the Flying Handicap, the former winning as he liked. The well-known New South Wales stud master, Mr A. Town, has one of Musket's progeny in the shape of .a mare called Bay Archeress running about his paddocks. She is out of tho dam of the great English horse Peter, and was only recently imported. The Hon. J. White's colt Aberfoyle has been turned out of training. Just before tho Hawkosbury Meeting he broke a small blood-vessel in tho head, and as it affected him in the race for the Guineas, it has beeii deemed advisable to give him along spell. It is worthy of note that the downfall of Donald Nicholson, who was caught napping in tho "Metrop.," was brought about by . ■ ;-f| McGrade, who also beat him with Sting when Donald's friends thought they had : such a good thing with Masquerade for the Hawkesbury Handicap last year. Notwithstanding the vast amount of money laid out on behalf of First Water for ■the Melbourne Cup, he remains in slatn quo, and probably will not advance a point until he shows the public that he still retains that . « m wonderful speed which electrified the touts at Flemington a couple of years ago. The_Fev6 colt, Viceroy (late Victory)^ Victoria, and thejumping horse, Quilp, are" being trained at Cambridge by Harrison— not Hodson, as Btated last week. Tommy Hodson has in work there, a three-year-old ; called Linda, by Musket-Jenny Lind, a » ; two-year-old lilly by Anteros, and Robert the Devil. Tho sensational Yately, who disappointed his. backers in the Hawkesbury Handicap, but afterwards distinguished himself at tho A.J.C. Meeting, was purchased by Mr A. F. Sullivan for 300 guineas while that gentleman was in Sydney. He arrived in Melbourne the other week, and has gone* into R. Batty's stable at Caulfield. In England not a small portion of the betting public put their faith upon cele brated jockeys, and do nothing but back their mounts. This is done to a small ex- ; • tent in Australia, and even in New Zealand; but those who followed the colonial Archer V (Tom Hales) must have suffered pretty con siderably during the Hawkesbury and • A.J.C. Meetings, for he only scored one win . at each. Mr J. Wilson's colt, Second King, fM by King of the Ring—Mischief, is very firm in the Maribyrnong Plate bet ting, but 100 to 8 is now taken about Helene,. who will carry a heap of South Australian money. lolanthe is inquired for at 100 to 6, but Superba is not mentioned. Garfield, perhaps, being most in favour of tho others, and an outside price would bo • , ■ taken about Bargo. The rumour that Mr Dakin had deter mined to sever his connection with Sir Thomas Elder's stud tv ms out to bo correct, . he having already resigned, and gave up his charges. The reason Mr Dakin . v . assigns for resigning is that he is tired of - i tho worry and bother attached to training on a large scale. He also thinks the Mor phetville horses have been over-weighted, especially in Victoria. Mr Elworthy has now taken charge of tho stud. Adelaide writers do not gush over Dirk Hatteraick's win in the S.A.J.C. Derby. One scribe says ho was pulling up to the turn, but from the distance he seemed to tire, and tho general opinion among those ■who saw the finish was that tho form was not good enough for a horse expected to take high honours in a Melbourne Cup. All the two-year-old brilliancy was there up to a mile and a quarter, but after that the little chestnut was fading away. Tho ground was very heavy going. From the numerous expressions of appro val heard on the grandstand at Randwick, says a Sydney writer, it would appear that the last act of the Australian Jockey Club in the matter of doing away with the Steeplechase does not find favour with the public. There isno doubt but what steeple chase and hurdle races are looked upon with great favour by a large body of turf sup porters, and I havo never met a thorough :• Englishman yet but what was almost as great an enthusiast over the game as any from Erin's ereen isle.
