NOTES BY HIPPONA.

Truly, horse-racing is an uncertoin game, and never was it more fully exemplified than on Tuesday last by Sir Modred's win in the Great Metropolitan Stakes. The unsavoury tactics adopted by his party in the Hawkesbnry Handicap, and the fact of his name not being mentioned in the betting quotation!', was quite sufficient for us, at this distance from tho scene, to think very lightly of his prospects ; and, added to this, wc Now Zc.'ilandoi's always gavo him tlie credit of being more nt homo ovci milc-and a-lialf courses. However, tho gallant son of Traducer proved that two miles is well within his reach, and with Bst 101b in the saddlo it was indeed a great performance to romp over a high-class field like that opposed to him on Tuesday. The victory of Sir Modred will set the Christchurch Middle Park Stud Company in high glee, for it was in their estate at Ricearton he first saw the light of day, and, although his siro Traducer, had to be destroyed by them in 1880 from the effects of old ago, his dam Idolia, is still grazing in their paddocks, and as the mother of Betrayer, Liverpool, July, and others, she will always live in tlie memory of turfites. Sir Modred was purchased privately by the Hon. R. Campbell when a yearling, and look ing over his past deeds, I find that he made his first appearance in public in the Wel come Stakes at the C.J.C. Spring Meeting of 1879, but owing to not being himself, failed to get a place. At the Dunedin Autumn Meeting some months later ho showed his true form by easily winning tho Champagne Stakes,_ and followed this up by another wto in the Canterbury J.C. Champagne, but in the Nursery Handicap at the same gathering he could got no nearer than thira, During his threo-yoar-old career, ho won the C.J.C. Derby, ran unplaced in tho Canterbury Cup, got second to Natator in the Metropolitan Handicap, won the Dunedin Cup with the good impost of 7st 101b, corned Bst 111b into third place for the Publicans' Handicap, and won tho Railway Plato, w.f.a. His next appearance was in the Great Autumn Handicap, when with Bst 101b, he suffered a half-length defeat from Lady Emma, but it was no disgrace to him, for he was conceding her 391b. With tho same weight, he easily appro priated tho Timaru Cup, shortly after which lie changed hands, and was taken to Mel bourne by H. Goodman. He only started twice there, being unplaced in the Melbourne Cup and Spring Handicap, and was brought back to the scene of his former triumphs. At tho Wei lington Summer, ho finished unplaced in the Railway Handicap, and at the Wnnganui Autumn, he won the Town Plato, ran unplaced in the Cup, and had to go down before Hippodamia in the Railway Plate, w.f.a. In the Great Autumn Handi cap and Easter Handicaps, at the C.J.C. Meeting, he failed to get a place. At Ash burton he had no difficulty in winning the Publicans' Handicap, but in the Cup he had to succumb to Envious and The Poet, while again at Timaru he had to bo content with third place in the two events that he started for there, conclud ing tho season by carrying Bst 121b to the front in the Dunedin Birthday Handicap. He commenced the season of 1882-83 by getting third to Tasman and King Quail in tho Geraldine Racing Club Handicap, and at the C.J.C. Spring Meet ing some of his early form returned to him, for he easily won the three events that he started for, viz., Free Handicap, Canter bury Cup, and Christchurch Plate. At the Dunedin Autumn ho failed to carry his Dot 51b to the front in the Cup, but he got second to Lady Emma in the Forbury Handicap, second to Tasman in the Flying Handicap, won the Tramway Plate, and ran unplaced in tho D.J.C. Handicap. This was the last gathering at which Sir Modred sported silk in New Zealand (his winnings in added money altogether totting up to £2,425), after which he was shipped to Sydney. He made his first appearance at Randwick in the Spring Stakes at the A. J.C. Meeting last season, but finished unplaced, and occupied a similar position in the Caulfield Cup and A. J.C. Summer Cup. Sir Modred's brilliant victory on Tuosday was hfs first essay this season, so far as we know at present, and I find that previous to that time he ha 3 altogether started in 38 races, with the fol lowing result: — Ist 2nd 3rd Unplaced At two years ..a — 1 1 At three years.. 4 2 11 At tour years .. 3 1 3 6 At Aye years .. o 2 1 2 At six years .. — — — 3 The position of third place oocupied by Hastings in the race affords another illus tration of how unfortunate winners of the Hawkesbury Handicap areinthe "Metrop.," for Dagworth, in 1872, is the only horse that has yet succeeded in placing the double to his credit. [Since the above was written, wo have the news that Sir Modred capped his previous effort in the Craven Plate on tho third day of the meeting, beating the speedy Malua, Off Colour, and Bargo. The cable states he led all the way, andran the milo and a quarter, in the splendid time of 2min. lOJsec] Owing to being on the sick list, I was un ablo to put in an appearance at the Epsom Trotting and Rasing Club Meeting on Saturday last, but from what I hear the wholo affair was not of a character to assist towards the good of racing. Protests and "hanky-panky " business was the order of the afternoon, and it is strange to me how those in charge of tho totalisator escaped without a scene similar to that which oc curred at the last Aucklfnd Autumn Meet ing. Hitherto we have been free from these kinds of race meetings, and it is to be hoped that wo have seen the last of them. Although the Hon. J. White has made many bids for victory in the A.J.C. Derby, it was not until Saturday last that one of his representatives was successful in getting home in front. Not only, however, did the lion, gentleman supply the winner in Bargo, but the second horse Tremando also boro his colours. Bargo has proved himself a great colt, and l» well-bred enough far anything, being got by Maribyrnong from Guelder Rose, by Kingston from Camilla, by Yelverton from Camilla, by Cap-a-pie from Violet, by Gratis from Camilla, by Bay Camerton from Betty, by Hector. Major Walmsley informs mo that Tres Deuce (the dam of Louie) has dropped a filly to Anteios, and Mersey a filly to Musket. From Christchurch I learn that the arrival of Nelson there has oaused him to be backed to win the New Zealand Cup at 100's to 7 and 8. Turquoise has been backed for a fow centuries, bi^ 100 to 6 is still on'offcr. For the Derby the only material change is the advance of Carlton, about whom all the money at 100 to 10 has been snapped up. A private cablegram received in town states that Garfield is scratched for all en gagements at the Y.R.C. Spring Meeting. This will prove a sad blow to backers, and must bo the means of making Bargo and Tremando warm favourites for|the Victorian Derby. With ono exception, all of the local books were taken down by Sir Modred's win in the Groat Metropolitan Stakes, a well known North Shore backer being lucky enough to got on to tho " good thing." Christchurch papers record that Trenton pulled up very lame after a gallop recently. It was caused through being pricked in some manner in the frog of the foot when being shoed, but his owner hopes to havo him all right again in the oourse of a fow days. Mr H. Redwood states the C.J.C. Derby candidate, Black Rose, is one of the best colts he has ever bred. " Sir Launcelot" says Mr P. Butler has sold his crosscountry horse Mustard to Captain Cotton. Mr G. Bate has christened his colt by Feve out of Jenny Lind Patrician, and his filly by St. George out of Fleurange Nemesis The English Jockey Club h_a,Ye passed the following rule:—«' Where a walk over, except after a dead heat, is the result of arrangement by th,e owners of horses en gaged, neither a, cup nor a,«y portion of the advertised money need be given..-'

THE STOUT VOGEL MINISTRY.

Press Opinions on Its Character.

(BY TELEGIiAI'ir.—OWN COKKESI'ONIIENT.)

Ohmstciidkcii, Wednesday. The "Lyttelton Times" says:—"The Ministry, so far as it is formed, commends itself to the favourable consideration of the country. All sections of tho Opposition aro represented. The men represent the prin ciples that are generally accepted—at all events, in this part of the country. Of the Premier, Treasurer, Native Minister, and Minister of Public Works wo have too recently expressed our opinions for any detailed notice now. Mr Reynolds is a veteran politician of considerable strength and shrewdness of character, who brings much experience of office to the new- Ministry, as well ns an honourable record gained in stormy times. As the father of the ballot movement, Mr Reynolds will be acceptable to the country generally, Ji r Tole is a new man ; of him it cannot be said he is a fossil of the old time, nor can it be said that he is without experience in the House of Representatives, of which he has been a member for many years. As a lawyer of long standing, he may be said to" be conversant with the duties of Minister of Justice. Ho is, of course, untried as a Minister, but that is necessarily the case in every Minister now to office. As the repre sentative of tho Grey party, he is an element of strength. With Mr Tole in the Ministry the game of 'seesaw' hitherto played by Sir George will not in nil probability bo repeated. Sir George, moreover, has come to a compromise on tlio subject of" the property tax, as will bo seen from the Association report of tho notices of motion given at the afternoon sitting. Hj s com , promise will probably be acceptable to all parties when the proper timo comes, and may therefore bo regarded as likely to settle matters for the now Government, For the rest, there is a good deal of undisciplino in the various quarters from wliich opposition to the now Govern ment may bo expected We trust, however, that the complications of the last month havo created a general im pression in the Houso that any Ministry that may be formed is now entitled to a fair trial for its measures. We therefore await w-ith patience the appearance of the Finan cial Statement of the new Government • then we shall have principles to discuss' and principles that may bo relied on to win."

_ This morning's " Press" says :—" Conces sions mean that the Government recognise the weakness of their position. Not merely are they the same Government slightly modified that lately received an overwhelni ing want-of-confidence vote ; they are a Government composed of sections that have recently shown the most profound distrust of each other. A Ministry so constituted certainly cannot be described as the strong Government about which members talk and in order to create which a general elec tion took place."

The "Times"of this morning considers the new Government will probably stand. At all events, it is pretty certain it will be allowed to bring down its measures.

Dunedin, Wednesday.

The "Otago Daily Times " says -.—"That the new Government is a really satisfactory or even strong Government, will scarcely ba affirmed by anyone. The past fortnight's disturbances have boen time almost entirely wasted. We have returned to the stattti quo ante bcllum. The new Government is merely an improved edition of tho old one. The omission of Mr Barron's pair should go far to removo the objections which were legitimately made against the insular character of the first edition of the Stout Vogel Cabinet. The desperate efforta which thoy made yesterday morning to force themselves in by the window after they had been shown the door will provoke much amusement, and in their disappoint ment they need not look for much sym pathy. Tlio Middle, Island element no doubt still preponderates in the Cabinet, but this is the almost unavoidable effect of the position of parties, and there is not a single aggressively Southern name on thet list. As the strength of the Government I will be in doing as little as possible, we. A* think it scarcely likely that any proposal H for an alteration in the incidence of tax»t':-A tion will bo brought down this year." 'SKA The "Star" does not suppose theree_n*¥," be any serious intention of allowing Mr Reynolds to lead the Council and conduct § the Government business in that body. It says the appointment is at the best a '' curious one, especially in view of wiafcwasso strongly put forth by M r Stouthfmself during the recent election as to the weak repre sentation of Otago in the Atkinson Minis try. It thinks that it is from the Grey or Montgomery-Macandrew section of the House, and not from Major Atkinson and his party, that obstruction may be . ex pected, even if another want-of-confidenca motion is not forthwith published. Wellington, Wednesday.

Tho " Times " to-day reviewsthe Ministry unfavourably. It says:—""lt is im possible that the new Ministry can find favour either with the House or country, but .nevertheless they may perchance stand for a while, The Opposition have not aa yet determined on a plan of action. Some think that tho Ministry should be allowed to go on with the work unmolested; othera that a direct attack should be made at once ; and yet a third section are in favour of postponing active hostilities only until after the Financial Statement shall havo been delivered, (The above matter has been crushed out of several successive issues).
