GENERAL NOTES.

MELBOURNE, September 5.

Intrepid fell in the Steeplechase at Caulfield yesterday, and broke his neck.

Through taking off too far at a fence in the Steeplechase at Caulfield yesterday the favourite, King's County, got into the obstacle, and broke his forearm. An effort will be made to save him.

First acceptances for the Epsom Metropolitan are due this afternoon. Second forfeit is to be declared on the Thursday preceding each race.

Lochnagar, by Lochnair out of Arethusa the property of Mr. J. B. Clift, was awarded champion honours for blood stallion at the recent Gunnedah (N.S.W.) Show. The old Prince Charlie horse Lochiel, who was good at any distance from two furlongs to three miles, being dead and gone, it has come to be recognised that any stallion decently bred on the mare's side and by Lochiel or one of his sons, should be well patronised at the

stud.

M. Ryan, the Sydney jockey, who was over here riding for Mr. W. N. Willis, is right out of luck. He had only just recovered from one accident when at

Canterbury-park on Saturday he had a collar-bone broken, and received injuries to his back as a result of E.K.W. falling with him in the Hurdle Race. He was removed to a hospital. (

A. Stacey, the Adelaide trainer, has reached Caulfield with the racehorses Young Fred (an aged gelding, by GozoNecklace, brother to the ill-fated Gordon), and an untried three-year-old filly by

Fortune Teller.

Six applications were received for the position of handicapper to the Port Adelaide Racing Club, which had been rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr. W. C. Hughes. The committee appointed Mr. P. Goudie.

Concerning the disqualification of the racehorse Ellis in west Australia, the injunction was based on the claim that Lauder was not present during the whole of the inquiry. Rule 18, which deals with the matter, says-We decision given upon any inquiry into any charge or complaint against any person, or into any objection against any horse under

these rules, shall be valid or of any effect unless the person against whom the charge or complaint, or against whose hands! the objection shall have been made, shall have been afforded an opportunity of (a) attending the inquiry, (b) hearing all evidence given thereat, (c) crossexamining all witnesses who shall have given evidence thereon, (d) being heard and giving and adducing evidence on his own behalf." It has been cabled that in the effort on the part of the West Australian Turf Club to dissolve the injunction, the judge said that the stewards had not complied with the rules,, and should have given clear and unmistakable notice that a complaint was being made against Lauder, in order to ensure his attendance, The

Positano colt, Posite, has changed hands, his new owner being Mr. J. H. Hindhaugh, a well-known sportsman of the Western District of Victoria.

Admiral Hawke, own brother to the famous mare Pretty Polly, easily defeated the favourite, Mistrelln (F Wootton), in the Levant Stakes, of £1,045, for twoyear-olds, at Goodwood on July 28. The English public never seemed to have taken kindly to Admiral Hawke, and he was neglected in the betting. This brilliant performance will bring him into greater favour.

His Majesty King Edward VII. and Queen Alexandra were present to see Minoru win the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood last month in a common canter. It was a race with penalties, and Minoru carried 9.8. Only two others startedPrunster- Jack and Verney.

As learned by cable, Flavel shares favouritism with Blue Book for the A.J.C Metropolitan. This is how Milroy of the Sydney Mail" sums up the chances of Mr. S. M. Wilson's horse: -"Flavel is a Flnvus, bred by Mr. E. R. White at Merton, and is out of Lady Kernel, by Prince Chester from the Goldsbrough mare Philopena, one of the Cocoanut tribe, which has produced many good racehorses, including, of course, such smashers ne Navigator, Trident, Coil. Cobbitty, and Cocos. In Tasmania Flavor was as good as the best of the locals, bat Jack Smith gave him 1217 and an easy beating in the Hobart Cup, which sounds anything but reassuring. Of course, the colt may have made considerable progress, which doubtless he has, since he met the erratic little Victorian, who, to my way of thinking, is always a bad horse when he meets a good one that will go at him and put rude questions to him before he has time to think. After the Hobart meeting Fluvel went on to Launceston, and was defeated in the Cup by Golden Gate, a colt of his own age, to whom he was conceding 8lb., and whom he beat in the Hobart Cup at a difference of a pound in his favour. There is nothing very attractive about the turf record of Golden Gate, except as a six-furlong sprinter, but all the' same he and Flavel both defeated Deleads in the Launceston Cup, giving him weight. Delenda then came back to Melbourne, and should have won, some people think, the Australian Cup from Pendil, who was giving him a pound. In this race Flavel was out of a place with 6.12, and, judging by his appearance when he came to Sydney later he could not have been in the best of nick for he looked very washed out and weak when he arrived at Randwick, and it took Kelso same time to get him into anything like bloom again. There was some talk a while back of Ambassador being Kelso's sheet anchor, and a good one at that, for one of the spring handicaps, ? if not the double; but his running at Rosehill puts him right out of consideration

for either of these events. For six furlongs of the rule which he was called upon to negotiate at Rosehill Ambassador was pulling Pike out of the saddle,

but when it came to the finish he melted away like snow before fire, and finished badly behind the unexpected Master

Foote."

In Hungary and Austria thoroughbreds imported as foals with their dams acquire all the rights of native horses; therefore they are qualified to take part in all races, but when imported without danger later during their yearling days, they can-not qualify for all races-only for a small proportion of them. Last year Mr. de Szcmere brought in a motion to enable owners to buy yearlings in foreign countries, and to grant to those the qualifica-tion of native horses, supposing the owners are willing to pay an import tax of 250 SOVS. per head. At a recent meeting of the Hungarian Jockey Club the Szemero proposal (as it was called) was carried, but, with a view to future brood mares, granted only for fillies, opening to them nearly all the greater events that are for Continental bred horses, except French-bred ones." Colts are debarred this favour. The amount of the paid im-port taxes will be used for breeding purposes, chiefly for importing mares, and first-class stallions

The death of Mr. R. M. Morton last week removes the oldest continuous member of the Canterbury (N.Z.) Jockey Club, he having been elected in 1858 or 1859. For many years he was a steward and a committeeman, and rendered yeoman service on the course committee, and took a prominent part in planting the race-course reserve. In the old days Mr. Mor-gan was an owner of racing stock, and in 1879 his filly Maid of the Mist ran third in the Canterbury Derby to Mr. Douglas's Malabar, Mr. Brabazon's Waterwitch being second.
