Chev. Ginistrelli has been in his native country. Italy, since last October, but he came over to England to see the Derby run. As he remarked to a friend in the paddock, that race reminded him of his Epsom experience with Signorinetta. The statement that the well-known jockey Percy Woodland has been wounded is incorrect. His sister, Mrs. C. V. Talxtr has received a letter to the effect that he was unite well and had ridden two more winners at sports "somewhere in Egypt." J. Chilcls, who rode Fifinclla in the New Derby and Oaks, appealed at Newmarket against the short period of exemption allowed him by the local enlistment tribunal and was granted an extension until the end of the racing season in terms of his contract. The newest racing baronet. Sir W. J. Tat cm. has not been actively associated witli the sport for any great length of time. He has. however, gone into it with thoroughness, having expended a great deal of money on bloodstock during the past few years. The great Hansa Prize of ,750. which was run on Sunday, June 18, at Hamburg, was won by Herr Liudenstaedts four-year-old colt Ritter Kasper from Etrusker, Amorino and six others. The winner is by St. Maclou out of a marc called Routings Medaillc. The Roumanian Derby, which was run in June, was won by a horse owned by Herr Margiloman. trained by Darnell, and ridden by a lad named Taylor. Herr Marglioman also owned the second horse. Darnell will be remembered as head man to Wishard when that trainer was in England. Lord Derby paid his first visit to a race course since the outbreak of war when attending Newmarket to see his filly Canyon run for the New Derby. His son. Lord Stanley, who was wounded a month or so ago. was also present, but could not get about without the assistance of crutches. At Hamburg on June 18 three of the stock of the imported English sire. Pekin. won races. The three winners were Hanover 0 years, which took the Horner Rennen . one mile and a quarter and 110 yards, Kroesns, which won the Peter Rennen ,000. one mile, and Rlumeunindchcu. which secured the Inlander Steeplechase two miles and 330 yards. Sir Abe Bailey was the leading winner owner in South Africa flaring the period of eight months from August 1 last year to March 31. having won in stakes 0,450. .Mr. H. C. de .Meillon came second with 1, 385, and Mr. F. W. Murray third with L,012. The last-named used to race in England, as Sir A. Bailey now docs. Mr. G. S. Weale stands fourth and the Hon. II. Wyndliam fifth, with 0,500, of which amount his Johannesburg Handicap winner, Winnipeg, contributed more than half. With the death in France a few weeks ago of St. Gatiens best son. Meddler, has vanished the chief prop of The Rovers branch of the Blair Athol line of Stockwell. According to the last "Register of Thoroughbred Stallions," there are no sons of St. Gntien himself at the stud here, and only two of Meddlers get, in Med way and Newcastle II. Of these Medway traces at all points to the General Stud Book, for his dam. Brilliantine II. was by Carbine, and traces back in her female line to no less a celebrity than Atalanta dam of Ayrshire and Melanion. Loudon Sportsman. When a stallion stamps his progeny with his own likeness, as Valens has so far done, it invariably augurs well for his career at the stud. Valens may be rather a lighter colored bay than Volta. Julian. The Vizier and Arias. They nie all hard colored bays, witli the sturdy moulding of their sire. Julian illustrated the fact that he could say by winning the Suburban Handicap, while Arius won the Welney Plate of a mile and a half as though no distance is too far for Iiini. It was the superior speed of Hurry On that accounted for Arius at Lingfield. not his better staying abilities, as appeared at the time. Faux-Col is one of his sons.
