RACING IN AUSTRALIA. STRICT LIMITATION FORECASTED. (United Press Association —Copyright.) (Received July 29, 9.50 p.m.) AIELBOURNE, July 29. Mr Justice Murray, in refusing a request to cancel the license of ihe Ascot Racecourse, said that after the war ’ the whole question of racing would be reviewed. Parliament would have to place a strict limit on racing in the interests of the country. He foreshadowed the abolition of proprietory clubs.

lt- is stated that Aiessrs. I.’. and \\ . Alitchell will offer the famous Trafalgar To j- sale shortly. Reg was going better than Scotch Melociy at tho end of six furlongs on Saturday' morning. Tne i'orm.r has been galloping really well ol late, and 1 should show prominently at the meeting. Reports from Ricearton state that The Houlnl (full-brother to Sir Lethe) is a splendid jumper. The Hound arrived at Ricearton last week in company with Morning. A Wanganui report says that a gelding wliieh should take a Jot of beating in the Grand National Steeplechase is Tirohanga, formerly a. stable mate of A make. When Rayner had this gelding he was of opinion that Stepson’s son would make a great cross-country’ horse, as ho could not only jump anything but was a great stayer, with a good deal of pace. Siuco being iu .J. George’s stable he is sure to have had excellent schooling, and wit'll. 9st 81b only to carry it wyukl bo no surprise to see him run a big race. Mr. E. Alison, who will have Ngntoa carrying his colors at Eus-arton at the Grand National Meeting, .has decided to send a companion with tlxc Ngata.run. gelding, and has m consequence engaged a. second box. at headquarters. A southern exchange states that Air 11. Fried lander’s colt Blitz, who has been unsound for some time, has broken down badly. He was entered for the. New Zealand Cup, but he will not be a. starter for the event. Awahou and Master Lupin both claim cugagemcuts in the. Winter Cup and tho Grand National Hurdles,’ and it is hard to say in what events they will start. It is generally expected that Alas ter Lunin will start in the Cup and that Awahou will bo depended upon for the National. However, this is by no means certain, as Master Lupin is getting plenty of schooling, and moreover is going so well over the sticks that he may 7 be sent fur tho hurdles and Awahou relied upon lor the Cup. In any case, Air. BuM has a pair which will ho exceptionally hard, to boat in whatever event they’ start. Cornelian was tested over the bip fences at Ellerslie on Saturday morning. He 'baulked! badly at the sod wall, managing to scramble over the double tand stone wall, but his display was not a promising one. So far no rider has bourn engaged for Ngat-oa in the Grand' National Steeplechase at Ricearton. Lb is . said a- commission has been worked, in favor of Royal Arms for the Grand National Hurdles. .1.1 is stable companion, Glenroy, who is »nicelly handle.-, pped at 9st 2lh for the'Winter Cup, is also gaining friendte for that event. . . Reports from Feilding credit .Jacknia.ii with having made good progress since the Auckland mieeting, and the Handsome Jack gehlmg is expectetl to lie right up to hi S' best lorn\ hy the time ho,is asked to contest the big event at Ricearton. He is not everweighted with 11.2, and is sum to be well s'UjifKirted 1 , as lie is such a- proved good one Vi'li-n .at his best. Aecominodiation 'has been 'sccuretl for Jackman at Ricearton.

It is rumored 1 that A. Okvisr. who is to ride Glenroy' in the Winter Cup, will' have! the mount ou Rovnl Arms in the Grand National Hurdles. A similar minor gained currency last year, but on the day of the rn'ea A! ('Sweeney was on Royal Arms.

fn the event of. Multiply, not starting in tin- Whiter Gup it is understood that B. Dooley will have tlic-motirit on Hanma'kaka'in that-'event.
