He sired a number of winners in Eneland and the firat of his ret Were offered for sale in Australia in 1923.

His elor: on then occasion has left nothing to be desired and the probabilities are that he will bt found equal to much better things later on. His Spring engagements include the AJ.C.
Metropolitan Handicap, the Caulfield Cup, and the Melbourne Cop. The Randwick trainer, G. P. Nailon, acting on behalf of Mr. E.
J. Wart, cave 900gs. for Stronghow at the yearling sales. He was produced on one occasion AS two-year-old, when he ran unplaced in a Maiden Nursery Handicap (first division) at Rosehill. But while his return as a two-year-old WaS negligible quantity, Strongbow has 'well justified his big purchase price.
He has three wins to his credit, one of those wins netting his owner £810. It was in the A.J.C. Grantham Stakes, at the Spring meeting last year, that Strong-ow entered the winning lists. Bedonia was expected to win despite the journey was one of nine furlongs. But the distance was too great for the leggy chestnut and it WAS left to Strongbow to finish in most determined style and gain the verdict by a length and a quarter from Arendal, with Golden Voice in the minor situation.
Following on Strongbow's Grantham Stakes success it was thought he would certainly win the A.J.C. Members' Handicap, ofa mile and a quarter. He was made a 0 to 4 favorite, but did not once get into the picture. His display waS most disappointing. He was then taken to Queensland to contest the Queensland Darby and the Cup, but in neither he showed to advantage and he returned to Sydney with his reputation considerably dimmed.
Some few weeks ago Strongbow renewed his acquaintance with racing crowds, but in four attempts to win a race was unsuccessful. However, he showed little promise and some good judges accepted the A.J:C. Winter meeting to-day, when ers in the shape of the A.J.C. Steeplethe second of the two thousand a poundchase will be decided over a three course, These notes are being written before the determination of the A.J.C. Hurdle Race and the First Steeplechase on the first day of the meeting.
However, it is quite possible that neither of those races will have much bearing on the outcome of to-day's race, as Minterne, whom think will win, Was not nominated for either the big Hurdle Race or the First Steeplechase (2) miles) with 10.6 and the Second Steeplechase (3 miles) with 11,4. In to-day a race he will be asked to carry 11.10. When he won at the Autumn meeting Minterne WaS responsiole for a most convincing display in each of the races he won. In the Second Steeplechase he won by six lengths from King Howard, while Chrysostom was 15 lengths further back in third place. There is no room for doubt that Minterne has proved himself one of the pest fencers seen at Randwick.
He has proved his ability to travel the journey of to-day's race; he will be ridden by J. Sing, one of the most proticient cross-country horsem*n In Australia: he has schooled and he has demonstrated that he is 111 fine condition. Irres; ective of what happens on the first day of the meeting. cannot entertain the of Minterne suffering defeat to-day provided he stands up. Ever since the weights for this race made their appearance he has been at a particularly short price.
But the probamilities are that he will start at 2 to today and justify the price. Concerning the remaining candidates much depend upon how they acquit themselves on the opening day. Pulbi been reserved the Steepleonusu. I he wills zood he will will have much of the ad gelding. Last var.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S DECISION. COLONIAL OFFICE CHANGE. (Reuter). London, June 11. During an all-night debate, after the rejection of various' Opposition amendments, the House of Commons adopted the Customs duty on hops.
and Imperial preference on sugar. Premier (Mr. Stanley Baldwin) said the Government had concluded that the existing organisation of the Colonial Office was no longer In agreement with the actual constitutional position of the Empire. and inadequate to the extent and variety of the work thrown on it. It fell short more particularly in distinguishing between the work of consultation and co-operation with the Dominions, and the administrative work of protectorates: and it was proposed therefore that the conduet of Dominions affairs should be under a new Secretary for the Dominions.
with his own parliamentary UnderSecretary, who would also act 83 Chairman of the Overseas Settlement Committee, Under-Secretaray. and his own the permanent For convenience, the new secretaryship would continue to be vested in Mr. Amery, who would continue to he housed at the Colonial Office. Replying to 11 question by Mr. Ramsay MacDonald 48 to whether the Dominions had agreed to the change.
Mr. Baldwin said the tovernment had been communicating wf1k them throughout. and hoped th matter would he discussed on the Colonial Office vote. Mr. Amery will concentrate on Dominion affairs, and Mr.

Gounod, who is a son of Berasoon, and who realised 250ys. 15 3 yearling, had worked exceptionally well on the previous Thursday morning. In consequence, the big betting party him threw in for 2 big win.
They backed him from 4's to 3 to 2 favoritism. And this youngster justified the confidence reposed in him. He jumped away smartly and after beating off Altergo and Kilbroneen, experienced little difficulty in keeping Aorangi at bay in the last furlong. The secured one great result. That was in the Farm Stakes that went to the 25 to 1 chance, Pelman.
The latter was purchased some little while ago by Mr. T. G. Doyle, the veterinary surgeon, with a view to putting him to hurdling. Perhaps he was somewhat fortunate to win, as Johnnie Jones, the favorite, Was in third place only two heads away, after his jockey had lost an iron during the race.
