WHEEL AND TRACK NOTES.

TO VISIT HASTINGS. All going well in the meantime it is the intention of the Messrs. Bridgens to semi ihcif two-year-old, Chancellor, to compete at the Hawke's Bay Trotting Club's meeting. After his line win at •Epsom the son of Peterwali looks like winning move races, and, providing, he performs satisfactorily at Hastings, lie will be sent on south to take his place in the field for the Sapling ti takes.

FOUND WANTING. The grey gelding Great Fame has been given every chance, but he has been i'ornid wanting, and hie owner, A. Ncwdiek, has decided not to persevere further with the big son of Nelson Fame. When a youngster Great Fame ran a brilliant mile at Epsom and big things were predicted for him, but, though he won two small races, his form, taking it all through, has been very poor, and the racecourse may Lave seen the last of him. "A LEAN TIME. The Mangere owner-trainer «T. T. Paulhas experienced a lean time this season, and with the exception of Bessie Parnsh his horses have been many removes below the standard usually sheltered in the stable. Great Parrish liae not been himself for some time, but when right he is very gpeedy. Golden Eagle is just a useful sort of slow-class trotter, while Cameiia, Aircraft and Some Dillon arc the sort to build up the stable budget, not wipe it off. A QUIET TIP. the Devonport Handicap vas under consideration on Saturday there was a quiet tip on the course- for Tinokaha. The aged son of Gold Bell—Agnita left the barrier well, but after, going about three furlongs ho became unbalanced and broke up badly. Perhaps the heavy track did not suit him, but the majority of Gold Bell's stock liavo raced well when the track ■is r.nything but firm. As it was his first appearance in a race there is plenty of time yet for Tinokaha to make good. MONEY TELLS. The penalty of 30yds imposed upon Chancellor for the 3.6 mile and a quarter, following liia win on Saturday in a similar class race at Epsom seems a bit harsh, considering that other horses have only been penalised 24yds for winning mile and a quarter races round about the same clasj. However, it is apparent that Sir. Gooslnan is penalising winners at Epsom in such races more than, winners at country meetings, evidently taking- into consideration the amount of the etake. Winners of improvers' races at Epsom this season have been penalised 36yds. CONSISTENT OUR SUMMER. '; The Bruntwood owner-trainer W. F. baunders s,eems to be able to do everything with Our Summer but win a race. The chestnut, in the early part of the season, consistently failed .to leave the mark right. Now that he has improved considerably in his manners at the barrier he rarely goes a bad race and is always about at the end,, but so, far seconds and thirds have been his portion of the stake money. There arc a couple of races he might win at the Eotorua meeting on Saturday, and these he could pick up at no cost, as wins at Eotorua do not carry penalties for iotalisator meetings later on.

HARD TO DRIVE. Cimarron is one of those speedy pacers ■who would wiii races if he could be relied upon to do his pacing Tight all the time after lie leaves the barrier. At the Thames meeting on the second day lie went to a tangle after getting well away, and at Epsom on Saturday he repeated the performance, although he was in the money r at the finish in each of the two races he contested. The son of Worthy Bond has a brilliant turn of speed for one .racing in the improvers' classes, but until he becomes eolid he is going to be a hard horse to drive. Racing should do a lot for Mrs. L. A. Stormonfs gelding, and next season should find Cimarron a good performer.
