NOTES AND COMMENTS.

feince coming to Kllerslie I'acitist has been doinjf exceptionally well under K. K. I Brown s supervision. The three-year-old halt-brother to Lornacre has -been showing a good deal ot speed in his work, and « lien ne is properly .seasoned ;ie should his way in min,.i- hack events. I'acitwt had three races last season, and th.it expel lenve should stand t<. bini. SOLID PREPARATION. Butisli Talent, who was a shade unlucky on tlie last d.i \ <»i tihe recent Kllerslie meetnw. is getting through a solid piepal at ion ancl looks much improved, This jfeldinjf won over a mile and a cpiartei .it the la»t AvoiHlale meeting, and he should not Iw bard to place to advantage, e**pevially on the country circuit. BRIGHT AND MUSCULAR. Since winning tlie Alison Cup at Kllerslie last month. Kindergarten has trained on in good style, and looks very bright a i" i "fuweiiUr. He has not done a great deal of lust work, but has been allotted •a lot of strong pacing over middle distances at Kllerslie. K.indei'garten is piobf ably one of the most improved giallopers i at headquarters, ami seems certain to extend his winning record in the near future. MADE GOOD HEADWAY. I>nring the short time Wee l'av has 'been in commission, the daughter of Autupay a u -Pat ih<w made heaciwuy. She ha» ibeen tried several times over a ••print distance ait ElleiaJie, ancl her efforts indicate tthat She is endowed with more tjhan average speed. She is a good actioned faHy and should pay her way when she has had some experience. RETURNING TO FORM. The latent track efforts of Tea Gong indicate that lie is likely to reach 'his best form in the neuir future. He is due to make hist next appearance in tfhe Paterangi Handicap at Te Awamutu to-mor- | o», in which he figures on the minimum. Tea Gong registered two first*, two seconds and two Minis lout season, and he should n<l plenty of rw<.*es to unit him tram now on. * PROMISING NOVICE. A very promising novice at Kllerslie is Brouzo, a member of I). Arnott's team at JvMeiwlie. Ihe son of Bronze Kagle is a j>owwtf.iilly-bulll gelding, and judged by the way tie n working, he possesses more than average p«ce. Bronzo will >be given a race during the holidays. RIVAL AS A HURDLER. Among the novice 'hurdlers at headquarters none has l>een t*ho wirig more promise Pnan Rival, w*ho has >l>een schooling regn- ! larly for »ome weeks past. He is due to tnake his first appearance as a jumper at wie summer meeting of the Auckland Racing Club, and if 'he jumps as well in public he is not without prospect*. IN NICE ORDER. -Nothing of a strenuous nature has been required of Clinch since 'he raced at t'he W afkato meeting, where he fell while contesting the cup. Most of 'his work has 'been restricted to eaf'y ta&k>3 on the sand and ta-n trat-ks, and although he kx>ks in nice order, his connections are dwapipointed they have not Ibeen albJe to give Ihim a couple of races (before the Auckland meeting.
