NOTES.

For tho Trotting Club's Meeting at Canterbury Park to-day, a special service of trams will leave the "square for Sockburn quarter-hourly, from 10.10 a. in.

! Neiius fell when leading in tho New Year's Hurdle Itaco at Auckland yesterday, and broke one of his .egs, and had to bo destroyed. His rider, A. J. McFiinn, escaped unhurt. Waterworks tell in the same race, and his rider, R. Kelly, had his collarbone broken. Prior to leaving the birdcage to compete in tho Glasgow Handicap at Auckland yesterday, Miss Winsome threw her rider, B. Deeley, and rolled on and kicked him. Tho mare had to bo withdrawn from the race, while Deeley received injuries, the true nature of which it was hard to determine yesterday afternoon. The chief attractions of the final day of the Auckland Racing Club's Summer Meeting to-day will be the Auckland Plate, a weigbt-for-ago event, run over a milo and a half, and the Royal Stakes, in which the best of the two-year-olds will be meeting threo and four-year-olds at weight-for-age.

Tho princpal fixtures in tho South Island t-o-dav aro tho Summer Aleetmgs of tho North Otago Jockey CluD and tho Southland Itacmg dub, at each of which Riccarton stables aro well represented. A Press Association message trom Grevmouth says that at a meeting of tho'stewards of the Grey mouth Jock"y Club, to enquire into tho riding of Stau. Reid in the Farewell Hand.cap, tho following resolution was carried:— "The stewards unanimously find Retd guilty of obviously pulling Moreykotl in tho Farewell Handicap, and also of jostling Furo in the same race, and that he be dsqualified for twelve months." Ono of the features of Cheviot Racing Club's New Year Meeting yesterday was the success of tho local horseman, E. Redmond, who redo in six races and scored five wins and a second. When Redmond brought Goldseeker in after the Cheviot Cup ho was accorded an enthusiastic reception.
