NOTES.

Acceptances for tne races to be run on tne opening day o, mo Marlborough Racing Ciuivs Autumn Meeting close tiiis evening.

At- Paimersion North yesterday, ft. Berry was suspended for one mouth for careless riding of General Madero iv the Clovcrlea Handicap. Radnor and Bon Tun. who were recently purchased from Mr S. P. M;Vckay, for 5000 guineas, by Mr R. S. Falkmei', are now bciiv trained by J. Seobie. The starting at tho cvnifcb Canterbury Meeting on both days was of a very poor description, ana" if. was the exception rather than the rulo to find the competitors go off in line. Milo, who had not raced for some time, gave two very different displays at tho South Canterbury Meeting. On the first day ho was never dangerous, but .evidently tho race did him a lot of Gjood, and he performed much more creditably in his race, yesterday. Reval once again showed himself to bo a racehorse of nioro than average merit, and tho manner in which ho won the Autumn Handicap was very impressive. Ho made the pace warm right from tho start,»and nothing elso bad a chance. J. "Camnboll and F. E. -Jones wero the most successful horsemen at tho South Canterbury Meeting, tho former riding tho winner of the big race each day on First Glanco and Ileval, besides steering Teviotdalo to victory in tho last race of the Meeting. Jones scored o_:i Obsono, Slogan, Sir Hamilton and Speedometer. Nominations closo this evening for the Great Northern Hurdles, the Great Northern Steeplechase, tho Winter Sfceopleehiuso, the Cornwall Handicap, the Prince of Wales's Handicap, and the York Welter Handicap, tne chief handicap ovents to be run at tho Winter Mooting of tho Auckland Racing Club. The decision in favour of Master Hamilton in tho Hack Haudican at Timaru yesterday was not relished by severnl of thoso interested, who are of tho opinion that Fin hold should have pot the decision. It was a very closo thine;, and hat! not the Sfcrorin-hohd gelding "floundered" a bit iv tho bust hund-ed yards ho would have won comfortably. Regarding a, complaint as to interference with Pariform and other horses in tho Manawatu Stakes, at Palmorston North yesterday, tho stewards passed the following special resolution :—•''The stewards are satisfied that the interference by Bold Stroke was not intentional: but in their opinion those responsible should exercise great care in putting up indifferent horsemen who aro incapable of controlling their charges.'' Miss Finland scored a very popular win in the Temuka Handicar) at the c>outh Canterbury '.Mooting vostorday, and incidentally paid easily tho biggest dividend of the Meeting. She hopped out very smartly, aud, despite being very inartisticaily ridden, just had enough energy left to stall off a stroiic challenge from Hops. It will bo ie> memberod that on tho first day of this Mooting the filly was badly placed in the early stages of hor race, but put in a great run oyer the last half-mile. Some alterations aro necessary in tho list of nominations published yesterday morning for tho New Brighton Trotting Club's Autumn Meeting. Myrtlowood's name (should appear in the Trial Handicap instead of the Ladies' bracelet ou the first day. Miss Peggy should bo included in the Innovation Handicap, to which Admiration was given in error. Admiration and Lady Nelson aro additional entries for the Autumn Handicap, and Tornado and- Elio «le Beaumont for the Electric Handicap, iv which Imperial Victor was wrongly included. On the second day Chord's Girl's name should appear in tho entries for tho Ladies' Bracelet.

Tno two displays given by Kilts in tho hurdle races at Timaru wero quite in keeping wit hthe latest essays over the hurdles on the training tracks. On the first day ho whipped off at the first hurdle and incidentally carried Salathiel off with him, and yesterday ho ran off at tho third obstacle, and in doiiifi so struck Salathiel, and tho latter blundered and came down. After this race D. Moraghan, the trainer of Kilts, was called before the stewards and fined £5 for interfering with the horses as thoy raced to the hurdles. It aprx-ars that men were placed at each hurdle with the idea of keeping Kilts from running off.
