Adelaido , Direct has entered for the rniJo record against time during tho Meeting: NOTES. H. J], Wormald, the well-known Riccarton jockey, has been called to the colours under the second ballot. The V.R.C. made a profit of £14,928 on last year's Spring Meeting. It is estimated this year's profit will only be about £7000, and considering the weather so adversely affected tho Meeting. even that must bo accounted satisfactory. A "Wellington exchange 6ays of tho

two "Highdcn" joctovs drawn for service in tho first baflot: "'Tho wellknown horsemen, A. Oliver and W. Bell, were examined l>v tho Medical Boanl at Pahncrston North this week. Tho former was passed as fit for active service and the latter for homo service." 11. J. Mason left, for tho North last evening with Mr 0. D. Greenwood's quartet lor the Auckland Carnival. consisting of Bimeter, Biplane, Greenstreet. and Thames. Two -well-known Ashburton trotting trainers, Handle McDonnell and Albert Bright, have hoen drawn in the second ballot for militarv service. Mr A. "\Y. Gordon, the owner of Johr Dillon, is at present in Christchurch o: a visit. He leaves shortly for Eng» land to join the Plying Corps. The New Brighton Trotting Club's Summer Meeting will be held to-dny and on Monday, and as tho latter day is being observed as a public holiday in Christchurch. the club should have a good attendanco on both days of tho Meeting. During tho past lew yeari tho New Brighton Club has made very great progress, and the policy that is at present being followed l>v the executive will make for still further advancement. Tho nominations taken for tho coming Meeting wero very I satisfactory, and tho acceptances received for tho first day's racing give promise of a very good day's sport. The track is suffering from* tho spell of dry Aveathcr that lias been experienced in Christchurch, and a good fall of rain would improve it considerably. There wilL be a cipixnal tram sen-ice from Cathedral Square, and the first race will start at 1-.30 p.m.

Capsicum will not take part in lier engagement at the New Brighton Meeting, which opens to-day. Another absentee from the day's card -will bo the Derby candidate Bird wood, who has been physicked and eased up. Dolly Spanker, another member of B. Jarden's stable, will also forgo her engagements at the Meeting. Acceptances for the first dav and nominations for tho second day tho Roefton Jockey Club's Midsummer Meeting close this evening. A Press Association message from Palmerston North states that Ladv Black (Bst 71b) was inadvertently omitted from tho acceptances for tho Fita« herbert Handicap on tho-first day of thf Mr.-nawatu ll.C.'s Summer Meeting.
