'.-,■ NOTES AND COMMENTS. .(By Glencoe.)' E. Cutts took home Stratagem, .Do Witto, and Sistpr Anno by the, Lytlelton boat, last night. Tho first-named, was'the-only-member of the team to race unsuccessfully during tho trip.; She is credited with doing good track work during tho past couplo of.weeks, but she ran poorly at Awapum. . Dusky Morn is to make an Australian trip in tho near, future, and it is probable that he will bo: nominated for tho next. Nowmarkot Handicap. Ho is sure, to bo given a heavy impost wherover ho goes,' but ho looks ono that will carry almost any weight when ho is well: Buccleuch pulkd iip rather, .''groggy'', after tho l'phangina- Handicap at Ashhurst on Saturday,, and \raay not. be quite v/01l enough to tako part in tho' battle at Tauherenikau tomorrow, , ....' . , ... ... v l!'ireiron claims ail engagement in the Wairarapa Cup to-morrow: Ho ran in the leading division of tho Ashhurst Cup field for seven furlongs, but then retired beacon. His performance gave mo• the impression that ho was short of.a gallop. Racing takok place to-morrow at Bulls, Stratford, Hastings, Tauherenikau, and Waikanao. The Summer Meeting of tho Wairarapa Racing Club takes place at Tauherenikau tomorrow and Thursday. The club,has made special. train arrangements, so that visitors from Wellington will have amplo opportunity to go to the races and back again the same clay, yn tno lirst clay trains will leave To Aro at a quarter to sovpn and ten minutes to nine,'and leave Thbrndon at. 7 a.m..and 9.5 a.m. Full arrangements are advertised 'in this issue. ( Bookmakers wishing to ply their calling at tho Wairarapa Racing Club's meeting should apply for licenses before 10 o'clock .to-night. At.the Cromwell Racing Club's, meeting, which took place last week, tho principal ovent was won by tho aged gelding Casque, who ran through last season without a win. Cavcola, Jack Ashore, and Oliver each won doubles. Lady Stockwell, who won the Junction Handicap at Recfton on Friday, is owned by a Palmcrston North gentleman. Sho is a five-yoar-old, by The Officer—Tomoraire, and raced half a dozen times last soason. ' Now that she has struck form she should provo useful. . She ban further engagements to fulfil on tho West Coast boforo coming homo. King Billy, who ran second to Waipuna in tho Auckland Summer Cup on Saturday, | filled a similar position behind Lnndlock in the same raco last year.. [ Weights-for-the AVelliiigton. Itacing'Club's summer meeting are due next Monday. ' Bookmakers who oporated among tho outside public.at the Ashhurst meeting say the business was no good. Tho majority of those on tho inside' report a solid profit. Tho public patronised the poncillers very well in tho one-dividend events at tho meeting, and in 'several'races tho combined'forces of the bookmakers must have handled more money than the Where there aro big fields, however, the public like the chance of-a dividend for second place.
