NOTES AND COMMENTS.

'■ [BY Gleji'COE.] In connection with tho Feilding Jockey Cluh'i Easter meeting, owners and trainers, arc reminded that nominations for all 1 events, .excepting.the. Maiden Scurry, close on Friday, March 31, at 8.30 p.ti). There was no fast' work at Treutham yesterday, but several horses were given strong work, notably Gold' Lace (looking nice and fresh), Effort, and Iranui. Effort will boi tho only -inClnber of J. Lowe's team to go to the Manawatu liacinf ;@l.ub's meeting next;yveek fo ;Lanibton, Mira. -and Bumble, from the same stable, will, be* sent •to Tauherinikau at Easter. Since: shb won nt Woodville in December, 11 Deploy has failed badly though several • times'fancied by her owner and trainer. At Opaki last week the black filly ran two good races, being placed third 'on the first day and second in her. next attempt. She now scemfe to bo oil, the' upward grade' again, and may 6hortly"repeat :tho electrifying burst of Bpecd' which she displayed when she made a coniiiiOn hack of Lady Moutoa, who has Sihce run creditably in open races. The Australian Cup winner, The Parisian, is first favourite for the Sydney Cup, ' and has been coupled in doubles with ,'all the likely horses in the DonHandicap. At Foxton, 'VVaipaku has recently shown dome glimpse of returning to form and one morning Inst' week, she was timed to _run seven furlongs in a tick-under lmin; 30sec. This gallop should be good enough to cause " her owner to continue .her/ Great Autumn 'Handicap engagement.' The crack colt, Comedy King, has already arrived in Sydney to take pfirt in tho waight-for-age'events at the Easter Dieetiilg of the Australian Jockey Club. At the Rangiora meeting last Saturday, the riding of True Knight by H. ■Donovan was considered so unsatisfactory that the stewards disqualified him for "three months. In all probability : Donovan will appeal to the metropolitan body. ' ! _Giensitle, who woh the Liverpool Grand i National last week; • showed poor form ■nt the Warwick races on February 15, ' and after thnt race he dropped out of 1 favour somewhat for the National. Tho London "Sportsman" mentions that ho was amongst the.live taking part in the Amateur Steeplechase in-which odds were betted on Vinegar Hill, who made all the running and won by forty lengths. Miss Avon came early to grief, ami Glensidc, when very tired, at the last fence and unshipped, his rider, Captain Collis, who, however, was cjnickly in the saddle again, and finished.third. Glenside bore marks of having been spurred on both pides,. ami his chance for the "National" was then considered a remote one. Professor J. G. Cattrall died at his residence, Park Lane, Newmarket, Eng land, last- month after a short illness, a I the ago of 86. Deceased, who was, per hops, the oldest veterinary surgeon ir England, had a largo practice in Lonlir ECiiie quarter of century ago, which l.( gave up and went to Newmarket as pri vate .veterinary surgeon and stud man ager to the liit'e Prince SoltykolT. lha position he retained until tho death of lh< Russian Princo a few years ago. At the annual meeting of the Egmont Wanganui Hunt Club last week it wa: decided, after full discussion, that the an nual hunt meeting be held as usual, an< that the" matter of arranging details bi left in the hands of tho combined cxccu tit'e committees. Mr. G. Currie's Soult yearlings, whicl are destined for tho Easter sales a Rahdwick, u'cro inspected yesterday a Watts's stables by a nuiliber of loca sportsmen, and were favourably com mcnted on. Tho youngsters are a hand some-looking lot, and in excellent Condi tion to enter the sale ring. Should the' experience a good trip, they ought eel" taihly to sell well in Australia. '
