MASTERTON RACES. (By Telegraph.—Special Correspondent.) Mnsierton, March 27. Tiie Autumn meeting cf the Masterton Racing Club opens to-morrow._ A large number of horses from all parts of the North Island have arrived, and tho meetin;; promises to be tlio most successful yet lield in .Masleit.ui. Weather conditions are keeping up well, and llicro is a prospect of a tine day. The chief attention is centred in tho March Handicap and Waipipi Cup, in which gooil Holds have accepted. The race for the Cup is very open, and should prove a most interesting one, practically every candidate haviog a chance. The locallyowned Sir Solo is at present favourite, lust Sir Iwio.y, Sea Queen, .Miseal, ami Gulden Loop are also mentioned. j neurit, All Guns, l.ady Ladtlo, Oliiuee, Composed, and Hiuckorangi have l;een scratched for all engagements. A new silent totalisator will be used for tho first time. Tho tracks are in excellent order, and all nrran:romonl,: are r\ 1 in hand by tho secretary, Mr. llathau ay. 1.0ng.-M, uho won the Lincolnshire Handicap on Tuesday last, ran fourth in the same event las' tfttsm. His nnv>t important "'in last year was in the Cambridgeshire Stakes.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. [Br The Liverpool Grand National Stccplcchaso will be run to-morrow. Nominations for (lie Wellington Racing Club's autumn meeting c-losu to-morrow night with the club's secretarv, Mr. A. E. Whyle. The rncehorscs Ladrono (Kir Laddo— Melusina), AI re to (Sir Laddo—Aello), Lady Love (Kir Laddo—Windlass), and a three-year-old brother to Alrrto are advertised for sale. Particulars may be had on application to liox 88, Palnier.ston North, or to F. lliggutt, Olaki. The Fusion trainer, A. M. Wright, tool; four horses to the Maslertoii meeting, viz., Malapouri, The Rover, Pukelotara, a::d Noli. II was intended to race Lady •Laddo there, but; she developed shin .sorene?s, and will not be a starur. \V. Price is to ride Sea (Juoen and Nukualu in their Mastcrton engagements. The Wangaiiiii horsrma.n has been ashed to ride Julian in the Fcilding Cup, but. ho had to decline as lie is engaged at Tauherinikau on Hie pump day. Ilr> will be at Foilding for the scccrni day's iac- j ing. The Uawke's Hay Metropolitan Committee' will in ret 011 the Hastings racecourse to-day to hear (ho appeal of 11. Cray against his disqualification by the U.innevirke Racing Club. Cray went through to Hastings ye.tcrday. and v.as aceompanied by a well-known New JMy mouth barrister. Sir George Clifford pas-rd through "Wellington yesterday on his way to Wonganui. Lately trainer W. Davies Ims been workitijf Khamsin the wrong way 'round at Trenthaiu, and in scone quarters this wns interpreted to mean that the OuaiT.vniau filly was to contest the Great Northern ' Oaks at Klic'rslie. 1 lowever, in view of the fact thai Counterfeit is a sure runner, any proposed (rip from 'J'rentlnim will probably be abandoned. W. Young will not be in the saddle at Opaki to-day, but will be riding at l!iccarlon at Kasler. He lias been engaged to do the riding of 'Messrs. Stead's horses. G. I'lice oommenerd breaking in a couple of his Charlemagne fillies yesterday. They are the progeny of Angels and' Aiinabelle. Both took to (heir new duties in a satisfactory manner. .1 nouru has been scratched for all engagements at (lie Masterlon meeting, and it is reported that tlie Yk'averley mare has gone lame. A doubtful starter in the March Handicap is the locally-owned mare Effort. Seaman lightened up a lot on his Napier trip, and since his return to Wangaliui his trainer has done littln or no work with him. When at the top of his form the Sylvia l'ark gelding was always very light in condition. The following horsemen have been engaged to ride in the Waipipi Cup at the Aiasterlon meeting to-day Sir Knox, list, (H. Peeley); Sea Queen, list. 71b. (\\. l'rice); The Hover, S-t. 71b. (0. Price); lied Lupin, 7st. Sib. (.1. O'Shoa); Golden i/oop, 7st. Sib. (0. M'Arten); Miscal, 7st. 81b. (W. Wellcr); Sir Solo, 7st. 41b. (A. M'Mullen); San Pluic, list. 121b. (If. Lorrigau); ami St. Mix, list. 111b. (C. Emerson). Acceptances for the first day's events at the Fcildiug Jockey Club's Easter meeting closo on Tuesday next. Rnngiatua will probably start favourite in the March Handicap at Masterton to-day. At the conclusion of the S.R.C.'s meeting jockey P. Douglas, who has ypent a considerable time n Southland, leaves for Riccarton, where lie will take service with trainer W. M'Donald. S. Smith, who- is to ride "Pi mil at the Invercargill'and Riverton fixtures, will also proceed to Christchurch within the next few weeks. He has been eimaaed liv trainer G. MurrayAynsley, and 'will school Mar(iiio_ and other horses in view of the winter jumping season. Weights for the first day's events at the Wairarapn Racing Club's autumn meeting will be declared on Saturday. Probably in anticipation )f Monday's withdrawals being productive of an allround shortening of prices, Ladv Medallist was backed for the Done-aster after she ran (it Rosehill on Saturday (says a Sydney paper). It is asking a good deal of her to win a Doncaster with Ust. 711)., seeing the race lias only once gone to anything carrving more than that weight. With Bst. alb. she certainly run away with llie Canlfield Cup, but a Doncaster Handicap with another lGlb. on her_back is a different matter, and she was in excellent trim when she failed in the Epsom Handicap with Sst. 1211). The Southland "Times" says that what looked at one stage like a very serious accident occurred at the Southland facing Club's. tracks on Monday morning. Chatterbox, driven by Mr. W. T. Hazlett, started off from the mile and a quarter post at a very fast clip, evidently on a lime-making mission. All went well until nearing the judge's box, when the gelding broke—his first mistake for about two years, it is said. His driver endeavoured (n bring him hack lo his gait, but the iiorso kicked but behind, and, the hopples getting in their deadly work, he came to the grass with a crash all of iv heap. The sulky toppled over, and Mr. IT.azletf. was spread out on the grass. Chatterbox presently regained his feet, anil tried to make off on his own, but his reinsnian al-o ■ rose smartly, and recaptured "his refractory steed. An examination disclosed the fact that driver, horse, and sulky had escapcd without injur), and Chatterbox was soon I ravelling round soberly as if nothing lmd happened. Til discussing past Grand National winners the "Pink *Un" has the following (inent Manifesto and M. /'mil Adam, (he celebrated French painter of horses: When requested by his owner, Mr. Buitool, lo paint Manifesto's portrait, with George Williamson in the middle, the great French artist, fresh from Newmarket, where lie had been honoured by King Edward with a commission to transfer Persimmon to canvas, and perhaps a bit 'above himself in oonsfquence, at first demurred. on the ground that it would be rather "infra dig." on his part (o bestow ]iis lalouts on what he (ermed 'a mere steeplechase horse." However, the great man's scruples were overcome at last, mid iio was persuaded to go down to Hampshire and judsre for himself whether his subject was likelv to do him credit or not. A visit to Manifesto in his box was quite sufficient. "Why, Vis « racehorse!" exelaiinod the artist in rapture, as he ran his experienced eve over the shnpelv proportions of the rallant son of Man-o'-Wnr. "Mu fni! What n meestake T have make, to be sure! Pamt 'im. indeed. Vill I not!" And the result was thai, so pleaded was M. Adam with his handiwork that, lie asked permission from Mr. Bulteel to exhibit the picture at the Salon (he following summer whore it was regarded, and deservedly so, by li!= Parisian admirers, as one of (he artist's happiest effort?. fixtures.
