NOTES AND COMMENTS. [Br Glexcoe.] The Masterton meeting will take place 'J on Thursday and Friday next. Those x wishing to attend can leayo town at 7.50 < a.m. from Lanibton Station and return i each , evening. H. Telford is taking over this week 1 the stables recently occupied by W. £ Davies at Trentham. In view of the * fact that the other stables at Trontham 1 are all full, the latest addition to the ranks of trainers expects to enjoy plenty 1 of patronage. i In the Ladies' Bracelet at Opaki on * Thursday the Feilding-trained l'apalitz 1 will be ridden by the crack amateur, ' Mr. Lindsay M'Donald. 1 Altcar may start favourite in the ! April Handicap at Masterton. The Birkenhead gelding had a slight cold on his j return from the Dunedin meeting, but ' he is now quite right again. He will ' be ridden by A. Oliver on Thursday. ! By virtue of their successes at Bullsj ; Papamarama (71b.), Eatana (71b.), and Orleans (71b.) have all incurred penal- ' ties at the .Mas'terton meeting. ( When W. H. Smith had his bad fall ' at Bosehill, ho broke no fewer than ten , ribs, and some in two places. One lung ' was perforated, and his liver was badly lacerated. Under the circumstances it was no wonder that the crack horseman , , ■ succumbed to his injuries. A. Callinau, . on Olive Green, who was killed outright, and F. Foley, on Gracelle, received slight concussion, but Emerson, on 'North-East, Townsend, on Crown Grant, W. Black, on Limelight, Itussell, on Master Paul, and Fox, on Daman, all escaped injmy. C. Emerson returned from Sydney via, Auckland by the Main Trunk express yesterday. He went on to Christchuich in the evening; but is returning to-morrow, and will be avnilable to ride at Masterton on Thursday arid Friday. As Emerson can still ride 7st. ho should not want for mounts at Opaki.' . Judging by letters received from Sydney, none of the riders at Eandwick are <able to hold North East, and he bolts' regularly. At Kembla.. Grange early this month he bolted w.ith _W. Black when carrVing 12st. 51b., and just got beaten on the post. The New Zealand-owned sires King Eufus,(s), Sarto (13), All Red (1), and All Black (1) are represented by yearlings at tho Randwick sales to he held at Easter. Bon Ton has gone, into J. Burton's stables at R-andwick, while- F. M'Grath will have charge of Bon Reve. Latest advices from Sydney state that Wallalo :s first favourite for the Sydney Cup, with Sinapis a point away. C. Emerson will ride Sauci in. the Great Easter Handicap at Riccarton and Moulu in the Champagne Stakes. When. Continuance fell during a schooling lesson at Randwick he badly injured his spino, and had to be destroyed. F. Cress, who was riding him, did. not at first appear to be- badly injured, but later on ho collapsed, and was taken to the Hospital, whero it was •found that he was suffering from concussion. Lochano, who filled third place in tho Camellia Stakes at Rosehill with Bst. 101b.. on his back, is now one of the short-priced division for tho Doncaster Handicap, in which his weight is Bst. 21b.. He will bo ridden by W. Lillyman, a very successful light-weight. Tb'e sire Positano (St. Simon —Penza) is to bo offered for sale at Randwick next mpnth. Being tho sire of Poseidon, Lord Cardigan, Piastre,'Mooltan, Lord Nolan, and Jacamar, ho should command a ready sale. Ho is being sold to make room at the Shipley Stud for Mr.. Sol. Green's recent importation, Whito Star. ' A. Bill introduced by tho Reichstag recently providing for the legalisation of tho bookmaker in Germany is a Government 'measure aiming at the restriction of touts and clandestine betting. Under this new law it is intended that all business transacted by tho bookmaker will be'taxed, whilst tho profits of their clients will also be taxed on a graduated scale. The bookmakers will be allowed to bet on horse races only. The totalisator will still continue to bo tho authorised method of speculation on such' by the Government. Lutteur 111, who filled third placo in tbe Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase, is now tea years old. He is owned by Mr. M. J. Hennessy, and has already won several big steeplechases ; n En'gland and France. Hβ was hopelessly broken down sometime back, but" recently a cablegram stated that he had been got sound again by the aid of radium. SCRATCHED.
