THE TURF.

NOTES AND COMMENTS [Br Glencoi.] Tho ownor of Awahou: and 'Master Lupins has given instructions for the horses to bo returned to Wanganui. They leavo for tho north tliis morning in charge of Trainer J. Coyk, and will be brought south again next month for tlio C.J.C. Grand National Meeting. ■ Acceptances for the Manavratu Hunt Club's Steeplechase Meeting close on Tuesday next. The V.E.C. Grand National Steeplechase will bo run at Pleniington to-day. Tim Doolan, who is the only New Zealand horse competing, is expected to start favourite. Etnperador was scratched for the Australian Jockey dub's Epsom Handicap at 2.15 p.m. on Tuesday. This comes as no surprise, ■ for tho ■ gelding was weighted Hp to his best form. It is not likely that E. J. Mason will now be represented at the Eandwick Spring Meet ing. It was recently stated in print that Plunder was the only New Zealand Cup candidate in training at Trentham. This was incorrect, as J. W, Scott has Sinapis in reprular work, and the St. Ambrose mare is moving along satisfactorily on the tracks. . • The Hastinga trainer, H. Hickey, will probably visit Baud wick for tile Austratralian" Jockey Club's Spring Meeting, and one of his team will bo the hurdle horse, Hurakia. In the Handicap Steeplechase at Moonee Volley (Vie.) on Saturday/June 26, tlie n*kmer, Itenong, was ridden by the exNew Zealander Clarence O'Neill. The second horse, Icon, who was ridden by G. Scobie, was disqualified for missing one of the fences. ■ ; , Accounts vary aa to-the jumping ability of .Multiply. Some of those who saw him scheol at Trentham this week are anything but enamoured with the display of the bay gelding, but it is admitted that a race or two over fences .Tfill. work a big improvement in him. , In the Hurdles at Moonee Valley last month sis New Zealandera had mounts and two of them, F. M'Cabe and H. E. ' Cairns,' rode the winner and runner-up. . A. Martinez, who rode Eathfarnham in the V.E.C. Grand National Hurdles, was only granted a license by , the V.E.C. a week, before the race. The son of Battler won a race at Ballarat. a ' week beforo l the meeting, and it'is probable • that he was 'in tho market on Saturday last. '■ S._ Eoid has been, engaged to rido. Baupani in. his Eiccarton engagements. The frey gelding is nominal! favourite for tho Pinter Cup. > " Daylight Bill, was schooled .at Eiccarton on Tuesday morning, and excepting for a mistake at one fence, he- gave a good display. . i, : After racing at Gisborne last week Campeador changed hands for 200 guineas. His now owner is . Mr. H. Do Latour. Secretary J. F. Hartland, of the . Auckland Eacing Club, has written to S. Keid stating that ho has forwarded a. cheque for £iS :Is. 6d. to the Mayor of Auckland's Fund'as a donation from the jockeys'who: rode at Ellerslie on Juno J. In acknowledging itlie cheque the Mayor says: 'TVill you ■- kindly '-'convey to ' the jookeys responsible, for the contributions, my best thanks' for their generous assistance, which, is much'appreciated." '.'Taririgamutu is' making good ■ recovery from her. recent ailment. She is again in regular work at Trentham. •;C. E.
