NOTES AND COMMENTS

fBT GLBNCOE.I enjoyable outing. , When the AucUlauder. Lupexino scored in the hurdle race at the Melbourne Hunt Club : meeting he started at a veiy long SS and the race etoted before he Smato arran E ement ß tor ment. The robbery made a difference ot well over £200 to the EUerslie mentor. The Taemauian-owned Kaheny, woo defeated Tim Doolan at PJemmgton last month, ie a stallion, and is 14 years of ace but α-emarkable- to relato he stiU runs as true as when ho waa a younger horn. It is very rarely that stallions are found who will race kindly at this ace "Haheny is only a pouv, and stands 15.hands in his shoes. During his career on the turf he has competed in 170 races. When Menelaus starts at Otaki next Monday it will be his first rate this season. Under the circumstances his owners will likely give him a run in the .Flying Handicap, six furlongs and not in the Memorial, one mile and a quarter.

• Patrons of ho Otaki meeting, ,to beheld on Monday next, are reminded that the New Plymoutli and Napier mail trains will not stop at Te Horo, Otaki, or Manakau either on th 3 outward or inward journey.

Snub, runner-up to Fiery Croßs in tho big handicap at Ashbuirton yesterday, could hardly be at his best owing to a stoppage in his preparation just after the National meeting. Mr. Dalgety s gelding who generally races well m the spring, should be. at his best for the llunedin meeting , next month.

At the spring meeting of tho Ashburton Eacing Olub last year Fiery Cross was successful in both nig handicaps, and this year a like performance was regiEtered by Jlr. D. H. Itobert's gelding.

The Elysian colt Oourtlield. who pulled up lame after working on Saturday, has become quite sound since, and is again in Tegular work. His owner has nominated him for the two-year-old handicap on the second day of the Mastertou meeting.
