NOTES AND COMMENTS

[By Glencoe.] n _. m E i loU id not overlook the closing of ™trfes for the llawke'e Bay Jockey. 8 übTiutumn Meeting. These must be in tie hands of Secretary H. &. Mobs bj 3 for all events at the ManaSaturday evening with the secretary, Mr. VvS' from Palmcrston North, etatea :SiiristtTln at^ «e^e nO ar e e C lv^ m race Iβ SStinS interest in. Quito unexf2g Seadown and Mcnclaus wi 11 be eeint on to Hastings to compete, at the .Ha«kis Bay Meeting the following- week. Borne fifteen-months ago Mr. Lan Duucan, of the Waikauae Stud, imported eevSfaL yearling, from England, some of them have been leased by Mr. h. b. urntrell and have been taken south by M; Hobte to be trained at Eiccarton. n Wiiminff Shot who was placed second to^ n Ld bl oUe' S s at Feildin, figures amongat the entries for the Maiden Plate at the Manawatu Meeting next week. The Wauganui-owiiea Turanganito, who has won at hie last two starts, is to bt J runner in the Telegraph Handioap At Iwnpuni next week. He is engaging better company tban ho has yet met, but there was a lot of merit attached to h'S Peilding success, and he is sure to give a good account of himself next week. The imported horse Gay Lad was rcsci ved for the Welter Handicap at Timara yesterday and l,e =nsily accounted for the lot opposed to him. The runner-up was Speotual, a mare that used to race In the North Island a couple of seasons * S °' Chrletchurch writer eays:-Silver and Black showed a. lot of temper on being taken on to the' track, but when she settled to her task she reeled ofl seven furlongs in lmin. 31 3-sseo. Sir George Clifford has sold the two-year-old filly Sweet Smile, by San Fran-olsco-Winmng Way, and she will go into J B Pearson's atablc at Eiccarton. The four-year-old gelding Thcsuus-, by ilartian-liady Lillian, has been returned to his owner, and ho will not be further persevered with. . The Blenheim trainer, A. Horo, is bringing Good Hope and Imaribbon over for the Jfanawatu Meeting. The former ran a good raoe at Tauhereulkau, and seems to bo coming back to form. He has uecu a great disappointment since he beat Kilboy in the Champagne Stakes at Hiccartou two years ago. . The Easter Handicap winner, Parisian Diamond, whoso score is now three rot out will be a runner in tho open epnnt event at the cominff Manawatu Meeting. He Iβ now near the top of the handicap, and only receives 41b. from Croesus. The last time the. pair met, Croesus gave the Charlemagne II gelding a stone aud 121b., and finished in front of him. If Parisian Diamond Jβ to reverse the placlngs nestweek lie will have had to make considerable improvement lu the meantime. On her showlug in the Great Northern St. Lcger, in which sho defeated Esthiml, the Trciithain mare, Bonnie Maid, is entitled to serious consideration for anything sho starts in next week. J. Ayres'e stables also shelters a very useful sort in Battle Song, a dual winner at Taviueri , .. nikiiu. In his last si art Cattle Song conceded 191b. to Warmth, tuid the latter, made the form look good by going ou to Bulls and defeating a large field in the Hack Welter llnndicap. Amongst those who finished behind him were Colorado. Fore, and Transmission, all of whom have won pince At niccarton on Tucsilay, Biplane and Afterglow sprinted five furlongs iu lmin. 2 l-ssec. Biplane finished in, front without much effort. TTiiT p3tT are to lca\<c Lyttolton for Falmerston North to-night.
