NOTES AND COMMENTS [Bγ Glekcoe.] Tho ALanavalti mvoting will ho tho principal ivltrnction tor local sportsmen on Uoxmg Day. Tho card is a' goud one and big fields are unsaged in all the events. A. spk-udid train service has bcun (ti'i'iuigcu, and by leaving town at 7.R) a.m. visitors can see tho lvholo card ru.n through and return by the special train, which arrives ul Thorndon at 10 p.m. Tlio Ashlitirst Club hiis arranged for a special train to run from L'nlniei'alou North on Monday nest, and tiie return journey will 'be commenced aflcr tho lust race. Both . tho Chokobore-traincd pair— Iloathercoto and Unslaught—have been paid up for in thu (jreat Nurlhcrn Derby, but it is doubtful it' nioro tlmii one of tlicin will be included in the litlil. . Though Gloaming, ■ on pas.l form, nplr.'a;,.-! to doniinali' tho position in the Great Northern Derby, it is satisfactory In .sue llnit nine other three-year-olds have had their ciignijeinents continued. An iifct'plance of t'J for the Auckland Clip must bo regiu'ded as finite satisfactory, and it is pleiiiing to find the liamos

of tho three top-weights included in the list. Kilmoon retains his position as favourite, liieccnt-ly, Glendower hns come into considerable favour, while Sasanof, Menelaus, Read Ribbon, nnd Rosu Pink all have plenty of admirers. Tho Wairoa County Racing Club has decided to alter the dotes, of its annual meeting to February 18 and 20, subject to the consent of the Racing Conference. This will bring the fixture between the Dannevirkc and Gisborne meetings. ■ W. O'Halloran leaves for the south to-night, and will bo riding nt Dunedin on Thursday..-His mounts include Black Mountain, Rorke'a Drift, Good Hope, and Plnsiic. The Oaks winner, Punka, was withdrawn from the Otngo Handicap at S.lfl p.m. on Friday. This probably means' Hint she is 'being reserved for the Southland Cup, run on January 2. Thou.ih 'most of the horses were away, some interesting work was v/itnessed nt Treuthii.m on Saturday. All tho work was dona bn the tan track, which has recently been given a dressing, and now affords splendid going. Rienzi wns too good for Blue Gown in a spin over 7 fiwlonijß, which took lmin. 3-1-sec. Tho Signor gelding has shown no form for some time, but he now appears to l>o coming to hand, and may show up at Awapuni. Espevance gave Whnkntina a. start over 7 furlongs and easily accounted for tho Provocation mure, who cannot be got to extend herself. Espernnce is improving rapidly, and should earn a winnine; bracket during Hie holidays. 'IVenthii-m Rose proved that: she retain:; all her old paco by -putting a big brenlc on Red Signal over the first part of a. 5-fuvlouß gallop. J. M'Lauphlin's mare wns running on well at the finish. Colilljon was in Front of Fulcia nt the end of half a mile, which took Ml--ec. Rumania hit out well in u (i-furlongs Enllop with Preface. This pair and Trcntham Rose are. to leave for the West Coast, on They go in pliarsjc of l>. Kinir. nnd W. Mnnccr will i'ifli\'lliom in their ongiigeinonts. 'i'he Iv.'O-ycar-o'.ds f'hur-rnnh aud Motuihi were' spurted llivoo fnrloiißS, tlio former hnving a bit the best; of it at the finish. 80-Pocp bent Philomela over G furIon;,"! in lmin. 17lsec. • Conrllield was going 'hotter than Seance nvw 7 furlongs, the last six tnkiiii; lmin. ISsec. The two-yonr-old Idleness wns no iis> to Active in a smiii'lly-mm hiilf-mile. The latter is growin? more solid in app«UT.iiico, and has done well since the Riccarton meeting. A Press Association telegram from Chrislchuroh states Hint, Dr. Chcssnn, Health Officer, has refined In allow the West.porl Trotting Club to hold its niepting on Boxing Day, owini to the number of influenza cusps in tho district.
