Ngaio. In conclusion, I am pleased to 6ay I have discussed tho position with ratepayers of Khandallah who, like myi self, disapprove of half-and-half measures wisely rejected by Councillors Pliinmer, Darvall, Aplin, and myself.— l am, etc., W. H. BOWDEN, Councillor for Onslow. P.S.— Regarding Mr. Kirkcaldie'a statements, I may inform him that I will be present at the meeting to ba held at Khandallah this evening. THE TURF. NOTES AND COMMENTS. (By Sir Bedivere.) With the exception of Birkdale, ail made the extra payment for the Wanganui Cup. The reason for the Karanu colt's withdrawal has not yet been made public, but presumably he has gone amiss in some way or another. W. Price had been engaged to ride him, and there I can be no doubt, therefore, that his j owner originally intended running him. Though Mr. J. Spiers Freeman has gradually been recovering his health, his medical adviser considers that it would be inadvisable for him to carry out his secretarial duties in connection' with the Dannevirke meeting. Mr. UHc Shannon has therefore been appointed to taka over the responsibilities. C. Jenkins, who rode Parable at Woodville, will pilot her in the Wanganui ?*- p Y- r ra y,. wiil > of «>arse, ride Misa Mischief, Oliver will be up on Merrivom £' \. o>Brien on Kopu, and Deeley on Mendip. The Nelson Club's annual meeting takes place to-morrow, when six flat races and two trots will be decided. Last year Lawn Rose won the principal event under 8.9 from First View and Glen. She is again engaged, and will meet « more useful horse in Strathmoira, to whom she has to concede 101b. Daunton, who was successful at Tauherenikau, w entered for both the Hope and Grandstand Handicaps, and Rurik will be seen out in the Telegraph Handicap. The Auckland Trotting Club will hold its next meeting at Takapuna, and subsequent fixtures on its new course at Manurewa. As a trotting, pony racing, and sporte ground Alexandra Park, formerly known as Potter's Paddock, has seen ita'day. The place is to be cut up into building sites, and in future the hammer, trowel, and saw will provide the music where once hoofs rattled to the time of the jockey's baton. Well, it is all for the best; th© course waa never a very satisfactory one, and when the Manurewa track is fully completed visitors thereto will find the arrangement much more to their liking than was the cramped dusty enclosures at Potier's Paddock. A report is current to the effect tiat Soultiform has changed hands, and will be taken to Australia in .the near future. ' Royal Soult, who was sent into compulsory retirement three years ago, mada his reappearance at the Hamilton meeting last week, when he contested the Publicans' Purse. He was not nearly ready, and never looked dangerous. Electrakoff was also backward in condition, but this did not stop him from annexing the event named, for which he was aent out a good favourite. The ex-New Zealander, Mr. E. D. Tanafcyw&o now fcaJtes such a prominent part in buying English thoroughbreds on commission, has become enamoured with the sport of coursing. He has been buying some of the best Mood available, and it is quite on the cards that he may some day wjn a" Waterloo Cup. Strangely enough, the house in which he lives at Newmarket was built out of a Waterloo Cup win, and was formerly known as Waterloo Lodge. Christmas ' Daisy, who won the Cambridgeshire both last year and the year before, was sent over to Nice last month to contest the Prix de Monte Carlo, of 2012 soys, for four-year-olds and upwards. Tlu's event is run. over a mile and seven furlongs course, and th& best that Mr. Wigan's horse could do was to finish fourth. A lot of rain had fallen overnight, however, and the English horse, who led until the final turn, found the going anything but to his liking. Probably, also, the length of the journey waa somewhat beyond his tether. FINAL ACCEPTANCES FOR WANGANUI CUP. fßt TELEGRAPH— ERESS ASSOCIATION.) WANGANUI, 27th February.
