NOTES AND COMMENTS (By Sir Bedivera.) Acceptances for the Dannevirke Atftuinn Meeting are due to-morrow. Tim Woodvilb und Dunedin Autumn Meetings corirtnence on Wednesday. Bon Ton and Sauci are, it appeaTs, certain to contest the Wingatui double, and each will no doubt b« ridden by H. Gray. Thereafter Saupi will prob» ably be cent horth to try and pick up the Flying Handicap at Wanganui, in which he will be piloted by W. 8011. Whether Bon Ton will accompany him north remains to be seen, but it is said that Gray is off to Melbourne on Saturday for the purpose of riding at the V.R.C. and A.J.C. March fixtures. Thus suggests that the Boniform colt will not be a competitor for the Wanganui Cup. Up to Saturday no rider had been secured for Kilrain in the Dunedin Cup. Some of our studmaater6 are now turn* hig more attention to the acquirement of English-bred mares, and it is to be sincerely hoped that others will follow suit. The only wonder, in view of the recent experiences of Australian breeders, is that so little has been done in this direction. Still, wellbred young mares are at length beginning to creep in here, and Mr. J. 13. Reid has just purchased a couple of three-year-olds which should be landed by April. They are Christmas Rose and BrissGlette. #he former is a brown, filly, by Helliotrope (St. Frusquin— Cema, .winner of £6429, by Petrarch— Cherry, sister to Energy) from Evadne, by Sidue (St. Simon), Star of Fortifne, by Hermit— You Go Off, by Sir Hugo from Fuse. This filly belongs to the same branch of the No. 9 family which produced St. Damien, Cyllene, Wakeful, and Noctuiform. Mr. Simon Harrison got 910 guineas for hef yearling half-buster, by Grey Leg, and Evadne's last foal, by Bayatdo, is spoken of as one of the best in his stud, Mr. Reid'e other filly is. a chestnut three-year-old, by Picton (Orvieto-— Hecuba, by_ lsonomy) from Marchpane, by Marcion (Royal Hampton— Emmeline Marcia, half-sister to Saint Gatien) from Gloria (dam of the Cambridgeshire winner Sloration and granddam of Ob who beat French Fox and Gouvernant), by Rosi crucian— Pan* dore, by Newminster from Caller' Ou, granddaughter of the famous Queen Mary. On 2nd March Messrs. A. L. Wilson and Co. will sell, at Kingan's stabks, Trentham, five horses, on account of the mortgagee. Theae are Field Battery, by Hotchkiss— Lady Evelyn, sire of Bronze; First Battery, by Field Battery— St. Winifred; George, by Field BatteryCompanion j an unnamed filly by Field Battery from Trix (dam of Adroit) ; and Sonite, by Field Battery, from Wish. The mortgagee's estimate of values may be seen at the office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court, Wellington. VV. Bell will again ride Tiresome in the Wanganui Cup, and Berry has been engaged to pilot Sinapis. Devastation, by San Francisco— Dismay, who used to carry Mr. G. Donnelly's colours, has been sold to Messrs. Cle&l and Niccol, and is now a member of W. Mobberley'a string. H6 is eaid to be a useful colt t,hat may be capable of winning long distance events. The cole topic in sporting circles at Kotorua on Wednesday evening (writes Phaeton) was the disqualification of Parawai in the Farewell Handicap, and the subsequent impounding of the stakes, consequent on an appeal by P&rawai's owner, Mr. J. Collins. Parawai was weighted at 7.8, and as she was ridden by Martin, an apprentice, the usual allowance was claimed. In ruk 9of section XXIV., >of the rules of racing, it is set out that if the jockey cannot draw the proper or declared weight, the clerk of the scales shall allow him lib. Martin, it is stated, Weighed out at 7.2, and after weighing ih was ordered back on to the scales by Mr. Duncan, stipendiary steward, who raised the question whether the extra pound, which is allowed a jockey to come and go ,011, could be claimed in the circumstances. A meeting of the stewards was held, and after discussion it was decided to disqualify Parawai and award the stake to Kotiripo, the second horse. However, Parawai's owner lodged an appeal, and pending a decision by the district committee the totalisator money is impounded.
