Nominations for the principal «vents at the Grand National Meeting at Kiocarton close,to-night. , , Mr. A. M'Douald is getting a team of horses together who look like earning good money shortly.- Killocra and Strategy were given runs at Hastings, and they will repay watching at Trentham.Bowley, from, the same stable, .is reported to be, catching swallows, on the track at Woodville. Polyphemus was bought for 400 guineas on the .Wednesday:after his win at Hastings. Ho will be a, good proposition in short distance hack- races, but is not engaged at Trenthara, : There has been more than a sugges-tion-afoot that J. M. -Cameron's action in bringing The Hawk to meet Gloaming should be recognised in some appropriate manner. It was .first of all suggested that a piece.of plate be presented, but later it was. decided to make the gift a gold watch valued at 50 guineas, This was handed over to the owner-trainer of The Hawk, on ■Wednesday'afternoon/ the fact only leaking out to the Press in a very casual manner. /There could, have been little more secrecy' if the matter was one 'to everybody's r discredit. Gold Light is not going to Sydney for the spring racing. ,She. may. make the trip in the autumn, but;naturally that depends on how -she fares in her spring and summer campaign, in the Dominion. She might have gone: to "Australia _in the : spring had : some of the younger horses in the stable been of sufficient promise, or forward enough. '
