NOTES Ai\D COMMENTS. Exactly, the three-year-old iilly by Lueullus from Tact, is reported to bo well forward. Jn her lour starts. last season she failed to show up, but is regarded as a likely sort for a maiden race at some of the early meetings up North.

.!. I'!. Thorpe has Lomint fairly well forward, aud what the iilly bus been asked to do has been clone to tlio entire satisfaction of her trainer, at Ellcrslic, writes "Archer." I.t will, be interesting to see how timidly progresses during the next month, as she is by Catmint, who will have two-year-olds racing for

the first time, in the Dominion tills season..

So far, only three jockeys have been retained in the Dominion for this season, according to the official notice of the llacing Conference. The Aucklancler, H. Goldfinch, has given first call on his services to Air Ji. Friedlander and second call to Trainer J. Williamson. Mr and Mrs J'\ S. Easton have first call on A- JMcFlinn, and G. Young will again be first horseman for Mr G. 1). (ircenwood.
