NOTES AND COMMENTS. j (By Telegraph.—From Maecenas.) CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 13. There was just a fair attendance at Addington to-day. The weather was ideal and the track in good order. Ayalance, a hot favourite for the opening event, seemed to 7 have no chance of being overtaken with six furlongs to go, but he tired badly and, breaking up half, a furlong from home, an outsider in Rose Peters got up to beat him by three lengths. John Pointer was a good favourite lor the Railway Handicap, and after waiting on the leaders for five furlongs lie paced- away to the front and won, hard held, from Pakoti. The second favourite, Willie Logan, could have been second, but was not ridden out, and finally finished fourth, War Bond, the outsider of the field, being third. Race records went by the board in the Courtenay Handicap, when Great Hope (4.24 2-5) defeated Sheik (4.22 a), with the much improved Dolly Dillon chirtl in 4.27 4-5. Croat Hope owed his success to gaining a good position early, while The Sheik had to cover a good deal of extra ground. Dolly Dillon paced a line race into third place, while Vile and Quiuefc were well up next. Great Hope ami The Sheik | were-first and second favourites

Pea Hie Chimes, at a fraction over even- money, defeated Prince Derby in the November Handicap. Wpth'the other three starters beaten off. 1 Pearlie Chimes waited on Prince Derby until half a furlong from home, when she defeated him in the sprint to the post n- a length. The Metropolitan Handicap was easy ‘or .Jack Potts, who was backed down to a fraction over even money. He lid not give the opposition a look in over the last half-mile. Brown Wood, a good second favourite, was easily second, and Golden Sun paced a good race into third place. Latona was unlucky in the running, but, even so, she would have had no chance with lie winner. Acron (2.3 3-5) and Realm (2.3 4-5) both established Australasian records n the Free for All. while Logan Chief, in third place with 2.4 2-5, was only r fifth of a second outside the record. The start was bad feb- Tara ire. whic-h was left, and Realm. Logan Chid, and •Wron raced in eomnanv for threequarter:; of a mile. Then Logan Clbef and Acron went away from Realm. Wron took the End a furlong from ’'erne and Logan Chief mixed Ids gait !0:i yards from the post, and at the mid won t>v a length from Realm, with Logan Chief threp lengths nwav. Onyx was ten lengths away fourth. Tt. was a In'illmnt race

Up Todd, after galloping on Innumerable occasions in the Snokburn Handi•an, *won hv a narrow margin, from Clonmel Le Todd was an odds-on favourite, and his form was in direct pontrast to that of the opening day, fnr he improved eight seconds on that time. A poor stayer in St. Anthony

was in third place, and Marvin Junior, fourth. The form of a number of the back markers wa-s too bad to he true. Pedro Pronto, one of the cleanestgaited pacers in commission, won the Royal Handicap like a tradesman, returning the Best dividend of the day. Delavan Quest, an odds-on favourite, had no cljance with Pedro Pronto at the finish, while Bonny Logan finished well in third place, just ahead of Albert Cling and First Carbine.
