NOTES AND COMMENTS. (By “Maecenas. ’’) In .By.mbn. (Psychology-TresSida) Air 4. <B. McLeod lias a promising colt, that should do Trainer iLuke Wilson, good service. This juvenile claims half brothership to Runnymede and Baa say, and may prove equal to either. * * * * *

iiaiiMM* j. it. on era [produced a met maiden performer In Don Quixote ai the Hunt Club meeting held at Has tings last iSaturd'ay, It should not be long before Don Quixote improves or his second placing at: that meeting. ***** I’m Alone, a somewhat 4 ‘leggy” gelding that claims Lord Qiicx-Bayonne as his ibreedimg, was a runner in the -Maiden Plate at the recent meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Hunt. I’m Alone

covered a lot of ground to finish a good fourth, and should do bettor on firm ground. ***** At different times a similarity of names has caused confusion on ra'eccourses and annoyance to handi,cappers. Conference has of late kept a iclieck on such, lbut iu tlio Hawke's Bay Hunt Club's correct card of (Saturday last j appears the names of ;Curtsey (LimondI Salute) and Court,soy (Liuvnn'dAs 4ho latter is only a tiwo-year-oid, it comes as a surprise to find this name allowed. The three-year-old Hunting 'Cry was given a run with the two-year-olds at Hastings last. Saturday, and showed, by heating his younger rivals, that, he still retains his speed. Air 'Laddie, who was down for an en. gagement at the Dannevirke meeting, is regarded as a fair sort, and it is more rhan -likely that he will be sliin-

ped to Australia to do his early racing there. ***** The race tracks of New South Wales were very Ward during July and early part of August, and according to reports, the Queensland courses were more like iconerete, (with the result that Oratrix and Seatown were sore, prior to their running in the King’s Cup. ***** Seeing that (Gilgai finished third to Roman Abbey and Brigadier Bill in the Egmont Steeplechase last May, and a few weeks later ran third in a hack hurdle race on the same course, it came as a surprise to find him losing half a furlong in the first four furlongs of the Hawke’s Bay Hunt 'Cup last Saturday. In the next mile 'Gilgai made up most of this loss, but a little later was pulled up. ****»' Looking particularly bright after a lengthy spell. Star Stranger was a runner in the sprint handicap at the recent meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Hunt Club. He was not poniinent in flu’ running, but as only £l7 was invested on his chance, obviously his failure wa's generally expected. * * ’ *• * « During an interval at the Hawke’s Bay Hunt meeting last Saturday a big batch of tiwo-year-olds were introduced to the raieing public bv being sprinted over a ‘couple of furlongs. Over twenty youngsters took part in the different heats, and while a number had little idea about galloping, others handled t heniisel vos reniark'abl v well. 1 1* * * # « In Chrysology (Psychology-Desert{ Cold) and Rapallo (Grand Court- j Parley) Mr T. IT. Lowry has two par-1 (ocularly fine two-year-olds. This pair) not only Toolv the j>art, 'but they galloped very nicely at Hastings last .Saturday. Trainer F. Davis has them well forward in condition. * * * * « In the past, race meetings conducted bv the Taranaki Hunt Club have been most successful and enjoyable gatherings, and Saturday’.s fixture of our hunting friends (should at least equal any of its predecessors. * * • • • Of tin* sixlv-six nominations received for the next New Zealand Cup no less than seven of these horses are at present in Australia, viz., 'Oratrix Seatown, Xightniarch, Paquito, 'Concentrate, .Talotix, and Briar Root. In the past horses raced in the spring in Australia, have done exceedingly well on their return to the Dominion, so possibly the winner of the big tiwo mile handicap is amongst the seven mentioned. ***** It transpires ’that. followers of trainer F. D. Jones’ stable have for a considerable time anticipated Paquito improving sufficiently to prove very hard to boat in even that difficult mile handicap the Epsom Handicap. Judging by Paquito’s success at Rosehill i last Saturday expectations of such ini-; provomont in the gelding named were not misplaced. Although not a smart beginner, Paquito proved cq'ual to beating a number of high class ihandi- i cap performers over a seven furlong course last Saturday. When that is taken into consideration Paquito should he much favoured in ithc Epsom handicap when there will be an extra furlong to ,cover. 1 Pnganclli made his first, public appearance in Australia at Rosehill last Saturday. He began with all his old brilliancy, but the seven furongs of the race proved too far for the son of Lord Quex after his respite from racing. indications were not wanting in Wellington that Pnganclli was fancied for his engagement, so his third placing would not be very palatable in well ( informed circles. Paganelli looked somewhat on the light side just after his arrival in Sydney, so il is possible thur he .will do bettor later.
