NOTES AND COMMENTS.

(By "Maecenas.")

W. Dwyer has no less than nine horses in work at 'Waveriey. Dwyer should do well at the Ideal meeting next week. \

Marqueteur is engaged at both Wellington and Waveriey meetings, but it may be found that the good son of King Mark will t>e sent to Trentham to race. .

Muraahi. is going on the right way in view of his1 New Zealand Cup engagement. The next appearance in public of Campnre's son will be Trentham, where a couple 'of races will nt Mm for the Riccai-ton engagements. Kafour cut up badly over- the last part of his race at Ellerslie, but may make amends in a hurdle Vace later.

Rational is doing well at present, and promises to be at his best from now on. Many consider AbsiirdTs son leniently treated at Trentlham, but, considering the class engaged, Rational is just about on His correct mark. .

Uupidon finished on well "In seventh place in .the Metropolitan, Handicap (one mile five furlongs), and, seeing how well seasoned Mason will have him, S looks as if Uupidon will be very hard to beat in the New Zealand Uup, for which; event the right people have supported him.

' Racing at any time is a most deceptive business, and the recent contests between GrToaming and Beauford proved no exception, and in the contests the best judges in Australia were out in their judgment/ That excellent authority "Pilot," of the Sydney Referee, admits that he was not once correct in picking the winner. , •

Inah is going well, and on her showing at Marion the daughter of Coronet should take a/hand in the settlement of the Brewer. Handicap at Waverley. Up to_ the: present, Roman has only been tried over short courses, but I understand the brown gelding will be a runner for the Waverley Cup~ (one and a quarter miles). It was intended to put Mixture into work immediately, but the daughter of Nassau got. foul of a wire, which means a forced retirement.

J. B.Gaisford's team will not be at Waverley, but Mattock will compete at Trentham.

It is stated that Tame Fox will be spelled, but, I understand the son of Volpone will be a runner at Waverley, to try and win the Cup two years in. succession.

Glenotus, which won the Maiden. Steeplechase at Pakuranga, is by Glenullin (a son of Lochiel), who performed welj in these parts about a decade, ago.

Mark-Time is still suffering from the effects ql a kick received at Otaki, and, as the/owner is. not prepared to take any risks with the King Mark gelding, he will not be raced lor some .time. ° The following records of winnings of various well-known racehorses are taken from the Dominion:^—
