• Acceptances for events to be decided on the first day of the North Otago Jockey Club's meeting and nominations for the Trial Plate and the Shorts will close to-night. The winter meeting of the Now Brighton Trotting Club will be commenced to-day. Very heavy acceptances have been received lor all events, and excellent sport should be •witnessed. It is probable that one or two ■candidates for the Derby, which is to be Vun on Saturday will be seen out to-day. Forest Belle will probably be raced at the JDtaki meeting in preference to being sent 1o fDunedin. . , . \ Leolanta, by Conqueror—Fair wind, winnor of the M'Rae Memorial Handicap at the Eg'mont meeting, won this; event last year undor Bst 2lb,' slb less than he carried yesterday. This year his form, though consistent, has 'not been so impressive as it was last autumn. There is still some doubt as to the nature 'of Gladiole's trouble. She has been lame #ver since the Manawatu meeting. Stardancer is now being hacked about, the iioads daily. It is to be hoped that this useful galloper will improve with her respite (iom active work, and show us her true form %gain next season. j M. Hobba is now breaking a promising 'yearling colt by Charlemagne ll.—Siberia. This ooK has been ridden, and appears very /•nwnable to his new duties. I Eight- of the Choke-bore Lodge yearlings ,lave been ridden, and are out exercising Wily. They present a promising appearance, knd are generally considered one of the best- " Hooking lots of youngsters that have come tfrom the successful. Stonyhurst Stud. The Great Northern Hurdles candidate, Composed, was offered ftp sale by auction rn ihe morning of the second day e racing at Hawke's Bay, but failed-to elicit a bid, and was.passed in. HiS stable companion, Sleacombe, was also offered, but in hie case also bo bid was forthcoming. The reserve placed "ftn him was 300 guineas. Ibhar will carry Mr James Bull's colours In the Wanganui Steeplechase. The two-year-old Canpeador, who is a " half-brother to Danube, was to have made his debut under silk at the HawkeV Bay meeting, but the son of Charlemagne was cast in his box on the evo of the. gathering, and had to be withdrawn from hiß engagements.

Mr Ryves Webb and his staff are at present busy erooting the jumps for the big steeplechase meeting, which is now close upon us, writes " Achilles " in the "N'anganui " Herald." The .obstacles, will be the same as last year, except that the hen coop at the bottom of the back - strek'h is beingerected on number one truck, instead, of being on the course proper, as formerly. This alteration will mean that the horses will negotiate it tho first and second times round, but will not have to clear when covering the last mind. It will be remembered that this obstaclo caused a couple of nasty falls last year, but it is contended that it was not the height of the obstacle which led to the disasters, so much as that the horses had to negotiate it in the last stages. of their journey, and when they were very tired. The alteration will obviate this, and henco tho heii coop shou'd not lead to so many falls.

Antarctic was (riven n spin on the track at Wnngamii recently find moved very freely, but later on showed signs of lamene'S. "Whether or not the gelding will stand another preparation remains to ho scon. R. Reay, the well-known trainer, although he rode at the rece.nt Forbnry Park Club's meeting, was far from well, and since his return has not made any improvement.
