NOTES. Wellington weights appear in this issue, and the experts will be doing their best to find a hole in them as usual. Colonel Soult heads the battalion in the big race, as was expected, and Taringamutu is next up. The fields are very big, and the acceptances should be relatively large.

Bon Eevo has come back all right, and more victories may be expected from the gelding who was once heavily supported to beat Bobrikoff.

Estland, F. Davis's candidate in the classic event, got beaten by Vagabond, but the unbeatable trainer made up for it later by annexing the big handicap with Balb.aa. The latter, according to one returned enthusiast, is bigger, better, and brighter than ever, as a well-known circus advertisement says.

Hector Gray's application for a "brief" got as bad a deception at the hands of. the Australian Jockey Club as the Kaiser's peace terms. The ex-New Zealand crack horseman may have to buy another farm yet.

Captain Macky, whose death was chronicled last week, won during Ids career the sum of about £2OOO in stakes, which means that sie must have shown a slight profit. His owners are reported to navo another good young one running on the place where all the expenses come from.

Old Wooloomooloo never hit his proper gait at Napier Park, and looks like going back into the massed for'mation of "has beens."

Beltane failed to sec the full distance out at the Park, and may be only a rumour unless he shows a disposition to go on with things with more staunchness.

W. Bell, the Highden horseman, will have the mount on Disdainful in the Dunedin Guineas.

The hot thing, Trentham Rose, who was backed in cheques, pounds, halfcrowns, shillings and pence at Kurow, reads like a false alarm. She headed the field at the distance, but retired when Bellrock put in his claim.

Roy Reed rode a winner at Kurow, but the other North Islanders are among the missing. C. Emmerson rode a winner, and F. E. Jones two.

Corporal William Allan, reported among the Australian killed at the front, is said to be the first registered layer of the odds to fall.

T. Metcalfe, the Highden apprentice, who was injured when Abalone fell with him while racing at the recent Wanganui meeting, was discharged from the Wanganui hospital on Friday, after spending a fortnight in the institution. He seems to have quite recovered from his injuries. He is returning to Palmerston this morning.

Good news for Sports. A\f. Man on has just received another shipment of those hats which enabled so many sports to pick winners at the winter meetings. Call in and make your selection early as there is bound to bo a rush to pet one of these fashionable articles. There is also a fine selection of new ties, and those who wear a Mahnn hat and tie are sure to do well at all the maetians.® •:,■<
