NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE. TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP. The three-year-old Gay Court lightened up a good dea' as the result of his racing at Wangatiui las! week. lie was very forward foi the meeting, and the gallops did not effect am' improvement in him. The Trentham trainee .) Kvle. who was unable to fulti 1 Geraidinc engagements this week with Bright Sour owing to an attack of influenza, hi<i> recovered, but the malady is goiiic through the stables, and the latest victim is It Pritchard. The Flying Stakes candidate Croupier was out working on the inside grass at Avondi.le yesterday. when lie was restricted to steady pacing. Croupier is still showing signs of his cold, but he looks bright enough and it is unlikely that his trainer will send him to Iho post unless ho considers that his condition is satisfactory News has ho'ii received at Trentham that Eai'ly Cup. the two-year-old member of H. B. LonguiAs Sydney team, ricked himself recently while working and will probably be returned tr New Zealand. Eurly Cup had been goin well at Randwick. He is a bay gelding by Tea Tray from Bonny Dawn, and is o\vned by Mr. R. J. Murphy, of Wellington The A.J.C. Bleeders' Plate was his mission Cable messages to Australian papers show that the Two Thousand Guineas and Derby winner Cameroninn, who started an under even money favourite fee the St. Leger this month, disgraced himself and ran last. in (he result of t'*e raco cabled to New Zealand papers he was not mentioned at all. it appear).that he played ur at the post, kicking other horses, and his rider, F. Fox. stated nfterwarls that the colt fairly went mad and ran himself out very early in the race.. After Cancronian won the Derby opinions differed as to whother he was n real champion, but his form was palpably wrong in the St. Leger. as he had previously shown himseli a high-class colt

Nine Wchi. the four--yen i-old sister to Pnkiteie and half-sister to Toxeuma. recently rickot a joint when galloping at Trentham, and as improvement has been slow, her trainer, A. Goodman, has blistered her and lef hoi up until the injury has thoroughly mended. Hine AVehi lias had only four nice.* yet, but. she whs showing much promise in her work when the eetbnek came against her Goodman still hits Lady Rene out in (ho 'paddock. This mare was badly galloped on in 'he one race she had at the Grand National meeting, and it may be some lime yet before she is well enouith to resume work. Goodman states that the injury is very alow in healing.
