NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE. I TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP. Nighlinarch is n regular worker at Ricenrton and oil looks truck-watchers expect him to come to hand quickly. Tho death has occurred at Waverley of the imported horao Callaghan, sire of tho last Grand National Hurdles winner, Callajnart. Tho Wellington gelding Shootist ran second in tho Trial Stakes at Gre.ymouth last. Saturday. In tho results lolegraphed to morning papers he was wrongly placed third. •Gustavo is giving his new trainer, F. P. Claridge. some anxiety. His foot is much swollen and may take some, time to respond to treatment. In any case, he will not bo required to race until tho autumn. Cricket Bat's leg trouble will keep him out of action until alter the Wellington meeting ivt least. H. Cutis will probably lake six horses to that fixture, mimoly. Ball Dress, Winsome Hind.

Cimabuo, who pulled up with a joint after his win in the Palmerston North Stakes, is still out in the paddock. It will not be known for a few days yet whether he will stand another preparation, but it is doubtful. On the other hand, Lady Rone, who was thought to have finished her career when she pulled up lame at Tauhorenikau last Saturday, is sound again and was working to-day. Woatherstep, who wns able to run only once during tho holidays and then developed an ailment, is all right again. Ephialtea waa vory sick and sorry nfter his race in the Manawatu Cup, in which he fell, but he also is improving. Tho Manawatu Cup was rather a disastrous race, as Lady Pam, King Colossus and Eijhialtes all suffered from injuries received in it. TROTTING FIXTURES. January 16—Wellington Trotting Club.
