NOTES AND COMMENTS [By " Augub."] Nightmare, full-sister to Polyca'ste, gave a very creditable display over hurdles at Pahiatua. yesterday, and being in such capable hands as J. Cameron's, the mare should do well. Purukau credited Mr W. C. Tally, the popular Wairarapa sport, with a win' at Pahiatua yesterday, and paid a nice dividend. The black gelding was always in a good position, and won decisively. Jjongmer has been scratched for all engagements at the forthcoming meeting of the Wellington Racing Club. * The Canterbury-trained Prim has been withdrawn from the Wellington Cup. J. Cameron, the Feilding trainer, is getting a useful team together in Blend, Nightmare, Arcadia, and a Mauser gelding .from Letheirin's dam. Some wins 6hould he secured by this one-time successful cross-country rider, who has deserted the pigskin for the training track. Aberration returned his supporters a substantial dividend in the final race at uiiatua yesterday." This comes as a surprise, seeing that he won. the last event on the previous day and paid a very short price.

Acceptances for the Wellington Cup and Telegraph Handicap close with Mr .v'hyte at 9 o'clock to-night. Mi-' G. P. Donnelly's hurdler Gold Seal, who was taken to England last year, acquitted himself well in his exercise work, but according to advices received recently there are doubts as- to his being a competitor in the ne *t Liverpool Grand National in March next. • . Judging from the following, the "Times", is apparently not the only paper at times submitted to embarrassing inquiries by some of its subscribers. Writing to a Northern Elvers exchange, a correspondent signing himself Disputants" (O.K. Mines), asks:—'At the races here on the 23rd inst., one sport took-a wager of 20 sheets of hark to one about a', horse, and he won. Now, should the lo«er- deliver.the bark to the winner, or should the latter go to the bush himself to where the bark is stacked and take delivery himself?" The editor of the journal referred to was evidently equal to . the occasion, as he replied : "There -being no 'Tattersall 6 at 0.K., the bark should be kept in the loser's back yard ready for delivery on application. In future it should be bark up, or no bet."PAHIATUA KACING CLUB SECOND DAY. SPLASH'/WINS PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP. [By " Augur."] PAHIATUA, January 13.

The stewards of the Manawatu Racing Club, after holding a long and exhaustive inquiry into the running of Equitas in the Summer Handicap on the first day of . the Manawatu Christmas meeting, has passed resolutions to the following effect:—After, hearing further evidence from the owner,' and his explanation with regard to the betting on < Equitas-, *tho inquiry,- so far as concerns the owner, be not further proceeded with. The stewards are not satisfied that Oliver pulled Equitas with the intention of preventing her winning th"s race.
