NOTES AND . COMMENTS Cuiragrno, the Gtumhl NaliQnal Hurdle Eaco winner of VMS, wa.s sold recently at Auokland for 17 guineas. The amount won by Mr G. W. Greenwood at the Trentnani gathorins was -£5iU, not £2lO, as previously stated. Southern horses that have been running at the Wellington meeting left for Lytteltan last night in charge of their respective trainers. Ulenspring, who ran well in the Kaitoke Handicap at Treutham, and his stable mate Curator, will represent Blenheim at the Diicedin meeting next month.

Tho many friends of J. Hathaway, the Awapuni trainer, were glad to see his colours being: carried in a creditable manner at Foxton with Lcolanter and Marathon, bath of whom won races.

Lawn Rose, who got left at tho post in tho New Zealand Cup, and, thus lost any chance she had, is doing well .at Blenheim, and all going well in the interim tho mare is a sure starter in the W-anganui Cup.

Tho sum of .£6G6O was dostributed in stakes by the Wellington Racing Club for their three days* meeting at Trenthani. This amount was divided amongst thirty-five owners, the highest of which -reoerivod .£985 and the lowest .£lO-

It is /reported that several of the yearlings purchased by Mr G. D. Greenwood at tho Waikanae stud, sale are destined for the Argentine, where thoroughbreds command high figures. It is hoped Mr Greenwood's venture will meet with success. .

H. Jackson, of Feilding, has been rewarded ■ by his perseverance . with the unruly Adria by that mare winning the Foxton Cup and returning a substantial dividend. The mare is well enough bred, being by Stepniak—Fariryniaid, and should'be aible to gallop.

H. Davis, in charge of Bobrikoff and Downfall, will leave for Sydney by the Moeraki this afternoon. Mr Lowry's representatives are engaged in several events at tho Randwick autumn meeting. It has not yet been decided who will pilot the. pair in their engagements on the other sidle.

Mr Morse's weights for the Cup. and Flying Handicap are due on February 12th.

Mr Messena, the Foxton- owner, experienced a bit of bad Idck by beinj* deprived of the stake won by his gelding Waitoto at Foxton, through .the lrorso bran/j ridden by a licensed trainer who also was tlse trainer of a horse m the same,event. Owners should mate tn'emlaelrvejs conversa/atJ with the rules of racing with a view to minimising risk of this'- kind. - ■ '

The DaKnievirke Racing Club has ifl. sued an attractive- bill of fare fox. a two days' meeting! to take place on March 9th and lOtfh. The Cup, to be run an the first day, is endowed with .£3OO, wfolilst tho Autumn Handicap, to b* run. on the second - dory, is - worth .£2OO. The stakes in tho other events are all worth winning.

Hushandman, who ran third in this year's Wellington Cup, and Armlet., who ran second in the Telegraph Handicap, filled, similar positions at . last year s meeting. '.'.', Writing of Mr Hardly Boulston, the reoesmtily appointed stipendiary steward to the Calcutta Turf Club, the "Indian Planters' Gazette" says:-Our new friend's reputation. has preceded ham, and those .who have seen him at ,work down under say that we .shall find we now have indejd a. "chiel amangus fVk-m' notes." H© is said to be a holy teSor • to the" evildoers-the jS tiffeners, thVstuffers, -the whole corps darmee <w wrong 'uns: and they know that they canmot hoodwink him whatevermay bo possible with more confiding people who to authority over them. If only Mr Roulsfcon is "given his head we shall, we expect, see things begin to "hum" a bit.
