NOTES AND (By ‘'Carbine.”) This week there, trill he racing at Masterton, Dunedin, and AvondaleGeneral entries for the Auckland spring meeting have to be made by Friday. Wellington, Waverley, and Witchelson Crp (Auckland) acceptances close on Friday. On the same day forfeits are due for the Champion Plate (to be run at Trentham), and _ first forfeits are due for the Great Northern Guineas and the Auckland Welcome Stakes. The well-bred KiHowen, who .won the last Winter Cup, is in .the private sale list owing- to too death of his owner. . i Several of the Trentham trainers who have horses engaged at Masterlon leave for Opaki to-day, among them being J. Ayres, C. Pritchard, and J. Dows The Wellington mare, Eose Pink, is to race at Dunedin, after which she will go on to Eiccartcn to complete her New Zealand Cup preparation. C Pritchard has a good-lookingf bay fiUv in his stable who has been very aptly named. The youngster is to ran as Capping Day, and her breeding is Abscrd-Graduate. ' , Twenty horses from Trentham stables are* engaged at Masterton, and practically the whole of them wih make the trip. ' , , The successful Auckland handicap horse, Glen Canny, who is engaged at the Wellington and the New Zealand Cup meetings, has arnved at Irenthani. The season Is young yet, hut at present die Eiccarton horseman,. C. Emerson, is at the head of the jockeys’, list. Others well up are J. O’Shea, A. McCormack, and JB *Mt W. E. Kemball, who headed the list of winning owners last season, has accepted for fifteen of his horses at Masterton. He has two in nearly every race,- and must hold a strong hand in the decision of some of the events. ' ’ ~ Regent, who won a double at the recent Avondale meeting-, was bought as a. youngster for 200 guineas. Ho is by' Marble Arch—Bahama, and was not raced as a two-ycar-old or as a three-year-old . , Pershore, who carries the colours or the ex-New Zealand sportsman, Mr E. J. Watt, has on several recent oecas-, ions demonstrated his quality. His good third, to Poitrel and Kennaquhair when they dead-heated, his win on the occasion of his next start, and his close third to Poitrel and Kenna-quhair-in the Sandwich Plate on Sat; Urdav, show that he is a first-class gal--1 leper. Even ' with the penalty he has incurred he should bo hard to heat m the Melbourne Cup. Pershoro is by All Black—Perseis. Perseis was by Poeitano—Circe, by Castor- —Cissy, one of the Frailty family. It is reported ’ that General Advance has changed hands, and the Auckland "Herald” says it is understood that a well-known-, southern sportsman is the buyer. The latest victory registered by Comrade in France is held by some to support the view that it was fortunate for the winners of the classic events In England that he was not accorded a nomination. The value of the two races won. in France by Comrade would run out at about £15,000, «o that his record is well ahead of that of the other three-year-olds racing in tho northern hemisphere this year. Swift Flight, the three-year-old Eng-lish-bred colt bought in the Old Country by Mr J. N. Hcslop, of Auckland is (according, to the "Herald”), a colt of commanding physique. Ho was got by St. Frusquin (one of the sons of the celebrated St. Simon), while his dam. Maxima, is by the Derby winner Ayrshire (son of Hampton), and his dam, Eose Melton, claims a Derby winner in Melton as her sire. As showing how < some jockeys’ mounts are backed.' it may bo mentioned (says tho "Star”), that horses ridden by H. Gray at the recent Avondale meeting carried no less a sum than £10,25" 10s. They returned in dividends £7396 15a 3d.
