NOTES FROM HASTINGS.

My Own looks none the'worse for her race at Wangauui and indications point to her running a good race in the Hawke's Bay Guineas on Saturday. _ Mr. D. H. McLeod recently purchased the three-year-old gelding Psycho (Psy-chology-d'Oro) from Mr. T. H. Lowry. sycho showed great promise when in *f as * two-year-old, but unfor- • S v- a setback, which resulted m his prolonged spell.

Queen's Choice is looking 'a very fit mare, and aa she has been staying on better than usual at the end of .her races she may pick up a handicap before very long. The Quin Abbey—War plane colt in K. Gooseman's stable is a useful-looking youngster, but may not be as forward as some of the others. He will ( race as War Worn. Sylvan Dell is'getting through her work nicely, and her recent failures should soon be atoned for. The two-year-old Courtesy (Limond — Homage) has been turned out for a month or two. The full-sister to Honour has grown into a somewhat gross filly, and a patient policy is being adopted by her trainer. Chrysology continues to.gailop brilliantly on the track and the future should hbld excellent prospects for the son of Psychology—--Desert Gold. His first start will be at the Hawke's Bay meeting and then probably the Welcome Stakes. Luke Wilson, who has the first two-year-old winner of the season, Simba, in his charge, has another two-year-old of Mr. J. S. McLeod's, who is showing early promise. This is jennie Diver,- by Lord Quex —Polly Peachem. The latter, mare is a half-sister by Feramorz to Runnymede, Raasay and Ganymede; • '_• Gascony has shown by way of his brilliant track work that he is in good form, With the tracks usually on 'the soft side he should produce, his best.form in the early spring racing.
