NOTES.

Mere has changed hands, and is now being trained by E. Sooullar. Nominations for the Wyndham Racing Club's Annual Meeting close this evening. ' ■ . Acceptances for the New Brighton T.C.s Summer Meeting close to-mor-row evening. In consequence of her win at Hororata on Saturday, Myrene has, boon ■penalised' 9sec in the -Trial Handicap at New Brighton next Saturday: It transpires that that Mr L. G. D. Acland has disposed of Query to Mr E. "H. Taylor, and the chestnut gelding goes into A. McAulay's stable at' Riccarton. '.'■■

Glenongley and Sveaborg. who pulled up lame after racing at the South Canterbury Meeting, have again joined the active brigade. The former will be sent to the West Coast very shortly.

The latest addition to R. J. Mason's team is the four-year-old bay gelding Valhalla. As a two-year-o!d this gelding had the refutation of. being able to -gallop very fast, but unfortunately met with an accident while running in the paddock, and he still bears a very unsightly scar on one of his knees. G. Murray-Aynsley has , disposed of his two year-old filly Bee, by Martfan— Lady Disdain, to a patron of R. Longley's stable. It is more than prcbablo flint this filly will bo sent to Melbourne, and as she can gallop fast she should pay her way at the pony meetings. r Counsel, the winner of the Hororata Cup, was offered for public sale in Ohristchurch at the conclusion of the Oun Mooting, the put upon th.3 gelding being 100 guineas. He would so-cn have paid his way if he had ohnntrpd hanrls at that moderate figure. Whilst doing a gallop on the beach at Poririm last Wednesday, the Bezonian filly Melpomene ran into a post and was badly staked, an artery being ruptured. Sho is under veterinary" treatment, and it is hoped she may be saved, but her injuries are such that she may never be able to race. A c.ilile message from Melbourne says that Mr <Sol Green has purchased the English stallion White Star for 8000

Euineas. White Star is a fop- year . He is by Sundndge from Dons, and Ster a brilliant two-year-old career was well fancied for last year, s De rby . ixe vss favou.it« for the Two Thousand Guineas, in vrhich he finished fourth. His eocccss as a three-year-old was confined to a vauHrrer for the Heme 0..k Three-year-old Plato of £ = 00, one mile. Jhu season he has shown a return to his former brilliance, and if he is thoroughly sound there is no reason why he should not win a good race or two for .Mr fareen before Being retired to the stud.
