NOTES.

Nominations for tho Woodville Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting close on February 2nd. Los Angelos is to fulfil his engagements in tlio Egraont Cup, and leaves lor Hawera to-day. . H. Gray will ride tho chestnut gelding. On arrival in Sydney recently, F. Wootton jumped on to the scales and tipped the beam at lOst 71b. Lhe New Zealand-bred horses, Aeroplane and True Knight, figure among the entries for tho forthcoming Hobart Cup race. The re-hearing of C. Emerson's case, which was referred back to the Canterbury Park stewards, will tako placo on Thursday next. Frank Wootton has applied for a jockey's license to the A.J.C.. This may mean that he will ride at the A.J.C Anniversary Meeting. Bonny Knight, who is engaged in tho two-year-old Lyttelton Plate at the C.J.C. Summer Meeting, is a colt by Boniform from Nightingale. Sunbeam and Daylight Rill were given a run over four hurdles at Riccarton yesterday morning. Daylight Bill gave a very hjiicl p__.formance, but is inclined to be**a little reckless. Sinapis, who has shown such excellent form this season, will probably be sent over to Australia next autumn —her mission being some of the long distance races (says a Wellington writer). Refresher, an English-bred 14.2 pony, is the champion of his inches in India. Recently at the Calcutta Meeting he won a five furlong event with lOst 71b. Dorando has made his re-appearance on the Wanganui tracks. The San Fran gelding "will in all probability be taken to Australia for the winter racing, if he trains on all right. On the close of the W.A.T.C. Perth Cup Meeting Mr P. A. Connolly handed the committee a cheque for £50 for distributing among the charities of Perth. This is an annual gift of his at tbe end of the Cup fixture. Owing to rheumatic trouble the Porirua trainer, J. H. Prosser, has been compelled to relinquish his duties for some time, and leftlast night for a month at Rotorua. During his absence, his team will bo controlled by H. Telford. T. Walsh headed the list of winning jockeys at the Sydney pony meetings for tho year ended December 31st last. He had a total of 492 mounts. Of these, (33 were winners, 41 seconds, and 30 thirds. His winning percentage at £3 would como to £189, and the losing rides amounted to £349, making a total of £538 in fees alone. In Sydney the following horses have been purchased by Mr W. Schmidt, on behalf of sporting mon in Germany:— Gyarran, by The Saxon—Swan; Glee Boy, by Game Boy—Piscator mare; Dunmore, by Charge; two "Scottish King geldings, and the show jumper Whitefoot. Theso horses will be put to steeplechasing in Germany. Our special reporter telegraphed from Dunedin last night as follows:— "The Forbury Park Trotting Club's Autumn Meeting. will be concluded tomorrow, and according to present indications, there should be some very interesting- racing. The weather prospects, however, are not too promising. The wind, which has been blowing for the past three days, has dropped, but rain seems to be threatening. At present thero are fourteen engaged in the Forbury Handicap, but it is reported that Pearl Child may bo withdrawn in favour of her stable companion, Gian-. Ella, who is very consistent, but veryunlucky. Glendalough, who is a fullsister to Innisfail, tho winner of the , Dunedin Cup on Wodnesday, will receive a good deal of support. She has plenty of pace, but is by no means well behaved at tho post. Ivy Dillon, who did nob .start on Wednesday, is also well spoken of, but sho has yet to show that- she can go two miles 6UOcessfully. Red Mac did not seem to appreciato the wind on Wednesday, and he may show improved form. On tho first day of the Wairoa County Racing Club's Annual Meeting, held on Tuesday and Wednesday last, tho princinal ovent was won by Immensity, 9st 3tb, with Trieze, Sst 121b, second! and Rongomau, 7st 91b, third.
