NOTES AND COMMENTS. j . fßr Qt.EticoK.l j A private telegram received from Christ-1 churob' yesterday states that tho condition of C. Jenkins is just about the same. Fbrjiiby will be ridden in the Electric Plate to-day by tf.e apprentice, H.' Watson. This may: not be Anything in the Karatnu colt's favour, but on tho other, hand, he is such a quiet horse on the mark, and such a brilliant bepnner, that probably tho youngster will only have to sit still on him. As this colt was credited with running .four furlongs in 49 seconds, with Bst. -lOlb., and' as'he has only list. Gib. to-day, it miy confidently. be expected that a new record will bo put up. ' While .exercising at ; Eicoarton yesterday morning, Mr. J. C. N, GriggV hurdle horse broke his leg. The crack Auckland colt Elysian was somewhat sore when being exercised at Jticciirton yesterday, and that being so it will-occasion 110 surprise if he is beaten in the Canterbury Cup .to-day. It was hardly good juogment starting the little fellow in ; the : Welter un Saturday under, such a big impost, but what probably influenced tho trainer . (Moraglian) was that he is such a bad track horse, a raco ahvays does lute:a lot.of good.
