NOTES AND COMMENTS.

[By Glencoe.] Sandstream, who competed nnsuc- , cessfully at Feilding, went home to , Hastings. on .Friday, and consequently may not bo seen out at Woodvillo. 1 The Stratford-owned Patrobus was sent from Feilding to Waitara on Fri- . lay, and will be raced there on Thurs- \ day next. This will mean that lie will ' not bo seen under silk at Woodville. 1 His mission at Waitara will be the Cup, in which ho should have no very great opposition to contend with.' The first of the visiting contingent to arrive at Woodvillo were Merrie Lawn and Millennial, who put in an appearance on Friday afternoon, i H. Donovan redo two winners at the . Hororata Races, and H; Price, J. Pine,i W. Holmes, and R. King rode one f each. 1 Nominations for tho.Wairarapa Raej ing Club's meeting close on Fridaj j next. 1 At tlio Hororata Racing meet- ■ ing on Thursday last, the principal " event, the Hororata Cup, was won by : Aunt Sally (Royal Artillery—Gipsy r Girl), with Puaka and Martino in the ' places. Busyland won two events at ■ the. meeting, and the other winners jn- ' eluded Queen of Spades, Frivollitti, and ' Grand Slam. .... ./ j Judging by'the easy manner in which lie disposed-of ; . his held in tho Man--chester.--Handicap at .Feilding, it.would- - j appear- as if Mendip. is a hotter horse nov, 1 than ever lie was before. . His ab--1 sence from tho Woodville Handicap of' " one mile and a quarter will have the effect of inking the race much moie, open. It may be; mentioned that though ' tho official time for his Feilding race was given as 2min. lOsec., several pri- ' vato watches made it considerably ' faster. j Singer, who has been on the easy list during her owner's absence ifl Eiik- ]. land, was produced at Feilding, but 1 as she was in a white foam before i leaving the birdcage, her failure to gain 1 a situation was nothing but 1 wliat was f expected. However, she' showed a bold . front wbilo her condition lasted, so i that it should not' be. long before she j again passes the post a winner, i Clemora was taken home to Now - Plymouth after racing at Feilding, and - will not be seen at Woodville. Clarc- - mont has also gono home to Waverley. : Master Soult has been withdrawn ' from all engagements. at the A.R.C. meeting.. ' . ? Apparently the rumour that all was " not well wi'th Vice-Admiral after the , C.J.C. meeting was all too true, as * the well-bred colt has been withdrawn I from tlio whole of his A.R.C. ,engage- ■ merits. ' 1 - Since tho Dannevirke meeting, Gus" - Manning has been training Sublime at 0 Woodville. 3 The nominations of Vi and Canadian - for the Woodville meeting came to hand - too late to bo received. On Feilding • form Canadian must- have been difficult 1 to beat at Woodville with a penalty v of 101b. 1 ■ Midnight Sun (the two-year-old full 0 brother to Noctuiform and Nightfall) f is engaged in tho Maiden race at Woodville. The other two-year-olds* entered " are Sir Knox and Ruapotangi. B The accommodation booked for Men--1 dip at Woodville has been cancelled, ? and it may therefore be presumed that he will be sent up to Ellerslie. With s luck he should win a middle- £ distance handicap before the Auckland carnival has concluded. Winners at Feilding have incurred the « following penalties at Woodvillo: — 1 n Hack Hurdles, Merry Lawn (101b.), ~ list.' 31b." Grand Stand Hack, Merry 1 Frank (51b.), ' 9st. 101b.; Patrobus (101b.), 9st. lib. Woodvillo Handicap, Mendip (101b.), Bst. 101b. Flying Hack Handicap, Vibration (101b.), 9st. 51b.; 'I Jackpin (101b.), 7st. 121b. Borough ; Handicap; Full Rate (81b.), list. '31b. n Welter Hack Handicap, Patrobus (51b.), 10st: 21b. o On account of a bereavement in the i-(Owner's family, Moreo and Golden Age >, will not bo seen out at tho Woodvillo i, meeting. ' o Full Rale's form of late has been so good that it is only reasonable to assume that he will run up to it - at Woodvillo next Wednesday. At Feild--0 ing on Thursday last, ho carried 9st. 1 131b. to victory amongst tho best r sprinters in tho land. ' In the Borough ), Handicap at Woodville he will meet a r much poorer field than he defeated at d Feilding. a H. Eva a-rrived at Woodville on. i Saturday' afternoon with Te Tikura, I, Miss Advance, and Higliden. _ Tho 0 last-named, who is paddock-trained, will be- ridden -by C. Emerson, who n scored on him at Danncvirke. o Koran was very sore after racing at v " Feilding, and wa.s taken home to Waverley with Jackpin. The pair L " named may be considered unlikely " starters at 'Woodville. Koran's next appearance will probably be in tho r Manawatu Cup. }' San Pluio (runner-up to Jaclcpin_ at Feilding) is engaged in tho Maiden Race and tho Scurry at Woodville..
