THE TURE.

NOTES AND COMMENTS, [Bx Glencoe.] Tim H.ivera horseman, T. Trask, is de> tiiued in Wellington with Triple Crown. He is awaiting an opportunity to got a hoit for the \Vost Coast, whore tho Cheshire mare has engagements next week. Trask arrived in town at. tho latin end of last week, but, owing to tho rough weather on tho coast, he has been unable lo get away. Tho Mopourika is due to sail this afternoon, and 'pace has been seenrcd ou her. .1. Harlow, brother lo the well-known New Plymouth horseman of that name, bus taken Ketua to Grey mouth. The Oblig.ido gelding will not meet a very formidable lot on tho West Coast. He should consequently be equal lo paying his way. Tho vietory of The Parisian in the Melbourne Cup gjves his siro Bobadi! a fine lift in the winning list. "The Australasian" says:—"Tho slraugo thing about Dobmlil is that, while ho was a very delicate horse in training, nearly all his slock are hardy, cut-aml-comc again horses who will raco every day of the week." There will bo racing at Timaru to-day and to-morrow. I'eport.s from the north state IhatSoultifotrn has gone amiss, and has heen turned out. At New Plymouth.-P. Johnston is.preparing a. handsome big four-year-old filly (by lloyal Artillery) for racing. Sho has the reputation of being a fairly fast galloper. Nominations for the Manawatu Pacing Club's meeting closo on Friday with the club's secretary, Mr. ,T. M. Johnston. There will not be a ve-.y representative field in the St. Andrew's Handicap' at Fcildiug, and if Goldfinder, who is to have ihe services of \V. Young, continues to train on he will start a gowi favourite. Tho I'Tving Handicap promises to provide a difficult problem for backers, and if Nybnd, Bliw, Dazzling, and True Shot ell go to the pc^ l all iatcro-ting contest should result. At. the Newmarket Woodstock sajes. °" October 12, Tasso, a half-brother (by Ormc) to Cyllene, wiu sold for 125giu.' Word bv the English mail states thnt a syndicate, with a capital of JC30.000, is being formed to keen Willonyx (Willimn the Third—Tribonyi) in the country in tho cveut of his owner deciding to sell. During the present season Willonvx won the Chester Cup, tho Ascot Stakes, the Gold Cup, and tho Cewrewitch. No other horse has triumphed, in the same four events in oue season. I'. Cameron's fee under the percentage scale for the Melbourne Cup ride on The Parisian amounted to JA3O, while G. Lambert earned .E167 for his winning rides on Wilari in tho Derby and the Oaks. Sharp-shooter and Moloa both won races at tho Williamstown (Vie.) meeting ou November 10. Another Now Zea. land horse, Tumut, ran second to Sharpshooter.

I The retirement of (ho Victorian owner, | who races as Mr. "K. S. M'LcaJ," is to be regretted (.-jiys the Sydney "Re-, force")- Ho was a liberal buyer at the Eaudwiek yearling sates, nnd purchased many four-figure lob. Recently he gave lOoOgns. for Dnnard (WallaceBonnie Rototte), and yesterday told him for 800gn>-., while the three-year-old Scouscr (Miil.ster—Warfare), for whom ho paid as a yearling realised Stiffens. Auiisdalo (Malster -Dolores), a 120flgns. purchase, only reached l-iOgns yesterday! 'flic most successful of tho horses for which "Mr. M'Lcod" paid a high price as a yearling was lolairc, wlw cost him H2(kjns. I. Foulsham, who han hitherto trained for "Mr. M'Lood," purposes residing in Sydney in future. At a mooting of the Jockey Club, held at Newmarket on Octolxr 11, Lord Ro.sebory brought forward his motion to add as Section (ii) (o Rulo 15:—Xo person shall act or adjudicate- as steward in a caso where tho running of a liorso is involved in which ho lias any pecuniary iuterest ; and 6kould any person so act tho decision shall bo invalidated, and the caso referred to tho stewards of the. Jockey Club to bo reheard. Tho proposed' addition was fully discussed by tlio club, and, the- general opinion being that it was unnecessary, Lord Rosebcry withdraw tho motion. Lord Londonderry-reminded tho members that the rulo relating to four-furlong racing for two-year-olds had now been in forco over seven years. Ho had always been against fourrfurlonp; racing himself, and ho had reason to think that theso short races had not been altogether successful, and wero becoming unpopular, and ho asked tho stewards if they would ascertain what was the general feeling on tho question. _ Lord Derby said the stewards were quite prepared to do this, and if necessary would make some suggestions nest year for an alteration of tho rule.
