NOTES AND COMMENTS. {By Glencoe.] The acceptance? received for the Ihwke , - Bay and Marlborough meetings are up to standard, and, given fine weather, holli clubs should have satisfactory meetings. Since it became known that. A. Oliver was to ride Midnight Sun in the Hawkes Bav Cup tho Miill-iform three-year-old has come in for a sood deal of supjiort. and the opinion is held that, in the past the luii-se may have suffered through not having the services of a strong horseman. Antarctic was awarded list. 31b. in t'ho Vniden Hurdles at Avonda e, bill, wasI'lot , accepted for. Presumably (hn crack sfeoplechascr is not rijrht yet,, and his public appearance this season may be at Wun»onui next month. Three members of C. PritchanVs teamMount Victoria, Ceylon, and Blue Lake— ji-u-e been entered lor the Ashburlon meetin?, which i-. to be held next week. f-itc-t reports indicate th.it the favourite'doubles for the Jlawko's Bay meeting •l n>'l ho Sfcad-ownetl pair.

The filly bore a bright appearance, and her new owner should lie well plenfof! with her condition.

Potoa's defeat, in tho Nursery Handicap at Avondale on Saturday was a severe blow lo lwekevs. O'n tho opening day he finished second after having a very bad passage, ami, yesterday, ho was backed as if ho only had to start to win. On (.ireat Autumn Handicap form it does not appear as if Masterpiece ctm hnvo much cl.-aiicn -nf deft-atins Los Aiißclos in the Tlawke"s Hay Cup, in which they will meet, on similar terms to those on which they mot at Kiec-u-ton.

Iho Multiform colt, will still lw 71b. better off than lie was at lik-carton, but it has to be remembered I hat Los, Angelo.s won "very easily" down south.

Mount Victoria, who was among the winners at tho Manawatu meeting last week, is closely related to Ceylon, who was on , the first day of Ihe South Canterbury fixture. They arc both by Signalman, while their dams are both descended from the Muto inaro Primrose.
