NOTES AND COMMENTS.

I .';. . IBi Qle.ncob.l Mr. W. If. Tuck motored out to Trentham yesterday to see Antarctic. If he continues on the right way, tUe crack •'chaser"will' be'sent on to Kiccarton for the National Steeples. An interested spectator nfc Trentham , on", Wednesday was tho Hastings horseman, F- D.- Jones. His collarbone is .mending satisfactorily, and ho should •soon bo seen in the .Middle again.' "Pnritntu is to be ridden in the National Steeplechase by A. Julian. Last year's winner has -been galloping and jumping exceptionally well since coming to Trentham. . Fresh horses engaged at Trentham on Saturday are Sea King, Mulga Bill, and .Sir Know The trio are engaged in tho Winter Oats. Tho first-named has been, brought up from the south, and is to be ridden by L. King. Mulga Bill is to have A. Oliver in the saddle, and Sir Kuox will be ridden by A. Watson. As; a result of his easy. l win,.in,,,.the Parliamentary Handicap, Cbronottecl yesterday became, ; Javonrito fpry, the National Hurdles. pftrting'g pfice is well;known, and, in "affdition to"this, he is a good jumper. He is to bo ridden by -TV. Young. v Mount Victoria and Peary have both incurred slb. penalties for' the Winter Cup. The latter will probably go out of favour in consequence of this penalty, as the class which he beat at Trentham was \nofc good. ■ The Rover is to be taken home to Bos-ton..'to-day, and will'finish his preparation there for. tho National Hurdles. He was not jumped while at Trentham, owing to the btid state of the going, but, at I'oxton, the track is of a sandy nature I and.always furnishes good.going." "Tribune" writes: "As that aiijust body the Macing Conference is about to sit-in Wellington to adjust some of the disabilities horse owners, trainers, and tho racing lire subjected to, may I ask if there '■is any;possibility of ll» elucidation of that most mysterious account (to wit) the 'Accident Fn'ntl , ? 1 ask on account of bonuses-being handed'out (ad lib)- by metropolitan racing clubs to himdicnppers, etc. It is only right, in the interests, of raeinjr men aiul tho public. that soma, reliable information should to' given, considering the enormous amount'of money which has been paid into said account for years, and the trivial.amount which "has been expended on injured jockeys.. I think, in tho interests of.racing, if .this'fund hns accumulated. :(o the;extent credited to it by rncins men; ; '.it would bo in the. interests of all. concerned .to' relegato the registration of: horse* tfnd colours to ancient history." ' - ' • Tho Highden hor?es that are to compete at tlin Australian Jockey Club's sorimj meeting arrived from Palmerston North at midday yesterday. They are to be shipped to* Sydney this afternoon. AVhen the last mail left England, the Australian?,jocke.v,.P. AVcofton, had ridden nearly'so,winners, and was at the head of the list of winning horsemen. ' During. I). Moravian's trip to Treutha'm. lus team at Elle'rslie is being koVod' after by the light-weight horseman, C. Brown. ' Advocate is again in work at Ellerslit, | uiidsr.tke care of If. Stemiing. Valido,:'the Enjjlish-bred, but New Zca-l.iiHl-owiied-liorst, now in Sydney, is engaged bii ' 'Saturday in the Granv.ille Stakes, one mile, lo be decided at Itosshill races. ■■,- '.- '~'■■ : Bully continues to register good irorit on the flat nt.Ellci?lil\ nod (according to the,"New Zealand.Herald") will probably journey to>Eiceorton for tho Grand National Hurdles. Th? Freedom gcldin? does not require much schoolingover fences. ■ • ■ ' ■ - - English files" juVt to hand mention'thal Tagalie's. defeat in-the -Oaks., was attributed to the heavy goiiig. ■'■' The Hawke's Bay Jockey Club had twn notices of motion on the Racing Conferenco order paper. yesterday for thj» purpose of doijijf. away with shwt-distancd races. One of .these' wns to tho effoct that "no horse three years old and n[ijvards shall- start in any handicap run ;over a distaneo. of less than six furlongs." The othcß provided that no hurdle race 'euoutd'be run over a distance of loss than a mile,'and three-fiuarters. Both motions gave rise to considerable disciiA. lion', but both were iiltimately rejected. :A motion in tho opposite direction (moved by the Greymouth Country Clubs), that in the case of a one-day meeting no race .should be over a greater journey than a niile, was also rejected, a.n<l by ait overwhelming- majority. • Jlr. W; ft. Bidwill's motion, "that all licinsre be granted by o liuensin-, , oommitteo of thu'.i conference," was disouMod -at great, length by ' delegates ywterday, mid , support of the president, but on being put to the meeting it was -.lost. i. .'■'•■.. /',.... ...
