NOTES AND COMMENTS!

■ - [Bγ. Gi.es'coe.] '■ The Grand' National' meeting at Eicearton .will be advanced' a further stage. today, and if the present fine weather continues tho, racing should he interesting. Tho principal event is the Grand National Hurdles, in which, as a result, of his fino .display on Tuesday, Tho Hover 75 a firm favourite. The possible ■ starters and their rid«rs are:— Black NortherrifJ2& 21bi ..'srif/ Tnbtri'pJon Paisono,. list. ..ljlb. ..T. N. Jones Sa&^!^-!!::™!-¥^ The Native,, ldst. 131b. .; W.

Coker Tlio crack Ohokebore three-year-old Autumnus broke down Ixidly at Eiccarton yesterdaj- morning, and it will bo impossible for luin to go to Eandwick. His trip will have to bo abandoned. ; The trouljla was in the knee, and made itself manifest after a; gallop on the tan with .Taskmaster. ,Tho injury A. Oliver received last w«ek is not improTing'as was expected, and 110 will return homo by tho steamer leavin" Lyttelton to-night. . ' Crown Pearl will mako his first appearance under .silk , at Eiccarton in the August Handicap this afternoon. He has been galloping very well on tho tracks, and is lively to be a good favourite. The race Sea Queen had in the Winter Cup is calculated to dp the Trentham mare a lot of good, and if she runs up. to her form of the opening day it will tako a good horse to' beat tho St. Ambrose rnaro in tho long straight at Eiccarton. For the Beaufort Steeples to-day Captain Jingle has been raised 161b. for his National win. Questioned yesterday. Mr. J. Hennah stated tihat providing the horse was , himself and had not neglected his manger ho would ,hs a runnei , to-day.

My Ga-onni, who won the bis inilo and a half race in Brisbane vesrerday, under the'crushing impost of lOst. 81k, is in a class by himself among the ■ Queensland horses at the present timo, just as Bright Lodie was a year. ago. My Gavonni failed with 9st. 131b. in the mile and a quarter Moreton Handicap, at the last autumn meeting at headquarters, but ho subsequently - dead-heated with the two-year-old Simla at weight-tor-age, and this, in conjunction with a recent win on the Snndgato course, when he carried lOst. 51b., impressed the handi-cappc-r to such au extent that ho put him tip to lOst. Blb. for yesterday's race, the minimum being 6st. 71b, The big weight allotted the Biickmaster goldins was not sufficient to bring about, his retirement.
