Noddor, who was hurt at the recent Ellerslie meeting, has mado a good recovery, and was riding work on the Egmont tracks last week. The fields for the Scurry events at Feildiug contain the names of a few horses that have the reputation of being very smart over short courses. Amongst these may be mentioned Alecto, Lord Lupin, Neirene, Otter, The Dodger, and Lucerne. The last-named pair liail from Hawera. . Tho cross-country rider, W.
