NOTES' AND COMMENTS,

[Bs Glencoe.] Owners should not neeS reminding that, up till 8 o'clock to-morrow evening, Mr. E. J. Gothard will take acceptances for the spring meeting of tho Woodville Jockey o]ub. The meeting is to he held on AY cdnesday and Thursday of - next week. Styx has been left in the Feilding Stakes in error. The Achilles colt has * bad cold, and will not be seen under silk for some time to come. B. Deoley w*s ensaged to ride him at Feilding, but he will now require to look round fcr another mount. A horseman of his .ability is not likely to he on tho ground when 'the race is being run.

Monoplane, who has been showing winning form at suburban meetings in Sydney lately,. is a sure starter in the Auckland Cup, in which she has been weighted 7st. The daughter of Monoforin is being shipped from the New-South Wales capital to-moTrow, and will arrive in Auckland on Snnday. A returned visitor from Sydney, who flaw the mars racing there, states that she has improved a good deal, and he regards her as very well treated in the Auckland Cup; Were the more .to be nominated in the Sydney Cup, his opinion is that she would not get in with a. pound less than 7st. 12lb.

A private message from Sydney states that Continuance, was actually sold somo time back at a substantial figure, but tho buyer stipulated for a veterinary certificate, which was not forthcoming.

A Melbourne authority states that the new owner of Shuja bought the Soult horse with the intention of winning the Armidale Cup with him, but, on the day of tho race, he was' very sore, and could not start.

Mr. W. Scott, who has just rotumed from i a trip to the Sydney and Melbourne meetings, states that the critics on tho other sido all agrce that the Multiform colt, Berragoon, is the best two-year-old seen out for many years past, and soino of them go jo far as to say that ho has no rivals. At the present time it is difficult to get ft price aoouthim for next year's Derbies. ■

Lady Medallist, who has now gone to tho stud, is to be mated with Wallace. The St. Alwyno mare cost 90 guineas as a yearling, and won over ,£IO,OOO in slakes. Her victories included five cups, amongst thorn being the Caullield Cup.

The owner of Prince Palatine has been offered JMO.OOO for that horse, but as, according to English authorities best qualified to givo an opinion, there would 'be no difficulty'in filling the son. of Persimmon's list for two or three seasons at a 500gns fee, Mr. Pilkington may think it ffpol enough to keep him.. Prince Palatini has proved a lucky purchase, as, leaving stud possibilities out of the question, he has already won something over i£Bl,ooo in stakes. In four wins this soison he earned

The money subscribed to "Tattersall's''' sweeps on the Melbourne Cup this year totalled JB175.000; Metropolitan, .275,000; and' Caulfield Cup, .£50,000. The I'asmanian Government reaps in stamp duties Bd. in every .£l, in addition to a 5 per cent, dividend tax on the prizes, This year tho Tasmanian Government has derived .£58,750, and "Tattersall's" nearly •£7f),000 in commission, the total amount contributed by the public being .-£775,000.

Mr. J. Brcnnan, who won the Newmarket Handicap in 190G with Pendant, and the samo event in 1908,wi(h Scotland, had his colours carried to victory by Jocasta (by Voter—Popo Joan) in the College Nursery Handicap at the Windsor meeting in England on October 10. There were li starters, and Jocasta was ridden by the New Zealand jockey, L. H. Hewitt, The winner is American bred.

. With the sale of Vice-Admiral, Allegory and Teviotdale, the stable controlled by It. J. Mason will now shelter only two-year-olds and yearlings. A couple of exceptionally well-bred youngsters havo just been brought in from Ilam, and are being handled at Riccarton. These are Moonglow, by Treadmill—Sunglow, a full sister to Sungod, by Multiform—Otterden, and Bmperador, by Charlemagne II —Lady Wayward (imp.), by Ladas—Vane, who was by Orme—Vampire, and consequently full-sister to Flying Fox. Teviotdalc, who was sold last week for 300 guineas, has gone into the stable presided ovor by G. J. Pine at Riccarton. Pine's principal patron is the Christchurch sportsman who races as "Mr. C. Machcll, and it is assumed that, he is the. new owner of Teviotdale. Bobrikoff, who iia.s been allotted Sst. Blb. in the Auckland Cup, ran sound to All Red in this race in 1908, and on. that occasion had Sst. 12lb. in '.he saddle. In view of the good form tho black horse showed at Riecartonj it looks as if tho handicfipper has taken a risk with him. On the other hand, it must be remembered that Bobrikoff has x yet to win ever a greater distance than twelvo furlongs. FIXTURES. Nov. 27 and 30—Takapuna J.C. Spring. Nov. 30 and Dec. 2—Feilding J.C.
