NOTES AND COMMENTS. V;

, [Br GLBNCOE.I > Acceptances received'for the Foxton meeting are a record for tho club, and good facing should result. The meeting takes placo on Tuesday and .Wednesday next. Mr. R. Wootton's brood mare Bama, who is half-sister, by Rampo, to tho English Derby and Grand Prix winner.; Spearmint, was sold at the Newmarket (England) December, sales for -1500 guineas. She was in ■ foal to the Carbine ; horse ' Fowling Piece., > A Wellington buyer recently priced Carolus (Charlemagne ll—Nautiloid), but. as tho price asked for the half: brother to Pilgrim's Way was 600 guineas, no business resulted. L. Graj - , late private trainer for Mr.. F. S.' E-aston, has sot up • as. a public trainer at- Foxton, and Lady Laddo andWaipaku have been handed to him to prepare for future engagements. . As train arrangements for recent raco

meetings jn tJio North Island havo left a great cloal to l>o desired, the Wellington facing Uub authorities nro making special .oftorts to induce the Railway Department to provide an adequato and speedy service to oope with tho crowds which are expected to journey from Wellington to Trentham on Wednesday, ifcursdnv, and Saturday next week. In Uto past, the running of tho race trains between Wellington and Trentham has given mo to numorous complaints, and, generally, tho special service amounted to 11 reflection on tho Railway Department, tii however, tho secretary of tho racing club is sanguine that tlicro will ho no causa for complaint. • Meuschikolt gelding, Turbine,' who is to leave Auckland for Sydney on Monday next, m cliargo of T. A. Williams, has boon entered for tho Newmarket Hanaiosp nt Flonnngton. _ Acceptances for tho To Kuiti Racing Clubs meeting closo on Friday. . Several prominent horsemen intend being present at Foxton on tho oik ring day of tho meeting—Tuesday next. They will como on to Trentham on tho same evening. imongst tho number are: 13. Deeley, F. D. Jones, W. Young, and W. Price. Weights for the Canterbury Jockey Club s .Summer meeting itrc to bo declared ' after the second day's racing at Wellington, ' , Tho Auckland sportsman. Mr. Donald JrLeod has decided to send Kakauia to and, unless something unforeseen occurs, J, Thorpo will probably leavo for the other side about tho end of tho month. Kakama is very well just now, ai\d, as there are plenty of opportunities in Sydney' for placing Wscs, a stake or two should fall to the daughter of Soult. ■ Government_ tax 011 tho receipts of tho •Auckland Racing Club's Summer meeting reached tho goodly total of JM6BO. This, added to tho -C 1205 10s. reccivod from tho Auckland Trotting Club, means that ■ Auckland's Christmas racing carnival -, week yielded .£5885 10s, to the revenue of the; Dominion. . ■ It is'understood, that four business men (two in Wellington and two in Christ'church) eontemplato leasing tho sprinter Pilgrim's Way, with a view to sending him to Sydney, where, it is anticipated, tlio cliiiiato would suit him. The son of Pilgrim's Progress-has always been very . fast, and frequently he has covered six furlongs in lmin. _14sec. on tho track, .while on one occasion he was timed to ■ cover the distance in lmin. 13scc. in a race at Timaru. If negotiations for the proposed lease are brought to a satisfactory conclusion; Pilgrim's Way will go to Sydney in charge of Harry Thompson, wno, it is understood,\i»ay shortly relinquish tho- care of Mr. H, Friedlander'e horses. ' : i , A'i correspondent of the London "Sportsman," in a lengthy reference to what as known ,as "the Rentoul decision," concluded by remarking:—"Tho ; question raised is of considerable importance, especially .in the casc( of trustees in bank-, ruptcy. It has long\boen.tlio practice for bankrupts, truly or untruly, to attribute their bankruptcy to losses in horse-racing. It: lias been little use for their trusties to fully investigate those statements, for money lost in horse-racing lias been assumed to l>e irrecoverable. This does not seem necessarily to bo the case, • and it will, therefore, bo the duties of trustees to ; investigate these statements, and to see if money has been lost under suelp circumstances that it is recoverable." Judge Kentoul ruled that where payment of a cheque or other security, is given for an illegal consideration it is recoverable by law. In an interview before sailing from New York, M. Cheri Halbronn stated that the syndicate on w.hoso l>ehalf he bad : purchased Rock Sand from Mr.-August Belmont for ,£30,000 is mado up of shares held by thirty-four American, English, and French racing men. 'England is represented by Lord Lonsdale and Mr. Walter Raphael. Tho American contingent comprises: Messrs. Clarence Mackay, F. R. Hitchcock, F. J. Gould, Joseph Widnor, Charles Carroll, H. P. Whitney, arid Charles'. Kohler. The - best-known French names are thoso of JI. J. Prat, (owner of jlirsaka), M. Achillo Fould, M, Guerlain, and M. Cheri Halbronn himself. .Mr..: August Belmont is not ono of the ; members of the- syndicate,, but has. ttfo : nominations for- next year, and lias sent over on the steamer Minnewaska, on which Rock: Sand was also shipped, two of his best mares. Jhcv are lojiiary, the dam of Trftcorj-, and Golden ;Viow, dam of Rbck:Yiew, toth of which will be mated' .'with Rock .Sand'. f ' Both Labour Day and Culprit, who jit will bo noticed) are second stringsin the Lowry'and : Stead stables, were yesterday • supported for the Cup and Handicaps at Trontham. The first-nam-ed raaro is all the better for the racing which-she had at Ellerslie, whilo to stable mate; Bobriltolf,. may not be. Ellerslie form has also a lot to do Willi the support accorded Culprit. ; Nominations for tho Taranaki Jockey Club's autumn meeting close at 9 o'clock to-morrow night with tho club's scoretary, Mr. E.
