Eudorus was a strong favourite, though ho weataied ■ somewhat Ijoforo tho starts Moisture was expected to suit Eudorus, who likes the sting out of the ground.i However, the Doncaster Handicap wiflner_.(Jolly Beggar) proved master of. tho English horse.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

- [BY Glencob.] The Australian Jockey Club's Autunih j meeting will he concluded at Randwick oil Saturday. A regrettable incident occurred in connection with tho starting of the Kotocawai Handicap at Tauhcrinikau on , Easter Monday. Full Hate, who was left at tho barrier on tho first ilny, got a iiying start on Monday, while the favourite, Exertion, was badly left. This incensed tho crowd, and they vented their feelings in the usual way. .Bulletin, who won at Hiccafton on both days, is an aged half-brotlier by Pilgrim's Progress ;to the champion Bobrilcoif. So far ho has not shown any form which would warrant the opinion that he will ever "be much more than, a second-rater. • \ ■ Acceptances for tho first day's events at tho forthcoming Wellington meeting ; close to-morrow evening at 9 o clock. Ceylon broke a blood-vessel while racih" at Tnuherinikau 011 Monday, but she seems little the worse for her experience, rfiid at Trenthain- yesterday .she was as gay as a lark. 11. Hatch was originally engaged to ride Byron, winner of the Feilding Cup, but, at the last moment, he was unable to do the correct weight, and had to givo way to C. Jenkins, who rode one 0* his best races oil the Martian gelding. . ' Dearest arrives' here from Auckland this morning, and will be sent back to 'Porirua. So far it is not' decided whether or not . the brawn maro will' race at Trenthain. Waitoto, who was formerly trained by his owner at Foston, is now. at Trenthain under the pare of C.'-I'ritchard. The C.J.C. meeting just concluded was one of the most, successful gatherings held by the Canterbury body. Sir Cieo. Clifford had another good innings, and tho two weight-ior-uge events went to his colts, Nightwateh . (Champagne) and Autumnus (Challenge). Tho convincing form of tho former clearly entitles him lo be ranked -as tliq premier voiingster of tho year, for his . do■ ' feat, of Mowbray in both races was .most decisive. The Chokeboro colt began slowly in the first, event, and, as (hey rati on to the course proper, ho was giving. Bortrada and Mowbray a good six lengths start, but he then started to' overhaul them, and, after a sensational race got up in time to win. In the Challenge Stakes, Emerson had the mount on Autumnus, and Bell rodo Nightwatch. With any luck -at all tho latter would have won. In the straight the two-year-old hung out badly, anil Bell could not keep hitn in. 1 This caused him lo lose- a lot' of ground, and the watchful Dec-ley slipped up on the rails 011 EiTtparador, but, just as the latter appeared cprtain lo scoff 4 , Autumnus ap- ; geared on the scene, and, keeping Night- ( watch straight, t'he trio fought out a great finish. Tho bulldog—tho '.three-year-old—asserted itself, and he crossed the lino a head in front of Nightwatch,

with Emperador t'lio fame distance away. After winning the Great Autumn Handicap at Hicearton, Bon Ton pulled up very lame, and it appeared as if ho had broken down badly. It now turns out, however, .to bo nothing serious, and, several times in the past, the Bonifonn colt lias been similarly affected. 'Tho seat of the trouble is difficult lo locate, some holding that it: is in Ihe foot, and others that the shoulder is ail'ecled. Seeing (hat the colt gets over the ailment quickly, the "shoulder" theory would appear to be the correct one. '.11l well-informed circles Bon Ton's victory in the Great Autumn Handicap was

generally anticipated, but, after the good showing of the little blown follow in tho Easter Handicap, it was certain that he would start favourito in Tuesday's race, lie won (though not by much), but, as far as could lie seen, nothing, that finished behind him would defeat him wero the race to be ru-run. Oliver, on Bronze, once moro showed his partiality for the rails, and only on a single occasion would ho got out, and that was to pass a couple of horses. Over the last part of the journey ho got a clear passage, which made it appear as if "Bon Ton would always account for t'lie Higlulen maro at the same weights. In Ogier, winner of the Autumn Nurspry Handicap at Iticcarton, Mr. .T. B. Keid has a more than useful two-year-old, who should develop into a fiuo three-year-old. On Tuesday lie was under (lie whip for fully a furlong, and tho way in which he stuck to his task was. a sight to see. Had he been beaten 110 one could cavil at his performanco, aud in marked contrast to the display of his 'rider was that of liis opponent on Bertrada. , Tho • latter was doing her best when Ogier caught her, but, by cardul nursing, she was enabled to see out the distance, and only suffered defeat by tho narrowest of margins. Ventura, had everything beaten a long way from home in the Great Easier Handicap, and it was only a question of lie; seeing out the distance. The Traquair filly was caught right on tho top of her form, aud her display wits n great improvement on anything which, sho lis > shown iu pnhlic since the November Riccarton meeting. Hastings trainers fully expected her to win, as, before leaving lor Riccarton, she galloped on tho Hastings plough in Mich a manner as to suggest that it would take tometlijng very good indeed, to defeat her. '
