NOTES AND COMMENTS.

U3x Ulencoe.l Acceptances for tho Hawfco's Bay meeting, tho weights for which wero published yo3terday aro duo on Friday. A. J. M'Flvnn, who sustained injurjwhen Icel fell with him at Ellerslio, ia at present at tho head of tho winning list of hurdlo horsemen so far as tho season has gone. t 110 will now havo Lo miss tho Hastings' and Napier mootings, but may be in time to rido at Gisborno, where last year he won tho four steeple, chases on tho iprogramme.

At Wanganui, oil the second day of tho winter meeting, Goodwin Park, ; tt reecipt of 61b., comfortably accounted for Darby Paul in. the May Hurdles (nrilo and three-quarters). At Eastings' tlio Siir aro down to meet again _ in tho awke's Bay Hurdles (two miles), and Mr. 11. Coylo has allowed tho St. Paul gelding 71b. on account of his defeat fast month. This allowance and tho extra two furloags should bring tlio two horses together. L. Traill will _ ride Goodwin Park, and Tim Jones will bo up on Darby Paul. Jlr. H. Coylo, hanaicappcr to tho Hawko's Bav Jockey Club, holds a very high opinion of Nyland as a hurdle horse, and, in asking him to concodo weight to Idealism and Ooronfittod-not to mention several other winners lower down tho list—ho has indeed paid tho Hichden horse a big compliment. At Otalci last week Nyland fluked Sea. Queen, to whom ho was oonceding ilb.i and at Hastings there is a sto™ between them. Mr. Coylo apparently thinks that Nyland is susceptible of considerablo improvement, ana in this, perhaps, ho is tight. It eeems hard for tho hflfldlcappers to got out of their heads that Nyland won tho Winter Cup in 1910. and the. Stewards' Handicap during tho fob is Biich a perfect jumper oper hurdL that it will not be surnnsi, 41b in tho Woodlands Hack Steeples at Hastings, but Mr. V. D.. Wilson's gelding is hardly likely to bd a runner, .-as ho was sent homo lo Bulls. at usion of the Wanganui meeting, it is, or course, possiblo that his owner may decide to give him another chance, but he made a lot-of noiso, when racing at tho passengers by tho outward bound Sydney boat yesterday w» s MrE Henrys (who is leaving to bo present at tho wedding of his daughtei , R. J. Mason, who took Bmperador, ChcruMni, and Banksia (Achilles— 1 lortiflla) to laco at tho A.J.C. Spring meeting, and jockey C. will in future follow his to race Falsetto at tho Otaki meeting, and C. Emerson was engaged to rido both her and Altcar, but the bay maro was not accepted for. She is not amiss, however, and will be a , ner in tho lieretaunga Handicap at Hastinirs on Wednesday week. _ Those who saw Sartorzo raco at and Dunodiu speak highly of tho barto colt and a good future is predicted for S n The imported Bnghsh horeo has ot had much clianco to distinguish himself vet but it only needs him to cot "one good one", for breeders to inquire for him. It is strange that such a well-bred .hor.i has not'had better opportunities 11 Talking'with B.' J. Mason yesterday, he informed tlio writer that ho ed to be back in tho Dominion about the middle of October, and his horses would be engaged at the New Zealand Cup meeting. Chcrubiiii is not, as has been stated, engaged in the A.J.C. Derbj, and Mason will not have a representative m that race. Ho is not enamoured with tho prospects of any of the trio earning high laurels in Sydney, and the trip is being undertaken more for a h . cl " ,n [' evade tho rigours of tho winter m Cantor '"There is some talk of tho importfed lion Malaohi-sire of the Great Norlhorn •Hurdles winner, Marton, ana iormcriy owned bv the Government— being brought back to W Zealand.
