NOTES'AND COMMENTS.' fnv Glencoz.i The Takapuna Cup meeting will he opened to-day. Cheddar (H. (.<ray), who was recently purchased by Mr. J. Hawkins, of New Plymouth, will mako. his first appearance in his new owner's colours, and is likely to bo well supported. Tho rehearing of C. Emerson's ease, which was referred back to the Cantorbury Park' stewards, will tako place cn February 0.. Acceptances for the Kgmont and Taraliaki meetings -close to-morrow night. ■' Weights for tho Canterbury Jockey Club's Midsummer Meeting are duo tomorrow, and acceptances close on Thursday next. i Weights for the Wanganui Cup and Flying Handicips are due on February 7., ■ . Owing to rheumatic trouble, J. H. Prosser has been compelled to relinquish his duties for some tune, and he leaves to-morrow night for a month at Botnrua. During his absence, his team will he controlled bv H. Telford Los Angelos is to fulfil hi;t engagements in the Egmont Cup, and goes to Haweraon Saturday. H. Gray will ride the chestnut gelding. On arrival in .Sydney recently, F. Wootton jumped on to tho scales and tipped l the beam at 10st. 71b. This would make it appear 'as if his riding days arc really over. Trior to the start for the hurdle race on the second day at the Foxton meetinn; it was discovered thai at least three of tho jumps at the back of the course had been lowered. The hurdle's were put- back to the right height., and tho action taken by _ someone will form the subject of investigation by the stewards who opened an inquiry into the matter , on the course. A yearling by Devonshire from Happy Valley, purchased by Mr. H. .R. Gaisfortl, of Oringi, is to join the remainder of that gentleman's team at Torirua, The Wairarapa horse Sir-Solo is being kept in steady work .it Opaki in view of his Wanganui Cup engagement. It is riot generally known that the first-Auckland Cup, run on tho F/llerslie course some fifty years ago, was won by the late Mr. W. Dorset with a horse called Volunteer. The owner of Sir Solo, Mr. F. Dorset, is a nephew of the owner of'the first Auckland Cup winner, making a rather interesting coincidence. Sinapis, who has shown 6uch excellent form this season, will probably be sent over to Australia, next autumn, her mission'being some of tho long distance races. Being such a fine stayer, the St. Ambrose mare should add to licr laurels on Commonwealth courses. It is reported that the three-year-old Counsel, by Yasco—Silkgown. has been purchased fro.ii ill*. 0. D. Greenwood by tlio .Riroarton trainer, K. Emerson, aitd lie will probably bo sent to Australia. Emerson is at present looking out for other horses for the Australian market. • The West Coast owner-trainer, \\. ■ ponnellnn. arrived at Ricrarlon' on Sat--1 nrdov with Morton avid Missile. ( Ihc\ will be raced at the summer mooting of ' the Canterbury Jockey Club _ and at 1 other fixtures extending into tlir autumn. Mr. C!. D. Greenwood will have two more, promising two-vear-olds (o ropre- . sent bini shortly.
