Friday is'gGiicrally an off day with trainers at Wingatlii and though Several horses wefo biit this motning they were. almost entirely - restricted to easy work. Jack Ashore and Simon Puro escorted Ogior over a useful mile, a task which was negotiated in lmin. 51sec.,! the Charlemagne II colt drawing to the front at the finish. He was, howo-ver, distinctly lame in the near foreleg after working,, and is an unlikely starter at tlm Cup meeting. The only other fast work, aft of which was done on the plough, was accomplished by Quirin'us, who cantered the circuit and then came over six furlongs in a pleasing stylo in lmin. 18 4-Ssec. —a rafter attractive gallop considering that the going was father loose. Quirintts walked back soundly enough, but: after cooling down he was lame in the near fore-leg, It is thought that he has sprung a baek_ tendon, but it is considered doubtful if he will start next Week. •_ ' _ ■ Others out during the morning were Odessa, Mount Victoria, Roumania, Tommy, Rongahcrci Obsono, Te Tararaoa, Gapon, Pepmn, Pride of- Clntlia, Lady Lowburn.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

TBT GiEN-eoE.i Class is not very prominent in tho fields engaged in tlio Wnodville Meeting . next week, but tlio acceptances received are nevertheless very fair, and'a good meeting should result. Whakahoki, a runner in tlio Maiden Plate, finished •second in a. sim'lar event at the club's December meeting. Quito an indifferent lot <>f hack hurdlo Jiors.es- are in commission at. present, and the field in tlio Hack Hurdles tit Woodville is on a par With those seen out at Hawera and Now Plymouth. In tlio Gup event tamer, Mangaroa,, and Mysteriach are a useful trio, The horses in tlio Hack Flat Handicap are not a good lot, sii-d tlioso engaged in tlio open sprints nro not of'» high order either. In the President's Welter Handicap there is only a stone difference between the top ; and bottom weights. Weights for the Wanganui and Baft" nevirkc Meetings are tine to-day, Those for the Nelson Sleeting arc duo on Monday. _ Acceptances for the Danucvirke Meeting close on Tuesday evening, Friday nest is acceptance day far the Wanganui Meeting. Jockoyg Deeley.iind Berry wont south last evening oa their way. w the Buno*

din Cup Meeting, which opens on Weditcsdoy next. The Aivajiuni trainer E. Watson intends schooling Papamaratea over hurdles. Attention is again drawn to the salo of tiwroughbrod horses at Kingan's stables, Trentiiam, on March 2. Tho catalogue includes tho stallion Field Battery, siro of many good winners, and also tho racehorses Sonitc, First Battery, George, and a full-sister to Adroit. B. J.' Mason took Eiirpefador and Canute to Wangamsi yr?storday, and later during the samo day ho was joined by lioiwontro and Historiotto from the south. Tho reported salo of tho lastnamed' ftliy was without foundation. Tho Summer Meeting of tho Woodvillo Jcckey Club talces place on Wednesday and Thursday next. Wallace Voting, wlio has jnst finished a twelvo months' period, of disqualiiication, has again been granted a by the Wangantii Cowmittee, and nflll bo in tho saddle at Woodvillc next- week. Lord Lupin, tho winner of the Stewards' and the Grandstand Handicaps at tho Taranaki Meeting., is a well-bred five-year-old horse by Lupin—Torida, by Torpedo—Streamlet", by Muto—Rivulet, by Javelin—Cascade, by Sledmere— Waterwitch, by Cainden—Mermaid (imp.). Tho Chokebore two-year*olds, FirstFlight and Botanist, have been gelded, and thijy will bo given a good rest baft) re Cutis takes them in hand for nest season's racing. Tho Rotsrua Jackey Club's Meeting was commenced on Wednesday lit fine weather, and before a record attendance. 'Ike sunt of £6520 10s. was put through tho totalisator.

J. Mason may regularly race fiomo of his team at these meetings. It is a Wonder that, moro southern owners do not. send their horses north, for this stakes at. the ligniofit Sleeting are abovo the average ruling in tiro South Island, and aro likely to bo still further increased nest season. The chestnut mar® Gold Cup, wlvo used to bo owned by R. Gooseman, of Hasting, was sold recently jit Sydney for 250 guineas, Sho Wai in fan! to tho imported horse Mtirillo, A colt by the same horse from Gobi Cup brought 75 ..guineas at the same sale.
