NOTES AND COMMENTS

, rßi GlJncoi.] Hie Wellington R&oing Club's fjumtner Meeting will commends 06 Trentham to-day and will be oontinued on ' Friday and concluded on Saturday. Special race trains for tie coutbs to-day Will leave To Aro Station at 10-21 a.m. and 10.39 a.m., while from Lambton Station there will be six special trains leaving at 10.10 a.m., 10.19 a.m., 10.37 a.m., 10.55 a.m., 11.4 a.ifl,, and 12.0 p.m. In the Trentham Welter, whioh event !tvill open the proceedings, Jem, who has won three races on end, may be the public choice, though Prince Laddo, adouble winner at Tnuherenikau, and Black All, w'ho has a private reputation, are sure to be well fancied. . The two-jear-olds which will contest the Nursery Handicap are not a firstclass lot. Nones, the Dunediit Slakes .winner, is giving a stone to the next ,on the list. _ This is Interlude, who does great thiags on the tracks, but so far haß failed to repeat it in her raoes. The locally-owned Taringamutu has been galloping very well in her work. •The top-weight may start favourite. Crown. Pearl and Square Deal are at ■the head of the list in the Anniversary Handicap. • The former has always failed over a mile, but Squaro Deal goes that distanod exceptionally well. He is likely to be much fancied ! to-day. St. Elmn will probably be scratched, ftttd started later an in the Cup. Croesus, Who will havo the services of 'Deeley, will be at 4 short price ifl the Trial Plata. The field is a large one, but there are likely to be several withdrawals on acoount of the gallop done by the faVOUrite in company with Bimeter on Monday morning. Sinapis, the top-weight ill the Cutl, has turned very sour, and had to be backed on to the traoks yesterday Morning. Kooya is a doubtful starter. Kilrain, who-was too good for Ladoga in a spin yesterday, eoenJa to be coming back to form, but his efforts in public this season have so far been. much below his best form. It is said that he was not able to show his true form at TauherenilcftU owing to his tongue getting over the bit. Indigo is likely to be in great aetaand, and on public form the support js justified. . Before coming here, Byron ran a better gallop at Awapuni than did Bronze wh'en she won .the Autumn Handicap, The Martian gliding generally runs well on tSTs course, and, with Deeley in the saddle, he will not want for supporters. Pavlova and Bertrada may both find tho distnnee i triflo far, but this will idepend upon the pace in the early 6tages of the race. Pair Rosamond may be the best of the light-weights. Sartovna, the top-weight in the Buapefiu Handicap) is not nearly ready, y.rhe others are a fairly even lot, and a good race should result. With such & big pull in the weights, Elnperador may be preferred to (Autumnus in the ■ Waterloo Stakes. With the withdrawal of' Merty Roe, there will bo only four runners, the other pair being Sauci and Pariform. Contrary to expectations,: Gladiole will take her place in the Telegraph jSandicap. The straight cottrse will )iofc assist the chestnut mare, and Downbam may be too good for her. Binteter and Beldame, will both have plenty of supporters, and so will several of the light brigade. This race is generally yotod the most open of the day's oard.
