WALLACE ISINGLASS. By TtilATflD) 1 —"Prppp Aae^'MaHnn—Ooprrtclit (Uec. September 22, 10 p.m.) Sydney, September 22. Wallace Isinglass has resumed training. NOTES AND COMMENTS IBY '•ILENCOB.I Entries for the Masterton Moetirig close to-morrow night at 10 o'clock. Those interested, are reminded that acceptances for the Horovrhenua. Meeting close to-night. ; The Geraldine Meeting will bo held today and to-morrow; In the galloping 'events-there are likely to bo some very : popular horses, notably Master Hamilton, Moltchikoft and Gunrest. ' ' Latest advices from Wanganui say that Banksia has an enlarged tendon, and her trainer is compelled to have the'injured member hosed for several hours each day. The profits from the Wanganui Jockey Club Spring Meeting-are to be devoted to the patriotic funds. . _ There are new .horses in-tho Maiden Race at Wanganui to-day. Marconi is an H'nglish-bred horse in A. Hall's stables. Strabo copies from Kt>,ramu,and Sedd-cl-Bahr is by Vasco from Shawno, and comes from the Highden stables. The latter . will be much sought after, though Moutoa Queen and Harlequin will be well fancied,, as will Seadoun, a member of J.-W. Lowe's'team. In 'the Guineas public form certainly points to Nones, and in Deeley's hands she is likely to be much in demand.

The Flying Handicap looks tho best of good tilings for Binieter, but the good work at Trentham of Taringainutu will ensure her plenty of support, and the form shown by Mia Cara at Marton will keep her in the public eyo. Bimeter looks trained to the hour. The six acceptors in the Okehu Hurdles are all to start. The fact that' Ruatangata is seasoned will assist him' against the others, but at Riccarton Styrax ran two good races in first-class company. Those who favour,supporting a lucky jockey will be interested to know that W Adams is to pilot Styrax. C. Price will bo upon St. Gate. Were Master, Achilles, seasoned with a race he would look good for the- hack Sprint event, but he may require sharpening up. Depredation',; a. New Plymouth • candidate, and Spain, a winner at Dannevirke, may be the best'of the others. 'Recent form points to Fortify in the Spring Handicap, and in tho" Durie Haok Race the Feildin»-trained Bronk Delaval will be well fancied,, as he is reported to have improved 'a good deal since he finished so well in the Maiden Handicap at Marton. , .
