NOTES AND COMMENTS _ IBi Olencoj.l , Turfites will take their snort at Wangaiiui this week, when tlio Wanganui Jockey Club will bring off its Cup meeting. A good class of horse is engaged in the principal events, and the racing promises to be most interesting. J. Buchanan will steer the Karamu horses in their Wanganui engagements. Entries for the Master'ton meeting close on Friday next. The Waikato horseman, H. Robinson, rode four winners on the first day of the South Auckland meeting. His successes were gained on Gleuopal, Waiutu, Garry Owen, and Signo. When Mullingar starts in the Wanganui Cup on Thursday it will be the first time in his racing career that the Marble Arch gelding has been asked, to sport silk out of Auckland. Ho is to be ridden by T. Chaplin at Wanganui. The rivals for the jockey championship, B. Deeley and J. O'Shea, were both riding at the South Auckland meeting. The former scored on Glenspire, but O'Shea failed to land a winner, and they are still neck and neck for the honour.

Many who were present at Woodville last week called on F. Davis to have a look at Desert Gold. The • champion filly looks bright and well, anil all continuing so in the meantime, she will be produced in the New Zealand St. Leger nt Trentham on April G. and in the Gold Cup two days later. The Awapuni Gold Cup is her next engagement, and it takes place a week after Trentham. It. is quite on the cards that Panmure will oppose the filly in one of her Awapuni engagements.

Considerable surprise was expressed in Melbourne recently when it became known that the V.R.C. had decided to reject the entry of the imported Syndian. a fancied candidate for the Newmarket Handicap. The entry was rejected under a rule which gives the club power to act and give no reason for their refusal. The imported horse was purchased in England by the well-known horseman, F. Bullock, for his brother-in-law, H. Lewis, brother of the well-known rider of that name. Since the trouble the horse has passed into the ownership of Sir W. Cooper, who gave loOOgns. for him.

The Victorian Amateur Turf Club's Autumn Meeting will be concluded on Saturday nest, when the Nineteenth Caulfield Futurity Stakes (seven furlongs) will be decided..

The Commission on Horse Breeding in England made it' abundantly clear that hunting is a great military asset to the country, therefore, says the "Birmingham BosV those masters who keep packs going under exceptional difficulties until better times arrive are fulfilling a patriotic dut-v. Hunting cannot be carried on without servants, and a goodly proportion of these joined the Army soon after tho opening of hostilities, and many havo made ' the great, sacrifice. As far as the Croome hounds are concerned, the master impressed on his men the necessity of attesting under the Derby grouping scheme, and six weeks ago the whole of those of military age (nine) had signified their willingness to ' serve their country by joining the various groups. .

It.hos often been said that the English Derby of 1913 ,should have never been taken from Craganour,, and tho following remarks by "R-apier" in the London "Illustrated S. and D. News," when dealing with J. Reiff's career in England, tend to the correctness of that idea: "It may be remarked that Iteiif won \the Derby on Orby in 1907, again on Tagalie, in 1912, and came in first in 1913 on. Craganour, who was disqualified in favour of Aboyeur after that colt's jockey, if the story is true—and, so far as I know, it has never been contradicted—had apologised to Jvcilf for bumping and boring him! There have been some ourious Derbys; if the accepted account of the Craganour-Abuyeur race ba correot, that must be rated as the most curious of.all"

Many jockeys. .liave, beerisspoilt through flattery when at the top of their form, and ' the : "Special Commissioner" of the London "Sportsman"- has no doubt as to Tod Sloan being one of the number. The writeT quoted says: "Lord William BeresfoTd was one of the best in the world, but he made'too much of.Tod Sloan, and I have seen owners, who need not be named, walk arm in arm with Tod in the paddock at Newmarket. Tod Sloan'knew nothing of the discipline of a stable boy's or jockey's life in England when he came here, and he was dumped into'success without having learned anything of the orthodox routine' of his position. Ho could not 'carry corn,' as so many other sudden successes have failed to do, and he did many foolish tilings, which led to the racing authorities disliking him in this country and in France; but it was never alleged that Tod Sloan did not do his best to win every race he ever rode, and the pity is that he was nol taken in hand by a sterner member than. Lord William Beresford during his early days in England, There was still time for the old methods to have licked him into shape, and after a few years of that Lord William might have found his sort of higher class treatment also successful; but poor Tod never got the advantage of the. intermediate stage, which should, in his case, have been very rough and ready." | •
