NOTES AND COMMENTS

IBt ' •Jtlenoob.l Ownors should note thai to-night entries close for the Pahiatua 11 meeting. Isoiniiiatioiis for the Grout Eastern awl Auiiimu Handicaps arc also due, and acceptances for the Mastcrtori meeting must be made by 10 p.m. - \ ' At Napier to-day the Karanni (tables has a representative engaged in each race of file day. Kooya, who is to make her Initial appearand) in u jumping Taco today is now trained by G. Jones at Greenmeadows. She is stated to ho a most promising,jumper, hut it is'too much to expect success for her in her first start. Another promising sort is 'J.'ipa 'I'ipa, who hails from Gisborne.' He wont with Kooya over three fences on Tuesday, and was Joo good' for her, hut the distance will probably find him out on account of greenness. /Scorch is a good useful marc, but the last pinch might trouble her. Brunswick goc-s well, and, aided by his light weight, should see the distance out well. ' Hydrus, the top-woight in tho Esk Hnck Handicap, will probably be favourite. He lias not raced since the Wellington Cup ,meeting, where he won a double. His form on the last duy was very-convincing, when he easily bent a hot favourite in Limpet. - ' The lending jockey, J. O'Shea.Js np on Pursefilier, Beltane, arid Cleft, at Napier to-dny. P. Brady will ride the Karamu team, and W. Bell will be 011 Lady Nolan, M'ultifual, Downhaiu, and Rcvalenta. The latter is a half-sister id Panmure,' and should run well in tho Trial Stakes. Tf half one hoars of her in true, she is likely to turn out as good as Faninuro. She and Marie Agnes, the English filly, belonging to Mr. W. (I. Stead, have a 71b. allowance for the' Cup. Multiply is an unlikely starter, and Avon Park will he an absontee from the Flying Handicap. Indigo is to be ridden by P. Brady, and Eligible, who looks a greatly improved horse for his speli, will have O'Briens 6erviccs. Ho is sure to start favourite, and the Hastings trackwatchers'regard him as a Desert Gofd in a maiden field. Rcwi Poto fK. Hatch) has the same weight as"he won with last year. He is certain to be a place-getter. Gisborne form gives Rupaliu (W. Ryan) a chance, and some pin their fnif.li to Pursefilier, who looks well. Hyllus, who finishes well, gives excellent promise for the Sapling Stakes, and in the Plying Handicap Hyginas wiU ;scc a very short price. in l exceptionally fine selection of pictures is a feature of the current issue of the "Sporting and Dramatic "Review." A. striking set of war illustrations includes devastation of churches, review of French troops by King George, German prison. er3, captured Turkish officers. German soldiers in winter operations, French war leaders, prisoners in Japan, Polish Jews in German hands, what the French are doing on tlm Western front, and others of similar interest. The encampment of the 3rd Auckland Regiment at Home Bar, Motntapu, makes a particularly attractive Perics. I!e|):i)iiucl:on of starts and iMiishes at the recent race meetings at Wanganui, 't'e Arolia. and Rolorua, together with stage portraits, make up a meritorious number.—Advl.
