THE TURF

NOTES AND COMMENTS lUr .'Jiißsbos.i Weights for tho Otaki Meeting will be puUisned on Friday. ' ' With Eewi Poto - engaged •in (ho Eaukawa Uup, Mr. JI. Goylc, who compiles tho weighs ior the Otuki Meeting, will probably not look lar fur a top weight. Acceptances lor the Wanganui'Meeting closu on Monday next. ' , The .'Oain'nru Cup will be decided on Wednesday next. The three 'top weights, Magdaia, Rorlios Drift and Martius, have stood thSu- ground, as have Daytime, Bandy, and Recorder, and iu this hall-, dozen there is the material for'an interesting race. ..'.'.'' Tlio Autumn Mc-eting of tho Marlborough Racing Club wilt bo held on the Riverlautte racecourse to-day, when a.card of seven-events will bo run through. In the Maiden Hack Handicnn, Anzac, whose name appears ou the card, will bo ineligible to. start, as he won a race, at Hastings this mouth. In his absence, the two-year-old Lady General, a place-getter at. Upulri and Tauhereuikau, may bo the fancy. Altercation is generally running on at the end of her races,'and may be in a place, 'the Porirua candidate Hoia was, not taken to the meeting. In tho Ugbrooke Welter Handicap, seven, furlongs, Ucorgo and Martial Air may be found disputing tho issue in the straight., Achilledes.-has shown no form tor a long time, I'ariform will -probably be reserved tor 'the' Flying Handicap run later in the day, and Ineuru will, start in the Cup. -

The draw for positions will have a lot to do with the result of the Electric Hack Handicap, live furlongs. If lucky in the draw, Anzac and Humorist may be best supported. Supporters of the former claim that ho is unbeatable,.and.one of them ottered to bet a good sum. yesterday against any of the other runners. Anzac will be ridden by A. Reed, and Humorist will have T. Pntehard in the saddle.

l'here is likely.to be a field of-eight ic the Marlborough Cup, and -favouritism may rest between Gold Soult and Heel Tap. Emerson will ride the former and A. Roed will bo up on the Achilles gelding. On a. dry, track the Porirua who will strip a grently improved horse, for the two races he had at Hastiugs, should be seen to advantage, though the supporters of Heel Tap profess confidence in their representative. ,

' It says littlo for the opposition in tho Hack Welter Handicap when; Bally liar is top. weight, for tho chestnut was only carrying the minimum at meetings about here and could hot win. Maltegardo has been racing bettor lately, and Redlig'ht is a good sticker, but the favourite may bo Kukri, who appeared to bo' unlucky not to be in a place in a much stronger field at Feilding at Easter.

■There.will be only one dividend in the Flying Handicap, in which Goldstream is top weight. Ho will want, to do a lot better, than he- has done lately if he is to defeat Pariform anr , -*3C!.,u',' but as he has been sent over the assumption is that his owner fancies his chance.

Franbpniict may carry.tho most support in the Autumn Handicap,, the field for which is a -very weak one.

New York has been, jumping the big fences well lately, and the chestnut gelding is fancied in .some..quarters for ithe Wanganui Steeplechase.

It looks as if M.'Hobbs may abandon his irip to Australia, as his horses aro advertised for sale.

Art, who is to contest the Century Hurdles at Wanganui, is to arrive here on Friday on his way north.

A. E. Wormald, who broke one of his legs when First Glance fell at the Wellington Racing Club's Meeting in January, has now almost recovered front his injuries, and-he expects to be riding again at tho.North- Otago Jockey Club's Meeting next week. - r

Mr. J. F. Reid, the well-lmown North Otago breeder, has Arranged to have Stkpka molted with Martian next season. Stepka,who is tlw dam of tho Wellington Cup winner, Pavlova, is by St. Leger —Stepfeldt, so that sho is a half-sister to Elevation, Provocation, and Reputation, the ilast-named being by Martian. The Feilding, horseman W.''Young has becii •engftged to ride "Captain Jack in. the Great Northern Steeplechase. So far no' has not accepted for tho Great Northern Hurdles, but will pilot Waipu'noa if that horse comes North. HARBOUR LIGHT SCRATCHED. By lelczrapli—Press Association.. Wanganui, May 16.
