NOTES AND COMMENTS [Bi Glencob.l Entries for the - Woodvillo District Jockey-Club's Summer Meeting close , on Friday night. , •Acceptances for the Feilding Jockey Club's meeting close on Friday night at 8.30 o'clock. The 'Cardinal Beaufort youngster purchased by Mr. W. Duncan at the Bandwick Easter sales will probably be given his first race in the Oroua Stakes on the second day of the Feilding meeting. ' limported horse 6 have had a coasiderj able measure of success in Australia, but eo far only one of them has won_ a I Melbourne Cup. This was Comedy King, who scored six years ago. There were several "foreigners" in this year's Cup field, but a colonial (Sasanof) won, while the nest two places were filled by importations. G. Price went out to Trentham v yesterday to have a look at Birkenvale, who was recently operated on. The two-year-old js to be sent back to the Highden stables at the end of the week. Tho Marco horse Costello, who was one of tho early favourites for the Epsom Handicap, has gone wrong and is to go to the stud. On the tracks Costello had the • reputation ,• of of those "who could, but wouldn t." A Melbourne 1 paper published on the morning of the Cup gave the opinions of several of the leading trainers of the horse most likely to win tho Cup. lwo well-known judges in E. A. Connolly ana F. M'Grath selected Sasanof outright. The owners of Chakwana were anxious to secure the yearling half-sister by Birkenhead, which w«is sold last week in Christchurch, but after going to 300gns. their representative retired, anu tho filly was knocked down to Mr. J. Fuller, of Blenheim; at 310gns.

For the second tune/in the history of the race a gold cup was this year presented to the winner of the Melbourne Cup. The trophy should mate a, valuable addition to the prizes already won by Mr. AV. G. Stead's horses. After the win of Oxenhope on the second day at Riccarton the locallyowned Seadown looked to be the best ot good things' for the Avon 'Handicap, in which he failed to finish the first eight. Ono thing becomcs apparent after his failure, and that is that winter form, when welter weights are carried, does not work in the summer, when a light scale is m vogue Oxenhope would appear to to a bettei performer under a light soalo of weights than is Seadown. The last-named failed in each of his attempts, and piay. be

given a spoil in tho paddock for a couple of months. Local stiiblos will bo well represented at the Ashhursfc meoting next week. C. Pritchard is taking Mount Victoria and Roso Pink; ,T. Ayers, Bairnsdale; P. M'Laughlin, The (jolfer; and H. Telford, Marsinali and Devotion. ' Ayah, who developed shin BOTeßess on tho ovo of tho Wellington fleeting, is now quite recovered, and will lie seen out at the Christmas meetings. Another smart T'rentham hack in Miss De Val got badly kicked at the Wellington meeting, but she is making a good recovery. and will probably be entered at the Woodville meeting, which takes place eariy next month. L. H. Hewitt, who was riding at the Winton meeting ye6teTday, had his Bret winning mount on the Fti|tno course twenty years ago. At the suggestion of the Minister of Internal Affairs the President of tho Haoing Conference has recently circularised all clubs asking that no raoe be started until tho totalisator officials notify the .secretary that all the investments have been rung on. The secretary will then causo a flag to bo hoisted as a notification to the starter to proceed with the dispatch. This is a result of the Varnish episode at the winter meeting at Eiccarton.
