NOTES AND COMMENTS JBy GtENCOE.I Owners are given final reminder that acceptances for the Napier Park Cup meeting must be made to-night. A big team of horses with engagements at the Nelson meeting were .shipped by the .tVitocna. yesterday. The A.J.C. committee followed tho English Jockey Clu'o in excluding poldiiks from tie A.J.C. Derby, but Inst week they <;«>ded to change their policy in tUis respect, and geldings aro to be allowed to compete for tho Dcrbv on tho eaino terms as coits. The alienation will meet with general approval. Acceptances for tho Master-ion meeting close on Friday next at 10 p.m. Nominations for the Canterbury Jockey Club's Great Easter end Autumn Handicaps close on Friday next. Acceptances for the Opunako meeting aro due on Thursday.

AVhen Client won the Wangamii Cup ho was reported to be sore, and on (his account was allowed to pay a false price. It should bo remembered that his sire, Elevation,' was always a bit. short in front, but he ran his best races when in fihis condition, and it would appear as if this is the case with Client.

Splendid entries havo been received for tho big handicaps at tho Easter Meeting of tho Ellcrslio Club. All tho principal handicap horses in tho Dominion figure in the lists, which include the Trenthamtrained Seadowu, Chakwana, and Meuekue. . ' '.•

Backers of horses have beeu enjoying a fairly good run lately, but they met with a severe reverse at Akaroa on Saturday, when favourite after favourite was defeated. In a threo-horso race, Peronilla, who had dono smart schooling work at Riwarton, was allowed to pay a false price, and eho v.on witli any amount in hand.

In {he Australian Cup, ru.rt at Flemington to-day, 11. It. Cairns will have tho mount on the imported Aides, whilo It. Lewis will bo up on tho Martagon horse, Orconcap. Thoro can bo no doubt (says ,iu exchange) that Woorak is a. very popular horse. His reception after he won the Oaklcigh. Plato was quito remarkable, the cheering being renewed timo after time. Woorak was woighted at 10.13 for tho Hawkesburn- Handicap, of six furlongs, at tho V.A.T.C. meeting.

"Whalebone," in tho Auckland "Star," says:—"Although it is not generally known, it is understood that a sub-com-mitteo of tho Auckland Racing Club has been busy for some time past biking evidence! bearing on things generally iu connection with tho sport. For obvious reasons tho meetings are of a. private jwtuw, but from what can bo gathered eorao of the evidence has been a bit of an eye-opener to tho committee, and as (ircsult it is a certainty that inoro than one rauegoer will bo notified that racing at Kllerslio can bo carried on satisfactorily without his-presonce The action of (ho committee will liavo tho support of tho majority, and though one hs a rule does not; hold with private inquiries, circumstances alter coses, and onn can bo content with tlie knowledge that what is being done is for the good of tho sport as a wholo." Treasure King, who figures amongst tlio entries for tho Maiden Hack Baco at MasU'i-toii. is not eligible to compete, as ho won ;i race worth 100 eovs. at the 70cont Ciisborno meeting. At a meeting of the stewards of tho Wairai'apa Kacirij Club, two members who are in camp, wrote resigning, and the secretary ivis instructed to notify both that they .wero eiven leave of absence till tho termination of the war. Tho Defence Department wrote to the effect that tenders tvpto being called for an infectious diseases hospital, so that in future the course buildings would not need to lie used for infections cases.
