: NOTES AND COMMENTS

TBY GLENXOE.I The HoEchill fftiineas will bo run at Randhvick The Now! Zealand horse Biplane will be a runner, and EOTeral other Dominion representatives will race in tho handicap!* during the afternoon. L. Wilson, the ivell-known Hastings horseman, will probably hand in his riding licence as he has been appointed private trainer to Mr. W. Richmond. Ho is to fill the place of J. IT. Cameron, who shortly enters camp. Tho Taranaki Jockey Club's Committee meets on Tuesday next, when amongst other business it will probably deal ivith tho appointment of a handicapper to fill Mr. H. Ooyle's place. Mr. W. Richmond left for 6ydney tooently, and will bo present at the Eosehill meeting to-day. He has left instructions for St. Elmn to be shipped to Sydney as eoon as a hoat is available. While schooling at Levin on Thursday Lady Mascot dropped dead. She was a flve-yeaivold marc, by Zimmerman trom Countess Cole, and out of seven starts last season she did not succeed in (raining: a place. While working β-t Hastinss on Friday of lost week, the Derby colt Siinouidcs collided with a fence, and ho and his rider (L. Wilson) got a heavy fall. Tho rider soon reoovcred, but the colt was very sore for some days afterwards. A newcomer in M. Williams's /vablea at Oteki is tho Papakura KcldiUß Papamii. Tho official in charge of tho jockeys' boardi at Dannevirke was a bit q£ a wag. In one raco he did not receive tho name o£ one o£ tho riders, eo to explain to tho public that the error was not his, we blank space on tho board was flllod in with the words,, "Don't know. . ■ Wlat nearly proved a sorious omission took place in tho Hunt Oup Stcoplecliaso lit Dannevirko. When- saddlins hie- horso Ohaban, a hot favourite, by tho way, air. T R Taylor omitted to out tho lead-bas, carrying' over 2et.. imdcr the saddle. Happily, tho rider, A. Ward, got off at tho post to tighten nla mount e Rirths, and then the mistako was noticed and quickly rectified. In future the Opaki trainer, Thos. Pritchard, will aot as private trainer to tho well-known Wairarapa sportsman, Mr. A Oamcron. This means that Idyllic and several two-rear-olds will have to eo out of the stables. Mr. H. Whitney has decidod not to send Rose Pink to Ashburton. The Kilbroncy more will be at Otoki, and will take her placo in the principal handicap. The present flat-racing season has already been marked by the useful form on the past of several horses who. proved thomselvel smajt gallopers in juvenile events last season. At Morton last week Elocution, Silver Tongue, and ImpoaiVnent all by Demosthenes, -were among tte Inoncy winners, while at »*™*™}« Vaeabond added to the record by winning the principal race, rim over si* furlong 3. Arrardine to recent information from US p^^^=ou n would cause a hurrjed shortening, oven of the price- now on offer.
