NOTES AND COMMENTS

TBI GIENCOE.I '

Weights'for the Marton Mcetins will appear on Friday. , Acceptances for the minor events at tho Auckland Meeting untl final payments for the Aueklabd Cup. Baihvay Handicap, and Great Northern Derby Foal. Stakes and Boyal Slakes aro duo oh Friday. Those journeying to Fcathcrston by motor to-day should note that it' is neiessdry to piisa' the. camp before 10.15 a.m., as tho military authorities intend closing the road at that hour. The biggest field of the day is engaged in the Trial Handicap, ail furlongs. The distance will be a trifle far for Chimera, who haß raced well lately. Favouritism may bo divided between the locally-trained, fillies Bluegown and Exclusive. The services of 0. Emerson have been obtained for the former, and Bhe may go out better fancied than Exclusive. Hymestra, hardly beat Nanna over four furlongs in a try-out last week, nnd on .the form of the latter at Feilding and Woodville the colt reads well, with 9st. 91b. in the Tuhitarauta Handicap. His stable companion Nahna will probably bo reserved for later in tho day. Tlie Rimutaka Hack Handicap, one mile, has drawn thirteen acceptors, but they are riot a good lot. Blackhill raced well in better company at Woodville,' arid Altercation was also noticed finishing on well there. This pair and Arihia, may be prominent at the finish. • - Devotion and Impediment are at the head

of tho list in the bis Handicap. Both arc well performed, and have reocnt form to recommend them. Impediment is a longstriding filly, and m(l .y ]lo t bo suited by tho sharp tiirnß. A lilicly ono lower dewn in the handicap ia Mascot, 7st, 21b. Lately this mare has been galloping well at Trentliiuii. Torfreda, the full-sister to Hymeatra, is •to mako her first appearance in tho Nursory Handicap. She ib renorLed ire vory smart, and may go out first choice. Soveral, of the other runners have hart races with the colours up, and if Torfreda heats them to-day she will have justified her purchase. Cotillion and Damien both go fast over half a mile. In tho Puku Hack Handicap, sis furlongs, Comment, 9st. 21b., heads tho ' St. Sho i 8 bettor class than tho others, and if at her best will no doubt be well supported. Humorist won at Woodville, where !*ill Queen also shaped well. ' Xnnna may seo a Bhort price in the Boynolds Handicap, seven furlongs. The distance should not trouble her, as she won over a mile at Kiccarton in hack class. : Among the winners at n, meeting at- Canterbury Park, Sydney, was tho two-year-old filly Oharlcne, by Churlemango ll— Quiestest. Sho is a half-sister to Jloddite. who won races 011 tRe flat and over hurdles when trained by W\ M'Donald at Eicoarton.
